PS4 Patch 1.08 is live!
(TL;DR) More crash fixes, stability, and visual aesthetic, as well as an adjustment to space combat. It also messed with the waypoint system on the galactic map.
Maybe someday they'll figure out how to land our starships properly too, so they don't clip into the ground.
EDIT: Some users (like
/u/ChristianStella ,
/u/mycelo , and
/u/Pelicashka) have reported that this patch has messed with their Atlas paths on the galactic map. I'm not affected, since I already completed the Atlas path, but this does seem to be an issue for some.
EDIT 2: One thing that I've noticed: the game no longer freezes after saving a location, which is definitely a nice improvement. Something else another user noticed is that the opening galaxy loading screen is much smoother than before. So in short, this patch really smoothed out the edges.
EDIT 3: A user (
/u/GeneralFandango) reported that space combat has been nerfed -- that the lock-on feature has been tampered with, so locking on is more difficult now. Another user (
/u/Ilia-Volyova) has also stated that their waypoints they had previously set have disappeared.
EDIT 4: A Steam user made a post on Steam
here stating that he's noticed an improvement with lens flares, as well as an improvement on weather (storm) effects. Also, something that a user pointed out (and also reminded me that I had noticed the same thing) was some new puzzles in the transmission towers, so that's refreshing! So basically, they added some puzzle diversity and more visual aesthetic.
EDIT 5: On a more humorous note, a user by the name of
/u/Cutenessoverloadd reported that "Harambe" was added into the profanity filter, as he realized that his planets that contained Harambe in their names have triggered the filter. Another user (
/u/simonk83 again) said that "Putin" is not allowed either. Interesting...
EDIT 6: User
/u/Skeletard reported that the galactic map no longer shows him the path to the center of the galaxy (the orange line that leads to the center). And though he's at the last star next to the center of the galaxy, he can't manually select the center to warp to it. Basically, Patch 1.08 has screwed up the galactic map.
EDIT 7: Some users (like
/u/IamHereToPetAnimals) said that they are having issues with interacting with crashed ship debris. Also, other users (like
/u/Krangh) are still having crash issues, which means that Patch 1.08 will likely not be the last support patch this week. Sorry guys. :/
