[Music]

, yeah how's how how is everyone doing are you having a good Tuesday I don't know why I am good it's morning somewhere in the world that's that's that's a given close captions working awesome it's rare for people to point out that it works it's more like it's more common for people to tell me that it doesn't work, yeah anyways what a what a week for me well it's Tuesday a it feels like oh man, welcome everybody to the weekly Dev stream where I hang out with you guys and we talk about stuff that's going on in the world of satisf factory, I said last time that I was going to prep for the stream guest who didn't have time to prep for the stream as in for like the gameplay aspect of me I prep for the other stuff but said I was going to prepare the oil but I haven't got there but we we'll figure it out we'll figure it out during G, so yeah we're going to talk about things that are going on there also going to be a Q&A I think the slider page is up so if you have any questions you want to ask like where's up day nine

[Laughter]

funny this is so funny you're so clever with your jokes what not oh you muted That's funny though that's actually funny it reminds me of, I think it was update 5 that was the my proudest moment during update 5 reveal stream where me and jaay we filmed a separate take for the patch notes video where we were muted, and then the video went live and people were going like oh no it's muted oh God stop it stop the stream stop the Stream so funny- I think, I think that's on the YouTube channel the reaction to that up or maybe it's like maybe it's like, what's the look word I'm looking for here, unlisted yeah here is satisfactory update 5 experimental release countdown oh boy that was so funny that was so funny gotcha y little, so yeah, I don't know if wait what time is it you just spend just a couple minutes just to get people in here like people that don't get notifications and whatnot it doesn't matter actually if I wait or not I just realized I should just go cuz like what's going to happen is even if I wait a couple of minutes for like people to get get the notifications from twitch and and and blah blah blah like people are still going to like at the end of the the state of DB be like oh I just got here can you repeat everything you just said, so it doesn't it doesn't matter okay we're just GNA we're just going to jump straight to it where's my goddamn thing I'm just going to go straight to it because we got we got some news I think no we do we do we do, I think the biggest question is where's update 8 right that's what people are here for when's update a coming out really soon actually, I don't know if you guys noticed but on experimental we we've released a couple patches the thing that we focused on the most is fixing the like connectivity issues that we had since introducing the new, handling for our online subsystem, I came with a couple of problems we think we've solved them now potentially, experimental much more stable for me now yeah so I think I think like we pushed a patch yesterday, please try that one, and see if you have any lingering issues to be fair like there's there's probably going to be a couple of issues here and there bugs that is, the main thing we're after here is like General stability, if it feels like this is you know a version worthy to release EA, with one caveat and that is that the online subsystem we're still going to keep working on that a little bit after EA probably, we probably won't have time to finish everything that we wanted to finish with that, in regards to an EA release so I think I mentioned this last week as well but the online subsystem I'm just going to like take it one step back just for people if this is like new to you or anything like that so so in update 8 we have, also and along with everything else that we added to the game we also changed and updated our online subsystem which is the online sub system is essentially the stuff that's handling the boring aspect of, online connectivity so that's like you know logging you into steam if you're on Steam logging you into epic if you're on Epic, you know grabbing your friends list handling the whole like linking account thing if you are linked to Epic if you're on Steam and you're linked if you're not on on it if you're on Epic then it doesn't like then it just like ignores that, because steam doesn't allow you to to grab friends list unless you're on Steam, it's just like it's just like layer that handles all that stuff and like you know getting the session ID and all that stuff so like technically that system shouldn't really do too much with a connectivity aspect of it, but there was something underlying with the like the SDK they were using that was like funky whatever and EP was just like go back go back abort abort so we've done that, and since then it seems that it has resolved a lot of issues for people that couldn't connect since we introduced that system, the reason why we changed the online subsystem is because we are anticipating doing a bit more work on that area that also makes it possible to to sort of add new features like improve certain, aspects of connectivity and like online systems, and and like it sort of sets us up to be able to work on that there's also another aspect and that is that, in the back end one of our like authentication authentication Keys needed to be updated at the end of November so we needed so like those two things kind of sort of came hand in hand so we'll just like all right we'll push a new online subsystem and then, people will still be able to play online at the end of November so, winwin but, we didn't have time to finish all the features for the online subsystem and and one feature in particular that won't be