Hi Pioneers!

Hello again everybody, just a few small FICS*MAS related fixes and a UI change to the Network Quality setting in the options menu.

Regarding the Network Quality setting, a while back we increased the default settings for it, so if you are having issues connecting in Multiplayer, switching it back to Medium (Default), Or Increasing it to a higher value might solve those issues, so we suggest trying out the settings to see if it helps.

If we’re forgetting about some important issue please let us know over at our QA Site https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/ We read your comments every day.

Hi Pioneers!

Hello again everyone, It’s time for Experimental to be reopened once again.

We would like to remind everyone that Experimental is where we do some changes that might be too unstable to put in the Early Access (Default) version, So if you are having no issues with the game right now you might want switch to or stay in the Early Access version.

Today’s patch includes a potential fix for those who are crashing on startup on when loading a game due to DX12 incompatibilities after we made it the default renderer.

It also includes the first of many of the active developments for Dedicated Servers so we can keep on improving them.

Has this update fixed your issues when launching the game? Is the Dedicated Server change good? Did we introduce a bunch of new issues instead of fixing them? Please let us know over at our QA Site ...
