Hello Games has released a new patch for No Man’s Sky, and revealed its complete changelog. According to the release notes, this patch fixes the most common crashes that have been reported, and addresses the corrupted saves files that players have been experiencing.
In addition, Hello Games revealed that a new, major, patch will be released next week.
As Hello Games stated:
“Next week expect at least one more major update, which will enter testing on Monday once we finish working on it this weekend.”
Here is the changelog for the third patch of No Man’s Sky:
Patch 3Patch 3 is targeted at our next most common support requests, fixing the next most common crashes, as well as trying to help players who have become stranded or have corrupted their save files.
Stranded in Space Station
If you died in your ship while in atmosphere of a planet with a damaged ship, you could respawn in a space station with your launch thrusters and pulse engine damaged. If you did not have the resources to fix them then you could no longer take off and be stuck there. This will no longer happen.Loading Corrupted Save Files
Some players have corrupted save files, we’ve been working with them to still load saves even if they are corrupted (this can happen for many reasons outside of the games control). This fix has allowed many players to still load their save even if they have become corrupt on PC.Crash fixes for next three most commonly reported issues:
– As the player gathers a huge amount of discoveries, there was a threading issue that becomes more prevalent the more discoveries you have, and could cause the game to crash.
– If you had collected a large number of blueprints, in a specific order it was possible to crash the game when you received a new blueprint. This has been fixed.
– Players who set a large number of waypoints could find themselves in a situation where they could crash the game in the Galactic Map, this is remedied now (PS. A better waypoint system is coming).

The “stranded in space station” happened to me, all I had to do was wait a few ships to land and began trading for resources with whoever passed by.
Emergent (and emergency lel) gameplay b*tches. 😛
Anyway, waiting for moar performance patches. One gave me a huge boost, (almost fixed) then the last one broke it again. :s
Alt tab is fixed
SSAA is fixed
mouse smoothing is fixed
Still get lag every so often but not frequently
Crashes are pretty rare.
Not bad so far for a first patch.
I guess I’m on the “lucky” side.
Game never crashed on me, never had alt-tab issues, never had save issues.
Performance though. >_>
At least they’re fixing the main issues and pretty quickly. I’d like to see some more options though for graphics and notification options, higher FoV without going into the config file. 140 FoV for walking is about right, ship about 120.
Moar options would be nice indeed.
One question, are you using any reshade/sweetfx? Are you having any issues with pop in?
Pop in yeah ,using reshade for the luma sharpen at about 1.55.
Oh, ok then, I was thinking that the game was bugged alternating between the fade in effect and the pop between my play sessions. -.-)’
Now I know that was me messing up with reshade causing it.
Yeah it’s just that ugly fade effect with the popin, can’t do anything about it even on max settings.
On my system it was improved on that 66mb patch. CPU usage went up, FPS went up, frametimes where stable and the pop in/fade in where noticeable but far.
Then the 8mb update yesterday was a step back for here.
Still no multiplayer at all, still no big fleets of ships, still no differences between races and spaceships, still no food chains of animals hunting each other, still not meaningful destruction that stays etc etc.
But they added a couple things that should have been there at launch in a PC game, so it’s fine somehow 🙂 Go buy the game, goyim 🙂
Animals do hunt each other, if they’re prey they will get killed by a predator.
You can blow deep holes into the ground on planets, enemies will fall into them.
There are differences between the races, they all have their own language and act differently, plus there is a story behind them which you can find by searching for monoliths, ruins and plaques. The Ay’keen for example are warriors, you have to be rough with them in your answers.
From what I’ve gathered so far, the Gek seem to have destroyed other civilisations, dominate them, enslave them.
The other race seem to be victims of the Gek.
I was referring to getting different spaceships from the races, and a “scientific” race giving you a certain type of ship as they advertised. That’s not in the game, all ships are the same except for inventory slots.
There is big fleets of ships, but it is @rse. Fighting on their side or against them is overwhelmingly “meh”, they are just there doing nothing while you “pew pew” with whoever is harassing you.
There is animal hunting. Not as frequent as I would like though.
