Have you tried the new build on experimental? We are trialing some very significant new fixes that have solved hitching and stuttering issues for many players - myself included.

If that happened, best to contact steam support. We can't see any individual owner data, and even if I could, we have no ability to issue you a refund or a product etc... Only steam can do that.

We migrated to being local save, so that we were not storing peoples data.

Note that if you try do a mission on Prometheus, or Styx, the game will offer to give you automatic level advancement to compensate.

Originally posted by wrex: Is this confirmed? Can I play New Horizons with friends who have not yet purchased the DLC?

Correct. It is studio policy to put as little DRM in our games as we can, and to make DLC as permissive as possible.

Everyone who purchased the upgraded edition receives it for free. They do not pay for it, in fact, steam will not let them pay for it as they already own it.

This will be fixed in the NF build.

yep thats correct!

We are currently testing an internal fix for some of the main causes of this issue.

Some possible good news - Nvidia reached out to us with a possible reason for the crash. So this is FANTASTIC news and I'm so pleased. We thought they had forgotten about us, but they had not! I'll update more when we can.

New Frontiers, for the first time, allows all its missions to be played either in open world directly, or as the normal mission mode. You can take existing prospectors into the world (Prometheus) in the New Frontiers expansion.

Note that until the next big update, Exotics currently cant be earned on these missions. We just wanted more time to test, to make sure everything works fine with the missions before exotics are turned on for open world.

Hey will the increase with the sale or after?

Will be after the sale, we cannot increase the price before sale as that would be illegal - and for good reason otherwise people could increase the price and then immediately putting it on discount.

We will wait until after the next sale to adjust prices.

You’re welcome! I have been doing a big play session in New Frontiers to make sure it is ready for you all. I have been really enjoying the open world, and being able to do the missions like that.

It is a shame that Olympus and styx will not have the story missions in open world until Hypatia, which comes later, but it is a necessary evil due to us needing time to test them all and make sure they are okay.

We attempted to add this and spent considerable time, however we can an unspecified crash that we cannot debug. We escalated as high as we could at Nvidia to provide more information or help in solving the problem. They sent us another 40 series card to help, but the crash is non-specific and points to the API without any specific information we can use to solve the issue.

Unfortunately they have not helped us, so we can blocked at providing support for this. It is disappointing as we spent considerable developer time trying to support DLSS3. In future when nvidia update their API we might be able to try again, but it not cheap for us to keep trying as we have to stop doing other tasks.

We will also keep putting pressure on nvidia to see if they can dedicate some engineers to help us identify the issue.

I have heard rumors that we may get missions with persistent worlds

It has been confirmed in multiple announcements and updates that exotic earning will be coming to open world with the Hypatia update, that is due after the launch of New Frontiers.

Currently New Frontiers will contain, for the first time, full missions done inside open world. With Hypatia will be back-port this to Styx and Olympus and allow exotics to be earned in open world.

We have to add some content and functionality to support this so it needs more time in testing before we can release it, which is why it is not in the new frontiers update.

I deleted a post that breached the steam community guidelines. Please do not post things that are objectively false, as it derails the thread topic and incites flame wars. Please see the steam community guidelines and note that posts that breach these will be removed, and warnings or even bans might be issued.

There is only one that matters, which is if the game looks interesting to you. I would recommend reading a few negative reviews, and a few positive ones. Then if it looks interesting try it out. If it doesn't "wow" you in two hours, refund the game. If it was close, maybe check back later, if not, don't check back on it again.

While I hope you love the game, not everyone game is for everyone and that's okay. If you don't enjoy the experience, at least refund the game and hopefully check out other games we make in the future.

This the change log for the update of the various binary instructions to be in line with the bitshifting update:

https://steamcommunity.com/games/544550/announcements/detail/3681176566145924827

• Added NOT bitwise operation. Performs a bitwise logical NOT operation flipping each bit of the input value, resulting in a binary complement. If a bit is 1, it becomes 0, and if a bit is 0, it becomes 1.
  
• Changed AND to be a bitwise and not a boolen operation. In most circumstances, this will not cause any issues with scripts. Performs a bitwise logical AND operation on the binary representation of two values. Each bit of the result is determined by ev...

Date change for what? If you are talking about DLC launch, there have been zero changes to that

It is okay to not like something, even to do something passionately. It is acceptable to criticize the game, things you don't like about the game, and things that have changed about the game or your experiences in it.

It is not okay to direct that towards people, including developers. It is strictly against steam community content rules to attack people, whether developers or not, and whether it is a joke or not.

Comments and posts that do this may be removed and warnings given, and repeated instances or serious instances may involve permanent or temporary bans.

In this case, i am locking the thread. Hopefully it will serve as a reminder to fol... Read more
