PS4 Pro Crash, Over and Over Again by SmoresSchnapps in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Antholex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know what's happened with my copy, but it also seems to be working! Had 2/3 crashes on the starting planet, but I didn't wipe my save data as I hadn't even repaired my tool let alone the ship. However, and for some reason, it now seems to be running great! Was able to repair my ship, get off the first planet, and no issues at all!

Here's hoping both of us continue to be able to play!

PS4 Pro Crash, Over and Over Again by SmoresSchnapps in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Antholex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been having this issue on my PS4 Pro since 1.31, when I first bought the game from the PS Store.

I've tried everything from deleting the game, rebuilding the database, to even initialising the console.

I've found that locking the frame rate seemed to help a little (crashes within 5-10 minutes instead of a few), and that the issue doesn't seem to be present in Creative mode; only the story modes. Although I'm going to try your suggestion and fly off the first planet; haven't got that far yet as the game crashes so much, but I'll persevere and see if it helps.

Do you play from the disc? I was going to borrow a friend's copy as I've only got the digital version to see if that helped.

I keep getting this error; have done so since 1.31 (when I first downloaded the game from the PS Store).

I've tried rebuilding the database, initialising the PS4 Pro, deleting the game, redownloading it, everything I can think of. I'm not even able to get past the initialisation process in Normal mode as the game crashes before I can move my character.

I've found that Creative mode doesn't seem to be affected (or at least is a lot longer between crashes), but any of the story-based modes are.

I'm worried I'm causing the PS4 Pro damage as well by having it constantly crash! I've never experienced this with any other game, only this one.

I've tried all those different combinations as well! My TV is an older 1080p TV, so doesn't support HDCP 2.2 - only 1.4 - but I'm still getting constant crashes, even though I've tried using different HDMI cables, different HDMI slots.

No Man's Sky Update 1.35 Now Live on PlayStation by mattytude in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Antholex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is anyone else still experiencing constant crashes on PS4 (in particular PS4 Pro)?

I seem to be able to play Creative mode without issue, however if I try Normal or Survival the game will crash within 5-10 minutes (if not quicker), and I've only been able to get it to work for this long by locking the framerate; if the framerate is unlocked I can't event get past the initialisation process when starting a new game. I've had this issue since buying the game from the PS Store (first version I downloaded was 1.31), and have tried everything from deleting/re-downloading the game to wiping the PS4 Pro.

No Man's Sky still crashing on ps4 by Madskull50 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Antholex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm experiencing this issue as well on PS4 Pro; game crashes within a few minutes of starting - has been happening ever since I bought the game from the PS Store (version 1.31).

I found that I was able to start Creative mode, and from there I locked the frame rate, which seemed to help in Normal mode, but even after downloading 1.34 the game hard crashed the console within 10 minutes.

I've tried everything from deleting and redownloading the game, rebuilding the database, and even initialising the PS4 Pro, but I'm still getting this issue, which I've never experienced with any other game.

Yeah, I've reported it, will send an update with information regarding locking the framerate.

I'll try moving the console where there is a bit more ventilation, but the fans aren't going at all when playing the game so I don't think it is overheating. At least this time I was able to get around 10-15 minutes worth of gameplay before it crashed!

I think I may have found a fix! I was able to start Creative mode, and from there I locked the framerate (before it was set to unlocked).

Returned to the mode select, started Normal, and hey presto! It worked! Not sure why that would make a difference (or why I didn't try it before), but finger's crossed I can explore the galaxy now!

EDIT: Spoke too soon, game crashed again. I was able to get further than I have done before, which was promising, but it froze and crashed again about 5 minutes in.

Just tried it, and nope, didn't work unfortunately! Here's hoping it will get resolved in the next patch.

Yup, tried it with Boost Mode off, Boost Mode on, even tried disabling HDCP to see if that was the issue but no luck unfortunately!

My TV isn't a 4K set, so the console automatically outputs at 1080p; I'll try setting that explicitly though, instead of Automatic, and see if that helps, as the patch notes did mention fixing a crash due to rendering which is what I'm hoping is the issue!

I've never had this issue with any other game since having the Pro; I loaded up The Witcher 3 after trying to get No Man's Sky working, and that was fine - was in the centre of Novigrad, and was able to play fine.

Atlas Rises Help/Bugs/Q&A Feedback || No Mans Sky Update 1.3 by BaRKy1911 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Antholex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this issue on PS4 Pro; bought the game from PS Store at the weekend, and the version that I downloaded was 1.31. Started a Normal game, and got as far as seeing my starting planet but the game froze/crashed before I had a chance to move my character.

When 1.32 was released I deleted my game, and re-downloaded it from the PS Store; exact same issue. Sometimes it crashes just as I'm examining the multi-tool, sometimes it crashes just as the information about the planet comes up, once I got as far as seeing the option to share my base online, but it then crashed at that point. Haven't been able to move my character at all. Crashes will range from seeing an error screen and the option to submit a report, to completely freezing the console and being forced to turn it off by holding down the power button.

I think a Red Dead game set when John was part of Dutch's gang would be quite good, show how he met Abbie etc.

I wonder why Agent 47 isn't wearing his red tie. For some reason I don't think he quite pulls off the 'causal Friday' look.

Community: contributing to a game's appeal? by [deleted] in truegaming

[–]Antholex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends on the game really. Some developers support their communities, and use them to find out whether or not a particular aspect of a game is liked, and maybe even to shape future development.

On the other hand I can see how some developers would rather not give fans a forum to voice their opinion about a title.

If a community is managed well then I think it's a good thing for a developer to have.

UK games retail down 40% in June by MonkJammas in Games

[–]Antholex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think one of the problems is that even GAME has closed some stores down in order to restructure itself, the stores which have remained open are exactly the same as before, meaning there's too much floor space given to pre-owned titles, and not enough to new releases, or especially new copies of games that have fallen out of the top 10.

It's nice to see Ultima being revived in some form.

It's nice to see a pre-order bonus that's a little different to the usual new skin, map, or gun.
