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. If you need to access older log files, see https://docs.ficsit.app/satisfactory-modding/latest/faq.html#Files_Logs

Yeah. If you're trying to play with no mods, use the on/off toggle instead of a vanilla profile

it still does the same thing even with it off i think i might be out of date and i dont know how to update it this is the whole error message Plugin 'SML' failed to load because module 'SML' could not be found. Please ensure the plugin is properly installed, otherwise consider disabling the plugin for this project.

If mods are switched off SML shouldn't be loaded into your games folder at all, have you moved your install or something?
MaroonTheCombatProtogen
and i dont think so

Yeah that error means the wrong version of SML is in your games mods folder, which shouldn't be the case if mods are off
