| 1s | hey everyone my name is Jason I'm a |
| 3s | community manager at coffee stain |
| 5s | Studios and update 8 is out now on |
| 7s | experimental thank you everyone who |
| 9s | joined for the stream on Tuesday it was |
| 11s | really really fun and it's been super |
| 13s | cool seeing people playing update 8 |
| 15s | finally getting out to you guys on the |
| 17s | experimental branch and now while the |
| 19s | launch was you know relatively smooth |
| 20s | there are some bugs that have been |
| 21s | reported as well as FPS issues that |
| 23s | people have been talking about as well |
| 25s | we are running into some of this stuff |
| 26s | and we are checking the QA site uh but |
| 28s | today what I want to talk about is just |
| 30s | some of the things that we've seen and |
| 31s | also provide some troubleshooting tips |
| 33s | for like yes we are looking at like the |
| 35s | things that you've reported when we're |
| 36s | investigating certain things but also |
| 38s | there's some things that you can try as |
| 39s | well and then in doing those things |
| 41s | you'll actually be helping us as well so |
| 43s | it's a symbiotic relationship here we're |
| 45s | working together team okay so hopefully |
| 48s | that'll be helpful and also at the end |
| 49s | of the video I'm going to be talking |
| 50s | about the updated Hardware requirements |
| 52s | we talked about that back in the Unreal |
| 54s | Engine 5 video a few weeks back |
| 56s | um it's the same but we're going to |
| 58s | expand on a little bit more so hopefully |
| 60s | that the requirement let's make a little |
| 61s | bit more sense or more meaningful and |
| 63s | set expectations correctly okay so if |
| 65s | you're interested in that stay to the |
| 66s | end of the video and we'll talk about |
| 67s | that then but quickly two things first |
| 69s | thing Wiki all right we got a new Wiki |
| 72s | satisfactory.wiki.gg so the people |
| 74s | who've been contributing to our Wiki and |
| 75s | making it as amazing as it was before |
| 77s | wants to move to a different platform |
| 79s | and we're just supporting them and doing |
| 80s | that okay so if you want all your Wiki |
| 82s | stuff and new update information and |
| 84s | things like that go to |
| 86s | satisfactory.wiki.gg and check out the |
| 88s | new Wiki hopefully you like it second |
| 90s | thing back up your saves okay moving on |
| 92s | so first things first you might be |
| 93s | wondering maybe you're new here you're |
| 94s | like what the hell is experimental okay |
| 95s | what is experimental Branch the |
| 97s | experimental branch is our pre-release |
| 99s | branch and that's why we release any of |
| 101s | our major changes or even not so major |
| 102s | changes first so that people who uh you |
| 105s | know are dare to fly close to the Sun uh |
| 108s | can can play the features early and test |
| 110s | things out give us feedback we can fix |
| 112s | things stabilize things and then we move |
| 114s | things over to the Early Access branch |
| 115s | and now everyone uh who owns |
| 117s | satisfactory has access to the |
| 119s | experimental Branch whether you're on |
| 120s | Epic or run Steam in Epic it's |
| 122s | accessible by simply just going to your |
| 124s | library and you'll have two versions of |
| 126s | satisfactory one will be satisfactory |
| 127s | Early Access and one will be |
| 129s | satisfactory experimental install and |
| 131s | play the experimental version and you're |
| 132s | on experimental on Steam you need to |
| 134s | find satisfactory in your library right |
| 136s | click on it go to properties go to betas |
| 138s | and then there'll be a drop down box and |
| 139s | from the drop down box you'll be able to |
| 140s | choose experimental and that's how you |
| 142s | opt into experimental switch it back to |
| 144s | the empty line to go back to the normal |
| 146s | version satisfactory but most |
| 148s | importantly is that you should back up |
| 149s | your saves because saves are not |
| 150s | compatible from like a newer version of |
| 152s | the game going back so if you run into |
| 153s | any issues and you want to revert back |
