BUG FIXES
Fixed the Railways, Hypertubes and Pipelines visually having incorrect rotation when set via Blueprint This may also fix sinking/incorrectly rotated foundations in some scenarios
Fixed the parachute visuals on conveyor belts or when dropped Fixed the camera for the Factory Cart, it was incorrectly set so it would clip drastically when indoors

KNOWN ISSUES
A reminder for people who have been having issues with unexpected crashes on startup or weird behavior with the game, in that case please try to verify your game files.
You can do this on Steam by Right Clicking the game in your Library > Properties > Local Files > Verify integrity of game files...
And on Epic by clicking on the three dots (“...”) next to the title or at the right side, depending on your selected library view > Manage > Verify Files > Verify
This may or may not redownload a large amount of files which might take a while depending on your internet connection or hard drive speeds so be wary of that.
If you are using mods, they might need to be updated or uninstalled after updating so please keep this in mind too. The first time booting the game will be very slow, but that should not continue to happen after the first boot Game can hang on quit There is major performance loss when running out of VRAM Lights don’t behave correctly in Lumen compared to Signs Factory Animation tick reductions can be slightly too aggressive TSR can cause visual issues with conveyor belts, you can try using the following console command to alleviate the issues, but this will reduce AntiAliasing quality r.TSR.ShadingRejection.Flickering 0
Max FPS option is visually stuck at 0 regardless of selection, the FPS cap does still work however, so this is merely cosmetic The Global Illumination option might show blank and prevent you from changing it if you were using Cinematic before it was removed in yesterday’s update, you can work around this by using the “Reset to Default” button, it should let you change the setting normally afterwards, Do note that this will reset all other Video settings to default
Follow up to this, I had players on all afternoon after v0.8.0.3 released. After everyone verified their local file integrity, crashes seemed to significantly drop. Still had a couple of Nvidia driver failures, but over all it seems to be pretty stable.
