SMM can't launch this install

Solution:
The reason SMM isn't working is because it's looking for the game in the original install location `C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Satisfactory' instead of where it currently is. To fix it, you either need to have Steam put the game back where SMM thinks it should be, or somehow tell SMM to use the new location.

The file you uploaded contains error messages that tell us what the problem is. It's not a fix.

Nothing. You wait and answer questions I think you need to repair your game install in steam. It looks like something happened and it's no longer where Steam says it should be

Have you successfully run the game without mods? Looks like you might be having issues with your graphics card

Yeah somehow 'New Folder' has ended up in your directory structure between steam and steamapps So steam will have lost track of your install
