OFFICIAL No Man's Sky (Discussion)

[ixi]

I read comments of peolple which haven't seen the change in latest update. Try and check first of all, then speak (or write)

Apply cold water to burned area.

I was hoping you could fly the massive freighters yourself. Turns out they are called on demand. Too bad. One of the biggest downsides are the ships really. If the game is positioned around gathering resources and space travel, wouldn't it make more sense to bet EVERYTHING on space ships? You start with that tiny little fart can and you upgrade up to massive interstellar freighters, destroyers, carriers, building stuff on top of them like defense systems, autonomous defense fighters etc. That would be so badass flying around, gathering precious cargo and then defending it from random events like alien pirates or other hostiles. And the small space crafts in the beginning would only be able to evade such enemies, but not engage them, allowing balance without punishing you by throwing stupendously overpowered enemies at you in the beginning.

and the centre of the universe should have been very hostile, environmentally and NPC wise - requiring a big ass ship (or a small fast/stealthy one and luck) to get through.

YES.

I tried out the base building. It's a nice system, you can get kinda creative and it has a little progression by having 4 different "research tables". The only research that is worth anything is agriculture and construction. Construction is more or less just to give you more options for building your base after a short time though, getting those options is done. Agriculture is good for growing rare plants that generally aren't found on every planet at once, in one place. The entire update is pretty much rendered futile though, with no end game and wasting a journey to the center to start over again. I mean, you're building, growing gathering stuff for what? The game desperately needs actual goals, narrative and NPC's in space and on planets that actually do something.

So how many of you have actually played the game? I personally find this game a little dull after a couple of hours playing it!

 

[Italia1]

Patch 1.12 live

 

[RejZoR]

At 60€ it's totally too expensive. I'll wait a bit for price to drop. Probably gonna buy it during christmas deals...

I have played for a few hours, it got boring pretty fast. Minus all their lying and shit, the game actually just isn't that fun IMO.

 

[WhiteNoise]

I actually enjoyed the game back at release. I stopped playing after awhile only because I have other games to play but I always expected to go back to it.

I like games where I gather and build stuff so the whole flying around and gathering is fun to me.

 

[Italia1]

Sorry boys, have you got this type of lag in game ?

I've now uninstalled and reinstalled game in a 4 GB Ramdisk, performance are good now. 50fps @ 1440p instead of 30

 

[Italia1]

Anyone use Steam streaming ? I'm now playing in wondowed mode, so i can see someone. This is my screen now with 2560x1440 setting for game

[purplekaycee]

Just installed no man's sky on my PC
How do I solve it's crashing problem?

 

[Athlonite]

@purplekaycee Update it if it hasn't been done already also turn down your graphical pretty settings if you go over Vram on your GPU it'll crash I had the same problem on an 2GB R9-285 it kept going over the amount of Vram and would CTD

 

[Mussels]

CPU might be too old as well, i know it wont run on phenom II chips

 

[FYFI13]

At first it didn't, then they released a patch to support Phenom II CPU's if I'm not mistaken.

 

[purplekaycee]

Its a core i5 processor

By"updating "guess you're referring to my drivers?

 

[Mussels]

its a first gen i5, its 7 years old. Not saying it is the problem, but there is known issues with the game and old CPU's.

Athlonite was referring to updating the game.

will get a core i7 to replace it soon

 

[rtwjunkie]

There's not necessarily any need for that. You can still go i5. The difference would likely be in the instruction sets of older versus newer.

 

[Athlonite]

No I mean update the game itself most of the patches were for things that caused CTD's

If you find you're still getting CTD's then the game is running out of VRam and crashing try turning the quality of graphics settings down to the next lower level ie: Ultra > High or High > Medium until it stops CTDing

 

[INSTG8R]

It's only onn Steam so when he downloaded it was the latest...

It's been on GOG too, since day 1, so, it's possible he may need to apply patches if he has it there.

Yeah forgot about that but again GoG Galaxy is no different. Even without Galaxy you'd still be downloading the latest version.

 

[Italia1]

Some of you look the transmissions on Steam ?

 

[Vayra86]

YES.

Seconded. They made some serious changes that didn't change anything at all

I'm afraid NMS is beyond saving. It was fun while it lasted, the 'firsts' were nice experiences, and I've managed to have over 60 hours quality gametime with it. Beyond that, it just oozes bad design left and right, a real shame.