| 155s | you may not be able to load your saves |
| 157s | in the old version right in the Early |
| 158s | Access version of the game not only that |
| 161s | but sometimes Cloud saves do strange |
| 162s | things that no one can ever predict so |
| 164s | back up your saves whenever you mess |
| 165s | around with this stuff in the |
| 166s | description below there'll be a path to |
| 167s | where the save files are okay but |
| 169s | experimental as it says on the tin is |
| 171s | indeed experimental you know and |
| 173s | oftentimes there are some growing pains |
| 174s | when it comes to playing on the |
| 176s | experimental branch and this is no |
| 179s | different this week right there |
| 180s | absolutely been some issues that people |
| 182s | have run into and that they have |
| 185s | reported on our QA site QA site is |
| 186s | questions not satisfactory income.com |
| 188s | and you can let us know any bugs or |
| 191s | feedback that you have you can you can |
| 192s | put it there and just bear in mind that |
| 194s | like I'm actually recording this on |
| 195s | Thursday so you're watching this on |
| 196s | Friday this is recorded a day early and |
| 198s | whilst the team is constantly checking |
| 200s | the QA site and we're checking socials |
| 202s | and things like that as well to get an |
| 203s | understanding of like what kind of |
| 205s | experience people are having with update |
| 206s | 8. um anything could have changed |
| 208s | between |
| 209s | yesterday which is today for me Thursday |
| 211s | and Friday okay so I'm you know |
| 213s | everything I'm talking about here is |
| 215s | relevant to Thursday all right so let's |
| 217s | talk about some of the bugs that you |
| 218s | guys have reported uh |
| 219s | train tracks uh are rotated train tracks |
| 222s | that have been built with blueprints |
| 223s | that have just rotated for some random |
| 225s | reason |
| 225s | um this is a purely graphical bug they |
| 227s | actually continue to function normally |
| 229s | and uh I don't think this has been |
| 231s | patched in yet but the team will fix it |
| 233s | another bug that people have been |
| 234s | talking about have been uh the inability |
| 236s | to slide underneath belts specifically |
| 238s | Mark three four and five belts this has |
| 240s | actually been we put a patch out last |
| 242s | night actually and I believe this was |
| 244s | fixed in that patch so anyone playing as |
| 246s | of today Thursday the patch went out |
| 248s | Wednesday night |
| 249s | um this should not be a problem anymore |
| 251s | we also had people reporting missing |
| 252s | water graphically the water was missing |
| 254s | you can still swim but you couldn't see |
| 255s | the water that has also been fixed and |
| 257s | patched with last night's fix apparently |
| 259s | uh allegedly let us know uh also some |
| 262s | Collision issues in the southern Forest |
| 264s | I think with trees they had like massive |
| 266s | Collision boxes on them uh I believe |
| 267s | that has also been patched as well |
| 269s | another issue people have been reporting |
| 270s | have been let fart rocks after you |
| 272s | destroy them their gas clouds remain |
| 274s | it's like well what's the point of |
| 275s | destroying them then uh well this bug uh |
| 277s | doesn't happen for all the fart rocks it |
| 279s | happens to some of them and also that |
| 281s | gas cloud is just a visual bug so the |
| 283s | gas is visually there but you can walk |
| 285s | through it safely and uh functionally |
| 287s | within the game it's not there but we'll |
| 289s | be looking into it and there are |
| 290s | absolutely more things too I just want |
| 291s | to let you guys know that we are |
| 292s | checking the the website and the QA site |
| 295s | and uh people are working really hard to |
| 297s | fix what they can and um and then as |
| 299s | I've mentioned earlier before as well uh |
| 301s | we're gonna be patching over the next |
| 302s | couple weeks as we can but then we have |
| 304s | a vacation period so there'll be a |
| 306s | period where there'll be like no patches |
| 307s | for a while but then after that we'll |
| 309s | continue patching again so if you see |
