Hello again everyone, Today we are reopening Experimental again!
AffectedPC · PS5 · Xbox
Main focusHi Pioneers! · For Steam: · For Epic:
- From now on we intend to use Experimental to properly implement bigger bug fixes, programming changes or optimizations without compromising the current 1.0 experience for those who are comfortably playing in the 1.0 default version of Satisfactory
- This should also help with reducing the frequency of patches/downloads necessary for the majority of players since we’ll space out a bit more when we will move Experimental versions into the default version once they have been stabilized
- Since changes in Experimental might have some unexpected side effects, please BACKUP YOUR SAVES before trying it out
What officially changed
Hi Pioneers!
Hello again everyone, Today we are reopening Experimental again!
From now on we intend to use Experimental to properly implement bigger bug fixes, programming changes or optimizations without compromising the current 1.0 experience for those who are comfortably playing in the 1.0 default version of Satisfactory
This should also help with reducing the frequency of patches/downloads necessary for the majority of players since we’ll space out a bit more when we will move Experimental versions into the default version once they have been stabilized
Since changes in Experimental might have some unexpected side effects, please BACKUP YOUR SAVES before trying it out
You can find your saves in:
%LocalAppData%/FactoryGame/Saved/SaveGames/
There should be a folder with a lot of numbers, that is your Steam/Epic ID and that folder will contain your saves, you can copy this folder somewhere else
The fixes today involve the Customizer, Lightweight Buildables as well as a Dedicated server fix and some crash fixes, if you would like to know more about the changes in detail you should watch our video on them by our community manager Mikael
https://youtu.be/Z3UtGdftZbc
If you would like to quickly access the Experimental version, first BACKUP YOUR SAVES and then:
For Steam:
Then right click the Game on Steam > Properties > Betas > Beta Participation > Select Experimental
For Epic:
Look in your game library for “Satisfactory Experimental” from there you can install it
And don’t forget to BACKUP YOUR SAVES before you start playing
If we happened to introduce any new issues with these changes, please let us know over at our QA Site https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/ We appreciate all of your feedback
If the Experimental release turns out to be too unstable for you, you can always switch back to the default version of the game and restore your save game and continue enjoying Satisfactory as usual
See you all again soon <3
