It's getting as hard to keep up with this as it is with all the xEdit development :P

1.57 has been released - There are no separate patch notes for 1.56, I think that update is incorporated in this one. I saw mention of consoles being updated with patch 1.56 but I think that was a roundup of patches they missed which had been released for PC, so possibly 1.56 was consoles only

Anyway, whatever the reason here's our latest patch notes https://www.nomanssky.com/2018/08/next-patch-1-57/

Latest Experimental patch has been up a few days now, I think HG are giving this a lot more time to be tested and have included some very nice fixes.

The game is maturing beyond my expectations, someone has also found food related content in the latest game files too, which would expand survival aspects a bit more if you need to eat, Crab Brain soup with essence of bouncy shroom, cooked on a fragrant gek wind burner (or left out in a superheated storm if you prefer) .. yum.

I have heard that variations in Gravity per planet / moon may be a thing at some point too. Probably not to the extent that would bend your course across a system while using pulse drive, but just to affect how light you are when actually on a planet - So jumping / rockets could end up being dangerous?, we'll have to wait and see but that would be cool.

 

The patch notes mentions they are still on "Highest Priority" fixes, so there are I think many more minor fixes to follow this aswell eventually (hopefully in the next couple of weeks to finish off this overall NEXT update nicely) ..

https://steamcommunity.com/app/275850/discussions/0/1736588252401539352/

I think this should end up being patch 1.58 probably Monday sometime

 

We are continuing to address the highest priority issues reported by the community. As always, thank you for playing the game and taking the time to report any issues you encounter!

Please note that due to the large number of changes in this patch, especially the fixes for save game recovery, there is always the possibility it 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.

Feedback and reports of new bugs/issues being found on Experimental are welcome, so please post them here, or submit a ticket to Zendesk[hellogames.zendesk.com] with the phrase "Steam Experimental 24/08" in the ticket title.

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".

Latest changes on Experimental (24/08):
Added user permissions for multiplayer, on a per-save slot basis. Settings for visibility, damage + base editing can be customised to apply to all players, friends only, or no-one.
Improved the terrain edit saving system, reducing the chance of terrain regenerating. Further improvements to this system are in progress.
Improved the visuals of player starship trails.
Added archaeology missions to the available pool of missions from planetary NPCs.

Fixed an issue that could prevent players with very large save games from saving.
Fixed a number of issues that prevented save games from loading.
Fixed an issue that incorrectly synced information in multiplayer.
Fixed a number of issues that could cause mission markers to be attached to the wrong destination.
Fixed a number of issues around the refiner and general inventory systems. Improved the pick and drop system of inventory management.

Fixed an issue that caused visual glitches in clouds at higher resolutions.
Fixed occasional crash in geometry streaming when exiting planet atmosphere.
Fixed issue where cloud shadows would interfere with reflection rendering.
Improved consistency between tessellated and non-tessellated terrains.
Improved performance when leaving planets.
Various memory savings, improving overall stability.
Various performance optimisations.

Fixed an issue that could prevent players from going through black holes.
Fixed an issue where players were able to warp and get stuck on the other side of a portal.
Fixed an issue where players were able to enter their freighter base when it was not loaded in memory.
Fixed an issue where players could start their game in inappropriate systems when starting in multiplayer.
Fixed an issue that could cause vast numbers of Sentinel Drones to spawn.
Fixed an issue that prevented players with pre-NEXT saves from fully upgrading their Exosuit.
Fixed an issue where freighter crew would change race on warp.
Fixed an issue where player ships could spawn on the same landing pad in multiplayer.
Fixed a number of cases where freighter battles were not correctly synced in multiplayer.
Fixed an issue where players were not able to land on other player's freighters.
Fixed a number of issues affecting the interaction with captains of freighters not owned by the player.
Fixed an issue that caused expedition length, difficulty + rewards to scale incorrectly relative to the power of the player's fleet.
Fixed an issue that caused players to exit their ships / exocraft while tagging a marker.
Fixed an issue where ships landed on freighters to be labelled ON PLANET.
Fixed an issue that caused player ships to have incorrect information when viewed through the Analysis Visor.
Fixed an issue that could cause Sentinels to appear as undiscovered creatures when viewed through the Analysis Visor.
Fixed the axes used to calculate planet coordinates shown on the Analysis Visor.
Prevented players with freighters from warping other players in multiplayer to systems they would get stuck in.
Fixed an issue where the freighter dock lights were not correctly lit/unlit when a save was loaded on a freighter.
Various text fixes.

Thank you,

Found something else, in addition to the next "next" update patch there has been a change apparently not listed in those 1.58 patch notes in the previous post ..

.. Have a read of the following reddit topic noting an adjustment to farming that will be significantly better and make more sense

 

Also not mentioned in the notes, someone playing with experimental installed noticed those droids planted in the fuselage of ships now move

No patch notes on the official site yet, but 1.58 went public today.

Even the GOG manual install files were up quite promptly.

