| 2s | hi everyone my name is snot I'm the |
|---|---|
| 4s | community manager at coffee stain |
| 5s | Studios and if you didn't hear the news |
| 8s | last week we released update eight on |
| 10s | the Early Access Branch whoopy freaking |
| 12s | do all right it's finally out and if you |
| 16s | haven't seen the patch this video you |
| 17s | can check it out here in the cart and uh |
| 20s | yeah in this video though we're going to |
| 22s | be talking about some good old post |
| 24s | update 8 info we'll be talking about |
| 26s | some of the known issues that we have |
| 27s | still in update 8 um we'll be talking |
| 30s | about the upcoming patch that's coming |
| 32s | up next week on |
| 33s | experimental um I'll also be addressing |
| 36s | the state of fixas because I know you |
| 38s | guys have been asking about that like |
| 40s | non-stop okay what's the deal with |
| 41s | fixmas I'll tell you in a second all |
| 43s | right and finally I've got some really |
| 45s | exciting news uh regarding a big sale |
| 47s | that's going on on one of our partnered |
| 49s | merch store lizado doo.com so make sure |
| 52s | to stick around for that so yeah update |
| 54s | is now out on the Early Access Branch |
| 55s | after being on the experimental Branch |
| 57s | for roughly a decade roughly give her |
| 60s | take and uh the reception for update has |
| 63s | been pretty great honestly uh but it's |
| 65s | not a perfect update by any means and I |
| 67s | kind of wanted to spend a moment you |
| 69s | know talking about some of the known |
| 70s | issues uh with this update and sort of |
| 72s | clarify a bit on the state of things so |
| 75s | the first thing I want to talk about is |
| 76s | vehicles uh in in s Factory so in update |
| 79s | 8 we had to completely rework the |
| 81s | physics engine because the old physics |
| 82s | engine was deprecated uh in the new |
| 84s | Unreal Engine version that meant that |
| 87s | everything that had anything to do with |
| 89s | physics in the game had to be |
| 90s | essentially rework from scratch and |
| 92s | vehicles was one of those things in the |
| 93s | game that was most affected by this so |
| 95s | the automated side of vehicles is mostly |
| 96s | unaffected as like when we're automated |
| 98s | vehicles uh it actually doesn't use |
| 100s | physics too much uh to a certain extent |
| 102s | and it's mostly the vehic like the |
| 104s | manual driving side of things where |
| 105s | vehicles are kind of like uh a bit |
| 108s | different now than they used to be |
| 109s | before that's not to say that like |
| 111s | automated routes aren't affected by this |
| 114s | uh there might be some cases due to like |
| 116s | the fact that you know the turn radius |
| 117s | is a bit different on the vehicles and |
| 119s | like the speed and all that stuff is |
| 120s | affected so like the automated routes |
| 122s | that you've made previously before |
| 124s | updated may still have some impact uh |
| 127s | but for the most part it should be fine |
| 129s | and when it comes to the manual driving |
| 130s | of vehicles the feedback that we've |
| 132s | gotten has been a little bit mixed uh to |
| 134s | be honest uh a lot of people really like |
| 135s | the new vehicles there's also a bunch of |
| 137s | people that don't like the new vehicle |
| 138s | handling we've sorted taken the feedback |
| 140s | that we've gotten and we are going to |
| 142s | tweak the vehicles a little bit in the |
| 144s | future but we won't be able to do it for |
| 145s | this update essentially and this is |
| 147s | something actually we plan to do for |
| 149s | update just ran out of time so this is |
| 151s | something that we're going to look into |
| 153s | the future next thing I want to talk |
| 154s | about is a known issue where ultrawide |
| 156s | monitors support doesn't really work in |
| 158s | the game anymore um we used to have a |
| 160s | setting in the game that would like |
| 161s | maintain the Y AIS uh aspect ratio for |
| 164s | for like the fov and stuff like that and |
| 166s | unfortunately we have to change sort of |
| 168s | the our implementation of how the fov |
| 170s | handling works in the game with and |
| 172s | scaling equipment and all that stuff uh |
| 174s | which meant that the functionality for |
| 176s | maintaining the y- AIS that we use for |
