Auto continue mod - 257 player loads under map
This is a strange one. I was able to recreate the issue at least 3 times after I pinpointed structural solutions. Though it doesn't happen when I am not testing and not looking for it .... this is sooo wierd.. this doesn't make sense which makes me to believe this mod being the issue is some sort of false postive because I have successfully loaded the game without issue.
the issue is it will skip the main menu and auto load the last save and put me under the map. It says player 257 has joined. I was told sounds like Satisfactory isn't connecting to the epic servers. I redownloaded epic, which had me also reinstall satisfactory. I searched google and I found a listing that stated it COULD be the windows firewall. Um when I try to allow an app through I cannot find the launcher. I am stuck now.

i'm releasing a new version now, hope it works better. Let me know if this happens again! 🙂 Sorry about that mistake.

I forgot to add that the game loads fine with the others with this mod paused
Something is telling me Im gonna have to start over on a new world
Okay now im super confused. The issue happened with this mod paused even though I was able to recreate it with it 4 times in a row with it unpaused.
I already reinstalled epic and sat
How i found out is with the mod paused the belt modes are missing and belt tool was acting very strange as the belts were folding on themeselves when I make a bend on straight mode. Curved mode is missing and I do have 1.1 installed and tried to test a new save which crashed the game and now it wont load properly no more
It wont load properly with structrual solutions paused or unpaused
and I just tried completely deleting the mod and yep same thing
I disabled two modes and I got it to load and now better alternate recipes is causing the issue > i deleted
this is the wierd belt behavior I was talking about its folded in on itself on the bend... and curve mode is missing

hitting verify on epic seems to do nothing as it does not give me any feedback
no error message, prompt, nothing '
im reinstalling satisfactory without unisntalling epic launcher unlike last time. which forced uninstalled sat
Now, even if I launch from SMM Sat does not see the mods
this is after fresh install of Satisfactory
I will check in the morning for any replies
I think this is game logs
This is where I got from

updated log from SMM even though Idt its needed

Anything yet?
It might be worth running the save through SCIM, it can sometimes help when there's bugged things left from mods you've removed
and do ?
If that's the issue all you need to do is upload your save to SCIM, then download it from there without doing anything else
That process can sometimes help
Otherwise, if that doesn't help, it might be time to binary test mods to see if you can narrow down the problem mods

I did all the enable disable mod
its happening mutliple modss
which leads me to the game
its itermittent it seems
is it a possibility I have to many mods
Im running this stuff on a laptop gpu
thats whats probably happening hoenstly
Hmmmm is there a chance you have Cartograph installed? Since 1.1 it is very taxing on GPUs
nope I uninstalled
And mass upgrade
wow there are bnio mods loaded
\
also idk if gpu is pegged... thatsd a guess
flex slpines is causing the wierd belt glitch where it folds on it self on turns
that mod worked previously for very odd
I suppose there is no guess to what is happening now is ther
I'm a little stumped tbh
But that doesn't mean that someone else won't see this and have an idea as to what might be going on for you 🤞
I consolidated the mod list to ones that I cannot live without .... it went from almost 200 down to 71
I had to do the same thing recently :worryPat:
Hopefully that helps 🤞
should I close this ticket though
Because Idk what will happen
Maybe wait to see if that resolves your problems or not
Tbh I think this info is not gonna be helpful for others though
I think I may have found the culprit ..... I found a mod in my list called auto continue. This mod if I am reading the discription correctly does exactly what the issue I am having ... where it skips the main menu and auto loads a save.
But I cannot confirm for a 100% certainty that this is it
Yep this video confirms it. So this is an intended feature.
am I using auto continue incorrectly that would cause my 257 player to load under the map
as stated it doesn't happen all the time ...
It only happens with the menu skip is intiated
@Andre Aquila <Aquila Industrial> just FYI
Hmm. Good to know!!!
Seems like its starting the game before the Epic/Steam log. I think i had to add a condition to it. Let me try something here to avoid this.
