The much-anticipated Update 8, version v0.8.1.3, for the hit game Satisfactory is out now, promising an improved gaming experience. This update addresses key issues that have been impacting gameplay, particularly in Multiplayer mode.
First and foremost, the update tackles Production Indicator lights not flashing on buildings. This issue was a cause for concern among players, but is now fixed. Secondly, Signs not working properly in Multiplayer or Dedicated Server have been rectified, enabling smoother in-game communication.
In addition to these major fixes, the update also addresses:
- Screen Percentage setting not saving correctly
- Potential crashes related to Conveyor Renderer
Satisfactory has always been a game focused on performance. With XeSS updated to 1.2, players should see a marked improvement in game speed. In line with this, Screen Percentage presets for XeSS will now match those of DLSS and TSR presets, ensuring a more coherent visual experience.

- 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 > 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
- Factory Animation tick reductions can be slightly too aggressive