| 311s | that nothing's been done for a few weeks |
| 314s | even though there are bugs in the game |
| 315s | it's just because it's the vacation |
| 316s | period and we will be picking it up |
| 318s | again immediately afterwards okay keep |
| 320s | your bug reports coming in and we'll go |
| 322s | we'll go through it afterwards okay now |
| 324s | there are two other issues that I |
| 325s | actually want to focus on Focus this |
| 326s | video on today because I think it's I |
| 329s | can do the most to help people in this |
| 330s | video when it comes to these two issues |
| 332s | here and those are poor FPS or |
| 334s | stuttering um constant stuttering when |
| 336s | playing the game and then also a |
| 338s | graphics card related crash and the one |
| 340s | that I'm talking about specifically is a |
| 342s | d3dutil.cpp |
| 345s | um |
| 346s | currentcube.device get device get device |
| 348s | removed reason uh that is in the error |
| 350s | message that if you get this crash |
| 352s | you'll get the crash reporter and you'll |
| 353s | see that |
| 354s | um so first of all let's talk about the |
| 356s | graphics card real quick uh first of all |
| 357s | from what we can see from our |
| 359s | information uh |
| 360s | um in in the back end from the crash |
| 362s | reports that you guys send in uh is that |
| 364s | this this crash tends to only affect or |
| 368s | seems to mostly affect uh higher end |
| 370s | cards we're talking a lot of 30 70s 30 |
| 373s | 80s uh 38 tis 3080 on laptops 30 90 tis |
| 377s | and RX 6700s and the tricky thing with |
| 380s | this is |
| 381s | uh this is something that we can't |
| 383s | really do too much about at the moment |
| 385s | maybe driver updates in the future will |
| 387s | help maybe there's more things we can do |
| 389s | that and we're investigating the team |
| 392s | does have some ideas of some things but |
| 393s | for the moment I don't think there's |
| 395s | anything we can do immediately uh to |
| 398s | solve this issue and it is happening |
| 399s | happening fairly common to people who |
| 401s | have these cards unfortunately however |
| 403s | there are some things that you can do |
| 405s | and so I'm going to let you guys know so |
| 406s | you can do what you can and |
| 408s | hopefully it helps if it doesn't help |
| 410s | let us know in the QA site uh the first |
| 411s | thing is update your drivers we're using |
| 413s | general Engine 5 now this is like |
| 414s | Cutting Edge stuff so it's really |
| 416s | important that whatever graphics card |
| 418s | that you're using you are running the |
| 419s | most up-to-date Drive is that you can |
| 420s | get |
| 422s | um it's very important and it makes a |
| 423s | really really big difference and that is |
| 425s | the first step if you're having these |
| 426s | issues check your drivers make sure |
| 428s | they're up to date another thing you can |
| 429s | do is if you're using an Nvidia card you |
| 432s | can try switching to the studio ready |
| 433s | drivers instead of the game ready |
| 436s | drivers and we've actually seen that the |
| 438s | studio ready drivers for whatever reason |
| 440s | seem to not have this crash |
| 443s | uh or as often so you could try that as |
| 445s | well if you try it and you still get it |
| 447s | let us know on the QA side we would love |
| 449s | that information well we would prefer |
| 451s | you let us know that it works but if it |
| 453s | doesn't work please let us know so we |
| 454s | can so we know another thing you can try |
| 456s | and do is switch to the Vulcan Graphics |
| 457s | API so by default the game runs on the |
| 460s | DirectX 12 Graphics API but we also |
| 462s | support Vulcan so you can try and switch |
| 463s | to that but please note that if you |
| 465s | switch graphics apis and the game |
| 467s | crashes and then the game no longer |
| 470s | starts up because it tries to load the |
| 472s | graphics API that it can't support and |
| 473s | it keeps crashing there are solutions |
| 475s | for this and the two solutions are that |
| 477s | you find your game user settings dot ini |
| 480s | file and you delete it I'll put a |
