Hi Pioneers!

Hello everyone, here’s a few more fixes in preparation for the weekend, Including a bunch of QOL and some fixes for some of the most commonly reported issues.

If you’re experiencing issues with this new update, please let us know over at our QA Site: https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/ We read all your posts every day

See you soon everyone
QOL

• Signs
  
  • Removed restrictions for snapping signs to pillars, they can now snap to any side at any time
    
  • When snapping a sign to a foundation, ceiling or floor, you can now hold CTRL to lay the sign down flat, otherwise it will use the pole support

• Dismantling
  
  • The Build Gun now remembers its last used dismantle mode, such as blueprint dismantle, so you no longer need to switch to it every time the Build Gun is brought up

BUG FIXES

• Fixed the Object Scanner displaying incorrectly when using an FOV other than 90
  
• Fixed the Railroad Tracks displaying incorrectly
  
• Fixed broken sign rotation for Beams
  
• Fixed an issue where certain buildings would not rotate correctly when snapping to foundation sides and ceilings
  
• Fixed bug where conveyor lifts were able to snap to connections which are not aligned with its input or output
  
• Changed the default keybinding for Saving Hologram to Hotbar to be unbound/empty
  
  • This means that if you want to use it, you will have to manually bind it to a key, but for now it has been defaulted to nothing as it has been causing issues related to the ALT key getting stuck
    

LOCALISATION

• Updated all languages with the latest translations

Hi Pioneers!

Hello everyone, here’s a few hotfixes from some of the bigger issues we’ve seen you encounter from yesterday that might be preventing some people from playing the game or that will hopefully improve the experience for others.


There’s two things to explain for this patch:

• New Pioneer being assigned when loading your save
  
  If you’ve linked your accounts before, yesterday’s patch would give you a new character, so you would see your previous character offline hanging out where you previously were.
  
  The temporary solution was to find your old character and hit it with a weapon and then retrieve your items
  
  If you did this, Today’s patch will result in the same situation, you will go back to your original character, so it will once again seem like you got a “new character” even though it is now back to the original
  
  What this means is that if you didn’t play yesterday at all, the expected behaviour should be that you don’t get a new character at all, you shouldn’t be affected.
  

• Offline mode will now be automatically started when online authentication is not available or hasn’t finished
  
  This will be done without a popup for now as it is WIP, so if you get in-game and notice that you’re not able to invite or join multiplayer games try relaunching the game and wait a bit longer for the authentication to finish, You can see the status of this on the bottom left of the screen.

See you all again soon, hope you’re enjoying the update
BUG FIXES

• Main menu buttons should no longer be greyed out when the online integration is not fully initialized (When online or offline)
  
• Made it so offline players can now take damage regardless of any other conditions like God Mode enabled on Advanced Game settings
  
• Fixed Global Illumination being empty by resetting it when the value was set to 0
  
• Online Integration should now fall back to offline mode when the system fail to initialize rather than crashing
  
• Potentially fixed some of the crashes related to “Assertion failed:IsInGame Thread() @OnlineAsyncOpHandle.h, for the crashes that were not fixed we’ve added more logging to help pinpoint the cause
  
• Removed the loading screen related to the online functionality, This will help for players that get stuck on the loading screen, it also fixes the Account linking popup never showing up
