Key Bug Fixes
1. GPU Crash on PlayStation Platforms
- One of the significant fixes in this update addresses a graphics processing unit (GPU) crash that has been reported by players using PlayStation consoles. This issue could lead to unexpected application closures or performance drops during gameplay. The resolution of this crash ensures a smoother gaming experience free from disruptive interruptions.
2. Invisible Player After Jumping and Shooting
- A peculiar bug that caused players to become invisible shortly after jumping and firing their weapons has been rectified. This issue not only disrupted gameplay but also caused frustration in multiplayer settings where visibility is crucial. Players can now engage in jump-and-shoot maneuvers without fear of disappearing from sight.
3. Rider Positioning Error on Synthetic Lifeforms
- Players riding certain synthetic lifeforms experienced an odd gameplay glitch where they would be positioned 50 meters off the ground. This positioning error could disrupt exploration and affect player interactions with the game environment. The fix ensures that players are now correctly positioned on their mounts, allowing for a smoother and more immersive experience as they explore the diverse landscapes of No Man’s Sky.
4. Infestation Issues on Planets
- An issue where some planets became infested, leading to the loss of player settlements and minor terrain shifts, has been resolved. The infestation status of affected planets has been reverted to its pre-Worlds condition. This means that previously infested planets will now return to their normal states, and any new infested planets will also revert to un-infested status. This fix restores the balance and integrity of the game’s ecosystem, allowing players to reclaim lost settlements and engage with the planets as intended.
5. Crash Related to Planetary Rendering
- A significant stability issue involving planetary rendering crashes has been addressed in this update. These crashes could disrupt gameplay during exploration, causing players to encounter sudden game exits while trying to load new worlds. The resolution of this issue improves overall game performance, particularly when navigating through different planets.
6. Rare Rendering Crash
- In addition to the crash related to planetary rendering, the update also fixes a rare rendering crash that could occur intermittently, causing frustration for players.
- By tackling this rare issue, the developers have enhanced the stability and reliability of the game, ensuring that immersive exploration isn’t interrupted by unexpected crashes.
7. Rendering Hang
- The update also corrects a rendering hang issue. This problem could lead to temporary freezes while loading graphics, affecting player experience, especially during dynamic gameplay moments. With this fix in place, the game now processes rendering tasks more efficiently, resulting in smoother transitions and reduced lag during exploration and combat.