| 482s | location for that file in the |
| 483s | description below and when you do that |
| 485s | the next time you start the game the |
| 486s | game will restart with default game user |
| 489s | settings basically including reverting |
| 492s | back to DirectX 12 and then you should |
| 494s | be able to start the game up another way |
| 495s | you can do this is you can actually |
| 496s | Force Graphics apis using launch |
| 498s | commands it's dash dx12 for DirectX 12. |
| 501s | it's Dash Vulcan for Vulcan and dash uh |
| 504s | dx11 for DirectX 11 uh but we're |
| 506s | deprecating dartx 11. it is technically |
| 508s | supported I'll talk about that a little |
| 510s | bit later and if you don't know how to |
| 511s | use launch commands more information |
| 512s | down below how to do that another thing |
| 514s | that we've noticed with this crash is |
| 515s | that uh sometimes if you have a stock |
| 517s | overclocked uh GPU uh then actually |
| 520s | disabling the stock overclocking can |
| 522s | help as well so if you have that |
| 524s | consider trying that uh and seeing if it |
| 526s | helps and if it does or doesn't let us |
| 528s | know the next major thing I wanted to |
| 529s | talk about is the low FPS that some |
| 531s | people are getting as well as the |
| 532s | constant stuttering that some people are |
| 533s | getting in the game and it is clear |
| 535s | based on the feedback that we've gotten |
| 536s | from people that there are some people |
| 538s | out there who are getting a lot of |
| 540s | negative effects when it comes to their |
| 542s | performance with update 8 compared to |
| 544s | update seven |
| 545s | um so what I want to do is I want to |
| 546s | talk a little bit about various video |
| 548s | settings and some solutions that you |
| 549s | might be able to do to mitigate some of |
| 552s | these issues and one so that you're more |
| 554s | aware of what options you have and what |
| 556s | you can tweak so that you can hopefully |
| 558s | get the performance that you want but |
| 560s | also number two is so that when you guys |
| 562s | let us know that you're having having |
| 563s | FPS issues it'd be great super good if |
| 567s | you can include information about like |
| 568s | what settings you have now maybe if you |
| 571s | can test again on Update 7 on the Early |
| 573s | Access Branch tell us like what settings |
| 575s | did you use there what settings did you |
| 577s | use in update 8 what different you know |
| 579s | are there any differences between those |
| 580s | settings and how that affects your your |
| 582s | FPS and the reason why this information |
| 584s | is super super |
| 585s | um useful for us is that like some |
| 588s | people are saying that they get less FPS |
| 590s | but we're not sure if your settings are |
| 592s | actually the same and this is made more |
| 595s | confusing because uh some people say |
| 597s | well I played on Ultra on Update 7 and |
| 600s | I'm playing on Ultra on update 8 and I'm |
| 601s | getting half the FPS right so it's the |
| 604s | same settings but it's not actually the |
| 605s | same settings because in update 8 there |
| 607s | are new video settings and Technologies |
| 609s | in and actually when you use ultra the |
| 612s | ultra quality preset that automatically |
| 614s | turns on TSR which is an anti-aliasing |
| 616s | technology |
| 618s | um which is like a noteworthy load on |
| 620s | your on your hardware and so if you have |
| 622s | TSR on on on update 8 and not on Update |
| 624s | 7 they're not Apples to Apples |
| 626s | comparisons so this makes it really |
| 628s | tricky for us to understand okay wait |
| 629s | people are getting less FPS but is it |
| 632s | because of everything or is it because |
| 634s | of some differences in their settings so |
| 636s | if you guys could please check really |
| 638s | closely what settings you use when you |
| 639s | give us this feedback it will help us |
| 641s | tremendously not only that we also have |
| 643s | the global illumination or Lumen as it's |
| 645s | called option in the game as well and |
| 648s | this is something that we know that some |
