No Mans Sky Fps Boost
May well have been Steam’s biggest launch of the year, but there’s no denying it’s having a litany of issues on PC. Everyone at RPS who’s played it has had one problem or another, and clearly from the feedback we’re receiving, so are many of you. So below we’ve collected together all the current fixes and workarounds for the game until next week’s patch goes live.And if you’re very keen, there’s now an experimental version of the game with untested patches applied.
Details for how to access it are below.Before we start, it’s really important to make sure your machine meets the minimum spec for the game. They are:OS: Windows 7/8.1/10 (64-bit versions)Processor: Intel Core i3Memory: 8 GB RAMGraphics: nVidia GTX 480, AMD Radeon 7870Storage: 10 GB available space.Requires OpenGL 4.5, Intel cards are not supported.Core 2 CPUs and below are not supportedAnd make sure you’re graphics drivers are up to date. It’s not worth starting to fix anything before you’ve done those two.Framerate IssuesIt seems fairly safe to say that beyond many AMD users’ not being able to load the game at all, framerate stutters are the biggest problem with the game.
And we’re not talking, “Wah wah I’m only getting 59fps” tedium – we’re talking the game freezing, or struggling to run smoothly even on systems way over spec. Hello Games report this appears to be an issue with shader caches (.nods sagely as if he understands.), and they’re working on a fix. However, they say, the more you play, the better this gets. Which is admittedly an odd fix, but one I can report is true – I was having the game freeze for a couple of seconds every scan or landing on Friday, now it’s far less common.We’ve also found that lowering the game’s Generation Detail to medium makes a big difference here, although that’s a bummer of a setting to have to lower.Others are finding the game is falling well short of the framerate limit they’ve set for it. The solution is – counter-intuitively – to boost the framerate limit way over what you’re after. Try putting it to 90. I’ve set mine to Max, and it locks out at a perfect 60fps.
Even Worse Framerates And Texture FlickeringThis, it seems, might be to do with Steam’s overlay. If you’re finding chunks of the world are flashing around you, hit Shift-Tab while in-game, and the Steam overlay should appear.

Bottom middle is Settings, click that, then the tab for In-Game. In there you can untick “Enable the Steam overlay while in game”. I think the game needs to be restarted for this to work. Hello also ask that you email support@hellogames.co.uk with as much info as possible if this is happening to you, as they’re trying to figure it out with Valve.The other possibility for suddenly abysmal frame drops is your graphics card running out of memory. At this point your PC switches over to your CPU RAM. Game not like that.

If your graphics card is below spec, that’s going to be the problem. If it’s not, try lowering the resolution you’re running the game at to see if that helps, or set the texture quality down a peg.Alt-tabbingA universal issue is that the game doesn’t seem to cope with being alt-tabbed out of while in full-screen mode. That’s pretty unforgivable not to have been spotted in testing, as it’s a strongly expected standard of Windows gaming. However, the game isn’t lost when you forget and do it anyway (so many times, so many times).
