The latest update for No Man’s Sky, titled Orbital patch 4.65, aims to tackle a plethora of bugs that have been plaguing players since the release of the Orbital update. No Man’s Sky, developed by Hello Games, received the massive Orbital update towards the end of March, introducing a slew of new features, including the ability to construct customised ships from scratch. However, alongside these exciting additions came a wave of bugs and glitches that hindered players’ experiences.
The Orbital update 4.65 is the fifth in a series of patches specifically designed to address these issues. Hello Games has been actively monitoring player feedback and reports, promptly working to provide solutions to the various bugs encountered since the update’s release.
One of the primary focuses of the 4.65 patch is resolving over 35 issues that players have been facing. These include issues ranging from incorrectly sized Multi-tools to missions that were causing progression blockages for Specialist Polo. Additionally, problems with base specialist missions and the pearl delivery Nexus quest have been targeted for fixes in this update. Furthermore, complications with Space Anomaly missions, particularly when in the galaxy centre, have been addressed.
User interface (UI) problems have also been tackled in this update. Players can expect improvements in UI markers, especially when quests expire, as well as enhanced display when selecting different languages. Various text issues in mission logs or conversations have been rectified as well.
Notably, adjustments to the Starship Fabricator, used to build ships in the game, have already been implemented earlier this month. Once the update is rolled out to other platforms, Nintendo Switch players will notice improvements in game stability, while all players will benefit from optimised memory usage.
The Orbital update brought significant enhancements to No Man’s Sky, rejuvenating the eight-year-old game with overhauls to Space Stations, Guilds, and NPC interactions. However, as with any major update, it also brought along its fair share of bugs. Multiple hotfixes have been released in quick succession, with updates 4.64 and 4.65 being the latest in a series of efforts to address player concerns.
Bugs are an inevitable part of game development, especially for titles with frequent updates. However, the ability to swiftly identify and resolve these issues can significantly impact the player experience. The consistent efforts by Hello Games to address player feedback and swiftly release patches, including the Orbital update 4.65, underscore their commitment to ensuring player satisfaction and enjoyment.
The patch notes for Orbital update 4.65 detail an extensive list of bug fixes, addressing issues such as problems with the weapon upgrade shop on space stations, damage caused to ships when firing certain weapons, and issues with frigate fleet expeditions. Various visual and stability improvements have also been made across different platforms, demonstrating Hello Games’ dedication to enhancing the overall gameplay experience.
As No Man’s Sky continues to evolve and grow, players can look forward to more updates and improvements in the future, ensuring that their journey through the vast universe of No Man’s Sky remains engaging and enjoyable.
