We shall see when release patch comes out... than I would care.

OK, I feel like a total idiot installing this game and playing it. I went out of my way to not read anything about it, good or bad (other than the yet again delayed news) and jumped on the hype train.

OK, where do I start with how I'm such an idiot. I stared for five minutes at an "initialising" screen with an X in a circle. I did think for one brief moment that it might be the 'X' button on a controller, but on my PC? I shrugged it off, then sat there, for an idiot, watching the hard-drive light flicker.

OMG, yes, I had to press the X button on the attached XBox controller. No, not just a press, you have to press and HOLD it until you see that black ring encompass it.

So, finally after the brief intro and endlessly nagging text popping up in my face like a rich girl with a cell phone, I meandered about the landscape. Yes, I did run into some weird and strange looking creatures, but geezus on a popsicle-stick, how the eff do you get to examine an name them? Every one I came close to ran away faster than choir boy from a catholic priest.

I started shooting the crap out of some random plant life when these "sentient" drones came out of nowhere and peed in my cheerios. I managed to get one of the bastards before his wing man did me in.

It's here, it's real, but I didn't find it a real bit of fun for the half hour I played. I'm a self-admitted hype whore, most likely a hit and run bystander of a procedure generated universe and it doesn't even have a VR option.

Dewd, they're trying like hell to keep their heads above water.

I KNOW, right?!
I'm just a sucker for space... ...I hoped that this might be actually a good release (and so far I still think it is, it just has a slight hiccup). I usually don't pre-order (so far I pre-ordered this game, Witcher 3 (fortunately, CD Projekt RED delivered) and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided (holding breath)), but I couldn't resist - that's why I wrote that it's entirely my fault. I won't ask for a refund nor will I rant over the fact that my processor specs don't meet the SSE4.1 requirements (I plan to update my rig in a few months anyway).

What is so entertaining...

is the game is relaxing and really amazing experience..

the people on forums are like... yup...

Geez I requested a cdkey for nwn and gog send email applogizing it took so long...
I was actually shocked how fast they got it to me.


*Odd had to fix post..

Tremendous problems with this game. Not good.

Anybody know what's going on at Hello Games?

well... after two straight days of playing (man am i glad i shoved everything work related away in preparation :) ) and coming on here to see a lot of hate, i want to give my two cents too.
and as it seems that i need a disclamer: this is my opinion. its thru my eyes. and if you cant play because of hard- software problems thats a shame for you:

this game is freaking awesome! i have never seen a game like it so well executed right from release and i started playing right after zork. of course it has features that could have been more polished but then it would have turned out another duke because of the sheer amount of possibilities you have... what it does, it does absolutely awesome. and thats placing you in a very big and diverse representation of a universe and handing you a spaceship to explore.

yeah theres no gravity that pulls minerals down when you manage to cut away the bottom part first. and yes it does not tell you exactly what or when to do it. and yes i had one ctd in 20+ hours of play. but tell you what, i dont give a damn. because for me, a guy that wants a fun representation of what it could be to explore the vastness of space and go around looking at tons of interesting new stuff at every corner - this game is perfect.
the stuff i saw in my couple of hours filled whole books and movies back in the day!

anyways, im off to another great couple of hours in no mans sky!

(and just fyi, i have no "power plant", its just some software problems like every other released game has and usually get patched, max settings except AA and filtering which are down a notch, 1920*1080 and this runs smooth (constant 30+) except the occasional loading stutter when you fly fast over the planet:
1xi5-4590 @ 3,3
1xRadeon r9 280 Dual-X OC
16 gb ram
no ssd,...)
(edit: graphics driver etc, over a year old.)

If you don't have G-Sync enabled monitor, than you should disable it.

PC USERS: Incredible FPS fix for No Mans Sky
https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/4xgw82/pc_users_incredible_fps_fix/

This game is very poor, my first hour in this game was horrible. Why developers don't make demo ? They want make more money ?

Your first hour in game?
10 minutes ago you claimed you can't get game to start...

TRY HARDER

I was under the impression my pc met the min specs listed on the gamecard:

Minimum system requirements - Windows: 7 / 8 / 10 (64-bit only)
Processor: Core i3
Memory: 8GB RAM
Graphics: NVidia GTX 480, AMD Radeon 7870
Hard Drive: 10 GB
Mouse, Keyboard


But seems it fails on:

Processor - phenom x6 1055t - lack of sse 4.1/4.2 support ? i only found listed upto sse3 and sse4a
graphics: gtx 960 - only lists supports for opengl 4.4 not 4.5

Are these shortcomings something the dev can patchfix?

The SSE potentially yes, unless they made use in the code of assemly instructions directly.
In that case they have to recode something.
If it's a compiler option should be much easier.

OpenGL could be more difficult, especially for custom-built engine.
If they made extensive use of OpenGL 4.5 functionalities, it could be something in the game kernel, and not "fixable".

I think I read they're working on the sse 4.1 issue. The 960 was released with OpenGL 4.5 support.
