No Man's Sky developer Hello Games released a new update that fixes tons of bugs, especially those related to game crashes. One such fix was done on an issue in multiplayer where the game crashes when loading creatures or companions texture. The update fixed other issues as well, such as a GPU crash on PS5 and various crashes related to terrain rendering.
This update also improved companions by optimizing other player's companions so they will no longer collide with you in multiplayer. The developers tweaked as well the companions to correctly defend their owners when attacked by a dangerous creature.
