Another patch today.
Update to Experimental Branch 08/04
Fixed an issue which could cause weather, Sentinel activity and a number of other planet stats to change.
Fixed an issue that caused Minotaur upgrade modules to be missing from the Exocraft technology shop aboard the Space Station.
Just to inform everyone, these updates have been pushed to the public branch as well. Both default and 3xperimental are currently equal.
Yep. That finally fixed my âaccursoredâ problem.
Really stormy planets still induce cursing though.
New 3xperimental build available (PC Steam)
Is anyone else having some decals fail to render?
Yes. Canât recall exactly but some some surfaces âsucked upâ my decals. Deleting the object revealed the decal floating behind sometimes. Some sort of layer fault.
Experimental Branch 10/04
Hello Everyone,
First of all, thanks so much to everyone who has already spent time playing No Manâs Sky and letting us know about any issues youâve experienced.
Steam users are able to opt-in to the Experimental Branch, where we have pushed a patch to address some problems. Weâll be rolling out these fixes to other platforms as soon as possible.
To play in Experimental, right-click on No Manâs Sky from the Steam library page and select âPropertiesâ. Among the available tabs will be the âBETASâ tab. Enter â3xperimentalâ in the textbox and press âCHECK CODEâ, then select it from the dropdown menu.
The patch notes are as follows:
Experimental Branch Update 14/04
Fixed a crash when scanning Frigates with the Visor.
Fixed a rare crash that could occur when interacting.
Still no power since the storms. 
No word on when it will return
(sigh) Still no connectivity to the servers.
I am on PC 
yeah noticed it in last nightâs gameplay - however the one change seemed to be it pulled through the Community events reward Tiers progress which previously had not happened due to the services being offline.
I have found while in game if i disconnect my network/lan and then start up/reestablish the connection it connects to online discovery services for about 1min or so then disconnects allowing enough time to get a sync. I have tried doing this multiple times during a game session and seems to work everytime
So im not sure that its in the Game and in HG control.
My one theory is that it is server side or the platform services eg Steam not persisting the user/gamer connection. It has to do with too many concurrent connections due to the global stay at home lockdown [either for NMS but more likely due to ALL gameplay routing through the platform eg Steam/Xbox/PS4] - in my work in IT/Software I have seen this happen on other systems, it can also be due to server /network load balancers and other server components managing persistent DB connections.
Again might be wrong and it could be a bug introduced during the Minotaur update.
Some movement on the Steam Internal version. Hopefully Experimental will be sometime soon.
I donât know too much about Steam as I dont game on PC much. I understand the reason for the experimental branch, but what does it mean when it says âinternalâ? I tried to look it up briefly but nothing came up.
My understanding is limited. I think that it performs as a Steam test environment for the developers. When things look good and theyâre ready, then they can move it to Experimental.
Itâs a branch thatâs not accessible to the public. It serves multiple purposes, not the least of which being testing your deployment package before releasing, and also to give your testers convenient access to the latest build.
Ah I see. So its a developer thing. Not exactly a steam thing. Cool. Means theres something cooking.
It does mean it will likely come to 3xperimental next where we who dare will curse and swear as we ooooh and aaahhh in the coolness of what is coming once we call out the bugs and hope for a smooth update for others. 
In that case, feel free to drop spoilers for me. Lol. I want to know if I should take a day off work or not when the day of release becomes official. Assuming there is a date and not a surprise drop.
I decided long ago to put up with âoopsâ in 3xperimental versions so that I could test it and provide early input when needed. I enjoy helping make software better.
Replaced networking backend
Uhm⌠Couldnât they be a bit more specific? That sounds like a rather drastic changeâŚ
