These are notes from September 26 experimental update:
Fixes to internal mission logic
Improved translation in various places

But the line "Fixes to internal mission logic" can't be found anywhere in public release notes.

Maybe HG rolled back this micro update before going public because people on experimental reported several issues after downloading it, like getting all missions reset.

If that's the case, then (at worst) we didn't get some improved translations that will be there the next update anyway.

Quite pissed off about the whole affair tough.

I have read posts on two other forums indicating that Steam users received the September 26th (26 September for most of the world's population) changes in experimental that you noted above. I don't believe that the console versions can receive experimental due to the required approval process on those platforms.

Large Update on experimental. As usual, copied and pasted from Steam because we are not worthy:

•Added a new Exocraft, the Pilgrim. Purchase the blueprints for the Pilgrim Geobay from a Blueprint Analyser.

Some nice changes; thanks for sharing. :)

Latest one or two experimental updates seems to have caused a serious frame drop issue. My rig has GTX 1080 and 32GB of RAM. it ran this game flawlessly before the last two updates.
The frame drops occur (mostly) when on planet surface, and doing several things at once (terrain manipulation while moving for instance) - or if there is a storm (multiple particles?).
Something in the game's graphic engine got screwed.
Please repair this.

Thanks.

Hello Games does not participate in this forum and is unlikely to even read anything posted here. You can try submitting a bug report to Hello Games through Zendesk, hellogames.zendesk.com. For that matter, the main page of the No Man's Sky webpage no longer lists GOG as a reseller ad instead diverts people to Steam or one of the console distributors.

Another experimental update today with notes copied and pasted from the preferred distributor for PC:


Latest changes on Experimental (02/10):

•Fixed an issue where the Race Initiator was unavailable for purchase at the Blueprint Analyser

•Fixed a performance issue with terrain generation

•Fixed an issue where Geobays could only be built on terrain

•Fixed an issue where players would be ejected into the roof of their freighter when exiting tall Exotic starships

Baring any surprises, this should drop on Thursday along with the next Community Event. Should be interesting.

I see they've added lat/lon display in the ships. Now I'll need to add another tab to the NMS spreadsheet. ;-)

Thanks for the help. I'm trying some of the tips they offer there before I submit any bug reports :)

Are there any news that GOG Multiplayer is int the pipeline or is it dead at this point?

New experimental release today but apparently only for Steam. They did the same thing last week where one of the experimental releases wasn't distributed to GOG purchasers.

This I would keep posting on the Zendesk honestly. I already have my request in since a long time. No repsonse though.
The official 1.63 just went live on GOG

Shortly after 1.63 landed a new update to experimental followed which added settings to enable/disable tessellation and set the graphics option (high, medium or low) if enabled. No other changes were listed.

Graphics performance took a huge hit with the enabled so I disabled it. I also did not notice much of any effect with having tessellation enabled but only let the game run for three minutes before deciding to disable.

New updates on Experimental copied and pasted from steam. Not sure if this includes weekly missions or not.

Latest changes on Experimental (10/10):
•Fixed an issue where items could fail to display in the Quicksilver shop.

•Fixed an issue where Community Research missions could be given deadlines in the distant future.

•Fixed an issue where players could get trapped when getting out of some ship types.

•Fixed an issue where players could fail to be given the blueprints for Hydroponic Trays.

•Fixed an issue where players could fail to be given the blueprints for the plants required by the Farmer.

•Fixed an issue where players could fail to learn the Circuit Board blueprint at the correct time.

•Fixed an issue where NPC missions might return to a building that had no NPCs in them.

•Fixed an issue where players could fail to learn the Glass blueprint at the correct time.

•Fixed an issue where players could fail to learn the Frigate Fuel blueprints at the correct time.

•Missions from the Mission Board or planetary NPCs will now display their mission title on the Galaxy Map instead of their current objective, to help manage destinations when multiple missions are active.

These two were very annoying. Good that they fixed them.
