Crashed 4 times in 30 minutes

Never had any issues running game on decent PC. There is a lot of stability issues with new update.

They increased the minimum system specs with update 8. They go thue this in the dev video about update 8. It could be your on the lower end of spec now.

More than likely your hardware requirements and or drivers not updated and or a software conflict. Satisfactory update 8 is actually super stable and hasn't crashed once on my PC or my spouses or any of my friends.

The following solves 90% of problems for Steam purchased games:

Step 1: Use the Steam option to check the integrity of your files.
Step 2: Upgrade your video card drivers to the latest.
Optional Step 3: Check your drive health. Google for windows tools to do that, or be lazy like me and buy Stablebit's Scanner app (I think it was around $35), and configure it to email you when it detects a problem. It saved me from a few potential disasters. If you are on a desktop... their DrivePool app (I think it comes bundled) is a little gem that is not succeptible to motherboard failures like RAID. I have been using it for almost a decade and I would never build a desktop without using it.

$29.95 actually.
I've bookmarked their page, I love extremely handy software that is priced reasonably.
I'm really interested in that Drive Pool App.

Stop using Hard Drives. Seriously. Stop.

Agreed, I use a redundant drivepool of SSDs. But I recognize that some people don't have money for SSDs or nVMI, and there are even some valid uses for hard drives (like a NAS, as a "rest of your life" long term storage array).

Lucky you, we are having multiple crashes a day, Usually when auto saving or building high.
The game locks for a few seconds then crashes to desktop with the UE5 error box.
5 different machines all with updated drivers, OS and well above sys reqs.
there are to many variables in the PC space to say its going to be stable for everyone, even if you take out the people that have no clue how to optimise and keep PC updated.

Before U8, maybe 1-2 crashes in total playtime. Ever since U8: I have been crashing like every ten minutes, almost without fail while building long ladders and corner blocks. Often I can replicate this with the same operation within seconds of reloading the save game ...(I am now saving before any 'risky' build attempt)

For anyone affected I highly recommend checking out the known issues videos and acting on the advice. U8 has far higher requirements than before.

Working with this I am still in a testing and troubleshooting phase (my computer probably does not meet min spec for U8+), but I have managed to prevent (I think) ~90% of the crashing issues I am having. More news when I complete testing.

Update 7 and 8 never crashed for me.

Only 2 crashs were as client on Fenix's dedicated "Indifferent Broccoli" server. One of these two crashs was related to using a hypertube cyclotrone. The devs mentioned that it's not good working as client.

I'm running Alienware Auora R13 should be more than enough to run the game. The game runs smoothly for like 20 minutes then just crashes to desktop.

Using I7-12700F processor and RTX 360i card. Think its more a optimisation issue and hopefully will get patched soon.

Optimization is performance. Performance is not really crashes, its more like stuttering and hanging and things like that.

Alienware Aurora r13 is not a physical component that makes your computer run better. That is the name of a PC you bought.

Lets be real though. You listed 12700F and RTX 3060ti. I have a computer with the same those two particular units and it does not crash.

Crashing typically happens when, you check your "Windows event viewer" and you have errors there.

I would recommend updating drivers, check background running applications that could be causing conflicts in "Task Manager" as well as "Services" and things like that.

I must repeat on a serious level, crashing to desktop is extremely rarely the fault of the client. Its usually the system and or the software running on the system that runs the client. (client being the game)

Edited: Unless you are playing the title "Halo - MCC". Those games crash all the time. :(

P.S. your processor and video card can run this game at 1080p maxed graphics no problem with no frame drops if your computer is set up correctly and you have at least 32gb ram.

There are games being released in 2023 where having 32 GB will make a difference over 16 GB, but this isn't one of them.

Satisfactory uses 4 - 5 GB of RAM and plays fine on a 8 GB system, although 16 GB helps a little by having extra room to cache frequently used game files from disk.

However, most people have tons of stuff running on their pc in the background and most arent experts so having the 32GB is typically todays standard. just saying.

It's not like when someone turns on their pc the only thing that is running is the game of their choice. usually people got discord, youtube, and tons of other tabs etc etc etc and things going on. Applications for keyboard control, mouse control, antivirus, yada yada.

It's quite a joke to run on minimum 16GB especially considering RAM is the cheapest component of a PC. I could not even imagine an 8GB pc. That would mean they probably have an HDD or buy into the scheme of Apple. LOL

Nobody needs "at least 32gb ram" to play Satisfactory. Just saying, to borrow the phrase.

Your imagination seems to be quite limited.

The most common amount of system RAM in systems used to play Steam games is 16 GB, followed by 32 GB and then by 8 GB-- as of Oct 2023. That represents 90% of the hardware in the survey, and no other amount of RAM has more than ~2%.

I'm running Satisfactory with my Core2Duo E8400 on a P5Q with 4GB DDR2 and a 750 Ti..
I've rarely crashed before, but now it happens once every 20 minutes when building.
The really boring thing is i need 8-10 minutes to restart the game, very slow loading with my old PC.
But, it is possible to run that game and almost everything with old stuff :)