| 178s | for wide monitors is broken at the at |
| 180s | the moment and it will be broken for |
| 181s | some time because we haven't had time to |
| 183s | look into it and we probably won't have |
| 184s | time to look into it for some time |
| 186s | unfortunately because we need to sort of |
| 188s | make a completely new uh implementation |
| 190s | for that so just be aware that that |
| 191s | setting is currently broken and we'll |
| 193s | look into it further down the line one |
| 194s | thing we also notice that every time |
| 196s | people download a patch to the game the |
| 198s | first like initial boot up of the game |
| 200s | once it's been installed is quite slow |
| 203s | and it takes quite long for the game to |
| 205s | to actually start up and get to the main |
| 206s | menu and the reason for that we found is |
| 209s | due to anti doing like a big scan on all |
| 211s | the modules that are in the game and |
| 214s | this can take quite some time actually |
| 215s | for some people and one side effect of |
| 217s | this is that once it's doing the scan it |
| 219s | sort of Blocks the game from booting up |
| 222s | um the login process that we have sort |
| 224s | of times out and so that means that |
| 226s | you're when you actually get into the |
| 227s | game um the login process sort of fails |
| 230s | and you're you're signed off signed out |
| 232s | and um you're offline and whenever you |
| 234s | try and start a new save file it will |
| 235s | tell you that you're offline and the |
| 237s | only way to sort of get around that is |
| 238s | to just restart the game and restart the |
| 240s | assigning process essentially so it's |
| 242s | kind of recommended that whenever you |
| 243s | download a patch just like let it run |
| 245s | that slow boot up and then restart the |
| 247s | game once you get into the main menu so |
| 249s | you so the next boot up is like |
| 250s | everything's fine we're going to try and |
| 252s | reach out to Microsoft and see if we can |
| 254s | uh look into as to why this is happening |
| 255s | because this is happen across the board |
| 256s | for every antivirus software um so we're |
| 259s | going to try and and figure out what's |
| 260s | going on there next thing I want to talk |
| 262s | about is belts some people have reported |
| 264s | that there they noticed some weird |
| 265s | flickering happening on belts and |
| 267s | there's like some weird artifacting |
| 269s | going on uh this can be multiple things |
| 271s | uh it could either be the upscaling |
| 273s | setting remember that we've added |
| 274s | support for like dlss FSR and TSR uh |
| 277s | upscaling options in the game one common |
| 280s | issue with some of these upscaling |
| 281s | options is that like Fast movement and |
| 283s | fast motions uh can produce like these |
| 285s | weird artifacts um and that's what's |
| 288s | happening on some of the faster belts in |
| 290s | the game and currently the only way to |
| 292s | get around that is to just not use one |
| 293s | of the upscaling options and just set |
| 295s | the game to use TAA or FXAA or you know |
| 298s | no antialising or whatever uh and that |
| 300s | should get rid of the artifacting but |
| 301s | there's also an issue where sometimes on |
| 303s | the belts some items can appear uh to be |
| 306s | there but they're not there or like the |
| 307s | highlighting works but there's nothing |
| 309s | there on the belt and this is more so a |
| 311s | rendering issue with the belts uh we're |
| 313s | aware of this issue we didn't have time |
| 315s | to fix it for update 8 because the |
| 316s | solution is quite involved to get around |
| 318s | that fix so we're going to another thing |
| 320s | that we're doing later down the line |
| 322s | another known issue is that some of the |
| 324s | factory animations can quite |
| 325s | aggressively slow down sometimes it |
| 327s | doesn't actually affect any of the uh |
| 330s | performance of the factor and like that |
| 331s | they will still produce the same way |
| 333s | that's purely a visual thing so like the |
| 335s | machines will still produce just fine |
| 336s | it's just that the animation won't |
| 337s | update as frequently next thing I want |
| 339s | to talk about is some issues in |
| 340s | multiplayer there are a couple of like |
| 342s | weird things happening in multiplayer |
