No Man’s Sky receives Update 4.15, bringing new features and bug fixes
No Man’s Sky is a space-based action-adventure game that has been regularly updated since its initial release in 2016. The latest major update, Fractal, brought new content and support for the PlayStation VR2 but also caused various game-breaking bugs. Developer Hello Games has since released patch 4.15 to fix these issues, improving the overall experience for players.
Fractal Update: What’s New?
The Fractal Update added full support for the PlayStation VR2, including enhanced reflections, better textures, and increased draw distance. It also introduced new content for players to explore, such as a new starship and the Utopia Expedition challenge, where players must work together to rebuild an abandoned solar system. However, some players encountered issues that hindered gameplay and even caused console crashes.
Patch 4.15: What’s Fixed?
Patch 4.15 was released a month after the Fractal Update to address the technical issues that surfaced. It fixed an issue that caused performance issues on the PlayStation VR2, prevented rumble from working correctly on the PlayStation 5, and caused water reflections to be missing on some graphics settings. The patch also resolved a variety of other issues, such as blurriness and visual glitches during warp, base building control issues for PSVR with Move controllers, and rare issues that prevented players from accessing their refiners or the Space Anomaly.
The Community’s Take
No Man’s Sky has come a long way since its rocky launch in 2016, and it has built a strong community of players who enjoy exploring the game’s countless star systems and discovering various alien species. Some players have even shared their highlights and creations on social media, such as recreating Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from Harry Potter or 3D printing their own multi-tool complete with a laser.
Despite its initial setbacks, No Man’s Sky has redeemed itself through regular updates and improvements. The latest Fractal Update and subsequent patch 4.15 have added new content and fixed technical issues to enhance the overall gameplay experience. The game’s community continues to thrive, with players sharing their adventures and creations for the world to see. No Man’s Sky is available on various platforms, including PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
