The newest update for No Man's Sky, Orbitals patch 4.65, addresses multiple bugs ranging from incorrectly sized Multi-tools to progression blocking missions for Specialist Polo. The update is the fifth in a string of bug fixing patches since the Orbital update released for No Man's Sky.
The massive Orbital update for No Man's Sky was released at the end of March. It introduced tons of new content, including the ability to build customized ships from scratch. Since then, players have been experiencing a number of bugs related to the update. The team at Hello Games has been staying on top of the reports, providing solutions as soon as available.
No Man's Sky: Mistakes To Avoid When Building A Base
No Man's Sky offers a pretty intuitive and entertaining base-building mechanic but it's easy to make mistakes when crafting your own.
The Orbitals 4.65 update is a lengthy one in terms of the bugs addressed. Initially, the patch will be released on PC with other platforms getting it sometime after. It includes fixes for over 35 issues players are experiencing. The biggest problems focused on were potential progression blockers for Specialist Polo's A Trace of Metal quest, base specialist missions, and the pearl delivery Nexus quest. The patch also addresses potential complications with Space Anomaly missions when in the galaxy center in No Man's Sky.
UI issues with solutions in the update revolve around misleading UI markers when quests are expired, an improved display when selecting different languages, and various text issues in mission logs or conversations. Previous adjustments to the UI, especially issues with the Starship Fabricator used to build a ship in No Man's Sky, took effect earlier this month. Once the update goes live on other platforms, Nintendo Switch players will see an improvement to the game's stability, while everyone will benefit from optimized memory use.
No Man's Sky Orbital introduced multiple features to the delight of players. Featuring an overhaul of Space Stations, Guilds, and NPC interactions, the update gave the eight-year-old game a sense of freshness. As with all large scale updates, the bugs that came along with the new content were plentiful. Multiple hotfixes were issued, with Orbitals update 4.64 and, now, Orbitals update 4.65 resolving the bulk of the issues.
While bugs are a common occurrence in frequently updated titles, the ability to quickly resolve them is what can set apart a great game from a mediocre one. The multiple patches, including Orbitals update 4.65, show the team at Hello Games is committed to player satisfaction and enjoyment.
