Experimental Branch 18/08

[Hello Games]

Hello everyone,

First of all, thanks so much to everyone who has already spent time playing BEYOND 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 seen since release. 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. Enter “3xperimental” in the textbox and press “CHECK CODE”, then select it from the dropdown menu.

The patch notes are as follows:

Update to Experimental Branch 18/08

• Fixed a networking issue that could cause bad data to be synced between ambient players.
  
• Fixed a compatibility issue with a specific revision of nVidia drivers.

As always, thank you to all players who use Experimental and take the time to report any issues you encounter.

Please note there is the possibility that experimental builds may introduce new issues that haven't been caught in test. We'd like to recommend that all players back up their save files, by making a local copy of the st_[userid] folder found here: %appdata%\HelloGames\NMS\

Note that we don't anticipate any issues here. However, performing your own backups could mean the difference between resuming play immediately, or waiting for the next patch.

If you decide to opt out of experimental and return to the main branch, we strongly recommend resuming from a backed-up save from the main branch, rather than taking an experimental branch save back to main, which may cause unexpected behaviour.

Feedback and reports of new bugs/issues being found on Experimental are welcome, so please reply to this thread or submit a ticket to https://hellogames.zendesk.com/ with the phrase "Steam Experimental" in the ticket title. If you are running any mods for the game, please list them along with your bug report.

Weekend Warriors!

Thank you.

Please fix Mineral Industrial Extraction and please let us place power / Industrial as portables so we don't have to place 100's of items towards the Nodes to extract!

[HerrUnglaublich]

Thank you for the constant fixes.
Now if you could somehow make the game work in Linux again (with reasonable performance) that would be amazing!

[Gusy]

can we get a performance update?

[Castor Troy]

Terminal workers still float many feet below where they should be sitting in beyond. I have an original save that has been upgraded over time.

Also, planters don't appear to work? How do you power those?

How do you power a "basic" building? There are no specific slots to lock the power generator into and simply placing it in the base doesn't seem to power it.

STIL THE GAME DOESNT LAUNCH ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!

[dгдтёя]

Getting the bases and freighters back should be top priority

[Caveman]
