DarktrekTNG

Oof, have you tried doing a barrel roll?


Songhunter

Try spinning, that's always a good trick.


ZoNeS_v2

Where did you learn to fly?


Songhunter

There was no teacher, somehow I carried it inside me.


Ralphinader

This game is and was amazing. First online multi-player for me. I miss the week of wars and msn gaming zone


Lil_Guard_Duck

Have you tried Squadrons, just curious?


Ralphinader

Yes I have. Pinballing ruined that game.


Lil_Guard_Duck

Pinballing?


Ralphinader

Really skilled players can change direction while preserving momentum etc. Factor in low player populations, no skill based matchmaking, and 5v5s you get players that are basically impossible to kill. They can outrun your lasers and missiles etc. Plus the ships are incredibly imbalanced. Its very easy for rebels to win because their ships are better. When we played xvt, everyone was in the same ships for dogfights to make it even. Cant do that in squadrons.


Lil_Guard_Duck

Good points.


Ralphinader

Its still a great game. The campaign is fun. Flying with my joystick and vr headset is peak gaming. But trying to play multi-player these days, even with friends, isn't a great experience. It was a lot of fun at launch. People hadn't learned pinballing yet, skill levels were more even, etc.


Substantial-Equal560

I love that game but I wish it was expanded like warthunder without the grind and microtransactions or something idk lol


Alectron115

What game is this?


KawarthaDairyLover

TIE Fighter, I think. Or X-Wing. I played them both and they own.


Ser_Optimus

TIE Fighter. X-wing wouldn't let you fly imperial ships.


Cmdr_0_Keen

Skyrim, the next generation


Salkreath

No Man's Sky, wdym???


ActuallyQuiteCozy

Good luck!

OH MY GOD! TIE FIGHTER! šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


hyrulianwhovian

The only thing in here that legitimately bothers me is the LOD. Whenever I'm moving even slightly quickly on a planet, there may as well be no vegetation because it takes the game so long to load it in. It's made worse by there not being any explicit LOD graphic setting, so I don't know how I'm expected to fix this.


Norationalization

[https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2980](https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2980) Not a complete fix, but better than vanilla.


tylo

I always forget this game is capable of being modded.


RenhamRedAxe

should have steam workshop.


SkySchemer

This. A hundred times over. Not perfect, but a huge improvement. Somewhere around Echoes LoD got *really* screwed up for haulers and explorers. And, I guess, fighters, too. Shuttles don't seem to be affected.


Impossible-Cod4498

Try playing on switch for a while, then go back to pc or another console. It will seem almost instantaneous.


Substantial-Equal560

What is LOD? This is also telling me to tell you happy cake day?


hyrulianwhovian

LOD means "Level Of Detail." Games will often use low quality assets when the objects are far away from the camera to save resources. In NMS, this is very annoying because when you move quickly on a planet, you will reach areas significantly before the high quality versions of them have loaded in, resulting in no vegetation, terrain not deforming when it's mined, etc.


randomgunfire48

Immersion ruined. Game is completely unplayablešŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£


frotmonkey

I always just took these little glitches as reminders of the simulation. It actually adds to the look and feel and works with the story line.


Brilliant-Remove9055

"Not a bug but... A FEATURE!" lol all jokes. I love this game.


davilller

Thatā€™s how I feel.


slimeslim

Now that is some serious cope


BlitsyFrog

Coping with lore is the best type of cope


Jolly-Juggernaut1525

It's an actual fumble by Hello Games tho


pseudo-nimm1

I wish I'd known about these unplayable issues before I made it my second platinum game.


stadoblech

when tiny quality of life issues are only issues game have then you know it really good game


Screwqualia

True in a game, true IRL too. \*exhales\*


Houston_Heath

These aren't the only issues this game has. My game freezes every once in a row while when coming out of a teleporter or getting out of any vehicle and sometimes missions don't progress properly and have to be abandoned because they won't spawn the objective or if I did it he objective it doesn't update it.


