- How to prepare for a BIG update of No Man's Sky? Well, in this video I try to answer that as best I can, giving some recommendations.
A video on using NMS cross-save: • I bet you didn't know ...
To find your save files, if you are on Steam:
PC: C:\Users\[your_username]/AppData/Roaming/HelloGames/NMS/st_76561197975032661/*.hg
MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/HelloGames/NMS/st_76561197975032661/
Xbox on PC: C:\Users\[your_username]\AppData\Local\Packages\HelloGames.NoMansSky\SystemAppData\wgs\

For people playing directly on Xbox, there is also a Cloud Save mechanism. You can see it in Settings .. System .. Storage .. Select Manage game saves and find No Man's Sky on the list. Unfortunately, it is probably what NMS is already using, so like the Switch, it may not be an alternative storage location.
Also, see this video by @CaptainSteveVPT : • Prepping For An Update... - he's got great additional recommendations.

BUG REPORT: up to 5.51
- XBox Series X - uplayable due to constant crashes.
- PC unable to launch game: Some cases disabling Nvidia DLSS helps.
- PS5? During storms on water-worlds, the water sometimes disappears causing the player to fall to the bottom.
- Gas Giant Freeze/Crash: Some report freezing / black screens when entering gas giant atmospheres.
- Using "sort" on your tech in both your exosuit and starship, it will delete everything past the initial 30 spaces.
- Freighter reset: Some players reported their freighters are reset. Not just the freighter-base!
- Trace-of-Metal bugged (multiple platforms): Cannot progress past presenting the pristine brain. No solution for now.
- Game crashes reported when donating items to guild envoys on space-stations.
- PS4 on PS5 - unable to recharge various tech.
So it's a Giant Gas cloud? Freezes after 7 minutes. Started new game, also freezes. Great update Hello
I was that friend with the Corrupted Save File! But hey, least my base is finally put back together from the original corrupted save! =D Just before the update LOL!!
Great video as always GGF!! You covered everything, good gravy! That must had taken forever to get all the stuff together to do this one! O_O
It was a task, no doubt.
Ok thanks I was able to copy my save in steam the instructions helped. I feel safer now.
This is what we're here for... Helping each other.
Your channel is great!
Thank you 🙏 Comments like yours are a major driving force keeping me going!
@ 💜💜 just remember you make a positive impact on the nms community
I wish they did more with factions, settlements or guilds
I agree.
More like : let us build in settlements ;_,
Can't you just place a base computer nearby? Never tried tho, I've read it on reddit @@WafelixRox
@@WafelixRoxin a way you can, when placing a base computer close by.
Agree 👍. There is SOO much potential with this game still. Love hello games and still support them.
From experience I recommend putting the safe file on another drive than “c” - or your system drive. If you don’t have another drive, get a USB stick.
Always good advice! Good call.
I had lost my freighter, it was the first time I had jumped galaxies, but the patch successfully brought it back
Change the maximum "250" fuel for my expeditions!! Drives me crazy, so I stopped doing my own expedition.
Thank you for this....i just finished my first expedition. Would be a bummer if i lost stuff right now.
When you backup save, and then reapply it after update, the planet will still be modified. Its because the save file does not contain info about planets (terrains, biome etc). Its generated on the fly based on seed, version and bunch other params.
Of course, but the problems are not limited to full-planet changes. People had issues of bases that suddenly became submerged in the terrain, and if you load your game into such a situation, your save-file could get corrupted because the game loaded your position in a place it wasn't expecting.
It's a very low chance, but it has happened to one of my Discord server Mods.
@goodguysfree Yep, but when you load, it will still get into terrain, because the planet data is not tied to save file, so the file would get corrupted anyway
@Iwitrag .. but HG fixes things. You wait until a patch release, then try to restore.
@@goodguysfree Agreed, but they fix only major bugs that affects most players. Definitely not rare cases that you were talking about.
My impression was different, but that's just one data point, so I don't know.
Some things I wanna see are Settlement Optimizations/reworks, greater freighter customization/content in general, and maybe some new features to Exocrafts cause while yes, you can give them upgrades, you can’t increase their Tech or Storage slots, at least to my knowledge
That's a great suggestion. I think most players would agree!
How about not losing the Settlement when you open a new one! (with Settlement chart) Mixered incomes from different Settlements you own gets a function
That'll be nice if they did that.
I want a freighter update. I know it is unlikely but custom freighters would be so cool
Now that's a suggestion I haven't heard in a long time. It ties in nicely with something I heard at Captain Steve's - the ability to use your freighter to fight battles, and the ability to fight against sub-orbital frigates.
@ yes I want the ability to pilot freighters in local space, and I would love a way to use them in combat.
You and me both, traveler!
Seeing what looked like the checkered flag on the Starborn Runner and space station in the game awards teaser, I've been hoping that we can make our own starship racing tracks like the exocraft
Now that would be awesome!
I am still not in cross save beta... always full...
Then let's hope it's a safe update.
i lost my 100hrs save files, cant even start new ones because it doesnt even save my game
Which platform are you on?
HG just pushed 5.51 to PS5 and another patch to Steam experimental...
@goodguysfree pc gamepass, got the update, nothing changed
But the good thing is that they are there(i found them using save editor tool), just not available in-game
Have you reported this to HG Zendesk?
And then there are us on Linux PC.....
Seriously? Can you play NMS on Linux? And I don't mean inside some virtual machine...
More base building stuff and ships.
That would be cool. I would love to see sentinel-ship fabrication, shuttles too, but less so. And way more building parts!