During the experimental phase, experimental had two further updates, but no further notes added to the experimental topic, so we can only assume the patch notes in that topic remained the same for now.

Ah, official site development notes for 1.58 are here

Close on the heels of the last update, internal branch updated again today, so maybe an experimental will get released tonight to be tested by the masses over the weekend and another update sometime next week after a few more adjustments to findings over the weekend ..

.. all is just conjecture of course, but its based on quite a well established pattern of behaviour witnessed so far.

-----------------------------

1.58 meanwhile is performing better than all previous versions for me, I had my doubts after seeing so many reports of bad performance on steam discussions, but I think most of those are not using NVidia.

I think the general consensus is NMS being an OpenGL based game does not do so well with Radeon graphics drivers (or whatever ATI graphics are called these days .. AMD ?, that confuses me because AMD Athlons combined with NVidia graphics used to make the best games machines, maybe they should have taken over NVidia instead of ATI), but maybe also due to mods being installed, not clearing out shadercache or continuing a game throughout beta testing and not going back to the save they are supposed to make prior to beta testing, and then continuing with the full release afterwards ... who knows.

Anyway, imho (ymmv I am on a core 4 I7 with NVidia graphics), its the best patch yet since v1.

Edit : Forgot to mention, Terrain and cave generation in the last few updates has come along very nicely, they have definitely tweaked the procedural maths for the better. My game has come a long way this play through, but I am tempted to restart just one last time before I commit to a long term play through, probably next week now that all the major ironing out has been done .. But then, we dont know if HelloGames may have another huge overhaul at some point in the future followed by many patches again to fix what they have once again upset along the way. Sigh!.

Update : As guessed, Experimental has also now gone live approx' 1910 uk time.

And then 1.59 went a bit downhill in the performance department, time to tweak settings a bit again and hope for better in the next next patch

Update to the Experimental branch, adds few more fixes :

Quote

Experimental Branch update 14/09 applies the following Experimental-only fixes:

  • Fixed an issue where Alien Multi-Tools change stats between 1.59 and 1.60
  • Fixed an issue that caused NPCs to all sound like Vy'keen
  • Fixed an issue that caused the quick menu to open when using arrow keys
  • Fixed an issue that caused base parts to be placed accidentally while navigating the build menu
  • Fixed some missing audio in the Quicksilver shop
  • Fixed a number of issues with some Quicksilver decals
  • Fixed an issue that could cause no dialog options to appear when talking to Nada after finishing the Atlas Path
  • Fixed a crash in region generation

I think NEXT was such a major overhaul they broke quite a lot of things previously fixed in earlier updates .. Must be hard keeping the procedurally generated balancing act going developing this type of game.

I'm just really happy they are still as dedicated to hammering away at the forge as they ever have been.

The Abyss Update, v1.7 is now public :)

https://www.nomanssky.com/abyss-update/

 

 

 @Arthmoor This is a really nice update, there are quite a few fixes not listed in the patch notes too for this, not least of which is the ability to get your head above water when swimming, and after diving when you come back to the surface target the underside of your hovering Nomad and you can get onboard it from below. Then continue zooming around the surface looking for more swimming creatures.

You can also see the swimming creatures under the surface now, from the comfort of the Nomad, anything not familiar you think needs scanning for the discoveries .. Jump out and go for a swim :) 

Some of the quirks with Frigates have also been fixed - Its all starting to feel real nice, but HG are still going to be pounding away at it .. As the woman in the video says there's more to come.

The new quest starts after you complete the Artemis story .. Or so I gather from Reddit posts anyway.

Man, they've been updating at a mad pace, and now there's even more new content to play around with? Gonna have to fire up my save again soon and see what all is going on :P

Well, they are seemingly at it again, the following video has been found by a redditor on You Tube, but it looks genuine (even though there is no update on the depots yet, the uploader is HelloGames so I think we can assume its preparations for the next release) ..

Looks cool. Hopefully some new bugfixes come along with that too. Been having a few random UI issues where things aren't working right. Would also be nice if the teleport gate list would show you what system your freighter is in at the time.

Yes I'm hoping for a fair few bugs being squashed aswell, they are nearly on top of them. The Visions video mentions the update to be version 1.75, and we are currently at 1.71, so there's room for a few more bug fixing patches before visions gets released.

Good idea being able to see where your Freighter is on the teleport list, they already map where it is along with where your frigates are when they are on missions on the Galactic map, so the location data must be accessible easily for them to add it to the list ..

Yees!, thats my 6 remaining bugs fixed among those. No doubt there will be a few more brought along with the new stuff .. I'm tempted to start a fresh game to see what else I can catch along the way - Means losing an S Class fighter, A Class Multitool and Freighter, all fully kitted out with S Class upgrades, but its worth it to help them nail everything.

HG have now fixed all of my outstanding reports. :D

Aaand NipNip Blue Prints are working again :D :D .. My Farmer kept offering the Blue Print, but I didn't receive it from him.
