NEXT Experimental Build

[Hello Games]

Hello everyone,

First of all thanks so much to everyone who has already spent time playing NEXT and letting us know about any issues you’ve experienced. It’s overwhelming to watch thousands of players begin or continue their journey across the universe.

Steam users are able to opt-in to the Experimental Branch, where we have pushed a rapid patch to fix a number of crashes and other problems around save upgrading. We’ll be rolling out these fixes to other platforms as soon as possible.

To play in Experimental, right-click on No Man’s Sky from the Steam library page and select “Properties”. Among the available tabs will be the “BETAS” tab. Select “Code: 3xperimental” in the dropdown menu under “Select the beta you would like to opt into”.

Issues fixed on Experimental:

• Fixed a crash in creature routines
  
• Fixed a crash when multiple players put ammunition into a refiner
  
• Fix for occasional crash when receiving mission rewards
  
• Fix for crash when adjusting anisotropic filtering settings in the graphics options menu
  
• Fix for potential crash in geometry streaming
  
• Improvements to texture caching for AMD GPUs
  
  
• Fixed an issue where some players still had physical nanites in their inventory that could not be spent at vendors
  
• Granted players nanites when they dismantle their Obsolete Technology - spend nanites on new upgrades in Space Stations
  
• Added a tutorial mission to guide players through the restoration of their old base
  
• Fixed an issue where players were unable to build Frigate Terminals in Creative Mode
  
• Fixed an issue where S-Class ships changed appearance
  
• Fixed an issue where players were unable to build the Base Cache on their freighter to retrieve compensation for the loss of their freighter base

Fixed an issue where some Exosuit technology was not converted to Obsolete Technology. Please note this does not apply retroactively to save games that have already been upgraded.
Improved the mapping of old substances to new substances during the save upgrade. Please note this does not apply retroactively to save games that have already been upgraded.

We will continue to listen and respond to bug reports on both main and experimental.

Thank you,

Hello Games.

Hello, I updated the game today and I'm playing the "next" update and going on the NPC of the missions and clicking to abandon the missions my game closes. Sometimes I managed to quit some missions but out of nowhere the game closes.

Bug: Two players (steam friends) can't invite each other thru steam, can't join (not even from ingame menus). Only reason he was able to join because we were in the same system previously. Problem is, we only see each other as Orbs. We cant see each other's ships, bases etc.

Great update, and thanks for continuing to support the game. I think now a focus should be on performance. I don't think low 40s is acceptable for a 1070, and it's been like this since launch. It kinda makes the game painful to play

today - new +2.7 GB update

How about a dedicated key for switching between 3rd and 1st person mode?
