Satisfactory on Win ARM64

[jejeswiss]

Hi all

Is there a way to run Satisfactory on Winows 11 ARM64 (Surface Pro 11, Qualcom X). Game just crashes during startup.

Regards JejeSwiss

Pretty sure your PC is below minimum specs anyway.

Think the ARM64 CPU is not supported, and I have no idea how to fix that. You can try the QA website and make a post about you problem

No, someone asked them on the stream about ARM support for the Dedicated Server and they said there were no plans for ARM support.

There are only 3 things that prevent games from running on Windows ARM.

1. Driver based DRM.
2. Driver based Anticheat.
3. Mandatory AVX usage.

1 and 2 will soon be banned by Microsoft. Number 3 requires Microsoft to update their x86 emulator to support AVX instructions. Linux already did this for over a year.

Does this mean Denuvo will finally bite the dust? Or is it not driver based?

Not to mention the graphics performance of that typewriter. It's just made for office work, and that's all it can handle. Sorry.

To be clear, it is this you want to play Satisfactory on? https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/surface/devices/surface-pro-11th-edition

No, this is not true.
It is a fabrication that some uninformed youtubers claims. What microsoft is doing is create more robust checks for external kernel modules (drivers) in the aftermath of croudstrike, but kernel level anticheat is not going away like a lot of people WANT to believe.
Simply not true and will not happen, sadly...

Also, an arm architecture is completely different from an x64, you can't just run x64 software on it, you would have to recompile the entire application (or have a transition layer somehow, and to my knowledge, that does not exist easily on windows, unless you want to try to get something like box64 or similar to work), and without the source code, well, good luck with that.

What the OP could do though, is have another more powerful computer run the game and then try to use steamlink or some other way to make the laptop a thin client.
But that's about it.

Crap. I was excited for a while that this garbage will go away.

yes it is ;-) It's not soo bad. Davinci Resolve works quite well on it (GoPro 4k Video Editing).
I don't want to play the game at ultra, 4k and 120fps ;-) Low Quality would be fine on this device...

That device is not for gaming and certainly not for this game. You are below minimum specs and you, most importantly, lack any kind of dedicated GPU.

So I'll try steam link over VPN and run the game on the desktop PC

Have there been any updates on Coffee Stain Studios' end? ARM64 is not going to go away - quite the opposite. The Snapdragon Oryon and Apple M4 are insanely capable cores, so more and more enthusiasts will make the switch from any x86-64 based crap.

Look at the minimum specs. If you are below it, it is a no. No matter if ARM or not.

Not with that attitude!
