| 1s | hi everyone it's your boy snoot here uh |
|---|---|
| 5s | no wait hi everyone it's your boy snood |
| 8s | here and so this video is going to be a |
| 11s | little bit of a wrap up with some info |
| 13s | regarding the state of last week's |
| 14s | release of update six and what we're |
| 17s | currently working on I hope you enjoyed |
| 19s | the trailer we put out by the way it was |
| 20s | kind of like a last second thing as we |
| 22s | originally didn't really plan to make |
| 24s | one for this update but for several |
| 26s | reasons we decided to go for it there |
| 27s | also wasn't a patch notes video this |
| 29s | time around because we were a bit |
| 31s | pressed on time Jace was still on break |
| 33s | and you know some things moved around so |
| 35s | making the trailer was really the better |
| 36s | option for this update I will say though |
| 38s | if you really miss seeing the patch |
| 39s | notes in a video format there are a |
| 41s | couple of videos made by the community |
| 43s | on everything that is new in update six |
| 45s | so for instance satisfactory news has a |
| 47s | really good video on everything that is |
| 48s | new in update six and Kim it's also made |
| 50s | one during experimental period to name a |
| 53s | few so I highly recommend checking these |
| 54s | out I will leave some links in the |
| 56s | description so on the topic of the |
| 58s | update the first thing I want to talk |
| 60s | about is the situation with the new |
| 62s | build pieces we had to pull from the |
| 64s | update so that's the half foundations |
| 66s | the Tilted concave walls and the roofer |
| 68s | corner pieces if you don't know what I'm |
| 70s | talking about uh right before the launch |
| 72s | of update 6 we released some of these |
| 74s | new buildables on the experimental |
| 75s | Branch however we run into a couple of |
| 77s | problems with these build pieces that we |
| 80s | didn't realize until they were live |
| 81s | there were some issues with snapping and |
| 83s | building and if you change the materials |
| 84s | on them they would shift around so yeah |
| 87s | we couldn't fix these up in time before |
| 89s | the launch so we decided to pull them |
| 91s | from the Early Access release until we |
| 92s | had time to fix them and release them a |
| 94s | bit later well we're we're now here |
| 98s | today uh and we've essentially done that |
| 100s | so as of patch |
| 102s | 0.6.1.2 these new build pieces are now |
| 105s | available along with everything else in |
| 107s | update 6. we're still working on fixing |
| 109s | some of the major issues so some folks |
| 111s | have run into but for the most part the |
| 113s | build is quite stable and we've started |
| 116s | moving forward with development of the |
| 118s | game so yeah due to the nature of Early |
| 120s | Access we can't make the game completely |
| 122s | bug free after each update release as |
| 125s | they would slow down the general |
| 126s | development of the game but like I said |
| 128s | we're still working on fixing some of |
| 129s | the major bugs so don't worry if we if |
| 132s | you feel like we've forgotten about you |
| 133s | we're still here right but the vast |
| 135s | majority of crashes that we've noticed |
| 137s | are due to mods so if you have mods |
| 139s | installed and you're running into a |
| 141s | crash please try to either update the |
| 143s | mods you're using or uninstall mods via |
| 145s | the community provided mod manager and |
| 148s | see if that resolves your issue when it |
| 150s | comes to any issues with the game and |
| 151s | mods there really isn't anything we can |
| 153s | do as mods aren't officially supported |
| 155s | by the game it's also important to note |
| 158s | that just deleting files for mods |
| 160s | doesn't necessarily result in a proper |
| 161s | uninstall and you know if mods are still |
| 164s | injected if you see this little line in |
| 167s | the crash reporter this indicates that |
| 169s | mods are still being injected it's |
| 171s | likely that they're the culprit I'm not |
| 174s | saying that you know we screw don't |
| 176s | screw up I mean we screw up all the time |
| 177s | so even if you have mods installed you |
| 180s | can still you know get a crash for some |
| 181s | reason but it's important to rule out |
| 183s | whether a crash is caused by a mod or |
| 185s | not so that's kind of the point of that |
| 186s | I just want to say also real quick uh |
| 188s | that there's like no shade intended to |
| 190s | the modding Community they're doing |
| 191s | awesome stuff and we're so thrilled to |
| 193s | see what they're making for the game uh |
| 195s | so much love for that but typically |
| 197s | after an update release mods tend to |
| 200s | break which leads to crashes so just be |
| 203s | aware of that okay if you are running |
| 205s | into a crash all you really need to do |
| 207s | is hit hit the send report button along |
| 209s | with maybe writing like a little |
| 210s | description of what you were doing in |
| 212s | the crash occurred this really helps us |
| 214s | out when we're looking at the call stack |
| 215s | and you know can't make out what might |
| 217s | have cost a crash for any other issues |
| 220s | or feedback you might have about the |
| 222s | game then the best place is to go to our |
| 224s | QA side |
| 225s | questions.satisfactorygame.com and check |
| 227s | if somebody has already made a ticket |
| 228s | for whatever feedback you might have and |
| 230s | upvote that or if not then create your |
| 233s | own post you know |
