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

Your profile's lockfile has somehow became corrupted. Delete the
something-lock.json file with your profile's name from your game install directory.

It looks like you have not yet generated the debug info file!
Please do as the mod manager requested. Click the "Generate debug info" button and send the zip file in <#1243688087578738770> otherwise we will not be able to help you!

i dont have a profile folder for some reason
and where do i find that something-lock,json file
nvm for some reason it works right now, idk how but it works
once again it is crashing
Is your hard drive full?
no,i got a 1tb drive thats only half full so that cant be thr problem
Honestly, at this point, I'd go for uninstalling SMM entirely, deleting its directories (
%appdata%\ficsit %appdata%\SatisfactoryModManager %localappdata%\ficsit %localappdata\SatisfactoryModManager ) and starting again (this won't affect your save or mod game settings).
The crash seems like it may be a separate issue. It's crashing in a weird place ( FSubsystemCollectionBase::GetSubsystemInternal() <- UFGLocalPlayer::OnLoginStatusChanged() ), however, it's also crashing after you've already shut the game down, so I'm not sure this is really a problem.im having same problem cant launch game or smm just pops up with this error ive unistalled both the game and smm and deleted folders pertaining to smm ie appdata folders still after reinstall gives same error
