Ahoy Captains,
We are continuing to improve Update v0.8.6, which is currently available in Public Test.
This update brings a wide range of fixes, improvements, and stability enhancements based on player feedback.
A major focus of this patch is on stability, performance, and graphical improvements, including important fixes for FSR 3.1 and 4 availability, DLSS, and Frame Generation, as well as multiple crash fixes.
Additional note: We are aware of an issue where fuel resets after opening the internal fuel tank upgrade menu without applying changes. A fix has been implemented, but as this affects multiple systems, we want to continue testing it further before fully rolling it out.
As we prepare to release v0.8.6 live to all players in the coming days, our priority remains:
Reducing crashes
Improving performance
Enhancing graphical quality
Even after the live release, we will continue to actively support and patch v0.8.6 to further improve the experience before introducing any class 4 ships.