MP isn’t there per say, there’s no interaction aside from visiting each other systems and discovering sh!t alongside them.
The three races are totally different, but as it is with all NPCs in games, after a while you see all the models of each one.
Destruction is definitely there.
No point trying to fix garbage game
blah blah blah idontlikething.
fanboy detected
“I want a game to fail because it doesn’t follow my rules, and everyone who think otherwise is wrong, because genuinely liking the game makes too much sense.”
ok
Well actually it does not make any sense to like a game where 50% of content is missing, left with only core gameplay elements.
Oh is it now? I want to see you back that claim up against everything I saw in my 30 hours of playtime.
I’ve read all that reddit post and also read a counter argument to that and also have my and other peoples experience and I have to say, everyone is jumping the shark with all this “blah blah, early access, blah blah lies, all lies”. If anything the game is underdeveloped, downgraded and the marketing was mismanaged, there’s no denial to that.
But, missing content? Give me a break.
Yeah f*ck fixing it for those who actually enjoy playing it. Hello Games might as well just ignore post support and start on a new game amirite?
Dumbass.
They better quit making garbage games, cause all they know is lies
The stupid people shouldn’t have pre-ordered it then and made visions in their head what it was going to be like when it didn’t exist, idiots never going to learn.
Agree thats the point people still pre-order games and guess what for example whose who bought on ps4 digital cant get a refund cause if they pressed to download by sony is not possible for refund lol , but steam has good policy for refund so its no problem. The real problem is that Hello games already got lots of money for lied product that is missing so many features that its laughable lol.
Why are you arguing on behalf of other people ,you don’t have the game do you, you have no intention of buying it so why come here talking about it and trashing it in every article, did your mother not pay you enough attention? “Quit making garbage games” is a stupid comment, they made 3, 2 of that are pretty good from what I heard, you you’re jumping on the the hate like your typical internet warrior.
I will hate as much as I want I will never support this kind of mistreating of customers lol. I didnt fall for the bait as others did, I waited and here it is A one mans lie. And I will trash this game in every article and on twitter. I m not afraid to say what I feel about this game. And by the way I dont have to be a internet warrior to dislike something as trashy as this game
“. I didnt fall for the bait as others did, ”
GOOD.
” And I will trash this game in every article and on twitter.”
Why? You dodged the 60 bucks bullet, screw that game and move on. Why waste time? Go play some good games.
Dude I am playing good games, but I dont want this to become the future of games where customers get lied . I know its not the first time it happens but its just wrong :I people should get apset more, one could even sue Hello games , its pretty much easy case with all the evidence online
Take your meds and calm down kido, you’re posting the same junk time and time again and you didn’t even invest in the game.
Thank god I didnt and will never will, and calling someone a kid without even knowing anything kinda makes yo a kid dont you think ??
Kiddo:
“used as a familiar form of address “you’ll be okay, kiddo”
Triggered
You got trigger, I mean you’ve spent all of your time hating on something you haven’t even played or brought, a true keyboard warrior.
ohh I did played it and yeah same garbage game
I played a garbage game you liked as well, difference is I didn’t go full ret*rd in an article about it like you have.
Triggered
Speaking of keyboard warriors, have you looked in a mirror lately?
Shhhh, Or it’s back to therapy.
Some of us are still recovering from 22 cans, Godus!
Well homefont the revolution is fun after patches so was arkham knight.
How are the bugs on Homefront atm?
some npcs getting stuck or flying objects. Some peoople experience mission bugs and frame rate issues, they keep patching it. Wait for it to go on a sale.
I expected more from you ,especially with all the generic FPS and third person junk, it’s not like any of those two games are original in any way. what so ever. A game that does something different and you thow it back at their face, I mean it’s a 15 person team and people wreck it like a 100 million budget game with 500 people working on it. Too many cry babies don’t like their dreams being wrecked and turn into sociopaths.
“I expected more from you ”
But i like games with open maps that you can attack the way you want with stealth and snipping and you have rc cars that explode.
“it’s not like any of those two games are original in any way”
or any game at this point.
