Solution:
Something has caused your profile file to become corrupted. Please do the following: 1. Go to the Mod Manager profiles folder on your computer 2. Upload the files here so we can try to find out what went wrong. 3. Delete the profile files so the mod manager can open again. 4. Install the Satisfactory Mod Loader mod, then try to load your save file. This will produce a warning message telling you what mods you had installed when you last played the save file. If the message is too long, the game's log files will contain the full list....

the game not working is due to some misplaced mod files, fixing the mod manager will help clean those up you do not need to open the mod manager to go to a folder on your computer

here is one way to access folders like the localappdata folder: https://www.quora.com/Where-can-I-find-a-localappdata-folder "no items mach my search" because it is not something to search for, it is a shortcut directly to a specific folder

Robb
Robb2w ago
we haven't figured out what causes this yet. best guess is the mod manager being shut down before it can save profile changes

Your profile's lockfile has somehow became corrupted. Delete the something-lock.json file with your profile's name from your game install directory. -# Rule logic: https://regex101.com/r/qVEqAj/ -# Responding to failedparsinglockfile triggered by @Roronoa Zoro
