NMS updated today 30/07/18 with an un-numbered update. Now it won't load - I just get the 'Hello Games' logo and nothing else. Any ideas aanyone please?

Ive been playing it for months now with no problem. Latest numbered fix was 1.52.

Did you just use the newest patches ?
I usually load all the main install files in the newest version again, like here now 1.52.1, and run a full installation, into the same folder, just right over the older installation.
No problem for me right now, sorry.

GOG Galaxy seems to have been down for a bit, cannot connect to Galaxy.com servers. Wonder if this disconnect might have occurred while you were updating and perhaps this might have resulted in a corrupted installation. Did you use the Galaxy client to obtain the update?

You might consider submitting a support request to GOG.


I have automatic updates disabled as I always wait until there have been enough emergency patches issued to work out the fatal bugs that invariably plague a No Man's Sky update. It usually takes a week or two.

In my case, I'm still downloading NMS(I started the download before the 1.52.1 hotfix). The installation stopped because the GOG server was down. I shouted bloody Mary because I feared that I would have to re-download the whole thing again which would be a pain in the ass because of my weak internet speed. Luckily, my 43%download continued where it left off. But I swear to God, when the download is complete, which will take about 1-2 more days, and if something is corrupt and I must re-download the whole thing again, this will be the last time I deal with GOG.

I feel yer pain. Verizon DSL here. I hate it but I hate the local cable company more. ;-) It's fast enough for most things but big downloads are awful.

I have AT&T DSL. Like you said, it's fast enough for most things including low GB games but when it's about 4gb+, it can be a pain. Unfortunately for folks like us, games are increasing in size and worst of all, game companies are going digital only. Anyways, I hope my download goes well. I DON'T like surprises when I'm spending days downloading something.

Ok, I've just downloaded NMS. Took 3 1/2 days to complete. GOG Galaxy says that NMS is installed. The "play" button is green, I clicked it and nothing happens. Any ideas what I need to do from here? Thanks.


EDIT: Got it working with the verify and repair option. I guess it needed to update to the 1.52.1 hotfix. I was nervous because I thought it would download more gigs of data. Now that I FINALLY getting a taste of NMS after 2yrs of absence, the game looks very nice indeed but one thing I noticed is how poor is the performance. They need to fix that asap. I can run The Witcher 3 smoothly but not this game. And I suspect there is memory leaks in this game.

In addition to checking your usual graphic settings (and drivers, etc.) there's a tweak you can do to help encourage multithreading.

Go to your installation directory (...someplace...)\GOG Games\No Man's Sky\Binaries\SETTINGS and make a backup of TKGRAPHICSSETTINGS.MXML. Then search for and change the values for NumHighThreads and NumLowThreads both to "0" and save.

I'm running a not too new i7 box with a Geforce 1050 Ti (4 GB). No screamer by any current measure but it plays quite smoothly with mostly medium settings plus light shafts.

Thanks! I'll try that ini tweak when I get back home from work. I actually tweak that mxml file before and did what someone else suggested for the low/high threads. He said to put both on 4(since I have a quad core). Not only that didn't help but my gpu temperature went from the usual 73°c max to 89°c!! And the fan for some reason was stopped. I hope I didn't fuck up the fan.

Hi Dashiichi. I've just read your post regarding changing the values of NumHighThreads and NumLowThreads. I've just done this and NMS has gone from a staggering nightmare to pretty smooth, even when I put the graphics up to medium. I'm well chuffed with the result. I'm using an Alienware Alpha i5. Thanks for the tip.

I applied the ini tweaks and I don't know if I see a difference but at least the temperature of my pc is doing fine now. One thing I forgot to mention before is that in the first hour of play the fps is always smooth but after that it gets laggy. In my gaming experience, this is often a telltale sign of a memory leak, something which HG has acknowledged already.