| 649s | people have turned on and got less |
| 650s | performance and are like hey what's |
| 652s | going on what's going on no performance |
| 654s | with that Lumen but the thing is with |
| 656s | Lumen is this is actually a setting that |
| 658s | we have said multiple times before that |
| 660s | we are not officially supporting we're |
| 661s | having it in the game so people can just |
| 663s | turn it on and play around with it maybe |
| 665s | take some screenshots or if it works for |
| 667s | you then you can play with it right but |
| 669s | we're not gonna We're Not Gonna optimize |
| 671s | for it and we're not gonna tune our |
| 672s | Lighting in the game uh for it basically |
| 675s | this is something that we're not |
| 676s | committing to but we just want to leave |
| 677s | it in the game so that you guys can just |
| 679s | play around with it having said that |
| 680s | though this information is not clear in |
| 682s | the game or wasn't in the game clear in |
| 685s | the game as of recording this video but |
| 688s | I believe that this will be updated a |
| 689s | little bit so that it's more clear that |
| 692s | um |
| 693s | that it's you know an experimental thing |
| 694s | or that we're not committing to it or |
| 696s | you're going to get low performance |
| 697s | basically uh another thing that we've |
| 699s | done is we've stripped out the Cinematic |
| 700s | quality setting for uh Global |
| 702s | illumination as well and the reason for |
| 704s | this is essentially that the quality |
| 706s | game from the highest setting previously |
| 708s | to cinematic is actually negligible but |
| 711s | the |
| 712s | um the load on the the hardware is |
| 715s | tremendous and for some people it's so |
| 718s | tremendous that it's like the menu slows |
| 720s | down so much that it's hard to turn off |
| 722s | and we think that that's just not good |
| 725s | for anyone we're just gonna get rid of |
| 727s | it for now okay okay so let's talk about |
| 728s | specific issues and specific |
| 730s | troubleshooting things you can do I'm I |
| 732s | may be repeating some things that I've |
| 733s | said before but I I want this all in one |
| 736s | one chunk if we can Okay so let's just |
| 738s | go over the troubleshooting things just |
| 739s | things you can try a little checklist if |
| 741s | you will okay if you're having issues |
| 742s | run through this part of the video okay |
| 744s | the first thing update your graphics |
| 746s | drivers make sure that is up to date |
| 748s | it's really important okay second thing |
| 750s | make sure you verify your game files |
| 752s | okay and you can do this on Epic or on |
| 754s | Steam and this basically is a process |
| 755s | that makes sure that the files that were |
| 756s | downloaded are indeed correct and |
| 758s | there's no corrupt files or anything |
| 759s | like that on Epic you just find the game |
| 761s | in your in your library there's three |
| 762s | dots underneath the banner or the |
| 764s | whatever the uh icon of the game and |
| 767s | then you can choose verify and on Steam |
| 769s | you can right click on the game in your |
| 770s | library go to properties go to local |
| 772s | files and then click verify Integrity of |
| 774s | game files so make sure you verify your |
| 775s | your game files the next thing if you're |
| 777s | getting low FPS |
| 779s | um is to disable TSR anti-aliasing and |
| 782s | use FXAA or TAA instead so pre |
| 785s | previously in Update 7 we only used TAA |
| 787s | in Update 7 but now we've added FXAA |
| 790s | which is a more efficient anti-aliasing |
| 792s | and TSR which is uh I mean it is and it |
| 796s | isn't it's a double-edged sword okay so |
| 797s | for some people it's it's gonna it's |
| 799s | gonna tank your your your stuff your |
| 801s | your FPS but for other people it |
| 802s | actually may be beneficial okay so if |
| 805s | you're um having low FPS and you're on |
| 807s | TSR anti-alicing try and turn it off try |
| 809s | to switch to the other ones and see if |
| 810s | you get anything better especially |
| 812s | especially if you're finding yourself |
| 813s | getting stuck at 2fps and the game does |
