Satisfactory Update 8 v0.8.2.6 Fixes Connectivity and FSR

Satisfactory receives a new maintenance patch targeting multiplayer connectivity, FSR upscaling, and crash issues. The update also brings localization adjustments and addresses hanging behavior on exit.

Coffee Stain Studios has rolled out Update 8 version v0.8.2.6 for Satisfactory. The patch focuses primarily on backend stability, tackling Epic Online Services and multiplayer connection stability alongside graphics upscaling improvements.

Stability and Performance

The patch addresses multiple game crashes and fixes an issue where the game could hang upon quitting. Factory animation tick reductions are noted to have been slightly too aggressive. Players should expect the first game boot after applying the update to be unusually slow.

Graphics and Display

FSR improvements are included in this version. However, Temporal Super Resolution can still cause visual bugs on conveyor belts. Players experiencing belt artifacts can input a specific console command to adjust shading rejection, though this comes at the cost of anti-aliasing quality.

Why this patch matters

This minor update addresses lingering stability and graphical snags in Update 8, though mod users and those troubleshooting TSR artifacts will need to take manual steps.
