Hi Pioneers!
Hello again everyone, it’s been a while since the last patch but we have a lot of fixes coming in this time around, this should cover the majority of issues and crashes we’ve seen so far so hopefully this will make the 1.2 Experimental a lot more stable
If the 1.2 Experience has gotten better or if we have introduced any new issues please let us know over at our QA Site https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/ Your posts are extremely helpful for us
If you heard about the 1.2 Update on Experimental and are interested trying it out, you can do so by following the instructions below:
And remember, you can BACKUP YOUR SAVE before trying it to avoid losing any of your progress
You can backup your save & blueprints by copying the folders in:
%LocalAppData%\\FactoryGame\\Saved\\SaveGames\\-YOUR ID-
%LocalAppData%\\FactoryGame\\Saved\\SaveGames\\blueprints
To access the Experimental version on Steam:
Right click Satisfactory on your library > Properties > Game Versions & Betas > experimental
Then exit this menu and the experimental version will start downloading for you
To access the Experimental version on Epic:
In your Library, search for “Satisfactory Experimental” and install it, it’s a separate entry from the default version so you need to download it individually
See you all next time, thank you so much for your continuous support <3
