Thank god they improved the rain ripples on water. That is a game changer.

[@nightlyRPG]

😂

[@thegamegallery8091]

Love this game! Played all morning. Can’t wait for the updated version. Great video, and thanks.

[@johnroberts838]

Same here, 👍👍👍

[@nightlyRPG]

😌 I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I also can't wait for the next update!

[@sudip6630]

As usual, nice comparison 👍🏻

[@nightlyRPG]

☺️ Thank you very much. I'm still in the learning process, so it means a lot to me.

[@4badlisting650]

Great video! A few I couldn't really tell; like the galaxy map zoom and the fog in neon. But good job showing the differences!

[@nightlyRPG]

I couldn't tell either. Maybe those issues weren't happening for me. 🤔

[@JuanPerez-qs8oo]

Very insightful brother, thanks for the video.

[@nightlyRPG]

Oh It's nothing fancy! Thank you for the compliment!

[@SamEmilio2]

NICE! The main thing for me is finally having a survival mode type way of playing. I was hoping for just the same way of doing it as fallout 4, but I like how they've expanded on it

[@nightlyRPG]

😁 I also love how we can fine-tune them!

[@dachshund_gaming]

Honestly, I can’t tell the difference in the galaxy map zoom

[@nightlyRPG]

😮 Me neither. I thought it was only me. Maybe that bug only shows up sometimes.

[@hunterwhite7382]

you need to see it on your screen when playing. not on a youtube vid

[@kardeon4503]

great video

[@RandomZeroGravity]

Still missing amount of ship player can have 100+ and able to bring it into NG+ in multiple playthrough.

[@RajaaDima]

I didn't get the fixed zoom out (planet gagarin)? Nice video by the way 👌

[@nightlyRPG]

😊 Thanks! I tried many times, but it didn't seem to be happening for me. Or I could be missing something.

[@lamontwashington6496]

How is the May 15th Update installed? (And from where?) May 15, 2024 09:35 am.

[@nightlyRPG]

If you're on PC, you can switch to the beta version. help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/276C-85A0-C531-AFA3

[@richtheobald4390]

A lot of the images looked the same. Would have been helpful to highlight the differences. EG: the fog side by side...what was the improvement?

[@nightlyRPG]

I'm not entirely sure what is missing. The fog might be thicker on the right. 🤔

[@TheBonzomatic]

Are these for PC only or will they appear on console?

[@brandonhicks3046]

Console too. I believe may 15th.

[@martinjamieson]

That's great, but can I open the door to go speak to Briggs yet?

[@nightlyRPG]

Sorry, I'm not familiar with that bug!

[@martinjamieson]

@@nightlyRPG In Madame Sauvage's, on Neon. Can't complete or progress Display of Power quest. Briggs sits behind an inaccessible door. Same with Ghengis Khan in Operation Starseed. Bethesda though it would be a great idea to place mission-critical NPC spawns behind locked doors.

[@nightlyRPG]

😩 Oh no! I also have few other issues. I wonder what's so complicated.

[@GorillaTortilla710]

It’s supposed to be releasing today right?

[@nightlyRPG]

Yes, the beta testing ends today and the standard version will be up!

[@Baelthaazar]

Nice improvements. It would be better if they actually added more game to play. It always felt like we got a 1/4 of the usual Bethesda quests and side quests on this game. I have little desire to redo the main quests over and over.

[@nightlyRPG]

Indeed, it would have been better if they added more! 🙂

[@kimberlyhill2420]

What about starborn ships? They need a major buff

[@nightlyRPG]

You can decorate the interior in the next update, but I don't know how those ships are. I'm still staying in the first universe. 🙂

[@wdf70]

Amazing compilation and great presentation of all the new stuff. Just wish it didn't take them 8 months to add in a map.

[@XKathXgames]

Sure but it's not like it's a static image so they actually took their time to do it right.

[@nightlyRPG]

I love to explore planets! It should help me enjoy a lot. Together with the new ride, my expectation is higher than ever now.

[@gbhgvhgbh]

Stop whining

[@dachshund_gaming]

@@XKathXgamesit’s also not like the maps were the only thing they added in this update. They also added a bunch of gameplay options that let you turn Starfield into a survival game

[@Belgar]

I wish they released the map as soon as ready too, but they held it off to release all they could in a bigger update, wich in hindsight was the correct decision, a lot of positivity from the community is coming along with this update for the game, even I reinstalled. I just hope they'll mess with exploration at some point

[@hunterwhite7382]

now that its 60fps,im going to install this game and play.. i hope its good. xsx

[@nightlyRPG]

It's getting better! 😁

[@lazarus7657]

its out on xbox?

[@XKathXgames]

On the 15th

[@nightlyRPG]

😢 Sorry, I'm on PC only.

[@paulwest8575]

I recently installed the new beta and played for a few hours until I went to enhance the Frontier- in short Habs are broken. The menu doesn't work, it never allows you to choose a hab and the list under Habs is all scrambled with other categories stuff. So I quit until the 15th and hope that they fix the issues by then. I want this game to do well, but man, it's an uphill slog.

[@nightlyRPG]

I hope they keep fixing the game. Mine also has some issues. 😩

[@artur6359]

I'm still not pre-purchasing the DLC. Until Starfield does a 180 like NMS or CP77, it'll just be a name on my Steam library...

[@Space_Man909]

I wish they would add a feature to just pay the realtors to furnish your apartments right from the get-go. I hate having to build a home out of scratch, just like in Fallout 4 :(

[@nightlyRPG]

😮 That's a great idea! I never found the settlements in FO4 enjoyable. I'd love some built-in options.

[@Destinystrike]

Did they fix the 'game is a boring load screen simulator' or is that still a core feature?

[@las549]

They said they will improve this in the next update by increasing the frequency of this loading screens

[@MTEditz]

@@las549 wouldn't increasing the frequency of loading screens be the opposite of an improvement lol

[@apexanimo]

​@@MTEditz google the word sarcasm

[@MTEditz]

@@apexanimo ah yes. Sarcasm can be detected through simple text and no context. What I just said is a perfect example. I could be agreeing with you or I could be being sarcastic and making fun your logic. Google context.

[@letsplayskyrimle9391]

It's easy to find someone who has never played this game seriously. They simply post comments copied from what others say about this game. The problem is that others didn't play this game either and simply copied someone's comment. If there's any game that loading screens are less annoying, it's Starfield. And I say this having played more than 600 hours in this game (I've probably already surpassed 700 hours). And I can prove it! And you, are you able to prove that you have already played the game?

[@crazzyypiggss5799]

I See nooo differente bro

[@nightlyRPG]

There is! 🧐

[@Fintastrophe21]

Lmfao HUGE UPDATE Added maps to an open world (ish) game Added more lights Fixed some performance issues SKYRIM IN SPACE