| 344s | sometimes uh we've had to focus a bit |
| 346s | more on single player for this update in |
| 348s | particular so uh we obviously want to |
| 351s | maintain multiplayer as much as we can |
| 353s | this is obviously a game that's meant to |
| 354s | be played online and with friends there |
| 356s | might be some issues here and there that |
| 358s | we've hadn't a time to to patch up one |
| 360s | of the biggest offenders is that using |
| 362s | hyper tubes as clients can lead to some |
| 365s | pretty weird and gnarly situations where |
| 368s | uh there's a lot of rumber banding or |
| 370s | you might even end up in like weird |
| 372s | States we are aware of that issue we're |
| 374s | going to look into it that's for further |
| 375s | further down the line once we have more |
| 377s | time to polish sort of the multiplayer |
| 378s | aspect of things also it's recommended |
| 380s | to sort of look into the network |
| 382s | settings so you might have that can |
| 383s | actually resolve some of these issues so |
| 385s | like setting it to ultra if your |
| 387s | bandwidth uh can supply that that is |
| 390s | because it can actually get worse if you |
| 391s | don't have a fast internet connection um |
| 394s | so you can always play around with those |
| 395s | settings and that goes both for host and |
| 397s | clients by the way so I think we said |
| 399s | this before s Factory doesn't have |
| 400s | controler support uh we don't know if |
| 402s | we'll going to have native control |
| 403s | support in the future or not uh but one |
| 405s | thing that people have noticed is that |
| 406s | there used to be a legacy setting in the |
| 407s | menu where if you plug in controller you |
| 409s | could still play satisfactory to a |
| 411s | certain degree with a controller and |
| 412s | they used to be like a setting that you |
| 414s | can enable to sort of do that but now |
| 415s | that setting is completely gone and |
| 417s | people might be wondering like why did |
| 418s | we remove this D functionality if we had |
| 421s | like some support for controllers and |
| 423s | now we just have none and the reason why |
| 424s | we completely removed all Legacy options |
| 426s | for controller support in the game is |
| 428s | because now it's possible to uh remap |
| 431s | controllers to keyboard and mouse uh |
| 433s | using third party software or using |
| 435s | steam's own uh controller mapping uh |
| 438s | thing ofama jig that they have cuz |
| 440s | previously there were a couple of |
| 441s | keybinds that wasn't possible to do just |
| 443s | because the game already had sort of |
| 445s | some control over controllers so now we |
| 447s | completely remove that so that people |
| 448s | can use Steam controller mapping or you |
| 451s | know any other third party software uh |
| 453s | mapping thingy to buy controllers |
| 456s | themselves last thing I want to talk |
| 457s | about are crashes and performance so the |
| 459s | vast majority of crashes are related to |
| 462s | mods so if you have any mods installed |
| 464s | please try playing the game without mods |
| 466s | and see if you can reproduce the crash |
| 468s | the next most common crashes are related |
| 470s | to Hardware uh and it's mostly GPU |
| 472s | related crashes and some of these |
| 474s | crashes are kind of hard for us to to do |
| 476s | too much about but they can be resolved |
| 478s | on your end we have have a couple of |
| 480s | like FAQs and troubleshooting guides on |
| 482s | on like our steam forums and Discord on |
| 483s | our website and stuff like that uh but |
| 485s | here are some top troubleshooting tips |
| 487s | from SN right top troubleshooting tips |
| 489s | to SN all right here we go so first |
| 490s | things first make sure to update drivers |
| 492s | to your graphics card and even consider |
| 494s | switching to Studio drivers uh for your |
| 496s | graphics cards this tends to resolve a |
| 499s | lot of these issues and in some cases |
| 501s | you might also want to do like a clean |
| 503s | install of your graphics card drivers |
| 504s | cuz that can also solve a lot of issues |
| 506s | when people uh say they are on latest |
| 508s | drivers and then do a clean install that |
| 510s | actually solved it so so also consider |
| 512s | doing that the next thing you can try is |
