KNOWN ISSUES

A reminder for people who have been having issues with unexpected crashes on startup or weird behavior 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 > Local 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 Game can hang on quit There is major performance loss when running out of VRAM Lights don’t behave correctly in Lumen compared to Signs Factory Animation tick reductions can be slightly too aggressive 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

Max FPS option is visually stuck at 0 regardless of selection, the FPS cap does still work however, so this is merely cosmetic The Global Illumination option might show blank and prevent you from changing it if you were using Cinematic before it was removed in yesterday’s update, you can work around this by using the “Reset to Default” button, it should let you change the setting normally afterwards, Do note that this will reset all other Video settings to default

      I got u8 right away and it was nice and stable, although texture loading chugged quite a bit as I traversed regions. I want to try out Lumen so I’ll get this patch and then hop in again.

      Update 8 in general has been a bit buggy. On my dedicated server, there have been a number of client side crashes as well as strange behavior with hyper tubes. For v0.8.0.3, it just dropped in the last hour, so I haven’t had a lot of time with it, yet.

      I found it to be stable enough to play after the recent hotfixes and with the QoL improvents that have been introduced I’m not feeling like going back.

      I recommended backing up your saves and giving update 8 a try. As long as your have a copy of your U7 saves, you can always revert.