“A game that does something different and you thow it back at their face, ”
such as if i dont care about it there is no point.
” mean it’s a 15 person team and people wreck it like a 100 million budget game with 500 people working on it”
You talking about no mans sky? Hey its not bad it just does not worth 60 bucks i was looking forward to it for a smaller more gamey space exploration type of game. The problem is the pc version is garbage and they overhyped it too much. Yeah the first few hours are fun going from one planet to the other, but this is where it all ends.
“You know that’s worse? All the idiots making money off the back of this, people actually make money and get views like this website and youtubers. They actually learned from the evil best ,the mainstream media, stirring it up and calling it engaging with their viewers, right………”
Yeah apparently mocking videos with a funny voice like leafy does makes money, i am thinking of doing it too i could use some more money to buy some old games with dlcs.
Yeah it’s easy, any idiot can do it, that’s why so many idiots are doing it.
obviously and the people who watch these things are fools, the easiest way to produce content that people will watch is screaming like a drunk cow and make a fool of yourself so 12 year olds can laugh or gossip and drama.
Yep, hype makes money, hate makes money.
lol
22 gigabytes per second? Does such a connection exist for private customers, if at all?
You’re an idiot. You’re part of the problem.
Triggered
Exactly my point. Thanks.
“You’re part of the problem”
LOL spoken like true SJW filth.
Now I can’t look at this game without thinking of how much of it only served for advertising and was cut in the final version.
It’s not better than what EA or Ubisoft does.
Might I present a different view on this?
Yes.
“Promissing the Earth: No Man’s Sky” – by Paul Kilduff.
He’s one of the Frozen Synapse devs, it’s a reaaaaally long write up and presents a different view on things that lead to this controversial NMS marketing and launch. I think it’s worth a read. (and for the record, this isn’t a full defense of what they did or didn’t, just a different perspective).
Okay, I will read this. By the way, I don’t dislike NMS, I’m rather very disappointed by the huge number of things missing from it. Just imagine it getting 9s and 10s in reviews… There is no second chance, sadly.
Oh, I’m aware, but then when I read and took a different perspective on things, I began to think a little different of what was shown, talked and what I perceived it to be. There’s no denial of the shortcomings and approach to marketing, but there’s also too much emphasis of calling out things that aren’t what people are making out to be.
I just read that and it was awesome. Definitely a good read. But when everything is said and done, people need to research the games they want BEFORE buying them. $80 is no joke so you better know what you’re getting into when you buy your game. I however like it because I know what kind of game it is.
Agreed, even though I did my research (and was downloading the game right when the massive wave of negative reviews was being delivered) I still felt what was lacking in the game in the end.
And I acknowledge that, but everyone else is jumping the shark waaaay too much.
There’s no middle ground, it’s all “rabble rabble lies, lies, corporations, hate ahhh!” without a single thread of reasoning.
They said they will add the ability to build have they done that?
Nope, that was never said, it’s no building game.
In the day one patch notes (1.03) they said that they would try and add it at some point.
“Next up we’re adding the ability to build bases and own giant space
freighters. Temporal AA and my new cloud rendering tech should be coming
soon too. It will really change the game again, and enhance it
visually.”
They said it on August 7, 2016.
Sean Murry was quoted as saying it’s not that type of game.
Yeah, it’s weird (adding stationary bases to a game in which you always travel), but I quoted a news on the official site, written by Sean Murray.
yeah at first i was like “what i cant build a house, thats crap” Then i thought about it, oh you dont stay in one planet for two long. If this was a mp game at least the players could populate the world but apparently you can be in the exact same place as someone else and no one will be there.
That was before, day one patches maybe they changed their minds.
And to be honest, having a place to call “home” would be cool, specially if you aren’t following any paths.
” that was never said,”
Now there is something that does not apply to no mans sky because at some point or another they said everything.
Erm, wrong though.
Nope they promised everything, or at least entertained the belief they did for sales, now how did that work out for em? With the flak the game is getting?