| 513s | resetting the Shader cache uh how to do |
| 516s | this depends on what graphics card you |
| 518s | have so I recommend like Googling you |
| 520s | know your graphics card and how to |
| 522s | restart the Shader cache so look into |
| 524s | that and another common thing you can |
| 525s | try is switching the rendering API that |
| 527s | we use so the game by default uses |
| 529s | directx12 but you can also try switching |
| 531s | it to DirectX 11 and if you really dare |
| 533s | you can try switching it to Vulcan but |
| 535s | it's important to note that some people |
| 536s | may have switched to direct X11 in the |
| 539s | past because they've had issues with uh |
| 541s | directx12 the game is targeted toward |
| 543s | directx12 and there might be some new |
| 545s | issues due to DirectX 11 and there's |
| 548s | better support for direct direct X2 now |
| 550s | so some people might still have the |
| 551s | setting where the game boots up in |
| 552s | DirectX 11 and that causes issues and |
| 555s | then switching back and trying directx12 |
| 558s | actually resolves some of these issues |
| 560s | so yeah recommend checking them out and |
| 562s | trying them out and see which one works |
| 564s | as always something you can do is verify |
| 565s | your game files either via steam or epic |
| 568s | in the settings uh some people have also |
| 570s | had the issue where they needed to make |
| 572s | a clean install of the game so like just |
| 574s | verifying wouldn't work they actually |
| 575s | needed to like completely remove |
| 577s | everything and and reinstall the game |
| 580s | remember to back up your save files if |
| 581s | you do this save files aren't saved in |
| 583s | the same directory you know as your |
| 585s | install directory and whatnot uh but I'm |
| 588s | just saying that anyways it's always |
| 589s | good to like just always back up your |
| 591s | safe files okay it's I I can't stress |
| 594s | that enough you never know what can go |
| 595s | wrong you can sort of tell when the |
| 597s | crash is related to uh something to do |
| 600s | with your graphics card if in the crash |
| 601s | reporter in the call stack you see it |
| 603s | mentioning something like you know uh D3 |
| 606s | d11 uh or like direct X or GPU or render |
| 610s | thread or like uh device hung it's a |
| 614s | real shame whenever you get a device is |
| 616s | too hung if you know what I'm saying but |
| 618s | yeah for the most part when it comes to |
| 619s | stability for the game this is actually |
| 620s | one of the most stable releases we've |
| 621s | had I do want to tou touch a little bit |
| 623s | of on performance as well and talk a |
| 625s | little bit about that um so from the |
| 627s | data that we can see for the vast |
| 630s | majority of players the performance is |
| 631s | actually like on par if not better uh |
| 634s | than it was before and it's it's nice to |
| 636s | see that like a lot of people are having |
| 637s | a pretty smooth experience with the game |
| 639s | but that's not the case for everyone and |
| 640s | I kind of want to acknowledge like for |
| 642s | for some of those people that are seeing |
| 643s | like worse performance on update 8 than |
| 645s | in seven whenever I talk to people that |
| 646s | have run into performance issues it has |
| 649s | for the most cases been due to um |
| 651s | Hardware not meeting minimum |
| 653s | requirements and uh running out of vrm |
| 655s | and that kind of stuff it's it's |
| 657s | important to note that like with this |
| 658s | update we needed to to raise the minimum |
| 660s | requirements for the game and we might |
| 662s | need to sort of revisit this uh maybe |
| 664s | more in the future uh to better fit like |
| 668s | which cards we list in the minimum |
| 670s | requirements cuz there might be some |
| 671s | cases where you know some Hardware are |
| 673s | like fit to fight in terms of like |
| 674s | performance but doesn't have like |
| 676s | drivers that are maintained anymore and |
| 678s | we realized that this is really |
| 679s | frustrating for people that maybe don't |
| 681s | meet the minimum requirements and were |
| 683s | able to play the game before we can't |
| 684s | now and you know this is sort of the |
| 686s | backside of working on a game that is in |
| 687s | Early Access uh and still being in |