| 234s | there are a lot of people posting on the |
| 237s | QA side and while we're not able to |
| 239s | respond to everyone we do read |
| 241s | everything if you're reporting an issue |
| 243s | please provide as detailed information |
| 245s | as possible so we can reproduce the |
| 247s | issue that you're having and if you |
| 249s | believe an issue is specific to your |
| 251s | save file then it would really help us |
| 253s | out if you could upload it to a hosting |
| 254s | site like like Google drive or something |
| 256s | like that and Link it in the ticket so |
| 258s | we have an easier time reproducing the |
| 260s | issue and if you are running into a |
| 262s | crash and the crash report it doesn't |
| 263s | pop up well the game just freezes or you |
| 265s | know goes straight to desktop then |
| 267s | please report that in a QA site and |
| 269s | include your log file in the session if |
| 271s | you don't know where your log files or |
| 272s | your save files are stored in your |
| 274s | computer I will include the directories |
| 276s | in the description and yeah this is |
| 278s | really important because if you just go |
| 280s | to the QI side and say you know like oh |
| 281s | my game Crash then you know we don't |
| 283s | really have anything to go on and we |
| 285s | can't really do anything about it for |
| 286s | some crashes there are workarounds that |
| 288s | are known within the community as well |
| 289s | so yeah please try to be specific so |
| 292s | while we're on the topic of bugs by the |
| 294s | way one question that I get very often |
| 296s | that I kind of want to bring up in this |
| 297s | video is the question like why haven't |
| 299s | you fixed this issue yet or people |
| 301s | saying you know like the game's been out |
| 303s | for so long and they still haven't fixed |
| 305s | this particular thing can't be that hard |
| 307s | right like they must be incompetent and |
| 310s | let's be honest here like I'm not |
| 311s | playing that that up that is definitely |
| 313s | how some people choose to phrase it and |
| 315s | it's a very broad question you know it |
| 317s | might vary a little bit from case to |
| 318s | case but for the most part the main |
| 319s | reason why something or another hasn't |
| 322s | been fixed is because we just haven't |
| 323s | got a round to it yet satisfactory is a |
| 326s | massive game and they're almost endless |
| 328s | things to work on for this game and |
| 330s | while we do want to fix bugs we also |
| 332s | need to move forward with development if |
| 334s | we're ever going to finish it so it's |
| 337s | not always possible for us to like |
| 338s | switch to maintenance mode for a long |
| 340s | time uh because it will delay the |
| 342s | general development of the game and a |
| 344s | lot of fixes would likely break again |
| 345s | down the line anyway as we're working on |
| 348s | making it feature complete so that is |
| 350s | sort of like the unfortunate |
| 352s | double-edged sword of you know early |
| 353s | access titles we try to make updates as |
| 357s | stable and good as we can while we're |
| 359s | actively working on them and we do set |
| 361s | aside a substantial chunk of time to fix |
| 363s | up stuff people have been asking about |
| 365s | but we also sort of need to move on |
| 367s | which is a great segue into what I'm |
| 370s | about to talk about which is what we're |
| 372s | doing next essentially |
| 373s | so in last week's release stream I |
| 376s | mentioned that we are doing another |
| 377s | update to the game that we're calling |
| 379s | Update 7 for now uh this is going to be |
| 382s | another small update uh in fact it's |
| 384s | gonna be even smaller than this update |
| 387s | uh we haven't fully decided yet exactly |
| 389s | what we'll go into this update but |
| 391s | mostly it's going to contain some |
| 393s | wrap-up of work we've been doing |
| 394s | alongside update 6 as well as the stuff |
| 397s | we couldn't finish in update six so for |
| 399s | instance the rest of the creature |
| 401s | changes we wanted to do will most likely |
| 403s | be part of update 7. there'll also be |
| 406s | some new things as well but we'll talk |
| 410s | about that in another video |
| 414s | please remember that as of update 6 |
| 417s | we've decided to shift focus of |
| 418s | development for the game to reach 1.0 |
| 421s | and we're making decisions around what |
| 423s | and when we release new content to suit |
| 425s | that so while we've been working in |
| 427s | update 6 and this next update we've also |
| 429s | been working on other things in parallel |
| 431s | that is content we expect to go into the |
| 433s | final release of the game that will take |
| 434s | longer to finish than what we usually |
| 436s | have in between updates so yeah just |
| 438s | just bear that in mind we've been doing |
| 440s | other stuff than just a working update |
| 442s | six and seven so yeah not too much to |
| 444s | talk about yet unfortunately but expect |
| 447s | some more news regarding Update 7 soon |
| 449s | but that's gonna be it for me for now I |
| 452s | hope you have fun with update six uh |
| 454s | don't forget that we stream every |
| 456s | Tuesday at 4pm CSD so if there's |
| 458s | anything that wasn't clear here in this |
| 460s | video please join in then if you can and |
| 462s | I'll I'll be happy to elaborate if |
| 464s | there's anything you want or just post a |
| 466s | comment or something and see if I can |
| 467s | respond to it uh but yeah before I head |
| 469s | out though I just want to really quickly |
