Background:

I wanted to host a dedicated server for friends. I discovered several mods were unavailable for Dedicated Servers. I have a copy of Satisfactory in both Epic and Steam. The thought was to run a ~~"server"~~ client in Epic with mods, and a client in Steam with mods to join the game hosted through Epic.

Issue:

SMM checks to see if the game is running, and regardless of whether it was launched using Epic or Steam, it prevents other Modded instances of Satisfactory from launching because the system sees an instance.

Suggested feature:

Please consider adding the ability to run the SMM as different users, or support multiple instances, for when multiple instances of Satisfactory are installed and running in concert.

Workaround:

A potential workaround is to run multiple instances of the client instead, unfortunately that capability is blocked.

Note: This may not be required come v1.0, but several mods are not supported on dedicated servers.

You don't need to launch the game from SMM for mods to be loaded. The engine itself handles that, SMM only places the files in the correct locations.

The library SMM is currently using only returns the running executable name, not its full path (because that's what the OS APIs return in the process list, the full path would be one additional call per process), so SMM can't know which of them is actually running. Though I will look into other libraries which might support full paths.

Side note, for other people finding this, please create a separate issue, even for SMM3 bugs/features. This issue was simply a todo list for the early development stages of SMM3
