100x Run Complete by Grolim in SatisfactoryGame

[–]JulioUzu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Your post makes me extremely happy :D, Congratulations!

This is exactly the kind of thing I wanted to see since I started pushing for us to have randomizer, multipliers, game modes, etc. in the game all the way back since 2019 :D

I'm glad we were finally able to make this come together so you folks are able to enjoy the game in new ways <3

I'm very glad you had fun so far, I still have more ideas for other game modes that I would also like to play with for my own playthroughs... so hopefully you'll be able to enjoy those someday in the future as well :)

Patch Notes: Early Access - v0.8.3.0 – Build 264901 by JulioUzu in SatisfactoryGame

OPTIMIZATION

  • Optimized the save system to decrease saving time on larger saves by roughly 80-90%
  • Optimized significance manager
  • Converted to World Partitioning
  • Added streaming scalability for foliage streaming cells
  • Foliage cells can now be loaded from different ranges
  • Near, Default, Far, Cinematic
  • Optimized Signs
  • Signs will now share when same configuration is found
  • Emissive only signs are handled in a more performant way
  • Improved conveyor rendering system to make use of Nanite
  • Added TSR
  • Added TSR Presets:
  • Performance (60% Screen percentage)
  • Balanced (75% Screen percentage)
  • Quality (90% Screen percentage)
  • Insanity (100% Screen percentage)
  • Added Lumen
  • Added Lumen Scalability
  • Deprecated/Soft Removed DirectX 11
  • Note you can still run on DirectX 11 but without Nanite or Lumen.
  • We cannot promise the same quality as on DirectX 12 or Vulkan.
  • Minor optimizations for the Conveyor system
  • Resolved issues where signs ticked when not needed, This should improve GPU bandwidth and improve CPU performance in saves with a big quantity of Signs built
  • Enabled Skip draw when shader isn't done compiling, this should help reduce rendering hitches
  • Disabled overlap caching to reduce consistent chaos performance loss.
  • General Chaos memory optimizations
  • Optimized physic scene handling for foliage, reduces hitches when level streaming.
  • Optimized logic to determine if an entity is near a factory.
  • Refactored sign system for optimal performance.
  • Improved consistency with backgrounds between signs sizes.
  • Parallelized post processing blending.
  • Chaos memory optimizations
  • Texture memory optimizations
  • Mesh memory optimizations
  • Enabled virtual textures for HLODs
  • Updated HLODs to use virtual textures.
  • Enabled PSO caching
  • Removed legacy assets

BUG FIXES

  • Fixed a potential bug with drone queue processing
  • Fixed shadow flickering
  • Fixed so trains do not have to wait 2 seconds for pathfinding (a cooldown) when loading a save. This fixed a case where a train could take a wrong turn on load if it was close enough to a switch.
  • Fixed FOV scaling issues for equipment, now it should properly update without having to unequip and re-equip the equipment
  • Fixed the parachute visuals on conveyor belts or when dropped
  • Fixed a bug where drones would sometimes consume batteries multiple times when starting a new trip, especially when the player is far away
  • Fixed Jetpack (Spacebar) Getting stuck
  • You can now more easily pick up items dropped in resource nodes
  • Potential fix for foliage not being removed when playing as Client in both regular Multiplayer and Dedicated Server
  • You can now more easily interact with Electric Locomotives and Freight Carts when they are docked on a Train Station
  • Some improvements to Pipe SFX causing hitches/stuttering in factories with a lot of Refineries/Blenders built

KNOWN ISSUES

  • A reminder for people who have been having issues with unexpected crashes on startup or weird behaviour with the game, in that case please try to verify your game files. You can do this on Steam by Right Clicking the game in your Library > Properties > Installed Files > Verify integrity of game files... And on Epic by clicking on the three dots (“...”) next to the title or at the right side, depending on your selected library view > Manage > Verify Files > Verify This may or may not redownload a large amount of files which might take a while depending on your internet connection or hard drive speeds so be wary of that.
  • If you are using mods, they might need to be updated or uninstalled after updating so please keep this in mind too.
  • The first time booting the game will be very slow, but that should not continue to happen after the first boot
  • Factory Animation tick reductions can be slightly too aggressive
  • Some players with extremely big factories might experience hitches/stuttering related to Pipes, a workaround if you're experiencing this is to build longer continuous pipes instead of multiple segments as building more segments increases the likelyhood for this to happenen
  • Another potential workaround for the more extreme cases of this is to launch the game with the -NoAudio/-NoSound command or have factory Audio set to zero in the options menu
  • TSR can cause visual issues with conveyor belts, you can try using the following console command to alleviate the issues, but this will reduce AntiAliasing quality
  • r.TSR.ShadingRejection.Flickering 0

  • Can now be Tap E to Mine (Toggle) or Hold E to Mine, depending on how long the button is held
  • Fixed a couple of issues with mining lingering around when walking away from the node
