Mods unable to be updated?
I get that error everytime I try to update them. I found online the problem was that the mod manager is looking at "factorygame.exe" and steam is looking at "factorygamesteam.exe" but if I rename the steam one stean says it can't launch the game, and if I rename the none steam one the mods don't load at all. How do I stop this????

You have two versions of the game installed in the same folder, because you downgraded the game at some point. Now, you downgraded the game so much that the bot didn't actually trigger on that game version in the screenshot

Make sure you updated the game before launching SMM. If your game is up to date, you have both U8 and 1.0 installed in the same folder at once, and SMM is detecting the U8 version.
To fix this, uninstall the game, delete the game install dir if it still exists (this is NOT the AppData folder, but the location where you installed the game), then reinstall the game, and reopen SMM.
If reinstalling the game takes too long for you, a quicker fix is to delete the
<game install dir>\Engine\Binaries\Win64\FactoryGame-Win64-Shipping.version file, though this is not meant to be a permanent solution, as having the game installed twice in the same directory can cause issues later.okay, I will try that thank you
now the mod manager is just showing that
Click on that dropdown and check if there's another install listed
There are no other install listed
Can you launch the game in Steam?
Yes. The game still launches in steam
And if you restart SMM does it still say unknown, with no other options in the game install dropdown?
Yes
I’m having steam verify the game files
Okay! It is all working properly now