| 816s | not recover until you restart the game |
| 818s | this is usually from a vram you're |
| 821s | running out of vram and then like the |
| 822s | game right now |
| 824s | cannot recover from that for whatever |
| 826s | reason something we can look into |
| 828s | um but if that's happening if you're |
| 830s | running out of vram and you can check if |
| 831s | you're running out of vram by checking |
| 832s | your task manager and checking your GPU |
| 835s | um then I would highly recommend making |
| 837s | sure that TSR and Global elimination are |
| 839s | off just to make sure that like you're |
| 841s | giving yourself your your GPU as much |
| 843s | vram to work with as possible another |
| 845s | thing you can do to make sure that you |
| 846s | give your GPU as much vrm as possible is |
| 848s | to check to see if you have any other |
| 850s | applications open that might be taking |
| 851s | some vram because Unreal Engine 5 is so |
| 854s | vram sort of like heavy and really sort |
| 856s | of requires it any sort of like extra |
| 858s | amount that you can free up while |
| 859s | playing satisfactory will go a long way |
| 861s | for you but of course we're going to be |
| 862s | looking into what we can do as well to |
| 864s | optimize that and make that better as |
| 866s | well but there's there's some stuff you |
| 867s | can do too next thing is that if you do |
| 869s | want to use TSR anti-aliasing try and |
| 871s | run it in performance mode which is a 60 |
| 873s | screen size so it it's just like an |
| 875s | upscaling thing right so if you set it |
| 877s | to 60 60 screen size this will be a more |
| 880s | performant version of it and that might |
| 882s | work a little better and then also So |
| 884s | currently at the time of recording or |
| 886s | this might have been updated actually we |
| 888s | previously had an insanity preset for |
| 890s | TSR which is essentially just the entire |
| 892s | thing and no upscaling |
| 894s | um and this is this really really |
| 895s | reduces performance we've changed I |
| 897s | think we've I think we've changed the |
| 898s | wording now |
| 900s | um so that it doesn't say Insanity |
| 901s | anymore because some people were |
| 902s | confused like does Insanity mean like |
| 904s | insane performance gains or is it insane |
| 906s | quality and low performance and we've |
| 908s | made that a little bit clearer now as |
| 910s | well so the next thing you do is you can |
| 911s | turn off Global illumination or Lumen |
| 913s | it's Global illumination uh in in the |
| 915s | video settings and this is off by |
| 917s | default but maybe you've turned it on |
| 918s | not only that there are quality settings |
| 920s | so you can try and just reduce the |
| 921s | quality and maybe that'll help or you |
| 923s | can just turn it off entirely to make |
| 925s | sure |
| 925s | um you know you're you're running as |
| 927s | lean as you can and then as I said |
| 929s | earlier it's important to note that |
| 930s | we're not officially supporting Lumen |
| 932s | okay we're just in the game for you to |
| 933s | play around with but we we will not |
| 935s | we're not committing to making it |
| 936s | performant and we're not committing to |
| 938s | tweaking the lighting of the game to |
| 940s | make sure everything looks good in Lumen |
| 942s | it's just there to have fun with if you |
| 943s | can run it the next thing you can do is |
| 944s | just switch the lower video presets in |
| 946s | general we have some like quality |
| 948s | presets for you know shadows and all |
| 950s | that kind of stuff and you can always |
| 952s | just try lower those you can also custom |
| 954s | tweak things and test stuff to see like |
| 956s | well maybe there's a specific thing that |
| 958s | if you turn that up you see a big hit |
| 960s | then you know it's like oh maybe it's |
| 961s | just the Shadows that are you know |
| 962s | screwing with me a little bit so you can |
| 964s | always you know tweak your video |
| 965s | settings as well not only that we've |
| 967s | added the foliage loading distance in |
| 969s | there as well so you've got a little bit |
| 970s | more tweakability here |
