So apparently Exocraft first person is only for VR. WTH!....

I was excited for that.

So they swapped PC controls over to Steam's system for controllers. Had trouble and had to restart my computer, and maybe something, else to get that to work.
But there's an issue where R2 to place at least quick menu portable items on the ground doesn't work. The input it says in Steam is listed twice for some reason as well.
So I have to click my mouse to do that.

But also with first person Exocraft, which non-VR does not have access to, but I wanted, they haven't changed the way the exocraft control in non-VR either. Binding Accelerate in Steam to R2 doesn't work either, but does elsewhere, but steering is still done by which way you're pointing your camera, not the vehicle itself. And with that it's strange because left stick in Steam literally says "Steering", which is actually just forward and back, as it's always been. I want more traditional controls for these things, come on!

It seems like simply having an Exocraft spawned might still kill framerate for some reason. With my new card I was running completely maxed out (besides motion blur) at 40-42 fps, which is fine...ish (except terrain manipulation with Tessellation on still kills it). I believe I was 60-70 before I maxed out the settings? But towards the end of my playtime today, I believe immediately after I spawned my exocraft, my framerate tanked to 20-22.

So also, they tell you the environment that (some) of your undiscovered creatures on a planet are supposed to be in now. But oh boy does it still not make finding that last damned creature that's supposed to spawn in a cave, but never does.... even though the other 2 do, when they're the same rarity or even rarer. I believe I've been on planets where my last missing creature of spending weeks searching for is marked "common". YUP, SURE. Oh and they also don't give you the more specific details like if they're nocturnal or only appear when it's raining until after you discover them.

Fixed an issue that caused galactic generation on PS4 to be out of sync with other platforms. This caused some system to vanish with the arrival of Beyond. These systems have been fully restored. As a result, however, some of the new and erroneously-created systems have been hidden on the galaxy map. These systems can still be visited via teleporter if bases have been established there.

Fixed an issue where Ares had the wrong head.
