Items flicker on conveyor belts

[Ash]

Hi all,

Items of conveyor belt flicker randomly like a faulty lightbulb....
They appear and disappear like 10 times per second.

I tried it in vanilla (without mods) - still happens
Verified game data via Steam - still happens
I tried basically all combinations in Video setting of the game, with no result...

Is anybody else experiencing this issue?

Yes... I have the same issue.
The materials are also stuttering.

And I thought it was only my PC… Happening the same to me

Capping the frames at 60 does help a lot for me.
It is a lot better now.

Lucky you.... I tried all possible combinations within the game settings and nvidia driver settings, but without any improvement. Tried reinstall, SSD vs HDD, modded, vanilla....
I played almost all big updates and this is the first broken for me (stable branch).

My FPS are always capped, but still doesn't help with the issue

I have seen this as well. I don't think it is a video problem but a bug in how the belts are displayed. A couple of issues were reported on Satisfactory QA:

Thank you, at least it is good to know, that I am not alone, but 2 threads in past 2 months with just 6 votes in total will not get the devs attention at all :/
I guess I have to reinstall game and update drivers every month or so and hope for the best.
If I find solution, I'll post it here.

Did you find solution, I have same problem, tried everything to no avail.

[Ash]

Unfortunatelly, no. Just re-tested last week with different card. Before with 1660S and now with RXT 3070, latest drivers, but the issue is completely same.
On one hand, I'm glad that I am not the only one, on the other hand, it sucks that more of us cannot enjoy this gem of a game.
If I ever find the rootcause, I'll post it here.

I have exactly the same problem, tried everything i could, nothing worked.

One thing i noticed is, long belts seem to trigger the glitch more often. Also, belt that are full (say, a 120/min output on a 120/min belt) glitches much more often than underloaded ones (say 30/min output on a 120/min belt).
On belts at capacity or overloaded, the items stutters and tries to clip into each other.

Happening to me as well. 13700k/ 3080ti/64mb DDR4 3600. Frames capped at 144 to match monitor.

it's experimental. It wasn't long ago that having items on belts at all was new and exciting. I am not smart enough to discuss the science of curves but there's a lot of extra room in them and the belt is calculating items ina straight line. Sometimes they clip but its a visual issue only. Surely to be tweaked before 1.0.

Hi Zen, this is on stable branch, not experimental. That's why is suck for me :/
Devs, I believe, try to cover all bugs/glitches of an Update # before moving forward to next Update (starting starting experimental branch).

[Huren Ogeko]

There is an experimental branch. its not out to us yet. but they always put updates out on the experimental branch before opening it up to the early access users.

Mám dva PC co mají úplně stejný problém... a to ještě rok zpátky jelo všechno krásně stabilně na Ultra bez problémů.
