Hmmm, I am not seeing an update. Perhaps it came with the other update? Maybe that’s why I have not crashed? :upside_down_face:

@BlackIris Is there any way I can find a list of updates released to GOG, specifically for experimental/beta? I (think I) can see all updates for the regular update releases on gogdb, but not sure that is actually all there is.

@DevilinPixy In my NMS GOG configuration V2.52_Crossplay_60829 dropped this morning and Version Experimental_60841 dropped this afternoon (US Central).

Thanks for that info. Neither of those show on ‘gogdb’, so I guess I would have to find another place to get that info, if even available.

The only place I could find it is in my NMS configuration page in the GOG Galaxy Client. They have been having server issues all morning and just tweeted that things should be back to normal now. The db is not always updated as quickly as updates are dropped.

SM is getting slow with the tweets, :laughing:

“Fixed an issue that could prevent Steam sessions from being marked full when at the player cap.”

Yeah the number of suspended in air because all nexus landing pads are taken after being allowed in has increased dramatically, both experienced and witnessed.

Experimental Branch 17/07

Hello Everyone,

First of all, thanks so much to everyone who has already spent time playing No Man’s Sky and letting us know about any issues you’ve experienced.

Steam users are able to opt-in to the Experimental Branch, where we have pushed a patch to address some problems. We’ll be rolling out these fixes to other platforms as soon as possible.

To play in Experimental, right-click on No Man’s Sky from the Steam library page and select “Properties”. Among the available tabs will be the “BETAS” tab. Enter “3xperimental” in the textbox and press “CHECK CODE”, then select it from the dropdown menu.

The patch notes are as follows:

Experimental Branch 17/07

As always, thank you to all players who use Experimental and take the time to report any issues you encounter.

Please note there is the possibility that experimental builds may introduce new issues that haven’t been caught in test. We’d like to recommend that all players back up their save files, by making a local copy of the st_[userid] folder found here: %appdata%\HelloGames\NMS\

Note that we don’t anticipate any issues here. However, performing your own backups could mean the difference between resuming play immediately, or waiting for the next patch.

If you decide to opt out of experimental and return to the main branch, we strongly recommend resuming from a backed-up save from the main branch, rather than taking an experimental branch save back to main, which may cause unexpected behaviour.

Feedback and reports of new bugs/issues being found on Experimental are welcome, so please reply to this thread or submit a ticket to https://hellogames.zendesk.com/ with the phrase “Steam Experimental” in the ticket title. If you are running any mods for the game, please list them along with your bug report.

This could be a spoiler, and I’m not sure where best to post it, but some players have discovered multi-tools with falmethrowers pre-loaded into them. It wasnt in the patch notes so it might be a bug.
