Explorers!

With our largest game update yet also comes our first public, large-scale community gathering: ScavLab!

If you were a part of our Discord community before the launch of Early Access, you’ll know what ScavLab is, as we hosted a private, pre-launch celebration in it. For newcomers, let’s get to the details:

This Saturday, May 29th, at 11 AM PT / 7 PM BST!

No need to download a different client, just make sure Scavengers is patched, load it up before 11 AM PT on Saturday, and queue up for ScavLab from the main menu. For players with newer Nvidia cards, please update your drivers to ensure you get the smoothest experience!

NOTE: There is a current player cap of 5,000, which operates on a first-come, first-served basis, so get in the queue early! Additionally, if the servers do get filled up but some participants drop out, vacancies can open up immediately, even after the event has started. Just keep an eye out on the ScavLab mode button - if it's greyed out, it means we're at maximum capacity. If it's not, then space has been freed and you can join in!

For those of you loading up but who don’t want to participate in ScavLab, please make sure you switch over the Mode option in the lobby to Expedition, as our countdown to ScavLab will be the default option.

We’ll quote ourselves here: “Through our Early Access prep, we’ve been collaborating with Improbable’s London game studio on a very experimental sandbox testing platform, using Scavengers gameplay elements. We’re calling it ScavLab.

ScavLab was concepted by our London partners as a technology experiment, where we could host a massive amount of players, entities, and unique gameplay features in a single, shared communal hub. But scale isn’t exciting without purpose or fun, so we threw in some wild, conceptual ideas for Scavengers and it grew from there.

What we see in ScavLab is the opportunity to test a wide range of features - at scale and all together - in consideration for the core game. ScavLab is our new community event and testing space.”

Because we’ve been heads-down focused on the core Scavengers game, we don’t have too many changes to introduce from last time. That said, we have analysed the last event, went through feedback and have been working on balancing difficulty levels, improving overall performance and smoothing some of the features out.

We also felt it was a great time for everyone to come together to hang out with Josh, hear about upcoming Scavengers content, and maybe even get to ask some questions via Discord.

All-in-all, expect to have some serious fun sliding down a mountain, collecting datapoints, and battling thousands upon thousands of Thresh on a beautiful snowy lake (with jump pads…).

This ScavLab event is expected to run once for ~30-45 minutes. No repeats!

Go ahead! If you’re a content creator or streamer who wants to stream this ScavLab event or participate in future ones, join in, stream the event, and tag us in your social posts!

Like last time, we’ll also be hanging out in the ScavLab chat channels on our official Discord before, during, and after the event to discuss. Drop your feedback there!

Hi Pioneers!

Here’s another attempt at fixing the connectivity issues we’ve been hearing from some players who mostly have really really big saves.

If we finally fixed these issues or if they persist please let us know over at our QA Site https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/ We’ll be glad to receive your comments either way

A reminder for people 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 > 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.

Until next time!

BUG FIXES

• Another fix for players being unable to connect to multiplayer on very large saves
  
• Fixed an issue resulting in a “Reliable Buffer Overflow” for some clients

LOCALISATION

• Updated all languages with the latest translations
  
• Updated language completion rates

A big patch, but still a patch. Changelog:

• Right-clicking on an invalid object with a guiding drone installed will still rotate your ship.
  
• Gravimetric drone now has a visual scale for readouts displayed.
  
• Extra achievement.
  
• Fixed a bug that caused your launch sequence to count as a ring dive in ship logs.
  
• When you rescue a ship that is not abandoned, you get a monetary reward.
  
• Changed the visual cues for hearing impaired players to be both more subtle in appearance and hopefully more obvious what they represent.
  
• Number of stability improvements in thread-handling code.
  
• Changed a number of quests to be more predictable in their outcome.
  
• Fixed a bug that caused quest events near derelict ships to not trigger, locking out certain crew tales.
  
• Fixed warning levels for low ΔV on Eagle Prospector hud, which were set too high for Saturn’s rings.
  
• Restarting your computer will now reset all adaptive autopilot parameters to their default values.
  
• Adaptive autopilot modes now take more samples and are more difficult to confuse with anomalous cargo shifts.
  
• Changed the way crew quests are handled to ensure that everybody on your crew has his quest.
  
• Audio fixes - fixing audio stuttering and clipping on a couple of occasions.
  
• Fixed some visual glitches in the upgrade window.
  
• Updated translations.

- Fixed issue where turning speeds of pushables would take mouse sensitivity into account
- Flipped the blank Tape UV Map to make it easier to edit

(Basically, I've fixed wheel barrow turning speed for some users).

Some Valve Index players have reported issues with grabbing and holding objects - we have now made an improvement to this that should lead to a much more enjoyable experience:

• We have decreased the sensitivity on the grip to reduce the amount of pressure needed to grab and hold objects.
  
• We have also resolved an issue where players could fall outside of the mansion through a whole in the wall(!!!)

Thank you to everyone who provided us feedback so far, hopefully you will now enjoy your experience as a Wraith in the Afterlife even more!
