the state of state of things currently is pretty much the same as last week we are working on fixing, some some very, major issues that some people select few have with the game one of which is connectivity issues so last week we pushed to our experimental branch a possible fix to some of the connectivity issues and it did fix a couple of them but the thing with issues specifically when it comes to like multiplayer and stuff like that there's never you know a lot of issues can have the same, what's the word here you may have the same issue but there can be a lot of things causing the same issue so we did fix the connectivity issue for a lot of people but then we notice another issue that kind of results in a similar, not not root cause I was looking for the word whatever move on, thank you so much for the raid so again by the way, symptom that's the word I'm looking for so like you can have the same symptom but it can be very a lot of different reasons why you get the same symptom so this is the case with online a lot and we're still investigating as to why some of you are having connectivity issues, and fun fact there's a few new workarounds for those of you who don't know about this so if you're having connectivity issues if you can't connect your friends either on steam or epic or crossplay or whatever it doesn't really matter we're still using the same system underneath it also it doesn't matter what platform you're playing on it's still the same game and it's still connecting the same way regardless if you're an epic or steam one workaround that some people have had if you're getting to the game and you're connecting and you get like the loading screen you're stuck there for a long time try as a host try like killing all the players in your map you can do that either in the game or you can use like the satisfactory calculator and just delete the players maybe save their their inventory or something, some people have had luck when, when they do that hey jace is in chat look at that wow can't stay away huh can you you know what let's just jase can take over the rest of the stream can I just have jase in the chat here anyway, yeah jace will answer all your hard-earned questions j7 work on the game for like a month or something right now so he's definitely up to speed

anyway what was I talking about connectivity issues right so so some people have had a look when they do that they kill all the players pawns and stuff like that, so try that I guess is is the the thing we can say right now we're still investigating what the cost is we don't know for sure yet but it's it's one of our like it's on the prior
