There’s a new experimental branch of No Man’s Sky available for you dive into. This branch brings about tons of fixes and some convenient quality of life updates. Here are the details.
If you missed it, Hello Games released their most recent game update, Prisms, just last week. This update was pretty huge and brought about a near-total visual overall. It added reflections, refractions, rain, weather, new particle effects, and DLSS. Overall, it’s a pretty significant visual upgrade for No Man’s Sky.
The experimental branch improves upon that and brings several fixes:
- Significantly improved and streamlined the freighter upgrade control menu, which includes access to the options to reset the freighter base.
- Improvements to ensure more consistent behaviour across the different photo mode settings.
- Made a change so the cockpit remains visible when transitioning to the Galaxy Map in VR.
- Fixed a bug that caused the transition to play twice when entering a vehicle in PSVR.
- Improved the appearance of the UI in VR when using a refiner or performing a maintenance interaction.
- Fixed some clipping text in the inventory screen in VR.
- Fixed an issue that could prevent mission notifications from displaying.
- Fixed an issue that could prevent build menu tutorial hints from displaying.
- Fixed an issue that prevented display of the player's balance of Salvaged Data when using research trees, such as the Construction Research Station aboard the Space Anomaly.
- Updated the in-game patch notes to reflect the Prisms update.
For those of you with an Nvidia RTX card, Hello Games added a few quality of life features:
- Added a popup for players running outdated drivers on compatible NVIDIA RTX cards, encouraging a driver update in order to enable DLSS support.
- Fixed an issue that could cause photomode screenshots to appear black with DLSS enabled.
