Satisfactory Network Quality & Bandwidth Guide

Rubber-banding and desync in Satisfactory multiplayer almost always come from incorrect bandwidth settings or low Network Quality. Both the server AND every player must be configured correctly.

⚠️

Server-side settings alone are not enough.

EVERY player must also set their Network Quality to Ultra or rubber-banding persists even after the server is optimized.