A lot of people just made stuff up and this “promise” word, he said what they were working on or had in at the time 2 years ago. Some people simply can’t entertain the idea that this stuff was development talk, not “promised”, call it a vision of the game he wanted to make, then later realising some of these features are just not going to work.
The trailers where pre made, that much was obvious, to look best they can be as trailers should, because you can’t go around looking for your random perfect planet for the trailer footage.
Except they didn’t. Trailers and interviews aren’t promises.
I’ll not deny the miscommunication and mismanagement and the clear underdevelopment, but they didn’t promise everything.
Not yet, the focus now is performance and bugs.
Well, there’s three paths, one of them is the f*ck-about-doing-whatever-sandbox-do-your-own-thing and the other two I’m not interested. 😛
But it needs some in depth systems, right now it’s just a uninteresting loop, definitely not for someone looking for more (and I’m glad I’m a boring motherlover, so I don’t mind it).
As for fixed space battles, other than the ability to control your ship/no autopilot and the rates of what battles happen (unless you want to attack anything at your own will) they are *there*, nothing really special (a few pirates here, a few distress signals there).
Hey, I have a hunch who is guilty there. Sony. They probably inflicted a hard deadline on Hello Games and they had to cut a lot of things to finish the game before that date. And Sean Murray just couldn’t tell about it for legal reasons. Honestly, do those devs look greedy? Would they make they vision way shallower on their own?
If not deadline, it might have had to do something with PS4’s laughable processing power.
Nah man, clearly they are all greedy and liars.
There’s no rational and possible way that it could be otherwise.
They are out to scam everyone.
And I bet that they have something to do with 9/11, I just can’t find the connection yet.
Maybe their plans are hidden in one of those 18 quintillion planets.
But jokes aside, everyone should agree that it’s big corporations who often make pathologic, greedy decisions.
So it’s more likely that Sony, not Hello Games, caused the game to be objectively shallower.
Yep, the discussions about art, products, corporations,value of games and politics are on my head for such a long time without some meaningful conclusion.There’s a cool video I’ve watched this week about the AM2R takedown by Nintendo that touched so close to some of my thoughts, it was such a relief seeing someone else talking about it lol.
Videogames, I love the medium, but I hate the business side of it.
sony overhyping? Nah. never.
>do those devs look greedy
What does greedy look like?
This is a fallacy I’m often seeing by the morons who attempt to rationalise or excuse their actions.
Developers can never be accounted, it’s always the evil corporation behind them pulling the strings. Stop, people must be held accountable for their actions, Sean Murray lied an absurd amount of times on camera.
“Promissing the Earth: No Man’s Sky” – by Paul Kilduff.
Responding to me with the name of someone’s article. Piss off.
All right then, I’ll leave you alone sweetheart.
Oh so you also dabble into being a little condescending twat?
Yes, I’ve learned from the master Olek.
nope
This game made the Watch Dogs E3 demos look like accurate portrayals of the release.
Never seen any developer lie that much with a straight face and a smile each time. Sean Murray is a pathological liar.
It would be nice if we could go back to spending more time playing games then b i t c h i n g about them…
Playing games? What are you, a nerd?
😛
You know why these scams and downgrades keep happening? Because their stories don’t stay long enough in the news cycle and in the memory of the consumers.
Are you attempting to downplay these disgusting practices, you rather just pretend it’s all good?
what gives you the impression I am supporting this game at all
I didn’t say that, I didn’t even come close to implying that.
My comment was quite clear, as long as this sh*t isn’t constantly out in the light it will keep happening.
People need a constant reminder.
You are not going to change things keyboard warrior, you’re delusional if you think you can, just keep having an opinion buddy, the pre-ordering will carry on while bigger people than you with more influence can’t even do it.
Is it just more or fanboys of “The Division” are also fanboys of “No Man’s Sky” LOL
and destiny
hahaha probably 😀
I just went back to check some of Division launch stories and basically everyone in here were over there too lol
😀
Well, let me check all the games I don’t like what you play and hate on you, oh wait, I don’t. Maybe you keyboard warriors should get a life.
You just have a bad taste in games bro not your fault
Not an argument.
