Are you using Vulkan mode?

I don't know, I haven't selected it put it that way. Has the option been added to the main game or is it still in Experimental?

fingers crossed multi monitor support will come now.
I'll be reinstalling this I think, playing with randoms could be fun 
Edit:
That would be cool.

Planning on booting up the game again on the weekend to see what the changes are like.

Is the game not boring anymore?

The last update was more grindy than ever, yet weirdly much more fun. Still repetitive though. The first big update was the best. Much more world variation.

Depends on what you find boring.
I've had some good enjoyment from the game since the they made it possible to link up with a couple of friends, usually find it a lot more fun when we look for the most hostile planets possible and make it our goal to survive on them.

I want fun and exploration without the grind.
It's a bit like that ARK survival evolved, it looks fun but seems there is a lot of grind? I can't hack the grind,.

Unfortunately I think with the nature of the game it'll always have a fairly large amount of grinding, if you're exploring the building on planets then there'll be a lot of repetitive resource gathering.
It should be a little bit less so with the new update as they're making improvements to the basis and the ability to automate mining and crafting, but I reckon there will still be a fair amount of grind before you can get a reliable amount of automation going.

See i am the opposite. i am fine with grind *at the start* so long as it is possible to build machinery to reduce the grind later on , to me that is just goals to aim for - ie saving up for a .. i dunno, "iron ore extractor" may take 20 hrs... but once it is done and i can build it it then extracts it for me... and then i can go on to looking to build a water purifier or what ever.
to me that is the game and i can think of nothing more mind numbingly tedius than having all the toys available from the get go..... I guess i do not really like pure sand box games and much prefer role play with a "feeling" of being there and it being plausible.
OTOH my absolute pet hate is a game where i can spend hrs building something, log off for a few days aand when i come back a band of players have come along and ransacked it... I can tolerate and even enjoy a certain amount of grind but the moment players can ruin my stuff i am out. I must admit i am not 100% on whether NMS will be a fit for me.... if i build my own base somewhere the last thing i want is a player i do not know changing it - even if they are helping rather than breaking.
It is good we are all different imo

New game start needed I guess?
I am going with one. I logged back into the game yesterday and I had a 44 hour save with most of the hard stuff done. With the new options I think I will start again and see how it goes..

I’ll probably do the same. When does the patch drop?
