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.

Merry FICS*MAS!, Hope you’re all having a fun time with the update, see you all again soon <3

Hi Pioneers!

Here’s a small patch with some more bug fixes and some FICS*MAS related fixes, hope they help!

If we introduced any new issues please let us know over at our QA Site https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/ We read your comments every day.

PS: Early Access and Experimental have temporarily been brought back to parity again, but we will continue releasing Experimental patches to test new changes or features in the future that are too unstable for Early Access, so if you don’t want to worry about unexpected issues you should switch to the Early Access (default) version.

Merry FICS*MAS!, Thanks for enjoying our game <3

Hi Pioneers!

This December Holiday Content and Event were brought to you by the FICSIT Inc. internal marketing department.

The in-game Event is available in both Early Access & Experimental versions of the game until Jan 18th, 2022!

Any resemblance to external holidays, celebrations, events, traditions, historical or contemporary, and their products, is purely coincidental.

Patch Notes

It’s that time of the year once again so FICS*MAS is returning with all of the old content and some of it new, what is in there you wonder? Well that’s part of the fun as you have all of December to find out!, And if you don’t want to you can also opt out by clicking on Main Menu > Options > Gameplay > Disable Seasonal events.

You can get started with some of the FICS*MAS content by checking the FICS*MAS Calendar in the HUB and the M.A.M. “FICS*MAS Holiday Even...

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 ...

Hi Pioneers!

Hello again everyone, We hope you’re all having fun with the Update, We’ve noticed some issues still so here’s a small patch for you all.

Some of you are experiencing some common issues (Like corrupted game files) and the solutions to them might have been missed on the last patch notes due to them being so massive, so please take a look over at the “Known Issues” section in this patch notes and hopefully that will help!

If you’re still having issues or if we are forgetting something important or we introduced new issues after this patch, please let us know over at our QA Site https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/ We read your comments every day.