We need a new game of year title : LIE OF THE YEAR
This game is probably the biggest lied game I seen :O
well thats all this game got going for it. if it wasnt for that….
Well, there is a the Atlas and the centre ,there are various stories of the races, then the sentinels and what they are about. Each race has their own story and language, you find out more by finding monoliths, ruins and plaques that give clues, resources for figuring out what they mean. So yes you get rewards in the game for a lot of things, even to the point of finding creatures, discovering planets and solar systems, planet life which you upload and get units for(currently).
You can also create abstract art in the environments. xP
Again, you’re not rational and can’t read context of what I’m saying, I’m not defending those practices at all. You’ seem to simply not understand the simple concept of what I’m saying. So yes you’re just a another keyboard warrior not willing to see other people’s opinion on the game but rather call anyone who likes it some kind of protector or shill for him and the game. It’s like talking to someone who has lost their rationality and mind.
Some people are actually saying everything he said is a lie, that is not rational, calm down, back away from the screen and think things through.
I see your the kind that its ok to be lied too ok I m done
I didn’t believe all the hype, I didn’t even follow the game and I brought it for the exploration experience, 2 days after it released, so no I wasn’t lied to, I didn’t buy the game based on those trailers and things said in the interviews.
Yeah of course we’re, I mean we must stop you from criticising the game based on your own false statements made by people and their claims of lies. I’ve seen people say stuff about this game that are simply untrue by my own observation.
Lets’ take an example: “Most planets have zero water on them”
Really? That’s funny because I’ve posted screenshots of lakes and seas, I mean to make a claim that “most planets” don’t is an impossible claim to make based on the the generation of planets in real time. You simply can’t make that claim because the planet don’t exist, they don’t even exist on your storage drive so you can’t possibly know.
Let’s take a cherry-picked, specific absurd statement so you can make it look like everyone is just making ridiculous complaints.
The single best reference is the long list that was posted on the game’s subreddit, and which has been updated as people found stuff that was in the game. That only changed 2-3 items on it, there’s still dozens of others.
I picked a statement that was factually wrong but nice try, do you know what an example is? I gave example of a statement that’s wrong and disprove it with evidence, that’s how it works. The person who made that list couldn’t even get basic facts right, I mean the trailer was pre-made anyway.
No, they’re facts
1. I didn’t make that claim so I don’t have to defend it.
2. Your counter-argument is still laughable though. You could take a sample of 100 planets and see how many of those have water. If it’s a surprisingly low number then the claim is probably true. If it’s half or more it’s probably false.
Here’s an example of a definitive lie regarding planets: They said there would be desert planets and showed footage of a sandy, dry planet. There are no desert planets in the game.
It’s called an example, I didn’t say you made the claim, so learn to read. You’re talking about numbers now ,that’s what the planet generation is, just numbers, the amount of planets with water on them is random, can’t you get that through your thick head and that the planets don’t even exist until you see them?
Do you really think the trailers are the same, no they are pre made because the planet generation is random. Certainly the trailers are misleading but out right lying and intending to, that’s another matter.
The planets are not random, they are created based on an algorithm and in that algorithm the designers have control over how prevalent water will be on planets, how high mountains are going to be, how many rocks there will typically be etc. If they left it up to randomness you would see planets with mile high mountains or planets that are just water all around. Have you really not noticed that the landscapes on most planets in this game are fairly similar? There’s never any real mountains and valleys, there’s never an ocean, there’s always similar densities of trees and grass when there is any etc. Open your eyes, man. If the designers wanted water worlds and desert planets they would have allowed for the algorithm to create those. They obviously set it up in such a way that those outcomes are not possible and instead everyone is walking around on samey planets differentiated by nothing but whacky color schemes.
“Certainly the trailers are misleading but out right lying and intending to, that’s another matter.”
No, it isn’t. Sean Murray has made hundreds of FACTUAL STATEMENTS about the game and most of them turn out to be FALSE. That is what we call a LIE in laymen’s terms. The fact that the carefully crafted presentations show these features he was lying about in action makes matter worse, not better. They set up demos of features they did NOT have in their game, lied about having them in their game, never backtracked and said “sorry but X is not going to be in the game after all” and released the game at full price. You’re one of the suckers who got conned and you’re defending the conmen right now.
