SMM queries the APIs of the EPIC and Steam game store apps to determine where your game is. If you moved its location after installation manually, your installer client will not know where it is. You will need to reinstall your game through your store client so that it is in a known location. This will not affect your saves.
probably this
alright
ty
still aint working
failed to add installation: failed to validate installation: did not find game executable in G:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Satisfactory
it should auto detect your steam install, are you trying to add it as a server or something?
if I recall correctly "failed to add installation" only appears during adding servers, but I could be wrong
otherwise, not sure why this is happening. try sending the smm log file since it isn't being included in the debug zip for some reason

ah yea thats my fault after i didnt see anything i tried installing it as a server but well it isnt finding anything automatix
alright so i reinstalled it and now its working
i still had a v2 version
"it" being the game or the mod manager?
Solution
the mod manager
huh, I wonder if you had a version before auto update was added or something, it should have offered to update you to v3
strange i also clicked many times on check for updates and it never gave me anything. i had to use the new .exe
well, glad you got it working
yep tysm for the help
