They show a sneak peek of the functionalities they are working on.

Thanks for the heads up! Didn't know it was out already.

Strange as my copy updated to 1.59 yet none of the changes are there...

Yep, noticed the same thing, the stuff they say is in the update isn't. Total BS, like when the game came out.

I haven't had the time to play NMS lately even though I've updated the game to 1.59. If what you guys are saying is true, oh lordy, lordy, lordy. No bueno. Really messed up to say the least.

The linked page from NMS HQ includes items in 1.59 as well as things they're "currently working on." So, no surprise that they're not in 1.59.

I guess with enough complaints about "but this thing isn't in release x.xx" they'll learn their lesson and stop giving previews of comming features.

It's a development update, the changelog for 1.59 is only at the bottom of the page.

Fair enough, thanks.

I see. Thanks for the clarification!

Here's what they're currently working on for the next NEXT update (note this is on the experimental branch and not yet released as a patch):

I just posted a question about updating without GOG Galaxy. I ended up downloading the whole 1.59 thing and was ready to install, but I noticed something funny about the file names.

setup_no_mans_sky_1.58g_(23493).exe
setup_no_mans_sky_1.58g_(23493)-1.bin
setup_no_mans_sky_1.58g_(23493)-2.bin
setup_no_mans_sky_1.58g_(23493)-3.bin

There is no 1.59 in there... ?
