No Man’s Sky update 1.32 has arrived on PS4 and PC to squash some new bugs found in last week’s Atlas Rises content. Hello Games has posted the patch’s complete changelog, and it can be read below.
- Fixed an issue that could cause cargo slots not to unlock after purchase
- Players who had previously learned all alien words are now able to progress through the story
- Players who’ve unlocked all general exosuit slots can now unlock tech and cargo slots as intended
- We’ve fixed an issue that caused base NPCs to stop responding after claiming a new base location. This will prevent new occurrences of the issue, a fix for those who have already experienced it is under investigation
- Fixed an issue preventing players from being able to finish farmer and exocraft missions
- The base terminus teleporter will now display mission objectives, allowing you to select the correct system. It will also no longer ‘forget’ mission critical systems. This will prevent new occurrences of this issue and a fix for those who’ve already experienced it is under investigation
- Creative mode players no longer need to complete mercenary missions as part of the story
- Fixed a rare issue causing multiple ships in a freighter to spawn on top of each other
- Custom waypoints will no longer override the Atlas Path in the Galactic Map
- Standing will now be correctly awarded for guild missions
- Players who recruited base NPCs prior to update 1.3 can now take missions from those NPCs as soon as they are at their terminals
- Fixed an issue that allowed players to miss Atlas Stations, which prevented progress. This will prevent new occurrences of the issue, a fix for those who’ve already experienced it is under investigation
- Fixed an issue that prevents some players from progressing when sent to an Atlas station as part of the story
- Fixed an issue causing waypoint lines not to draw in the Galactic Map
- Fixed some rare crashes
- The power of Analysis Visor upgrades has been significantly improved, resulting in much higher rewards when scanning with Flora or Fauna upgrades
In general, these adjustments address progression issues with the game’s added 30 hours of narrative content. Many players were at different parts of the old story before Atlas Rises went live, and the huge chunk of new stuff seems to have caused a few problems with those existing saves. However, as with the Path Finder update and Foundation update before it, Hello Games has been quick to address these rare occurrences.
Considering the wealth of goodwill No Man’s Sky’s developers have earned since the release of Atlas Rises, some quick bug fixes in update 1.32 are hardly a problem. Days after 1.3’s release, No Man’s Sky climbed to the top of Steam and retail bestseller charts. Despite its post-launch controversies, gamers have yet to give up on the No Man’s Sky promise of limitless exploration in infinite space.
No Man’s Sky is available now on PS4 and PC. Update 1.32 should be live now.
What do you think of No Man’s Sky after the Atlas Rises update? Can Hello Games truly turn this game into a comeback story? Tell us in the comments section
- A massive universe to explore
- Cool alien races
- A brilliant showcase of procedural technology
- Not much to do beyond resource collection
- Alien interactions are fairly meaningless
- Not as unique as originally advertised.
