VR jetpack steering is broken with Index/Knuckles in Teleport mode. Jetpack only goes up/down. Pointing the right controller does nothing for lateral movement.

Broke in Voyagers 6.02. Still broken in current and experimental build. Ruled out on my end: clean Windows/Steam/NMS reinstall, new account + save, default bindings, multiple Index HMDs, and controllers.

I’ve been able to confirm that other Index/Knuckle users have this same problem.

getting a starship too close error when trying to build, but there is no ship or landing pad nearby. on PS5. creative mode. using pipes

[u/Wesir54]

I don't know if anyone else has encountered this but if I tab out of the game while it's in pulse jump the game pauses itself mid jump and all the little lines that fly by normally start rapidly flashing to the point where it could cause issues if anyone's got epilepsy (it's bad enough it bothers me even without it).

There a way to stop the pausing when it loses focus so I can look at stuff while waiting on it to reach a destination? Thanks

So, at the moment, I'm not sure what's going on but many, many things break in multiplayer that work just fine in single player with multiplayer off when i launch it. I'm new, so, this all may have been reported before.

1. Boarding a Freighter - never works in multiplayer. I either dont get the landing option (things closed) after rescuing it from pirates, or, i hop into the middle of the freighter in my ship and i'm stuck until such time as I relaunch the game.
2. Most mainline quests error - either infinite warping required, or I'll get to a holo terminal and endlessly be shoved to go to the next, etc. Again, relaunching in single player solved it.
3. Invincible ships - with your own ship's name or your friend's name. If you get into a pirate fight in multiplayer, you may wind up with ships that are uncatchable/unkillable and show up as your own color/tag or your friends.
4. Invisible ships - Sentinel or Pirate bigger ships (blanking on the name now, sorry, but the big ones. Capital ships?) may only render for a single player. The smaller pirate ships will render for everyone if you dont get bug #3.
5. Invisible sentinels - Same as the above, just not the ship kind. You and your friend may be fighting something each other can't see, or you *both* are at the same time (could be a sync problem in that case).

Almost always if i restart in singleplayer mode with multiplayer off, do these problems resolve. But it's made playing in multiplayer *very* painful.

(Platform - PC, version - latest)

In Xeno arena, there’s a turn-based bug. Here’s how it works:
Condition: you have a higher agility and are going first
1. You initiate a multi-turn attack (a 3 turn attack)
2. Your opponent does something that causes their own pet to get knocked out
3. While the opponent is selecting another creature, your pet attacks the blank space as part of their multi-turn attack

This doesn’t happen if your attack knocks the opponent out. It only happens if they knock themselves out (like those attacks that cause both you and them damage, for example)

That does sound frustrating, especially if it messes with your strategy. Bugs like that can really throw off the whole experience in a game.

PC V6.45.1, but has been around since the update where HG rearranged/reordered the contents of the material files. Silver Atlantid multitools with the yellow sphere - the sphere is missing the black stripe and has several black dots and square holes instead.

[u/UpperAcanthisitta892]

PC V6.45.1: Locating a Portal with Elixir of Quicksilver prevents the player from claiming the area by placing a base computer.

There is a work around, the player needs to use that portal to travel to another glyph address and then turn around and come right back. Once they have returned, they can now place a base computer and claim the site.

PC, latest, I'm not sure whether this is even classed as a bug or Quality Of Life issue, but it's been in for a looong time now.

So you're in a sentinel ship, under fire, "shields down" so you have to recharge them quickly.

Why the hell did you change the icon selection order, making it harder to recharge the shield without additional keypresses ?

Thank you, and congratulations on such an amazing landmark !

Just today I went to play and the game crashes as soon as open it. I run a vanilla version of the game. Tried several debugging steps, in the end I disconnected my controller (USB XBox controller), and the game launched with no issues, I could load a save, and start playing. The instant any controller was plugged in, the game crashes. Tried with the XBox controller I always use, and a PS4 controller, both over USB and Bluetooth. Any way these controllers are connected causes the game to instantly crash.

Running on PC Linux, Steam with Proton (whatever the default is), latest release. Just re-installed the game today as part of my debugging, so it'd be the latest release.

[u/Cynicallandsquid]

PlayStation 5 - My Exosuit and starship inventory have cleared themselves at different times over the past week. The first time I used the organizer feature on my exosuit inventory and when I opened my inventory back up a little bit later it was totally empty. Tonight my starship did the same thing but I did not use the organizing tool.

Switch 1: My S-class autophage staff has been corrupted. When I select it, a different multitool that looks like one I have archived takes its place.

It still happens even though I destroyed the archived multitool.

GTAO setting creates weird highlighting around object edges. See around the fin joints, suit, edges here and the pale patches on the ground in the background. Turning off GTAO removes the issue but leaves things looking a bit flat. Note, I'm on Linux so could be a driver translation issue, not sure if it happens on Windows also. Occurs with GoG and Steam versions of the game.

PC and Swtich 1: After completing The Swarm expedition and returning to my main save, certain actions cause the game to drop to around 1 FPS and sometimes hang/crash. This includes Photo Mode, the Galaxy Map from the freighter, Fleet Management, the Expedition screen, and base screenshots. Normal gameplay otherwise works correctly. The issue follows the same save across PC and Nintendo Switch, even after file verification, cache clearing, location changes, and other troubleshooting. Resetting character customization partially improved the issue, but did not fully resolve it. This is not happen in other saves I have (my save has almost 400 hours, please help <3 ).
