I kept statistic on my crash rate with the game for the past month and it was a very consisted crash every 3.6 hours on average. I have now played more than 20 hours between yesterday and today and seen one crash that just came at the very end of my play session. Including leaving the game running during breaks it went for nearly 14 straight hours, and passed through several “crash zones” that were literally certain to cause crashes just a couple days ago, like dogfighting right next to a planet. It finally crashed as I entered the bridge of my freighter, which I had done several times already without issue. This was maybe the 7th or 8th and it finally went, and I could feel the frames dropping so I expected it.

Whatever they did it’s a miracle improvement.

Hello Games and No Man’s Sky have been exceptional at providing so many lovely content updates since launch. And they’ve updated so many visual components as well…but mainly relegated to improving and adding to assets that already exist in the game. Flora, Fauna, Lasers, VFX, space whales etc. etc.

But relatively few of the “beauty” updates with the notable exceptions of NEXT and (edit) ORIGINS. have touched on improving terrain creation.

I can’t help but think that these kind of fundamental updates are being avoided, as to not hurt the base building components of the game.

Do you feel this has become a log jam that is preventing NMS from evolving more complex and dynamic terrain features?

Would you be willing to lose your bases for them to update these features?

Is there a solution that could be implemented to let them keep growing fundamental changes without blowing away all the bases?

Let me know what you think.

There he is in Guilford, slouched in a gaming chair, summer sun is setting, glass of Guinness in one hand. Sean is tapping something on his phone. We’re looking for a new update or new expedition soon, right? So what emoji (or set of emoji) do you hope he will tweet?
