No no. All 3xperimental ppl are in sync. We just occassionally are out of sync with everyone else, 
.
I remember the good ole days of game breakage in the old MP which was not really MP. Mostly, those issues are gone. The only issue I have noticed in the new MP is bases not fully generating for all. I donāt think any of those old issues are still around.
As long as you carefully set your Network preferences all should be ok. I may not see all of your base but, you do, regardless of what mode you play in.

So I have concluded that NMS players include some of the most anti-social ppl on the planet. 
After sitting in the Anomaly for ages, asking ppl if they are playing outside of a launcher, are they Windows Store, Linux ??? I get zero replies. Some ppl disable MP and POOF! vanish into thin air. Geez ppl.
Oh and translate text is not working. That could be part of the issue

Iāve heard people say (in forums and irl) that they didnāt even know there was a chat, or how to open it. I once wrote āpress return to respondā a few times after asking a question and nobody reacted either.

Usually, in 3xperimental, they do know. Since we are out of sync atm, there are few here. But yes. Many do not know how. I suspect some have text chat turned off or set to friends only
Me, on the Anomaly, looking for answers.
Doesnāt it break your heart?

From what I know, you will be able to see players from Xbox/Microsoft, but communication between is currently not working. Either this is bugged, or just not activated yet. I bet HG still has work to do to fully flesh out the new integration, hence 3xperimental to get some initial data and feedback.
Had been expecting cross-play as well as translation features and more, ever since they included PlayFab Party. For that matter I am not amazed to now see Xbox/Microsoft additions and makes you wonder about a possible future with PlayStation and perhaps Nintendo (Switch).
I am sure these are just the early steps into cross-platform integration with more to come ā¦
Oh and text chat commands?
UI_CHAT_COMMAND_UNKNOWN (NMS_LOC5_ENGLISH)

'/group' or '/g': Message group

Yep, I play in VR. Only just learned yesterday about pressing return to open up chat. Also I wave my hands around to say hi but I donāt think anyone sees my hands.
VR users donāt have the option of saluting and dancing and sitting down etc like normal users, so I guess they just see an inanimate character staring at them.

I can tell who is in VR. It is quite funny. Their arms are usually crossed and extended or off to one side. Sometimes I see them accessing the menu and I can tell they are pointing at menu items. Too bad it doesnāt show a HUD or some sort of floating menu coming off their wrist. Would be cool. VR players also tend to move by warping so sometimes they warp right thru meā¦

I donāt think Iāve ever seen anyone using VR while in VR myself. Maybe I just need to pay more attention. Good to know that at least some hand movements are shown.

Yup, just look for all the players with āT-rex armsā!

I just got a 1.7 Gb update (PC, 3xperimental). Steam had scheduled it for Wednesday, but I downloaded it today. Not tried it yet. I will report back if I find anything.

Yeah the game has a hard time rendering VR arms. I assume players turn around in their roomscale setup ā which NMS promptly ignores, it keeps the arms as if they were still facing forward. Sometimes you see them reach their backs through their own body (to readjust the headset cable!) , or they suddenly lay their hands on the ground next to them and stop moving. 
And yes, chatting in VR is hard. You best sit down in a chair with your keyboard on your lap.

To be fair, everybody does. The problem is a bloody nightmare to solve.

Many here have seen me mention the earthquakes that I experience in MP during the Weekend Events. Well, with this new MP crossover thing, I am experiencing them in short bursts. Not continuously, thankfully. Apparently, when someone enters the system I am in, there will be a short series of quakes. Also, the player entering the area will automatically send me an invite to join their group. Everytime this has happened I have chosen Accept. Until today, this has resulted in the other player immediately leaving the group. Today I finally found a player willing to talk about what is happening. He did not send the Inviteā¦he had no idea why I was suddenly in his group. So I explained. Some kinks still in the system I suppose.

Huhā¦ That would actually be weirdly in tone with the whole boundaries breaking down / the universes might be collapsing in on themselves theme. If this turns out to be a feature and not a bug, itās a pretty foreboding one.
And if itās a bug, it might be even more appropriate to the theme. Oh, the metaā¦

So far, I have had a number of players with the generic controller icon ask me to join their group. The first group spoke only Spanish so I had to reply No habla espanol. (the translator does not really translate) The next group did not speakā¦I told them how just in case but it had no affect. I did have one guy actually talk to me but he really only wanted to know how to have his base featured in the Anomaly. He did not know how to get the glyphs for his planet. Explained that. He had no idea it showed in photo mode or could be toggled.
None of this really helped me to determine what is possible in this new crossplatform MP. I spent my time warping from galaxy to galaxy and also to 3 different Universes. Euclid, Eissentam and Rerasmutul (where I now have a base)
As far as I can tell, players in your group can not warp to where you are. It would be nice to have that option.
Not really finding too many bugs or issues.
The only real issue is that there are apparently a ton of players out there who do not really know how to dig into everything NMS has to offer. There really needs to be some sort of data base of tips and tricks like the glyphs in photo mode (though you would think ppl would notice itā¦)

Related to your earthquakes?
In tomorrowās patch.
Fixed an issue that caused full-strength camera shake and controller vibration to be applied whenever a ship landed in multiplayer, regardless of how near that ship was.
