When No Man’s Sky first came out, it swiftly became an example of how far hype can go, and how quickly the mob can turn against the developer if they feel like promises made in pre-release advertising were not delivered in the final product. Frustrations were further fueled when fans felt that the developers at Hello Games had all but disappeared and were no longer listening to the concerns of the players.

Whether you liked No Man’s Sky or not, it can’t be disputed that the patch development team at Hello Games exists, as patch 1.13 came out for PC and PS4 on December 12th and it will be expanding in the arena of space combat for the game. Whether this is enough to turn public opinion on the young title is yet to be seen.

If you yourself play No man’s Sky and you’d like to find out whether the recent patch is worth loading up the game again, you can check out this list of patch changes obtained from the Steam store page:

• Fixed a bug that would make the player character small.
• Space battles will now vary in size more and players should see bigger battles.
• Fixed the instantaneous death loop that could occur in survival mode if you saved with 1 health and no hazard protection. You will still be on the verge of death when you load in, but it won’t happen instantaneously.
• Fix for steam controller not being able to warp.
• Removed up, down, left, right as quick menu navigation keys to allow left-handed players to move while using the quick menu.

• Fixed an issue with redeeming promo ships in survival, which would result in the ship being spawned above the ground.
• Fix for missing ruins underwater which could cause missions to point to nothing.
• Various audio tweaks and fixes:
  – Added ladder climbing sounds.
  – Fixed base building prop sounds not playing when placed inside a Freighter.
  – Added sound effect for calling Freighters.
