Trainer Info

To assist you better, could you please share a few details? Feel free to skip a question if you've already shared the info.

-Where did you purchase the game?
-Are you using any other mods alongside Wand?
-Are you playing in single-player or multiplayer mode?
-Do you see any error messages?
-Which specific mod options aren’t working for you?

Hey @dusty forge, thanks for the info! Does this only happen while playing Satisfactory, or does it happen while playing other games as well?

Could you try following these steps and let me know:

We recommend doing a clean reinstall of the game via Steam. After uninstalling, please remove any leftover game files before reinstalling.
Once done, restart your PC, launch the game from Steam without mods, then exit the game.

After that, please follow these steps:

Step 1: Clean Reinstall Wand
Uninstall Wand via Add or Remove Programs
Delete the following folders:
-C:\Users\Your_Name\AppData\Local\Wand
-C:\Users\Your_Name\AppData\Local\SquirrelTemp
-C:\Users\Your_Name\AppData\Roaming\Wand

Restart your PC

Reinstall Wand by downloading it from: https://wand.com/download

PS: You can find your AppData folder by pressing Win + R, type in %appdata%, and press Enter. Also, if you see any WeMod related folders, please delete them too.

Step 2: Disable Overlay

Disable the Wand overlay by going to Game settings → Overlay options → Overlay and turning it off.
It may also help to temporarily disable any overlays while testing, as they can sometimes interfere with mods. This includes overlays from apps such as Steam, Discord, GeForce Experience, Xbox Game Bar, MSI Afterburner/RTSS, and AMD Radeon.

Step 3: Launch Order

Fully close both Wand and Steam from your system tray. Once closed, relaunch both applications as Administrator (right-click each app and select “Run as administrator”).

Set Steam to Offline Mode (open Steam → click “Steam” in the top-left → select “Go Offline”).

Launch the game directly from Steam (do not use Wand yet) and load into your saved game.

Wait until the game has fully loaded and you’re able to move around in the game world.

Once in-game, press Alt+Tab to switch to the Wand app, then click PLAY to connect the trainer. When the status shows “PLAYING,” you can enable your mods again.

storm solstice May 23, 2026, 1:52 PM

#

Does this happen even when you are no longer playing satisfactory?

dusty forge May 23, 2026, 1:52 PM

some times

Step 1: Clean Reinstall Wand
Uninstall Wand via Add or Remove Programs
Delete the following folders:
-C:\Users\Your_Name\AppData\Local\Wand
-C:\Users\Your_Name\AppData\Local\SquirrelTemp
-C:\Users\Your_Name\AppData\Roaming\Wand

Restart your PC

Reinstall Wand by downloading it from: https://wand.com/download

PS: You can find your AppData folder by pressing Win + R, type in %appdata%, and press Enter. Also, if you see any WeMod related folders, please delete them too.

Step 2: Disable Overlay

Disable the Wand overlay by going to Game settings → Overlay options → Overlay and turning it off.
It may also help to temporarily disable any overlays while testing, as they can sometimes interfere with mods. This includes overlays from apps such as Steam, Discord, GeForce Experience, Xbox Game Bar, MSI Afterburner/RTSS, and AMD Radeon.

Try these steps above, they usually do the trick

#

The app itself running in the backround shouldn't be crashing your PC