Lets look at some balanced reviews and opinions.

>trailers and interviews aren’t promises, it was miscommunication, it gave a general idea of what the game was but it was NEVER a promise
It’s honestly physically sickening to read terrible excuses and attempts at rationalising a trend and practice that occurs with every other release, by the f*cking consumers that this is targeted at.
That is something I would expect from a press-release from their public relations team and legal departments, not the person that is getting f*cked by it.
You disgust me.
Ok honey.
Keep fighting the good fight.
“wrath and 7thguest are FULLY on the koolaid, holy sh*t, those fanboy posts below”
Real argument right there, just another keyboard warrior who lost his rationality.
How many are just going to wait for it to be $20 on Steam Xmas sale. 😉
I’ll add it to my collection but not for $60!
When a developer says “X will be in the game” then that’s not a promise? Yeah, no. You’re trying to seem all “moderate” now by admitting that the game is flawed but you’re still making ABSURD excuses for blatant LIES. Tell your boy Sean noone would complain if he hadn’t LIED a whole lot. Launching a mediocre, broken game at full price isn’t the end of the world, all of the big publishers do it several times every year. The outrage is over the LIES and you can’t hand wave those away by pretending marketing is permitted to lie. It isn’t. Getting away with it doesn’t mean it was okay.
Shall we divide into topics then:
-Explore different planets: It’s there;
-Space battles: It’s there, they are not great;
-Different and crazy alien fauna and flora: It’s there, not varied enough if you ask me;
-Food chain: It’s there, not varied and frequent enough in my opinion;
-Story/Plot: It’s there, and it is utter sh*te, sandbox/free exploration all the way baby!;
-Different ships, weapons, upgrades: There aswell, but a f*cking grind to get them;
-Different alien races: There, all three of them. Not a great number, get’s repetitive after a while;
-Rivers(?): They are there, aaaad they are not great;
-Giant sandworms/dinos: Don’t know, maybe they are;
-Pirating: It’s there;
-Trading: It’s there, it’s not deep/great;
-Exploring: There, and it is tiresome, but gives you lots of money;
-Destruction: It’s there, dem voxels without physics are ugly;
-You can’t manually fly from system to system: OH OH BAD SIGN;
-You can’t name you ships and guns: OMG CRUCIFY SEAN MURRAY!;
-You can’t land on asteroids: AGAIN WITH LIES!
-There’s no player interaction aside from being and discovering things on the same system/planet: #MOLYNEUXISSEANMURRAY;
You’re arguing against a list of accusations I haven’t heard from anyone, such as “story” or “rivers”. And you fail to mention some blatant lies such as: There would be desert planets, there would be big fleets of ships, such fleets or at least individual ships would jump in and out of places, there would be FACTIONS at WAR with one another and you could pick sides and many more. And again, there are no different ships, they just look different. There’s just one ship with varying inventory size. You’re very clearly engaging in damage control for NMS.
“Okay, so most things in the game aren’t so great but keep it down about the lies. Here’s a joke about Molyneux as if it were totally ludicrous to make that comparison.”
No. Sean Murray is easily as big a liar as Peter Molyneux or Todd “Radiant AI” Howard. The comparisons are totally fair.
There is though.
I am on a system right now that have at least two desert planets. And that after my second system, which had a planet that shouldn’t even be called a planet, it was just a void of nothingness.
I’ve just watched someone fight a huge battleship jumping to get him, spoiler alert, is shallow af.
Yesterday I got a distress call and got myself wrecked between some aliens shooting at each other, and as I’ve said, not deep, not “oh gosh epic faction war”, just a random “pew pew” sort of thing.
Not denying that the ships variety is only artificial, that is absolute @rse.
Now tell me how much I’m on “damage control” when you are the one not seeing what there is in the game.
I’m not even arguing that is deep, or even that is good or that has any meaningful significance on the world.
But it is still there.
