Satisfactory 1.2 Experimental Hotfix v1.2.2.2 Notes (19th May 2026)

Another small hotfix for Satisfactory's 1.2 Experimental branch, targeting blocked inputs, Custom Colors, and a handful of controller and Creative Mode bugs.

Blocked inputs are one of those bugs that feel minor until they happen mid-session and suddenly you can't interact with anything. Coffee Stain has been chasing this one down across the 1.2 Experimental branch, and v1.2.2.2 takes another swing at it, specifically after using a portable miner or setting up train timetables.

Beyond that, Custom Colors failing to save in the Customizer gets a fix here, which anyone doing detailed factory aesthetics will appreciate more than the patch note suggests. God Mode disabling itself after entering Photo Mode also gets sorted, along with equipment turning invisible when resetting Photo Mode settings. Small stuff individually, but the kind of session-breaking annoyances that stack up fast on a long build.

On the quality-of-life side, there's a new "Remember Snapping Toggle" option under Accessibility, so your last snap mode persists when you close and reopen the Build Menu. I'd call that overdue. The update also includes localisation refreshes across all languages. The complete notes are below.
