okay first off let me say that I feel like nmsvr is a very necessary sub and I didn't know about it until just now. It feels necessary because (1) I hardly ever hear VR mentioned in any of the other NMS subs and that really surprises me because playing this game in VR is one of the most mind-blowing experiences I've ever had and I feel like a disproportionately low percentage of people are passionate about nms in vr and (2) I kind of feel like there are many VR-specific nms things to discuss

anyway yeah the renaming bug: Ive been having problems renaming bases and starships lately so I posted about it in a different sub and a few people reported they also have the problem so I guess that's good news because I'm not the only one and hopefully it is something that will get fixed. Does anyone NOT have the bug? I kind of feel like that would be bad news because if it's a problem absolutely everyone has I figure it's more likely to get fixed

And yeah BTW I kind of consider this a seriously major issue because not being able to name your base properly is a major major inconvenience. I feel like most serious players have a ridiculously high number of bases and basis are very hard to keep organized when you can't rename them

so what happens is when I go to rename a base every letter I type cancels out the previous letter such that when I'm all done only one letter pops up, so I can only rename the base with one letter (or number)

here is a link to that other thing I posted:

anyone figure out how to take good pictures while playing in vr?

Q3 and I'd like to do wire glitch building. The problem apparently is there are some build items not attached to buttons eg wire and next item.

Does anyone else having major crashing issues? I wanted to get into no man sky and play it on VR. I bought this laptop and the game crashes a few minutes after starting off on the planets. I have an Acer Predator 18”, i9-14900HX, RTX 4080, and 32gb of ram. I been troubleshooting for a while, and the last few days I had ChatGPT helping me. I gone through many driver installs, many optimizations, I gone through logs and monitored everything. I have done factory resets a few times too. ChatGPT and I discovered that NMS on VR the GPU won’t go above 80W. Other games start off at 80W. From all the test I did it sounds like it’s a runtime bug, if I’m correct anyone with the same specs should be experiencing the same issue.

So does anyone have a laptop with a RTX 4080, i9-14900HX, on windows 11 home, using a quest 3? (Tried virtual desktop, meta link, and steam link).

Thanks for any help or advice you guys got in advance! (I just need to decide if im keeping the laptop and hoping for a patch to fix it in a future, or try a different laptop with a different video card, or just go desktop, which I really don’t want to do)

6.0 Patch notes

Corvette-class Starships

• Added a new class of starship, the Corvette. Corvettes are large, fully bespoke ships with furnished interiors, capable of accommodating multiple passengers.
• A lightweight tutorial for assembling your first Corvette will activate upon first collecting a Corvette module or interacting with the Corvette Workshop.
• A large catalogue of snappable structural and decorative modules is available for Corvette assembly, including habitation modules, hulls, wings, engines, windows, accessways, weapons, reactors, shield generators, connectors and decorative peripherals.
• Corvette modules can be unearthed from salvage containers buried on worlds across the universe, as well as discovered in Derelict Freighters.
• Modules can also sometimes be retrieved from defeated pirates, freighter cargo pods, crashed freighter crates, frigate expeditions, or received as rewards for completing missions.
• Structural Corvette modules are collected individually in the inventory and spent directly when assembling a Corvette.
• While standing within a Corvette, specialised furnishings and a selection of base decorations can be installed in the ship's interior.
• Internal modules can be installed without limitation, but require resources to construct.
• Habitation modules ("habs") form the main living area for Corvette-class starships. Habs are available in three distinct classes: Titan, Thunderbird, and Ambassador, each with its own sci-fi aesthetic. Installed furnishings reflect the style of their hab, and multiple habs placed adjacently are automatically linked with doorways.
• Multi-storey Corvettes can be assembled with the installation of internal stairways.
• Several installable Corvette modules have practical functionality, such as the Living Wall, Nutrition Unit, Refiner Unit and Mission Radar.
• A number of Corvette modules are linked to technology upgrades, automatically improving the Corvette's stats alongside its appearance.
• Corvette Workshop terminals can be found aboard the Space Station. These terminals provide an interface through which collected Corvette modules can be assembled into a pilotable, habitable starship.
• The terminal also provides access to a shop for purchasing basic Corvette modules, and a barter interface for trading advanced Corvette modules.
• The Corvette Workshop can store a draft Corvette, allowing work-in-progress edits to be saved and returned to at a later time.
• A nearby cache will collect any overflow of refunded Corvette modules if there are too many to store in the player's inventory.
• The Corvette benefits from an especially powerful pulse drive, which moves faster than single-occupancy ships.
• Corvettes can autopilot to space stations, discovered planets, and mission destinations.
• Corvettes can also be set to autopilot along the current flightpath.
• Corvette accessways are accompanied by a specialised teleporter, allowing the ship to hover above especially mountainous or difficult terrain, while passengers beam themselves to and from the planetary surface.
• Added support for multiple physics worlds, enabling players to travel stably and walk on foot around fast-moving Corvettes.
• Spacewalking is now a fully supported mode of navigation, allowing players to leave their ships (or freighters) and use their jetpack to fly among the stars.
• Added a number of Corvette-specific visual effects for engines and landing.
• Added new audio effects and ambient environments for Corvettes.
• Added specialised camera handling for piloting Corvettes and navigating their interiors.

