Satisfactory is a first-person open world factory building game developed and published by Coffee Stain Studios.

The game was released to early access on March 19, 2019 on Epic Games Store and had reached over 500,000 copies sold by June 7, 2019.[1] Following its third major update, the game became available on Steam on June 8, 2020, allowing cross-play with Epic Games Store.[2] Coffee Stain Studios described the releases on both platforms as an "incredible success", as they announced that by July 3, the number of sales on Steam had exceeded 360,000 and the total number across both stores had reached 1.3 million.[Note 2][3] The number had risen to 5.5 million by February 2, 2024.[4]

The game received eight major updates while in early access, followed by version 1.0, which marked its full release on September 10, 2024.[5]

Official mod support is not planned until after the game is out of early access, while the community-created FICSIT Augmentation Database acknowledged by the developer contains hundreds of modifications.[6]

Issues fixed

Official list of issues and workarounds

Crashing on startup

The game may crash on startup.

Use the -dx11 command line argument to force DirectX 11 as a workaround.[23][24][25]

Maintain Y-Axis FOV Aspect Ratio option resets for the menu

The in-game Maintain Y-Axis FOV Aspect Ratio option resets for the main menu after restarting the game.[26]

Use Rose's ultrawide mod to enforce Y-Axis FOV and correct the main menu.[13]

Upscaled image

The game's internal resolution may be linked to the Windows display scaling, resulting in the game rendering at 50% internal resolution at 200% scaling in Windows.[27][dubious – discuss]

Set the display scale to 100%
  1. On Windows 10, search for and click on Change the size of text, apps, and other items via the start menu.
  2. In the newly opened window, set the Scale and layout to 100%.

Delays and other connection issues

Adjust network quality[28][29]

From the main menu, go to Options → Gameplay, and set Network Quality to Ultra.
