Here are some things to be aware of:
- We’ve brought a new QA team on board today (larger than the entire Hello Games team!). This will complement the existing Sony QA team.
- We are working on fixes for the most critical issues, which will be in a patch in the near future.
- We will be moving to a ticketed support system next week, and have hired someone to manage this starting Monday.
- Some information will be posted in the Sony forums here http://community.us.playstation.com/t5/Games-Services/bd-p/22190
- Or contact Hello Games here http://www.no-mans-sky.com/support/
Workarounds
Here are some workarounds for some known issues:
- If you believe you are stuck, or can’t reach your ship, be aware you can jetpack forever whilst pushing against any surface
- If you have made a mistake – you can revert to any of your two previous saves in the Options Menu
- If you have left your ship somewhere inaccessible, you will be able to summon it from landing pads or beacons found at most buildings or points of interest (marked by question marks)

I thought it was traditional to QA a product *before* release!
Oooohohohoho. I don't know when that was.

OMG, Bowie's in space!
That's pretty far out, man!
I thought he was referencing Hallo Spaceboy which is like the weirdest David Bowie song I remember.. some song about sexual orientation confusion?
Edit:
Just realized that his most famous song is called "Space Oddity" which I did not know. In my mind it was called Major Tom... hah. Shows how much David Bowie I listen to (Hint: Only when Its on the radio)

I ps4 a lot of stuff any more. I like the pickup and go.
Plus, I've had a 3 day head start on you.
I have to admit I enjoy more games that I use my 360 controller for on my PC. So I get the big super reclining office chair, recline and put my feet up. Sadly this is how I'd destroyed 2 controllers playing (I finally got to Skelligrade Isles after loosing 3 saves) Witcher 3.
I don't understand how playing in the office chair using the controller for PC games has destroyed 2 controllers...

Console port trash. I hope the check from Sony was fat.
Arguably, the game would never have been released without all that money. Perhaps in time this will shape up for PC, and become a fun game.
