Hi Pioneers!
Today we’re reopening Experimental once again, this time with major changes across the board, so as always remember to BACKUP YOUR SAVE before trying it to avoid losing any of your progress
You can backup your save by copying the folders in:
C:\\Users\\[YOUR USER]\\AppData\\Local\\FactoryGame\\Saved\\SaveGames\\[YOUR ID FOLDERS]
To access the Experimental version on Steam: Right click Satisfactory on your library > Properties > Game Versions & Betas > experimental Then exit this menu and the experimental version will start downloading for you
To access the Experimental version on Epic:
In your Library, search for “Satisfactory Experimental” and install it, it’s a separate entry from the default version so you need to download it individually
For this Experimental release, one of the big changes is that we’ve upgraded our Unreal Engine version all the way to 5.6.1 which as usual with engine upgrades, alongside many improvements it might also bring in unexpected bugs or other unexpected behaviour
The other big change is that all the other changes that have been done for the Console version will now finally be available for PC users here on Experimental, this includes hundreds of improvements, bug fixes, controller polish and quality of life upgrades and localization updates!
This experimental is very big in terms of how much work has been put into it, so as always we’re focused on maintaining an enjoyable experience for all of you, so if you find any new issues or there’s anything you think we should fix please let us know over at our QA Site https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/ We read your posts every day
There might be a few things from the last few patches from the latest live version that might not be present in this version, as all of this has been developed in parallel over the past year (yes, before the console release even!) but before this experimental version moves to the default version of Satisfactory, all of these improvements will make it back and be consolidated into one version again, so don’t worry
Hope you enjoy trying out this experimental, we appreciate your feedback and support, it will help us make the game better for everyone
Thank you for your support, See you all next time <3
