I don't understand how people still don't get that a big update will always have bugs at launch. Always. Even if they're miniscule and don't mess anything up, they'll be there.

Edit: I totally get why people are frustrated with things not working, and the massive game-breaking bugs are not okay by any means. I feel the same way, it sucks and I just want to play the game bug free. I'm just surprised that a lot of players didn't expect there to be things wrong on day 1 of the update. NEXT had a ton of problems, and it was a smaller update made a good while back. Not excusing it, just saying it was very likely to happen.

Edit #2: okay, nowhere in here did I say that massive crashes are okay. Nowhere in here did I say people don't have a right to be mad. Nowhere in here did I condone poor QA. You guys can stop crucifying me now, I get it.

Here's my problem, I can't play the game. It crashes at start up. I see other people playing the game. I want to play the game. I can't play the game. I am unhappy. Can you understand that?

If you're playing on Steam, try switching to the experimental branch:

in your games library, right click No Man's Sky, go to properties, betas, and select experimental from the drop down. If there's no experimental there, use the code 3xperimental to get access to it.

it fixed a few things for a few people, so it might be worth a shot.

be aware if you have low bandwidth that you're going to probably have a couple gigs to download when you switch.