available on the release for Early Access is the ability to be able to unlink your epic account if you've linked it with your Steam account, that we are going to have to patch in as soon as we can but we also felt that like we didn't want to like try and Fiddle with that too much before the EA release because if we do that then we might end up with like new regression bugs or other issues down the line and those make sense to do that it makes sense to do that on experimental but we don't want to do that on EA, or like delay EA any any further so that's sort of why, we'll sort of release it as it is right now and then we'll keep working on it so what's going to happen probably is like we're going to release update on ea, me maybe with this patch that's out now potentially unless there's more stuff that we need to look into, and, then we'll do another round of experimental with like the new EOS stuff and like the new online subs and stuff and then once we feel comfortable with that then we'll move that over to e, yeah that's that, I have more things to talk about actually I do yeah so so we're hoping we don't have a release date yet for update 8, there's still we're still just still a couple of things we need to look into, but we are closing in and I think we're going to be able to announce when it'll come to update this week at least, knock on wood honestly a little bit it's a bit scared to say that on stream actually but but, I think I think we're going to be I think we're going to be able to announce this week so, stay tuned for that, like I said it's it's going to be sometime in November we'll just see when so that's that's that essentially one thing I do want to say Al also in regards to like all the issues and like the fixes that went out with this patch please let us know if it if if your issue has been resolved if you've ever posted on Discord or on steam or whatever that you were having issues, very common thing this happens to me like when people email me as well sometimes where they're having issues like they don't respond when it's been fixed which it's nice for us to hear that has been resolved and not just like I didn't touch it anymore, so so please post, give us information on like our CU site on Steam posts in the Discord whatever if you're still having issues, so that we can may be made aware if there's more fixing cuz right now it seems like everything's fine yeah today is November it is I actually got a little bit of panic attack not really, when I was setting the the time for the stream or like the the date for the the the Discord thread I was like wait it's November I don't remember that is it when when was it November apparently it's November now so that's cool fake November I think this is real November this is real as it's going to get, so yeah we'll be getting a fix missas this year so about that we hope so we hope we're working on that, it's the work that goes into fixmas is kind of clashing with update8 a little bit and, there's a bunch of stuff that we need to sort fix with fixmas is enough, cuz when we moved to update sorry when we upgraded to Unreal Engine 5 you know a lot of stuff broke as I you probably noticed and we've been slowly patching things up one thing we haven't really thought too much about is like fixed a lot of fixing stuff broke as well when we upgraded and we didn't really prioritize fixing that stuff and now we're in the point where like ah we should probably prioritize fixing that stuff, so that's what we're focusing on right now as well so that we can, hopefully get fixas this fixmas will hopefully be saved, yeah can we get a pain message so you can do exclamation mark QA, I think there's a there's a command to get all the commands but actually don't remember what it is, but there's a command to QA you can get it there and, yeah save fixas we're going to need a fixas miracle this year we are quite like in general I would say theme is quite, there's a lot of stuff happening at the same time and and like, oh look at that there's a command for that, in general there's there's so much stuff going on right now Lego the hell what's that command that still valid didn't do jack is it on delay oh for the QA so that's AMA that's confusing so so AMA is for the stream stuff QA is quality assurance so not Q&A so like confusing as hell I know, see has a scrooge man now I really want to make like a an animated, like say fixas like the the the scroo McDuck thingy what's the name of the the cartoon not the cartoon the story fmas no Christmas Story what's the name of the thing the SN who stole fixas that could also be a good one I got a little lizard doggo with me Ducktails not the one no not the one I was thinking Christmas Carol that's is that the one not Christmas C was, it's possible it is though also r b yeah it is story of EPA Scrooge and, the ghosts and whatnot we need to make that I got a little bit sidetracked here that's essentially St of Dev, update is really close we're going to have more news this week hopefully and if there are no news week this week then something happened that's all going to say, so yeah will you ever post your promo content sa f for the public to play with so I don't think we can because the promo safe F that I use they're tied to the engine version that we have, and most of the time you can't boot the safe Falls outside of the editor that I've been using, they tend to Break, but possibly if I remember to and I can verify that actually worked because we usually put like stuff in the safe house to, help with with filming in the stuff, and that stuff crashes when you load it on the regular save I think technically you can like try and remove it but, sometimes they do be like that yeah that's that's the state of things right now
