    There's a lot more stuff to come.

    So I mentioned before another like workaround or a solution to the broken save games thing.

    And again, this isn't completely ideal, but it is something.

    The thing is, Satisfactory is supposed to be DRM free.

    It's not exactly, but it kind of is.

    And so what you can do is you can create a copy of the current version of the game or whatever version of the game and play that offline separate to the current version.

    So you can potentially create a copy of the version before update number three, and then that will continue to work with your old saves if you

    Make sure you backup all saves.

    So that is something.

    And in order to do that, I'm going to explain that to you now.

    So take it away, me.

    Okay.

    The first thing you need to do is go to your install directory.

    All right.

    And then you're going to copy.

    Wait.

    You're going to make a copy of the game to some folder that you want.

    I'm just going to make a folder on the desktop and just call it backup.

    All right.

    So then now I'm just going to grab all the files and move the backup folder just a little bit.

    And then I'm gonna copy and I'm gonna paste it in there.

    So we're gonna let this run Okay, so now we just need to create a shortcut So just right click go create shortcut of the exe file the factory game one so then right click the shortcut and go down to properties and

    you'll see that there's a target field right here.

    At the end, just put hyphen epic portal in there and then click apply or okay, whatever.

    And then you could just launch the game from there.

    Thanks, me.

    Now, that's not that great of a solution.

    Again, it's really convoluted, but it is something.

    We are looking into a potential solution, which could be that we add the pre-Update 3 version of the game to the Epic Launcher as well, so you'll have another satisfactory version in your library.

    But maybe that's not good either, because then it's going to get all...

    like messy because you're getting all these versions of satisfactory in there but it's going to be simpler than making copies of your versions and things like that so i don't know what do you guys want we don't really know what we should do there so i would love your opinions if you can leave that down in the comments and it'll help us make a decision