| 972s | um to try and find the the best |
| 973s | performance for you if you're running |
| 974s | into any d3d 12 crashes |
| 977s | um important things to try there is |
| 978s | update your graphics card drivers but |
| 980s | also you can try and consider running |
| 982s | Vulcan instead of DirectX 12 you can |
| 984s | either switch that in the video options |
| 985s | menu or you can force them using launch |
| 987s | commands which is dash dx12 for DirectX |
| 989s | 12 and dash Vulcan for Vulcan the launch |
| 991s | commands are also helpful to know in |
| 993s | case uh your game is crashing when |
| 995s | switching these apis and no longer opens |
| 998s | because you're on an unsupported one so |
| 999s | you can use these launch commands to get |
| 1001s | around that as an absolute Last Resort |
| 1002s | if nothing else has worked working |
| 1004s | you're still getting low performance you |
| 1005s | can also still try and use DirectX 11. |
| 1008s | now we're deprecating DirectX 11 you can |
| 1009s | no longer choose it from the video |
| 1011s | options menu but it is still technically |
| 1013s | supported and the way you can access |
| 1014s | DirectX 11 is by using the dash dx11 |
| 1018s | launch command okay so you can still do |
| 1020s | that and when using DirectX 11 it will |
| 1022s | hard dis disable things like nanite and |
| 1024s | Lumen |
| 1025s | um which you know those things sort of |
| 1027s | eat into your your vram however because |
| 1029s | we're not really you know we're sort of |
| 1031s | deprecating DirectX 11 we're not really |
| 1032s | supporting it completely anymore we |
| 1034s | can't really promise decent performance |
| 1036s | or quality in general but if you've |
| 1038s | tried everything else this is a decent |
| 1040s | Last Resort you can just try out and see |
| 1041s | if it helps you okay so those are the |
| 1043s | troubleshooting things that I wanted to |
| 1044s | talk about one other thing that some |
| 1045s | people may have spotted is that there's |
| 1046s | actually a run Hardware Benchmark |
| 1048s | feature in the video options menu and |
| 1051s | the purpose of this is that you can run |
| 1052s | a benchmark it'll check your your |
| 1054s | hardware and then it'll like set the |
| 1056s | settings to something that makes sense |
| 1057s | for your Hardware so that you should get |
| 1059s | good performance however right now as it |
| 1061s | is that is actually not done and doesn't |
| 1063s | really yield any sort of meaningful |
| 1065s | results right now but the goal is to |
| 1066s | have that actually functioning correctly |
| 1068s | so that you know if you're not really |
| 1069s | sure what you should do with your |
| 1070s | settings you'll be able to just run the |
| 1072s | Benchmark and you'll hopefully be |
| 1074s | getting some settings that make some |
| 1075s | sense for your hardware and so lastly |
| 1076s | what I want to talk about here today is |
| 1078s | going to be the updated Hardware |
| 1079s | requirements as I said earlier we've |
| 1081s | talked about this in previous videos |
| 1082s | before that we're changing the minimum |
| 1085s | spec Hardware requirements and the one |
| 1087s | thing that I want to talk about |
| 1088s | specifically is the GPU we are upping |
| 1091s | the GPU from the GTX 770 and what we |
| 1094s | said in the previous video was to the |
| 1095s | GTX 1650 now I think this set some |
| 1099s | incorrect expectations when we said this |
| 1102s | um and I think it's I think largely |
| 1104s | because first of all one it is a better |
| 1106s | GPU the new minimum so that's |
| 1109s | true and that's fair and so I can |
| 1111s | understand that if some people aren't |
| 1112s | really happy with that minimum going up |
| 1113s | right uh having said that though the |
| 1116s | jump from like 770 to 1650 in version |
| 1118s | numbers sounds really really huge |
| 1120s | however the 1650 is not a super |
| 1122s | performant or high-end card uh and it's |
| 1124s | actually not that much better than the |
| 1126s | 770 and so what we want to do is um sort |
| 1129s | of like have some newly defined |
| 1131s | requirements here which should hopefully |
