Early Access Update v0.4.2.2

Hi Pioneers!

Today we’re finally moving the lastest Experimental updates to the Early Access version.

The main changes that weren’t here before are the EOS SDK Upgrade which has allowed some players who were previously having issues with Multiplayer connections to be able to play now (We are aware there are other connection issues as well and we’re working on those too) the modding related changes and .exe renaming (Satisfactory properly shows on task manager again) alongside some bugfixes.

As always, If things are not working like they should please let us know over at our QA site https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/ We read your comments every day.

If you’re having issues after updating please verify your game files!.

Thank you all for your support, see you again soon

Experimental Update v0.4.2.2

Hi Pioneers!

Hello again, today we have another small update, we’ve been noticing some reports of people being unable to join multiplayer games or getting “Connection Timed Out” messages, so we have updated our EOS SDK to see if this potentially resolves these issues so if you are currently experiencing those issues please give the Experimental version a try.

There shouldn’t be any new issues from this upgrade but if there are any please let us know over at our QA site https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/ and we will try to solve them ASAP.

Thank you all for playing our game

Experimental Update v0.4.2.1

Hi Pioneers!

Hello again everybody, it’s been a while, today we’re releasing this patch for the Experimental version with a lot of things that might affect the modding community so we want to get some feedback on whether things are okay or not before we move it to the Early Access version.

There’s a few fixes that made its way over here because why not, but the focus is the modding related changes, if you’re comfortably playing and using mods you might want to stick to the Early Access version instead as this update might break them for a while.

If there’s some newly introduced issues with this update that aren’t mod related, you can let us know over at our QA site as usual https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/ We read all of your posts.

Until next time, take care everybody
