Friend Stuck in Loading Screen on Join
My Friend and I had a working modded world, ran great. Decided to add a few more mods, after we did so, he couldn't join my hosted world. We removed the mods we added and the issue is still there. Mod list in attatched image

Have your friend do this
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.

Key Details for SMMDebug-2025-08-20-16-49-17.zip triggered by @pooknokiwhat do i do now?
wait for me to have a chance to read the logs 😆
so sorry

Seems odd, while I look into it a bit more this might be worth a shot. Tell me if it downloads anything
It is actually pretty much loading you into Dune Desert, not sure why it's not showing you it's loaded
but certainly there's a lot of slightly unsual stuff about the game's link to steam services in the logs - there's a chance just rebooting your PC might fix it (assuming verifying files doesn't repair any damage)
here is what it downloaded
I don't know if rebooting my computer will do anything as I was having the same issue yesterday. i seem to load in Partially but on my end all I see is the loading screen and some background noise of the factories I have let that load For long periods of time and nothing ever happens I'm just stuck on the loading screen
Verified files and rebooted it seems that it’s still not working
Ok that's interesting, the fact it downloaded something means there was damage to your install (which couldn't have been caused by mods)
if you both turn all mods off can you connect? I think there's a chance this isn't a modding issue
ok will try that now
We launched vanilla satisfactory, and he was able to join free of issue.
ok, before he re-enables mods, clear the mod cache
Ok
where?
you can find where your location is by going here
Just delete the files inside?
yeah, it does mean it'll need to fully redownload all the mods unfortunately
Ok
also reboot SMM after
pooknoki's mod cache was empty when he checked, even though he has mods installed
hm turn mods off first?
yes
well that's super weird
I am unfortunately out of time, hopefully someone smarter will be along to help soon
thank you for your help
thank you forthe help
Just an update, we created a new world with the same mods, friend loaded in fine with no issues. So it is just our world/saved game that has issues.

In which case sometimes uploading a save to SCIM and downloading it again can fix things
