Something has caused your profile file to become corrupted. Please send the files you have in your Mod Manager profiles folder here so we can try to find out what went wrong. It may be possible to recover your profiles, but if not, you will have to delete them.
You can try to find out what mods the profile used to have in a few ways:
- Your save file keeps track of the mods you were using. Loading it while missing mods will produce a warning message and messages in the game's log files.
- Mod manager log files may mention the names of mods you were downloading

failedtoinitializeprofiles triggered by @McCovicanhere is my profiles
I have deleted the profiles still crashes
i have completely reinstalled everything and still pops up. checked the profiles json and it blank
Yeah, you have quite a bit of ooooold content in that profile. I would advise uninstalling SMM, and deleting the profile directories it leaves behind (
%appdata%\ficsit & %appdata%\SatisfactoryModManager), then reinstalling SMM.Those are the SMM2 profiles. The blank profiles.json are the SMM3 profiles you should delete
Solution
deleting that empty files worked
