Well, I too am getting The Crash.

[Neonivek]

No! No Man Sky works perfectly. If it doesn't work it is because your doing something wrong.

can you link me a video where the devs stated the game would work on launch? if not, it's your fault for having unreasonable expectations :^]

Cheeky.

Do you have an ATI Card? As usual, I've only seen ATI folks talking about the opening crash.

[Shadowlord]

Well, you have two weeks to auto-refund it if you don't play, right?

Yeah, but I'm seeing NVidia folks complain too.

I'm reading that restarting steam might fix crashes. My game doesn't crash but instead the initiation sequence played in slow-mo(it was a really painful long wit to watch) and I get low fps(~15) on foot and when I got into my ship it took a dive to 4fps. I'm surprised to notice this game runs on opengl instead of directx though. Will try tweaking graphics and updating drivers just in case.

Edit: Seems that the setting for mouse sensitivity is broken, changing it sees no change in mouse sensitivity, even turning it down all the way to 0 did nothing :/

Oh man, TB really, really, really hates this game.

I bet just the options menu drove him nuts, it's a pain to change the simplest of settings due to the way changing anything in there works, seems to suffer heavily from consolitis, even down to the way the game engine works. The engine seems to be running on a 30fps basis, like other console ports, for example dark souls 3. And just like DS3, when you drop to 15fps, it slows down the engine to maintain accuracy because basic calculations are stupidly synced up with the graphical framerate.

Yikes.

> Aight I'm not streaming any more of this, the hitching and random mouse spasms make it unwatchable. I'm gonna mess with settings for a bit
> Long story short, Steam forums are full of people complaining about tech problems, most streamers having tech issues, PC port BORKED #NMS
> Gonna do a bunch of testing with different setting combinations etc, put it on my laptop. See if there are any workarounds.

> So thats W7 rig with 1080 and W10 rig with 970m. All fully updated. I'll leave Digitalfoundry to do the rest, that'll do me just fine.

so many complaints on the forums. truly amazing. my mind is blown

[Teneb]

Welp, asked for a refund. If it won't work after trying every fix imaginable, I might as well get my money back.

[LoSboccacc]

game eula is interesting as well

I fiddled with graphics settings and grabbed Nvidia's beta opengl drivers and got performance to end up at an acceptable level. Had to lower my mouse dpi to avoid mouse horrors ingame though.
