Satisfactory Update v0.8.3.3 Fixes Animation Ticks and TSR Glitches

Satisfactory update v0.8.3.3 addresses hanging on quit, factory animation tick reductions, and conveyor belt visual artifacts caused by Temporal Super Resolution. The patch arrives ahead of the holiday break.

Coffee Stain Studios released update v0.8.3.3 for Satisfactory. This pre-holiday patch tackles technical issues involving game behavior on quit, animation ticks, and rendering glitches.

Performance and Rendering Adjustments

The update addresses an issue where factory animation tick reductions were too aggressive. It also fixes a problem where the game can hang when attempting to quit. For players using Temporal Super Resolution, conveyor belts may exhibit visual issues, and the developer suggests using the console command r.TSR.ShadingRejection.Flickering 0 to reduce flickering, though this lowers anti-aliasing quality.

Technical Considerations

The first boot after applying the update will be slow. Players utilizing mods may need to update or uninstall them. Additionally, verifying game file integrity through Steam or Epic Games may redownload a large volume of files depending on drive speeds and internet connection.

Why this patch matters

Update v0.8.3.3 offers stability and visual fixes for Satisfactory, requiring players to check their mod lists and first-boot load times.
