SMM Fails on Start after Fresh Install: "Failed to load settings"

Tried installing the latest version of SMM with Satisfactory 1.0. SMM produces this error whenever I try to start the application.

The following is from the SatisfactoryModManager.log file:

{"time":"2024-10-21T18:44:14.5721347-04:00","level":"INFO","msg":"starting Satisfactory Mod Manager","version":"3.0.3","commit":"eab4298f6fdfd6b14c10d158a34cd3b7807783de","date":"2024-10-21T18:43:48Z","type":"nsis"}
{"time":"2024-10-21T18:44:14.5836338-04:00","level":"ERROR","msg":"failed to load settings","error":"failed to unmarshal settings: failed to unmarshal SMM2 settings: json: cannot unmarshal string into Go struct field smm2Settings.launchButton of type bool"}


I have tried:
  • Clearing all SMM related folders in AppData
  • Reinstalling Satisfactory

Solution
Paste that path into the windows search bar or into the run dialog (win key + r)
