To start off this week we have small patch but hopefully with some big impact :)
We’re still working on fixing plenty of other things with the Engine Upgrade, but if there is anything that you think needs to be fixed or want to tell us about the improvements you’ve gotten from the update please let us know at our QA site https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/ We read your comments every day.
There’s more to come, thanks for enjoying our game <3
BUG FIXES
Fixed 3 more crashes
Fixed Fluid indicator UI not displaying properly in the Coal Generator
Engine Upgrade Hotfix 0.3.8.1
Hi Pioneers!
Thank you all for your feedback so far, we have been reading your posts over at our QA site, https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/ We are aware of some of the issues you are having and we are already working on fixing a lot of them.
We also noticed that a lot of you seem to be experiencing crashes when launching the game or when loading a save, we are investigating those issues but, in the meantime, you can verify your game files and try updating or removing all mods, as they might not be currently compatible with our current engine upgrade in the experimental version.
To verify your game files on Steam:
Right click the game > Properties > Verify integrity of game files…
To verify your game on Epic:
Click on “…” next to the game title > Verify
This process might take quite a while depending on your PC and it might re-download a lot of missing files, which might also take a while depending on your Internet connection.
There’s more fixes to come, as always, thank you for playing and for your support <3
BUG FIXES
Fixed some of the most prominent crashes and added more logs to troubleshoot others
Fixed Fluid indicator UI not displaying properly in the Fluid Buffer
Fixed a few Menus clipping to the side of the screen
LOCALISATION
Updated all languages with the latest translations.
Some typos have been fixed
4.25 Unreal Engine upgrade for Satisfactory (EXPERIMENTAL)
Hi Pioneers!
Hello everybody! I know a lot of you were waiting for this so let’s get started.
Today we’re releasing the 4.25 Unreal Engine upgrade for Satisfactory to Experimental. With this come a lot of cool new optimisations and lots of other stuff under the hood, but it might introduce a lot of unexpected bugs. So, we’re launching this on Experimental first so we can fix these issues before we release this to everyone in our Early Access version.
What can you expect from the engine upgrade? We have made a lot of optimisation changes both to the game in general and multiplayer specifically: Players and enemies should feel less choppy and more responsive as a result from all the network, general bandwidth, and engine optimisations.
The way the eye adaption algorithm worked has also changed, so the game might be a little bit darker or brighter in some places. We have a temporary fix for this which should cover most situations and have also added a Gamma option slider to further adjust brightness if necessary.
If you want to learn more about the Engine Upgrade, you can watch this video made by Jace explaining some more stuff: https://youtu.be/0kmDHBWf640
Before you dive right into the update please remember to BACKUP YOUR SAVES!
While we always aim to make sure your saves are compatible with any future updates, we cannot ensure the same for backwards compatibility with older versions, so please remember that if you play on Experimental, save and then decide to return to the Early Access version some issues may happen.
There are quite a few bugs we already know of and are already working on fixing as soon as possible, however please let us know if you are experiencing any issues or have any feedback over at our QA site https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/. We read your posts over there daily and your reports will help us fix things as soon as we can :)
ENGINE UPGRADE
Updated to Unreal Engine version 4.25
OPTIMISATION
The maximum bandwidth of the Network Quality Setting values has been increased
General Bandwidth reduction o This includes optimisations to the general bandwidth consumption of Minimap/HUD location data transfer, Replication Graph optimizations for Conveyor Belts/Lifts, Building Inventory replication and many other minor replication changes.
QUALITY OF LIFE
Added a Gamma slider in the Options Menu
[EXPERIMENTAL] DirectX12 can now be forced in the options menu. o Please note that this can be very unstable and cause crashes and we do not currently have any plans to actively support it, we are including it for testing purposes.

FICS*MAS Hotfix 0.3.7.6 - Patch Notes
Hi Pioneers!
Apparently 2020 still haunts us and didn’t want to let us go without some issue into the new year so the FICS*MAS event ended prematurely on the 1st. So we’re pushing a hotfix to remedy this.
The FICS*MAS event should™ still be going on until Jan 18th.
Also, it seems like there’s some issue with steam’s patching system as some games act a little wonky after updates. If you’re having issues try verifying the game files by right clicking the game in your library and selecting properties > local files > verify integrity of game files...
Oh, and Happy New Year!
BUG FIXES

We also now have a FPS caps options so your GPU no longer tries to take off in main menu and the FOV going much lower alongside the options we previously introduced should help ultrawide monitor users get much more comfortable configs.

We’ve seen the distress caused by the Lizard Doggos not being quite as cheerful as always so we got a patch to address that immediately.
There might be some other fixes listed below but nothing is quite as important as that.
