Satisfactory Alpha release
- Thread starter wnb
- Start date
Oh dear, performance is not good for me, having some significant freezes to the point where I keep thinking it's crashed, my 980ti is just not up to it anymore lol, I may have to turn some settings down
980ti jesus
I just logged in and tried for the first time (on my 4090 and i9-13900KS
), with everything maxed out to absolute highest settings, it looks legit - but I'm getting a lot of stuttering, I've gone from around 100fps to 40-50fps, but it looks nice!Jumped onto my save and did a quick Old V new comparison (around the same time of the day)
OLD:
NEW
The lighting looks way way better, it's way more immersive all the surfaces have their own reflections and stuff - when you're inside factories, the light reflects off everything so it looks cool.
So yeah - it's a huge fidelity upgrade, but I think @Dano - time for a new GPU

Stuttering will be fixed , one of the devs is in the modding discord, said there is LOD issues on new engine and things not reducing at all, highest priority for fix , but the new graphics are awesome
I know I know, I'm just trying to convince myself that a 4090 is the way to go lmao!!!So yeah - it's a huge fidelity upgrade, but I think @Dano - time for a new GPU
Turns out I had managed to switch on lumen too, so actually the 980ti was performing way above it's station in even running at all lmao
While the old one makes me think it lacks a bit of atmosphere, the new one makes me think of the joke the Borderlands devs made about them spending a lot of time discovering a new colour - because the previous game was very brown and the sequel made more use of green et all. Just this is the reverse of that. Also OTT on fog/mist IMO. Is this with Lumen on?980ti jesus

looking like a 1.0 release some point this year only just started a new save aswell
I'm going to go back and play this again at some point, I played between Nov-Dec 2022 last time, which was my first time. What I built previously was nothing great/complex but I found it quite casual to play and I enjoyed that. I also only scratched the surface.

That’s what I’m thinking too as I got back in to it with update 8’s release. I’ve got a basic factory that got me all the tiers unlocked. But currently ramping up power then planning and building my factory for the final elevator parts will take months. But I don’t want to burn out playing in 0.8 just in time for v1 to drop.
I just hope they don’t change any recipes as I’ve just finished about 50 hours getting a massive turbo fuel plant up and running.

sarcasum i beleive
I get the game is a time sink but just a really weird way to express it talking about terminally ill people.
