I don't own the game yet so I'm sorry if this is a stupid question: is the mutiplayer world persistent to where any member of the 4 person team can jump on at any time and continue playing the same team game?
I have some friends in very different time zones who I'd like to play this with. We can play together sometimes but it's nice to hop on and progress our team game even at times when those friends can't play.

Edit: and can said friends jump on and progress the team game when I'm not around, etc.

Did I miss somewhere where they stated when the PC release was going to go live, or are they blowing smoke up their own asses?

Apparently the PS4 version has hosed up clouds so they're desperately trying to fix it for the steam version

But that's hearsay so whoo knoooows

They're blowing smoke up their own asses and trying to divine what's going on from reading whatever data they can extract from Steam. No PC release date was given beyond "today".

Did you start in survival mode? Normal mode games should put you right next to your ship, survival should at least give you a nav point but it may be several miles away.

Unless they've changed this in Next. If it gave you an objective, try doing that and see if locating your ship happens a few steps after.

There's going to be an icon at the top of the HUD pointing towards your ship. That sounds like a change because in all the other updates you spawned right next to it.

Just follow the tutorial (the messages on the bottom right of your screen).

edit : Yes, this changed now. You start a few miles further and you have to follow the tutorial to know where it is.

There's a few crash reports on the NMS Reddit and I experienced one within a few minutes of starting an old save. They might be working to patch something for real.

Wooow this is unplayably sluggish, I think I'm getting 15fps max with everything down to as low as it will go.

Runs fine as long as I only look up or down though!

I'd wait for the patch to drop before you refund, it might improve things. Probably not but you never know.

I’m on ps4pro and it seems to be running ok. The only slowdown was when I started terrain mining.
I did experience some weird artifacting in the distance while flying around a planet in third person.

I see nothing wrong with the clouds on PS4 except maybe that they move too fast but they move that fast in all the videos I've seen so it's obviously intentional

Yeah, I almost wish the clouds would slow down and move more realistically because they seem like they'd be a distraction right now.

I got an 'F' in Geometry.
I just had five minutes of loading shaders. I fear how shadey this will be.

I'm surprised at the number of tweaks - I loaded up an existing save and half my upgrades were replaced by "obsolete technology" and all the elements seem to have changed name - not sure if they're used the same as their replacements but for example the little yellow zinc plants are now sodium rich plants. The warp cell recipe is slightly different as well. Everything looks noticably better too. Not drastically, but just everything seems a bit cleaner. Liking the new terrain generation as well, seems much more varied just on the one planet I've landed on so far. While I was landing I saw a massive sinkhole with a lake at the bottom.

Seems pretty good so far.

I woke up on a planet that was killing me with radiation before the framerate was so low that I was getting a headache watching it.

Old certainly but I've never yet run into a game that ran this poorly except for the new doom, and that's a really nice looking game. I'm supposedly well above the minimum requirements so gently caress only knows what they run like.
