Versions
How to Install Spectator Mode - Free Cam on Your Server
Order Satisfactory Server
Order a Satisfactory server with at least 4 GB RAM (6 GB recommended). For multiplayer: per 4 players.
Install Mod
Open the mod manager in the dashboard and search for "Spectator Mode - Free Cam". Installation dependencies are installed automatically.
Restart Server
Restart the server so the mod is loaded. Players need to have the mod installed locally as well.
Frequently Asked Questions
Spectator Mode - Free Cam not working after update β what to do?
After a Satisfactory update, mods need to be updated. Check ficsit.app whether Spectator Mode - Free Cam has been updated for the new game version. With Mado Hosting: open the mod manager and click "Update All". If the mod hasn't been updated yet, temporarily remove it so the server starts.
Spectator Mode - Free Cam causing crashes in multiplayer β solution
Most common cause: all players must have exactly the same mod version installed. Check server logs for "ModMismatch" or "Version Conflict". Ensure all players use Spectator Mode - Free Cam v1.0.6 and the same SML. With Mado Hosting, Satisfactory servers run with 6 GB RAM for stable multiplayer performance.
Is Spectator Mode - Free Cam compatible with other Satisfactory mods?
Spectator Mode - Free Cam uses the Satisfactory Mod Loader (SML). Generally, SML-based mods are cross-compatible, but mods modifying the same game systems can cause conflicts. Test new mod combinations on a backup save. The Mado dashboard automatically detects known conflicts and warns you.
Rent Spectator Mode - Free Cam Server
Play Spectator Mode - Free Cam on your own Satisfactory server with mod support.