| 1133s | set the correct expectations and |
| 1135s | you can let us know if you are happy |
| 1137s | with those expectations or not but at |
| 1138s | least we're more correctly defining uh |
| 1141s | what it is you kind of need in order to |
| 1143s | run a satisfactory moving forward so the |
| 1145s | newly defined requirements are as |
| 1146s | follows uh NVIDIA GTX 1650 or GTX 1050 |
| 1150s | TI or AMD rx470 or RX 570 or some |
| 1155s | equivalent uh GPU with you know with |
| 1158s | with equivalent performance and vram I |
| 1160s | know it just rolls off the tongue so |
| 1162s | just to give a rough idea of what that |
| 1163s | means is according to some benchmarks |
| 1165s | that we found online and so you can do |
| 1167s | with that what you will but the 1650 is |
| 1169s | about 25 |
| 1171s | um better or more performant than the |
| 1173s | GTX 770 which is the pre-update 8 |
| 1176s | minimum requirement and the RX 470 is 16 |
| 1179s | better and the 1050 TI is actually 16 |
| 1182s | less performant but it has more vram and |
| 1186s | again as we've talked about in this |
| 1187s | video vrm is the thing that you need uh |
| 1190s | for the game at this point |
| 1193s | um so that's why the 1050 TI should |
| 1195s | probably also be okay and one thing to |
| 1197s | mention I think here is also like it was |
| 1199s | kind of tricky like well what is the |
| 1200s | minimum requirements supposed to be do |
| 1202s | you need like these Hardware or else the |
| 1204s | game doesn't run at all and that's not |
| 1206s | really sort of like what we might mean |
| 1208s | by minimum because we've seen people |
| 1209s | play with integrated cards before when |
| 1212s | like our minimum spec was a dedicated |
| 1214s | card |
| 1215s | um but the thing is their results vary |
| 1217s | wildly from not being able to play at |
| 1219s | all or you know abysmal FPS it's the |
| 1221s | same kind of thing here |
| 1222s | um what are minimum specifications sort |
| 1225s | of like aim for is the minimum required |
| 1228s | specifications to be able to play |
| 1229s | satisfactory like meaningfully whatever |
| 1231s | that means okay not like the bare |
| 1234s | minimum to get it to launch we think |
| 1235s | that's not really fair to to specify |
| 1237s | that as minimum okay so that's what that |
| 1239s | sort of means yeah and so the main thing |
| 1240s | that was lacking in our pre-update 8 |
| 1242s | requirements was the vram that was |
| 1243s | previously at two gigabytes and so |
| 1245s | that's like the major thing that we're |
| 1248s | upping the minimum specs for okay now |
| 1250s | having said that we do intend on |
| 1252s | optimize things moving forward so we're |
| 1253s | not like done working on that we do want |
| 1255s | to make it better we do want to like |
| 1257s | make the game use less vram so that's |
| 1259s | still a process that we're we're working |
| 1261s | on as well but um yeah anyway hopefully |
| 1263s | these new leads sort of like expanded |
| 1265s | upon uh Hardware requirements help help |
| 1269s | set expectations a little bit better for |
| 1270s | you so that's all that I wanted to talk |
| 1271s | about today thank you very much for |
| 1272s | watching and of course keep coming with |
| 1274s | the um bug post and feedback on the QA |
| 1276s | site questions on satisfactorygame.com |
| 1279s | keep letting us know what's going on the |
| 1281s | team is still reading and we're still |
| 1282s | patching and doing what we can okay |
| 1283s | thank you all so much for watching the |
| 1285s | video hope you found it helpful if you |
| 1287s | did leave a like and take care have a |
| 1289s | lovely weekend bye everyone |
| 1290s | [Music] |
| 1298s | had to pause for a second there because |
| 1300s | usually I'm like I'll see you next time |
| 1301s | but |
| 1304s | maybe I won't I think this might be my |
| 1306s | last Friday video so if you made it to |
| 1307s | the end here the post credits Marvel |
| 1309s | ending just want to say bye and thanks |
| 1311s | I'll miss you take care you're in good |
| 1314s | hands everything's gonna be fine take |
| 1315s | care bye okay abominos |
