Exactly. Play it as it was a beta release.
Also, you can take backups of your save files if you're too worried before each session (on PC).

Yeah, NMS type of grind means I usually do not end up long term with it, at some point I need my actual flying and pew pew
. But I always come back for the main updates. The game is good though, bugs and all, so no issues there.
Of course I say how un-buggy it is, and go to my base, and the door has disappeared!
Yeah, there's still some issues there. Game is fun though, so not personally too bothered tbh.

Not to mention entire stations disappearing while you are in them logging out, then logging in to find you are in a completely different part of the universe in your space ship when you were on the ground. On PC have the controls on the official xbox gamepad setup do not work. Atrocious frame rates on Xbox One, Missing textures on both xbox & pc... Just the ones I have encountered so far.
Not encountered any of that. I play mouse & keyboard on the PC though, and don't have an Xbox.
The patches are coming thick and fast though (another one has literally just downloaded as I was typing this), so I think it's worth persevering with. You may think differently of course.
It's probably worth not using your main save for a few days though.
I know what you mean.
The general goal is to reach the galactic centre. So when you're stuck for what to do, just follow that path. It takes a long time, and can be deviated from endlessly depending on your mood. Polo will give you locations of black holes that shorten the journey time a bit.
It's working as intended, not by accident ;-)
You have a Rift still without touch controllers? But... Why? Those are almost best controllers on the market? And all roomscale games? All Touch games? WHY? Is the headset "Elite only"? Either way you're missing out big time...
Is the "gamebreaking bug" the inability to remap controllers for VR?
Out of 6-7 hrs in the game, it (almost) didn't crash on me. I experienced one bad bug, where I found a wreckage and when claiming game "forgot" my ship. That set me back about 20 minutes. Oh and my first time on the Space Anomaly on launch day wasn't great. It actually crashed and had holes in the geometry. It's good since day 2. No problems now.
As for the save, after their previous comments how "3xperimental" saves can break in regular game (before Beyond), I kinda assumed that I should start with a new save, and recommend doing so. Especially in VR. Game has changed, a refresher is most welcome and now it's in VR
And no connection to the old save anyway, so no harm done there 
Because people may not care about roomscale and touch? I have piles of games I play in VR, and I dont like VR controllers. Give me flight sims, racing games, HOTAS, Wheels and gamepads. I have no interest in the 21st century equivalent of duck hunt.

I have quite literally no clue what is so hilarious about that, but ok. Loads of people have the same bug in pancake and cannot play either. Haha, Hello Games screwed up a basic feature every game has had for decades. Hilarious man.
Because I would hardly call inability to interact with a VR port in a "non VR" way, or "the way it was NOT meant to be played" a "gamebreaking" issue. You literally call something "game breaking" based on personal preference, which the previous paragraph emphasizes even more. I mean okay, you can dislike VR controls, but comparing them to a duck hunt is unfair tbh. Especially when you have games like Onward for example, where you do all sorts of interactions with motion controls. And I don't think "Blade and sorcery", "Gorn", "Creed", "Beat Saber", "Sprint Vector", "Raw Data", "Serious Sam: The Last Hope" would be as succesful with a gamepad
On the same note I can say that Elite is unplayable with VR because I need to use physical HOTAS instead of my ship's stick which is just in front of me in VR, my hand position on hotas doesn't match the in game position. Oh and I can't use ship's buttons with my VR controllers. See? Game breaking!
No, no, no no.. Han Zulu.. Think what your saying..
I like it much more with less sentinels, some planets now feel really remote and as though we're the first there..
Before we would arrive thinking ahh look a remote barren place, very errie, then you would walk around a bunch of rocks and have a Gek shop stood there..
I believe @Ian Skippy may be referring to the keyboard - apart from key binding being impossible to remap, in VR the only option for control is the native controller for the HMD - if one has 'first release' Rift it came with a gamepad, touch controllers came much later. There is even a possibility that many of the games that require Touch are not of interest to everyone.
As for the keyboard killing Pancake, as a left-hander it sure has for me, and playing with an XBox controller is blooming awful for me!
Or basically any conventional method. In any case, it's all in the past now. HG just released a new experimental patch that 'fixes the remapping crash' and 'enables remapping'. Oh, they also completely removed the menu from VR without mentioning that in the patch notes, tacitly saying they wont support anything but VR controllers. I can somewhat tolerate not supporting a HOTAS, but this is a bit much.
But remapping should work now in pancake, so that is good news for you at least!

Okay, you seem to take this rather personal. There is no reason to be upset, if you like VR controllers that is cool and I wish you a lot of fun with those games.
FWIW: unlike those games you mention NMS is actually designed to be used with a controller (and k&m) so I dont see why it is unreasonably to use the very controller they designed the game for while simply having it projected in the HMD. As far as I know every game that added a VR option has been sensible enough to give the choice to the user. Not sure why it is such a personal affront to you when someone prefers a game to offer something every other game in that situation offers, but fine. Finally:Oh well, I am sure the reason they couldnt have the same on PC is because of the Holy Vision of Sean Murray about The Right Way to Play, not because they couldn't get it to work and removing the menu in VR was easier than fixing it.

Yeah. But it's kind'a weird that I'm on a planet with "threatening" activity level of sentinels... and I don't see them.No, no, no no.. Han Zulu.. Think what your saying..

I know what you mean though, it's quite nice to not having those things flying around everywhere. They were like summer mosquitoes you constantly had to flick away.
Another bug to be aware of (but is supposedly fixed in experimental release) when you buy tech blueprints using salvage tech, you can lose units or quicksilver at the same time. I have and couldn't figure out what was going on, but just saw that this is an actual issue and is addressed in next patch. It was really annoying. I was saving up to buy a bigger multitool (still have the starter one), but for some reason my wallet kept on shrinking. I told my kids I must've a hole in my space-pocket. So I'm down to only 150k again. Need 600 for the one I found, but lost 3-400k into thin air. Bleh. Oh, well, it's just a game.

I've played more than just the opening stages of this release, I know that after the tutorial it becomes less directed (I bought the game when it was originally released), but the core mechanics are the same (the ones I find dull). Going to creative means only the crafting/base building remains, which is just as dull as the rest of it.
Sadly, it's just not my kinda game. I'm glad other people are enjoying it though.
Hope at least this should scare a few natives away... lol ... time to plant some more frost biodome items
PS4 version 2.08 = 56MB now thats a nice patch size..
- Fixed a number of threading-related multiplayer matchmaking issues.
- Fixed an audio crash when quitting from the initial screen.
- Fixed a crash when quitting the game during audio initialisation.
- Fixed a rare issue where joining a full lobby causes an incorrect player ID.
- Fixed an issue where players joining a group can be taken to the wrong system.
- Fixed an issue that caused some network games not to appear in the Join game screen.
- Fixed an issue that caused the Exocraft Technician to have an incorrect interaction.
- Fixed a crash caused by an invalid base index.
- Fix for rare instance of falling through space station when interacting with vendor.
Shame.
You're wrong in saying that only the crafting/base building remains in Creative though.
You can just explore - without having to worry about shooting rocks for fuel etc. Exploration is the true joy of the game for me.