| 689s | active development having to sort of |
| 691s | leave people behind in this regard but |
| 693s | the thing was that when we were in |
| 694s | Update 7 we were sort of like pushing |
| 696s | the engine as as far as we could if like |
| 698s | in the terms of what we were using it |
| 700s | for and what we could do and we saw a |
| 702s | lot of potential in in doing even more |
| 704s | now we're sort of more primed to be able |
| 706s | to better optimize the game and go even |
| 708s | further you know on current gen Hardware |
| 711s | so we feel a lot more optimistic with |
| 712s | the new engine being able to do more |
| 714s | with the game that we were able to do |
| 715s | before so those are some of the known |
| 717s | issues with up to8 now I want to talk |
| 719s | about the the future and the future is |
| 720s | next week old man uh because next week |
| 722s | we're going to be |
| 724s | releasing a patch on experimental for up |
| 726s | toate where we update the online |
| 729s | integration that we have in the game so |
| 731s | if you remember a couple of weeks ago I |
| 732s | posted a video where I mentioned that |
| 734s | the online integration for satisfactory |
| 736s | is a bit working progress and update |
| 737s | we've had to uh sort of rework the |
| 739s | online integration for the game uh the |
| 742s | online integration is the stuff that |
| 743s | handles you know like you're populating |
| 744s | your friends list on Steam and you know |
| 746s | connecting to to Epic and logging you in |
| 748s | all that stuff so yeah that system has |
| 750s | been sort of reworked in update 8 it was |
| 752s | still a bit working progress when we |
| 753s | left off and it's a bit working progress |
| 755s | on the Early Access Branch right now so |
| 757s | next week we're going to push a patch |
| 758s | with an update to the online integration |
| 761s | so one thing we've done in the new |
| 763s | online integration is that we now make |
| 764s | it so that on Steam uh epic online |
| 767s | services will be opt in from now on if |
| 769s | you don't know what epic online services |
| 771s | are it's essentially the service used to |
| 772s | be able to do handle connectivity and |
| 774s | you know be able to play with your |
| 775s | friends uh and enable crossplay I think |
| 777s | that's the biggest aspect really and now |
| 779s | you're going to be able to opt out of |
| 780s | that if you want to so if you're on |
| 782s | Steam you can still play with your steam |
| 783s | friends but you can only play with your |
| 784s | steam friends if you opt out of this and |
| 786s | if you want to play crossplay you can |
| 787s | opt into the on on Epic online services |
| 790s | and be able to play with both Steam and |
| 791s | epic USU so there it's essentially more |
| 793s | feature Rich if you opt into the online |
| 795s | epic online services uh but now the |
| 797s | option is there at least and another |
| 799s | thing I mentioned is account unlinking |
| 801s | so account unlinking when it comes to |
| 803s | like linking your steam account to your |
| 804s | epic account uh that stuff is going to |
| 806s | be handled separately now outside of the |
| 808s | game so you're going to be able to go on |
| 809s | epic's website and unlink your Steam |
| 811s | account if you want to CH if you want to |
| 812s | do that and it won't you won't have to |
| 814s | do it through the game anymore so to |
| 816s | speak so that stuff is happening on |
| 817s | experimental next week but something |
| 819s | that's also happening next week is |
| 821s | fixmas if you don't know what fixmas is |
| 823s | it's the seasonal event that we've had |
| 825s | in the game since launch I think I think |
| 827s | we always had it uh and it's something |
| 829s | that happens that runs through December |
| 831s | 1st uh and like a little bit into |
| 833s | January where presents fall in the sky |
| 837s | you can do more stuff inside of fact |
| 838s | essentially |
| 839s | and fixmas will make a grand return in |
| 842s | update 8 so we are going to patch up and |
| 844s | fix the issues that we've run into with |
| 846s | the engine upgrade for fixmas um and |
| 849s | fixmas is going to run just as usual |
| 852s | there won't be any new content for |
| 854s | fixmas this year it will essentially be |
