Tbh they should have made it even more empty for a game based on "discovering" planets, systems, fauna and flora where there are already bases and travel posts everywhere

New Experimental patch on PC :
Can I still play multiplayer with people who don't have the patch if I install it?
Just got to the base building tutorial. Playing in VR. This is the first time I've played a VR game where you move about freely and it's not made me sick after an hour playing. So I'm not sure why that is but it's good news. Especially as teleporting and snap viewing is not fun at all.
The odd tutorial up till this point was a little confusing. Like press triangle to swap to the terrain tool, unbeknownst to me it's only a change in colour light on the gun that changes. So I'm there pressing triangle and nothing seemed to be happening.
Other than that there's a lot to take in and things going on all over the screen which can get a little overwhelming and messy. I just hope I'm picking it up when I'm left to my own devices as it's throwing lots at you.
Graphically PSVR is serviceable, they are blurry in the distance but it's not distracting from the experience which seems rather smooth going. It's just hard to read the text on researched objects in the menu.

I guess it works, yesterday I used it and there was many players in the hub, so either they all had the update or it's compatible.
Okay thanks! I just want to see if it fixes my jittery graphics.
You know, I was pretty amped for this update. I kinda still am. However I am finding myself not wanting to play very much because of all the housecleaning I have to do first. All my stuff is in storage. Storage needs power. Power needs materials. Everything is full capacity (my suit, my ship, my freighter, so everything is a moving-around slog to get stuff done. I kinda wish I could just go frump around and play ride the beast... maybe I should just forget about my base or whatever. I don't know. Feels like chores.
I kind of hope they release a No Man's Sky Complete edition that has all of the updates thus far patched in.
I bought the original physical release, but I then bought it on sale digitally so I'd always have it installed on my PS4.
It'd be awesome to have all of that content on disc without having to worry about not being able to access it when it becomes a legacy title. Of course, by that point we may just have NMS2, so it wouldn't matter.

my only issue with the VR is after about 5 minutes my whole view is shifted to the left, on PSVR with Pro. Hitting the reset/recalibrate button doesn't do anything. That only sees to re-calibrate in the Z perspective(forward and backward, but doesnt help reshift everything in front of me(left and right). Makes it extremely hard to do anything, cant grab my multitool, cant fly properly, cant traverse properly. cant easily read the UI and menus. It seems to shift more and more, the more I use the inventory.
Only way to fix it is to turn the headset off, then back on. And then it takes a couple minutes for the game to reload my hands in and get back up to speed. And then rinse a repeat the process every 5 mins. Got to be too unbearable after awhile, so went back to the flat version. do we know if any of the updates have fixed this? dont think its my setup because no other vr game has this issue. Anyone know if this issue was fixed in the recent patches last night?
Think I only saw 1 person mention somethign simliar to this yesterday, but havent seen anyone else really talk about it.
Its also probably the most low res blurry VR game I have played. With not great LOD/pop in. was pretty coolthough, but hoping for a Pro patch soon.
yep had this same issue yesterday, paired with my issue above was a slog to get anythign done. And all my rare stuff for upgrading was in my storage. Also could only get one generator made hooked it up to all my storage, but would only power 1 storage unit. Couldn't bother to spend time and resources making more generators to open up more of my storage. Power for storage just seems needlessly tiresome. Not looking forward to dealing with all that.

So I finally made it to the Nexus, only I can't speak to anyone. Once I talked to Nada and Polo it glitches out whenever I try to hold down the square button to talk to Helios or anyone else.
This better not be a game breaker. Takes too much fucking effort to start over in this game.
Edit: Aaaaaand it crashed.

I'm on GOG. I was talking about the game's own shader cache, not the one Steam handles.
Damn. I bought a Rift S just for this but it sounds like I should give it a week or two to get fixed.
I was confident with a 1080 Ti and i7-6700 but seeing people post that performance is abysmal with a 2080 gives me pause.

Yeah the power system feels really unfun and unnecessary in a game where it's already a slog to get shit done sometimes.
Any performance improvement tips for PC? Game is dropping to 35fps constantly from a 60fps lock
I loaded into my save and saw all the work I has to do, then just started a new save. It's fun to see what's changed in the missions, plus I can just say that I'm on a new iteration (16 16 16)!!
Anyone have any luck alleviating the clutter LOD pop in? Short grass popping in around you after a few seconds? Don't remember it ever being this bad. Might switch over to an SSD installation if people are having luck with that. Is it tied to any existing settings or exacerbated by the tessellation?

