Harmless
Satisfactory: SSL handshake failed — harmless message
Example error line
LogSocketsSSL: Warning: Failed to initialize SSL state for Socket HttpRequest
Cause
Satisfactory's built-in HTTP listener occasionally reports a failed TLS handshake when a client — including our own server monitoring — queries the HTTPS API. This is a known quirk of the Unreal Engine HTTP listener, not an outage: player-count queries keep succeeding reliably despite this notice.
Fix
No action needed — your server keeps running normally, this message has no impact on gameplay.