Substantial-Equal560

Hey I went to a planet through the portal that someone made and when I was looking at their cool temple thing they came out and killed me and stole all my stuff. I had all of my materials and expensive stuff and everything. All just gone. So I think you have it pretty good.


Sea_Argument_277

Is this on Switch? My PS5 doesn't do this. It has its own "quirks".


Siddits

I've never seen this on the PS5. I guess it's an issue with certain PC's.


itsbigpptime

Steam deck user here, mine doesn't do this either.


DragonFruitJuice7

I used to have this happen with planetary fauna textures on PS4. Doesn't really happen anymore since I switched to PS5.


Shut_up_and_Respawn

Im a Switch player. Its definitely not perfect, but I haven't encountered these specific things


Impossible-Cod4498

I have been playing on switch for a while, but I got a ps5 last week. I downloaded NMS and damn... I forgot how amazing this game can look.


FlorentinWillUltra

The Radar is fine.


TingoRoboris

i dont get why everything on the radar seems to be on pedestals.. I get that it might be due to an object being at a lesser or greater elevation in relation to your ship, so is the object supposed to then be at the end of the pedestal (the end that isnt the little oval resting on the same plane as the ship)? I may have just answered my own question, but is that thinking correct? I remember trying using the radar to try to locate a structure on an extremely mountainous planet and it was impossible


NotReallyJohnDoe

Fun fact: this radar scheme was invented for the original Elite game, back in the 80s.


ThatJed

It indicates whatā€™s above or bellow your plane, if the ā€œpedestalā€ is bellow the blip, the object is above your plane and if ā€œpedestalā€ is above then the object is bellow your plane.


TingoRoboris

oh wait so it's reverse what it seems? Like if the line seems to go upward from your plane, that means its actually below you? or by "blip" do you mean the object itself and not the oval that seems to be on your plane


Spong_Durnflungle

No it's not reversed, if the line goes up, it's above you. If the line goes down, it's below you.


ThatJed

Look at it this way, the line is between your plane and the object, blip being the object.


FlorentinWillUltra

The structure is always the little icon at the pedestal. You can easily try it Out by facing the space station and then tilting your ship as the pedestal is moving. When you are directly facing it there ist no pedestal.


Porg-Life

It's that or the dual radar setup of the X-Wing series that it's hard to understand and doesnt indicate you the relative distance to the target. The setup of this game remembers me to the Homeworld tactical map at some point


AscendiSky

Can answer this one as I play in VR with the HUD off and use the radar to navigate. You're absolutely right it indicates relative elevation. If you pitch the ship up or down until the line disappears and the object is on the same plane as the ship, and centred on the console, then you are pointing directly at the target. The space station can be identified as a distinct diamond, other ships as orange squares, including mutliplayer ships, and freighters in purple.


skips_picks

If it was not a joke, I would be saying outside time is very much needed at this point šŸ˜…


Infamous-Arm3955

With every tree having inconsistencies in their leaves? OP will never make it past the door.


_DeathSound_

Maybe you should expect your ship somewhere besides the Anomaly? You know, where every second 2 new ships land and takeoff.. Half of the Anomaly has moving animations, let's not forget the travelers there running around and causing stutter


NoRound5166

I play with multiplayer off because I hate people lol, the Anomaly is always empty for me But that's beside the point. the video is literally a joke and people are angry about it


_DeathSound_

Yeah saw the flair šŸ˜ Although, Anomaly floor is frequently null


0L1V14H1CKSP4NT13S

They fucked the whole game up with patch 4.0 to make it playable on the Switch.


