Start with the attached SatisfactoryModManager.log and the reported cmd.exe command that launches the Epic Games URI. Reproduce the failure with SMM 3.1.0 while confirming that direct launch from Epic Games still works; done means Satisfactory launches successfully through SMM.

Description

Hello,
I installed version 3.1.0 of SMM from GitHub, but I can't launch the game Satisfactory through SMM.
The game launches fine from Epic Games.
The Epic Games manifest and LauncherInstalled.dat files are correct.
I'm sending you the SMM log file.

SatisfactoryModManager.log

There's a failure in this file:
{"time":"2026-08-12T13:18:14.423118+02:00","level":"ERROR","msg":"failed to launch game","error":"exit status 1","cmd":"C:\\Windows\\system32\\cmd.exe /C start com.epicgames.launcher://apps/?action=launch&silent=true ","output":"Acc\ufffds refus\ufffd.\r\n"}

Do you have a solution for the issue of launching the game via SMM?

Regards.
