Hello Everyone,
First of all, thanks so much to everyone who has already spent time playing the Synthesis update 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 rapid patch to fix a number of crashes and other problems seen since release. 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 Update 03/12
Experimental Branch Update 02/12
Experimental Branch 29/11
The disable mods flag was reset for the Synthesis update because changes to the data structure were made and caused many mods to be incompatible.
We are tracking an issue where some players have incorrect controller bindings after updating the game. If you have this problem please restart the Steam Client to correct the issue.
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.

Experimental Branch 29/11
- Fixed an issue that could cause the backpack to swoop into view when opening the inventory in the starship.
- Fixed an issue that could cause the backpack to be visible in VR Photo Mode.
- Fixed an issue where Multi-Tool purchase brought up an incorrect UI when taking the Multi-Tool from an NPC, not from a terminal.

- Fixed an issue that could cause players to fall through the terrain in multiplayer.
