Satisfactory v1.2.4.0 Will Tackle Multiplayer Stalls, Blueprint Bugs, and PS5 Crashes
The upcoming patch will be available on Steam, Epic, Xbox Series S|X, and PlayStation 5 with fixes spanning vehicles, dedicated servers, UI, and localization.
Satisfactory will receive another 1.2 cleanup pass with v1.2.4.0, a patch aimed at multiplayer stalls, blueprint problems, vehicle systems, and several crash causes. Coffee Stain Studios published the notes on August 11 in its Steam announcement, which says the update will be available on Steam and Epic, Xbox Series S|X, and PlayStation 5.
The patch also brings back more choices for First Person Equipment Scale, fixes silent FICSIT Freighter takeoffs around the HUB, and addresses a PS5 crash tied to UFGBlueprintFunctionLibrary. Clearance checks for holograms should also cause fewer stutters and framerate spikes.
The previous v1.2.3.1 cleanup patch focused on Photo Mode, controller issues, and crash fixes, making v1.2.4.0 another round of maintenance for the 1.2 branch. Players who find more problems can send feedback through the Satisfactory QA Site.