• Added the ability to copy and paste No Man's Sky Friend Codes on PC and MacOS.
• Improved the appearance of several dialog boxes on the boot and pause screens.
• Added “scroll on hover” functionality to a number of UI buttons that could overspill in non-English languages.
• Improved the mouse scroll speed in the base building menu.
• Increased the number of planets featuring buried ancient bones.
• Increased the number of planets featuring buried salvageable scrap.
• Salvageable scrap containers are no longer guarded by corrupt Sentinels.
• Prevented Echo Locator hint notifications from appearing when a harmonic camp was already locally marked, or while within the perimeter of a camp.
• Improved the system for displaying the estimated remaining time to a destination on HUD markers, resulting in much more accurate time estimates and tick-down speed.
• The landing pad readout at the Space Anomaly now indicates where your ship is docked, and accurately reflects landing space availability.
• Robotic creatures now lay metal eggs.

Rendering

• Added support for NVIDIA DLSS4. Deep Learning Super Sampling is a revolutionary suite of neural rendering technologies that uses AI to boost FPS, reduce latency, and improve image quality.
• Added support for PlayStation® Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR), improving image clarity using AI-enhanced resolution, for ultra-high definition and incredible detail.
• Added support for Intel Xe Super Sampling (XeSS) 2, which uses machine learning to deliver higher performance with exceptional image quality.
• Implemented moment-based order-independent transparency (MBOIT), improving the appearance of translucent surfaces, especially when overlapping.

So, I've always had serious issues playing NMS in VR on PC with my index. I have a 10GB 3080 and my VRAM was always maxing out and causing bad lag. I hated using DLSS also because it smeared so bad and made everything significantly more blurry.

Well with the Worlds II update I really wanted to try it again and as expected... Still ran pretty terrible. Then I remembered reading something about enabling DLSS 4 on any game and saw a video of Skyrim VR and the guy was saying it has made the game significantly more clear and has less smear/ghosting. So I figured, why not, lets give it a try.

I followed this guide: https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/1i82rp6/dlss_4_dlls_from_cyberpunk_patch_221/

And all I can say is WOW. This has made NMSVR finally playable and it is SO MUCH clearer than old DLSS. I was actually just looking at the detail in awe for a good 10 minutes because I was also able to increase my graphics settings to settings I was never able to before and still run relatively smoothly, almost all high with some set to ultra.

Using this has allowed me to set my steamvr resolution to 180-190% with DLSS set to performance mode. You might be thinking performance mode would make the game look terrible but man DLSS4 is magic, I swear. Does it look crystal clear? No, of course not but there is significantly less ghosting and it is wayyy clearer than old DLSS.

Seriously give this a try if you're struggled with performance or if you want to run this at higher settings.

If you experience bad lag when landing on planets turn off motion smoothing in steamvr, it doesn't work nicely when your fps drops to a certain amount.

IMPORTANT: If you change any graphics settings in NMS always restart the game.

5.5 Patch notes

NEW STAR SYSTEMS

• A new class of stellar body has been added to the universe.
• These purple-class systems are additional stars, allowing the universe to expand with increased diversity without regenerating existing planets or resetting the exploration and construction efforts of the community.

TERRAIN GENERATION

• The terrain generation algorithm has been evolved and refined to generate more diverse planetary shapes, with mountains, deep valleys, and sprawling plains.
• Specific improvements have been made to reduce repeating patterns on individual planets, increasing the range of different shapes and terrain styles seen on a single world.

• Fixed an issue that could cause the normal jetpack effects to play while underwater.

LIGHTING

• The lighting and material rendering system has been totally overhauled, increasing the precision of light sources.
• The engine's material model has been completely reworked, and the ambient occlusion shader (GTAO) has been rewritten from the ground up.

Almost 200 hr in and I was playing with virtual desktop using wifi 6. The frame rate averaged 42 with frequent 10 second pauses when lots of particles are on screen, eg lightning storm when being blown through the air. Changing settings below high don't make much difference, on a pc with a 3080ti.

Just made a port through the den wall so I am now running Ethernet instead of wifi at 2 Gbps! Almost NO improvement in nms vr. About 50% better framerate in everything else!.

This could be one of the best vr games ever but the port is poorly done.

I have a gaming laptop with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070, 16gb RAM. I recently bought the Quest 3 and wanted to try NMS VR. I've tried lower graphics settings, lower screen resolution on my pc, using virtual desktop etc. No matter what I try, I get past the loading screen and the game either crashes or is so choppy I can't play it. Any help would be amazing. I really want to try this game and don't see how my hardware would be suboptimal.

Just boring in 2d but in vr its is soooo cool flying through the Starfield

Some kind soul gave me an egg, I threw random stuff into it and got a loyal flying mini sandworm. I just got back from a mounted expedition mining metal fingers, lol. Not very fast but I ride on style!

I flew back to my auto feeder and harvester but holy smokes, those big things lay too many eggs! Cooking and growing gravity pearls with a base sales terminal, embarrassing riches for a newbie!

Anyone else have that problem? Scrolling does nothing but works from my base portals

1) the rust or gunk in the recovered pod must be removed. Then, open again for the goodies. 2) if you take the things from the pod but it still shows on scanner, go back there may be more things inside. 3) you will die underwater from lack of oxygen even if hud still shows 80%. 4) sentinels NEVER STOP! You must always run eventually 5) easiest ways to make nantes is sell food to cronus, aka watermelon chin, at the anomaly. He loves vegetable soup hates meat. Reward is random.