Perhaps creative mode might help alleviate some of the frustration?
Hmmmm, this game is absolutely eating my RTX 2070's ass. 100% GPU utilization at standard graphics settings and 3440x1440p resolution
The Lore and the story is pretty good, you do have to work for it though.
The ARG based stuff was great too, but it was muddled up in weeks of arg quests and though its all there on the game detectives wiki, its difficult to parse it down to a quick synopses.
I'll check the video later, thanks for posting.
I noticed on my 2080ti at 4K it's rarely at 99%. More like 95% or so.
Perhaps. But I'm disinclined to go that route because I still want to play the standard game. I'm not even mad about all these new things to do. I just wish that the early hours (days) of picking up my game again wasn't such a slog because of the changes.
I think this might've done it, but I swear I saw the message pop up again lol.
It's not the guardian borders that come up, I've got those off. I mean the game itself has a giant pop up that says you're leaving the gameplay area and to hold the left menu button to re-center your view. Thing is it comes up even if I get anywhere below a slight crouch. It's way too sensitive.
No need to delete old bases. Assuming you know the name of the base you'd like as your main you can simply pick it from a list of bases you've made at the teleporter in space stations. You can teleport from there to any base you've claimed in any system.
Awesome, thanks! Saving this for later once I've got stuff and it makes a bit more sense.
You sure you played Skyrim VR and not the base game? Skyrim had head aim with same horizontal aim as NMS.
The controller itself controls the aiming, like Astro Bot. It's pretty accurate.
How do you access the new content?
I haven't played since launch.. so i will start again, do i have to go somewhere or pick some quest?

Jut start a new game. They redid the whole game since launch.
It's not like if they only added an expansion. The Beyond "patch" (as well as a few others before it) completely revamps many aspects of NMS. Just start a new game. You'll notice the differences right away, especially if you didn't play since launch. Beware of the crashes and bugs though. You might want to wait a few days for them to fix things.

I'm the same; sure I'd like it to some extent but never made a save because I like the management/collection side when it's not the few times where it's a complete pain in the ass.
Yes, I played Skyrim VR with traditional controls.
I really hate that sort of aiming.
Holy OT Batman!
gonna go and redownload it. This is a game I have wanted in VR for a long long time, hope its good!

Once I fixed my ship and went in to space good god did VR finally shine. That's some good shit.
Yes. My 1080 Ti is also crying. I had 80 FPS on a planet at 1440p and High everything.
As soon as I landed on a lush planet I had 20 FPS
I don't know which settings to optimize. I might go for 4K@30FPS which is a shame for the space parts
Would be amazing, but I don't think real towns or cities are realistic for a game of that scope. At best there could be empty, static collections of buildings that are just... "there". I don't know if would want that.
The base building tutorial needs be ripped out or changed until after get hyperdrive it kills resets or replays not being able jump straight into exploring
I did some dogfighting yesterday, and I absolutely think the potential for a great spacefighter game is all there. Needs a little more accuracy to the gyro aiming with the Moves, but man it really does add an immense amount of fun and thrill compared to how anemic space battles feel in the flat version. Being able to turn my head and see stuff makes target acquisition and tracking 10000% more immersive and natural and actually incentivizes movement in dogfighting, instead of the best use of the ship being what is essentially a stationary turret in flat mode
Can't you just select a different mission from your Log or whatever and ignore the base building?
I tried elite dangerous a few months back but dropped out after around 10 ours because it is too much Sim for me.
But that alien invasion/war meta game they have going on (I have to admit I don't really follow that too closely) was always fascinating to me. I would really like HG introduce a community wide dynamic meta game like that to NMS. The universe is big enough that every player could choose to get involved with that. Something like an overarching, dynamic alien invasion that develops according to certain community goals could work wonders for me personally to get me more involved with the game and the lore.

Nope, just the first level. It kills my FPS for some reason. Turning it "off" and enabling the driver based one gives me 25ish frames more and no tearing.
No matter what we try, my friends and I can't get this to work. Crashes,not able to join lobby's, nexus not visible for everyone...
Been trying for an hour
