Developer Hello Games made several VR improvements to No Man’s Sky in Patch 4.22. Those who play the game in VR will find a new option that enables a third twist axis on the virtual joystick.
The said option allows players to roll or yaw their ships, pretty useful when evading enemy fire or just getting out of harm’s way. Additionally, the company improved the visual feedback when repositioning VR wrist menus.
Patch 4.22 also fixed an issue that could cause a severe drop in performance when joining another player’s game directly from the frontend or main menu. This happens when the other player was aboard the Space Anomaly. The company has addressed this now, so players can go with their friends without worrying about a sudden and sharp decrease in frame rates.
Here are the other noteworthy bug fixes in this update:
- Fixed an issue that prevented the Minotaur from correctly targeted corrupted Sentinels while under AI control.