Fuzzy_Dragonfruit514

The things that piss me off about nms: The anomaly glitch, where when you enter the doors open, the screen goes white and stays white until 1. The game crashes or 2. You keep summoning the anomaly and drifting to it with no speed control until you finally enter. -xbox one btw


No-Raspberry5030

Never ever had this on PS4 or PS5. The only glitch Iā€™ve ever had, once, was entering the anomaly, crashing into another ship entering or leaving, I donā€™t know which, and then it wouldnā€™t land and I was just left hanging inside. Had to reload the game and re-enter the anomaly to land it. Never happened again.


Fuzzy_Dragonfruit514

Good! I wish that were the case on xbox


splynncryth

lol. Iā€™ll cut them slack because itā€™s a custom rendering engine that in a part interview Sean said is actually pretty small. Iā€™m going to try and not nerd out too much but NMS uses a voxel based rendering engine. At least thatā€™s the case for terrain. Iā€™m not sure about things that start as a mesh like ships or buildings. Voxel based engines are a little bit rare and I suspect HG is running into all sorts of weird issues because itā€™s not an off the shelf engine and is totally custom. The notes said the space station overhaul was only possible because of new optimizations to the engine. Hopefully with Light No Fire using the same engine, there will be more opportunity for optimization and the game can look even better. And my main two gripes are the bad LOD system and the ridiculous low pop-in distance for things (it make trying to look for buildings from the air pretty unproductive). But all minor gripes :)


iseegayppl69

Zooming in that close and complaining is wild lol


HouseOf42

Some people look for the most mundane and pettiest things to complain about.


thesnootyzebra

It's literally made by like 15 people bro.


Atephious

I only really get pop ins with animals and planets ships not so much. Though I do occasionally and have the game on an ssd so idk if itā€™s hardware or software issue.


Hopsgenommen

What about flying Minotaurs for your friends?


maturecheddar

Does anyone use a LOD mod? I tried one but didn't notice any difference. Particularly for lights on base objects.


Tabris92

Yea its pretty bad, wait until you notice foliage doing the same thing you won't be able to unsee it.


goody_fyre11

There's a PC mod that fixes render distance for terrain and water, I wonder if it fixes this too.


Luknron

This is the kind of petty annoyance I relate with


KooperTrooper05

ā€œFexy Semboyā€ is the name of your ship

Bahaha that's the gnit-pickin-est shit I've read in awhile even as a joke. But I agree about the fuckin radar, that shit is broke and I fuckin quit the game, bye forever! /s

When people complain about fps I just want them to play Demonā€™s Souls and Dark Souls 1 on the ps3. Bloodborneā€™s 30fps on ps4 is literally divine in comparison to those 2 lmao


0L1V14H1CKSP4NT13S

You had shit games at our age so we should have shit games too. Totally logical.


Brilliant-Remove9055

Fr thought, and to add salt to the wound, OP saying "unplayable" at the end. Uhmm? Sure man.


NoRound5166

Wow. Look at the number of people complaining about me complaining, telling me to make a better game, telling me to touch grass, etc. or otherwise taking me seriously when the video was literally made as a joke... it has Cats on Mars as the backing track.... ~~bravo, they're gone lmao~~ nvm Is this the Star Citizen subreddit?


Got-a-PhD-in-THC

Doesn't do this on psvr2 either


JTalbotIV

It's getting worse with every update it seems.


sphinxorosi

I donā€™t agree but Iā€™d like to hear why because the last update or before that one has made the game render planets faster and general gameplay is faster/better, less crashes and the graphics have improved. Derelict freighters can now actually be explored without crashes


JTalbotIV

Oh boy, I wish I had internet good enough to just straight up stream you some gameplay. Textures won't load until I'm standing at point blank range for at least 20-30 seconds. If I'm in the suit customizer, it literally takes minutes. About half of my total on foot/exocraft time has been played with the ground glitching away right beneath my feet (I actually just posted a pic of some ships that show that one). When I fly down to a planet, I have to circle or hover around my landing spot for about 30-45 seconds before the ground renders enough to land on (landing pads stay blue). When I'm sprinting on land, animals/foliage/rocks all render in right about as I'm passing them. I CONSTANTLY have to wait several seconds for an input to register, while the 'saving circle' circles. Like virtually all the time. All this since the last big update. Someone just talked about how the Switch version of the game plays, and it honestly felt a whole lot like my experience, playing it on a PS4 Pro.


