Game is choppy (if anyone has figured out what setting might alleviate that, let me know), otherwise good. I'm very excited to dive in once things are smoothed out.

The core gameplay hasn't changed and flying with KBAM is still obnoxious. Guess I need to keep a controller plugged in. Also the Remap Controls screen does nothing. Can't remap and doesn't even tell you the current controls. Might just start a new game and use a save editor to give myself full slots and upgrades, finding a tool with one extra slot for 100k space bucks isn't interesting or fun at all.

For all ya'll with choppy performance, have you looked to see if the game is running with the Vulcan renderer? Or is that automatic now and you get no choice between it and OpenGL?

I wish I could play but the flight controls with a mouse suck and my xbox controller doesn't work at all. Probably something to do with the steam controller settings that they mandated on everyone and you have no way to turn off.

Maybe you can disable the Steam overlay in-game and your Xbox controller will work? Edit: I've also had issue where games wouldn't take input from my Xbox controller if I had another controller, like a HOTAS, plugged in at the same time. Maybe unplug any additional controllers you have if you have any.

Does the DS4 work on Steam? I picked this up on Steam this morning, but I could get it for PS4 instead if it's got a bunch of issues.

I have to do that with all my games now to get the controls to work with my xbone controller.

Initial impressions of the GOG version: -Not noticed any performance hit -Anomaly looks pretty -Motion blur, ugh. That got turned off quickly -Where's my base landing pad gone? -Oh god everything in my base needs power, including storage, my appearance modifier, and trade point. It'll take an age to wire this all up

They seem to have gone and mapped some huge complex thing in the steam controller settings by default and they don't work. So instead of A button being an A button and the game saying okay you hit the A button it instead says this button confirms menus or whatever. Except none of it works.

The new Anomaly is beautiful, but my frame rate loving tanked in there, from 144fps to 12. What the gently caress? Also, the game crashed within seconds of loading my save in VR. So much for that. Performance in VR looks to be absolute poo poo.

Updating drivers and doing a full restart did improve performance, but I'm hoping things still get smoothed out significantly from here. Is there a way to change the 'turn your right hand while teleporting to turn' mechanic?

haveblue posted:All landing pad parts were redone to accommodate the ship rescale. Fixed pads (stations, trading posts) were redesigned, player-built pads were deleted and you should have received a resource refund somehow. Are the new pads physically larger than the old ones? Several of my bases were built up around multiple pads and the spacing between them so it'd be kind of a nuisance if I have to rebuild everything else to fit them back in. chaosapiant posted:Has anyone thoroughly explored the content in the Abyss update? I haven't played since Next dropped last year and I'm excited to explore the oceans with my big ol sea sub. I want to find myself a nice pearl of a paradise planet maybe on a beach somewhere with soft waves lapping the shore. Little fury dick monsters walking around and just being in nature. I did everything in the Abyss update when it came out. It's kind of neat though the sub handles even more janky than other exocraft in it's own ways and I wish more of the all glass base parts could be used above sea level. The biggest disappointment though is that oceans deeper than like 50 feet are really really rare in the NMS universe.

The Anomaly is the hub where other people can join your game so if you have ambient multiplayer enabled your frame rate will tank (probably because their servers are under stress right now). I turned it off and everything went smooth (though it went empty and all the waving strangers left  )

Ships are like 50% bigger than they were pre-Beyond because VR players have to actually fit in the cockpit now, I'd guess any layout that involves stuff on more than 2 sides of a pad is going to have to be redone.

Gave it another three or so hours with a new game on PSVR and though there are some things that take getting used to, eventually it worked great. Still blurry as hell but I was kind of expecting that and like with most VR games you eventually adjust to it and accept it. Only had a couple of bugs like certain button prompts showing a yellow warning triangle instead of the button, my right hand turning invisible after an appearance change and some bits of text showing strings like %PLANET_ANIMAL% and stuff. And for some reason I can't seem to be able to upload my discoveries. Flying is super fun though, all you need to do with the stick is move your wrist a bit, it's super responsive. And using the throttle feels more like a gear shifter than an actual throttle and I got to a point where I could flip it without looking and pull off all kinds of crazy maneuvers without breaking a sweat. Doing barrel rolls never gets old either. The QOL stuff is really nice too, so many things I never even thought I'd needed. It's still janky, it's still No Man's Sky for better or worse but I'm having a lot of fun with it.

I'm sure everyone is completely aware of this, but I'll say it anyway; Verify your game cache before starting For some reason large updates usually fail and verifying the game cache re-syncs everything.

I tried VR again and it's pretty great, however the flight controls with the virtual stick and throttle are absolutely terrible. Does the game support HOTAS set-ups? Last I checked it didn't support Direct Input, only Xinput.

 All those PC-problems sound like the devs optimized the game for PS4 or something, 'cause my 30 minute testrun today went of smoothly.The only thing annoying me was adding another button to scanning. Until today I didn't even realize there wasn't a button for scanning, because I always zoomed in and held the zoom button when scanning, so I just assumed scans only started and continued if I held the zoom-button pressed. So my dumbass explorer was staring a full minute at different plants today, trying to get her scanner to work. Then I finally noticed the little helper message on the right telling me which button I need to press for scanning and truth dawned on me Other than that, no problems or crashes. Makes me feel guilty honestly, after reading about so many people having trouble with this patch.

Last I checked it didn't support Direct Input, only Xinput. Does it support Xinput in VR at all? I thought it was tracked motion controllers only. If it supports controllers in VR, I'll use my janky Chinese VR headset and give it a shot.

I just got to the bit where you first visit the Anomoly, and it seems like everything in the game, base parts, decorations, exocraft etc is unlockable from there...does this mean I don't have to do those stupid 'base assistant' missions to get my grubby hands on some exocraft?! It sure looks like it. They've fixed all of my main problems with the game with this update. I just wish it didn't crash every 30 minutes.

Since I can't play the game, I have been reading other people's bug posts, and it is pretty amusing. Apparently freighters are all kinds of hosed up for a ton of people right now, with invisible walls and holes in the floor. It seems that in the quest for QoL improvements that HG removed the upload all button for discoveries? Certain starships suddenly missing parts of their body (like wings or fins) after the update.

Oh god. I built my first new base on a pretty flat mesa, thinking "good building site." Only to realize that meant "no building MATERIALS" arrrgh I should have built it in the center of the forest. I'm partially iffy on bases needing power now. It seems like it's not too much of a problem to manage (I've played Subnautica before) but not being able to just plop down a teleporter and call it a day... shame. But the base schematics unlocker thingy now works on a visible tech tree which is very very good.

Drone posted:On my very first reroll my ship and I spawned in a deep valley surrounded on all sides by unscalable cliff faces. And the quest objective that would give me the parts to repair my launch thrusters was outside this area. So I was forced to reroll the save. If you come across areas like this, there's a way out. If you're pressed right up against a wall, you can jetpack straight up it and it won't use any fuel, so you can go as high as needed. As long as the wall is most vertical it works fine. I remember the game used to give you that info in a pop-up sometimes but maybe when you're only already right by the wall? Not sure what would trigger it.
