Hello Games has finally addressed some of the ongoing issues in their highly anticipated game, No Man’s Sky , including the game-breaking bugs linked to one of their pre-order items.
First, the studio behind No Man’s Sky apologized for the issues players experienced at launch. Unfortunately, the studio wasn’t prepared for the number of active users on day one of the game’s release. The developers went on to offer workarounds to prevent the game from crashing due from the known issues.
Workarounds
If you believe you are stuck, or can’t reach your ship, be aware you can jetpack forever whilst pushing against any surface
If you have made a mistake – you can revert to any of your two previous saves in the Options Menu
If you have left your ship somewhere inaccessible, you will be able to summon it from landing pads or beacons found at most buildings or points of interest (marked by question marks)
As for those who’ve been left stranded on planets after installing their pre-order bonus ship, Hello Games suggests the following:
It has been reported that using the pre-order bonus ship will leave some players stranded, if they purchase or transfer to a new ship that does not have a hyperdrive (if done very early in game). In most cases the player is actually able to continue (107 of the 135 reports emailed so far). The game already detects the player needs a hyperdrive and directs them to a nearby NPC who will give the player the hyperdrive they need. Some other players were able to resolve this issue by restarting their console.
If the above workarounds do not work for you, Hello Games invites players to reach out to support@hellogames.co.uk detailing their issues. The studio promised No Man’s Sky players they will continue to work quickly to release a patch that will include other crash fixes.
No Man’s Sky is out now for the PlayStation 4 and PC.