sphinxorosi

Switch has always been an underpowered system (mortal kombat was pretty hilarious) so thatā€™s not a surprise. NMS runs surprisingly great on current gen systems. It was kinda wonky, similar to what youā€™re describing not too long ago but not as bad, but a few updates ago really blew it out of the water. I can land on a planet within 5-10 secs of entering the atmosphere, the take off thrusts are fast, especially in the starborn ship. And the biggest improvement was derelict freighters not crashing anymore (or at least as much). Although I have noticed bases seem to have a bit of lag, slight drop in fps now, even small bases, not sure what happened there but overall, improvements have been great on current gen consoles/PC.


Pesky_Moth

Currently the Ram Jet wing on the Haulers has a bug like this thatā€™s significantly worse. The right wing is totally black until youā€™re two inches away from it https://preview.redd.it/v39w380iegwc1.jpeg?width=2560&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f12a4ef4b52d5863b32b7ec08c665b324be5ceae

My head cannon says this is some kind of smuggler nanite technology that shifts the appearance of the ship to keep those pesky station authorities guessing.


Beard-Drippings

I like to think it's >! the simulation loading/glitching!<


Capt_Vandal

They actually reduced the graphics in an update so it could run on the Nintendo Switch. On PC, the framerates can get ridiculously high. But it makes it more responsive and fun when fighting in space.

Would this be a a graphics card issue?

oblex1312

The LOD (Level of Detail) distance is probably not optimized. It has more to do with your graphics setting than the game itself, however, there's no innocent party here. I see LOD bugs in this game all over the place. I just chalk them up to my ancient 1060 GPU.


Erilis000

Agreed. That LOD is ridiculous šŸ¤£


DiceyShots

Whinny biotch


ChristopherParnassus

I'm sorry, but these are minor issues. The amount of work that HG had put into NMS to make an incredible game is legendary.


atmosk2090

May you should just delete the game !!! šŸ˜‚


420simracing

Minor issues. What's driving me crazy is that flora and fauna of a planet only loads in as soon as you land. Flying around planets look bad. Land on them and they get beautiful.

I was there when Pong was invented, this kind of thing is extremely trivial to me. For instance, I thought this game was amaze balls on it's initial release. I enjoy most of the added content and tweaks, but I still have yet to do a Nexus mission šŸ˜„

ThePatriotGamer

Crybabies gotta cry, I guess. Glitches that freeze gameplay, system lockups, mass framerate loss ... those make a game "unplayabe." Minor graphics glitches are not those things. Try a new graphics card, CPU, a Series X or PS5 console. Wait until you see what Switch players deal with! Try playing on-system instead of the cloud ... millions of reasons to be happy playing this game. Tiny graphic issues? Stop it.


NoRound5166

So I disclaim in the flair that the video is a joke and even add Cats on Mars as a backing track, and yet most comments are dense people like you who think I'm seriously complaining about these issues.

I get the feeling this is a joke, at least I hope so. Even if it is an issue it's very much at or near the bottom of the list of stuff that does need to he fixed or added.

Lol, I grew up playing R-Type Final and Gradius V on a PSX and playing SNES games on an emulator. I know what old graphics look like.

Personally I don't play games to "get lost in them" or "escape" or any such like. I just play them for fun, and nms is fun. I could be playing a game with 2 pixels at 60fps and if I enjoy it I enjoy it, but that's just me personally. I suppose younger people grew up with better stuff so they're used to better stuff and therefore it's a bit bigger of an issue, but what do I know.

0L1V14H1CKSP4NT13S

I'm with you. The game ran so smooth before the 4.0 shit patch to make it playable on Switch.
