DTFL Lite is missing = Crash

Upon loading a save after recent Satisfactory (Steam) Update, I keep getting DTFL Lite is Missing. Me not knowing what it is, but thinking it is just a version mismatch from an updated mod, I try to load it anyways and it crashes giving me:
Solution:
Your actual crash, however, could just be that one of your mods hasn't updated to SML 3.10.0 yet. Try rolling back to 3.9.1 ( https://discord.com/channels/555424930502541343/1347049882996834356/1347054278073909283 ― it's a non-destructive action and can be easily reversed in the same way) then running the game, see if it still crashes.

We need more information to help you. Before launching the game again, open the Mod Manager and use the "Generate debug info" option, then send the zip file produced here in this channel.

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.

What? I'll try this, but it is unlikely that is the issue as I've been playing it like this for the last 43hrs on this save with no issue.

Uh, I'm not sure why the bot triggered that. None of your logs show any evidence of version mis-matches. DTFL is this: https://ficsit.app/mod/DataTableFunctionLibraryLite ― it's a dependency for Acxd's mods. However, you seem to only have Industrial Evolution installed, which doesn't require that dependency.

You do seem to have a stub install in your SMM profile though somehow.
{"time":"2025-03-07T07:31:54.3367576-05:00","level":"WARN","msg":"failed to get metadata for installation","path":"d:\\EpicGames\\SatisfactoryExperimental"}

Which is interesting, since it isn't showing up in metadata.json

I used to use Satisfactory Experimental and EA from the Epic launcher. But Epic kept logging me out so I bought it on steam. How do I downgrade? SML isn't a mod I installed, so I know it exists, but where do I find it in SMM? Wait, I see it.

Oh, I see why the bot triggered. It's an old error you had in the SMM log from back in November, I guess you had the old version still installed then.
