Game crashing regularly
I recently started playing NMS again after about a year away, i did a complete system restore and decided to reinstall the game and have had nothing but problems. I have deleted the Shader library twice (once after a video driver update) I have verified the files and am preparing to uninstall and reinstall one last time just to give the game a fair shake.

The game crashes very frequently with no error message just game freeze and option to wait for program to respond or end program. I can't bug report it as the crash occurs at random with no crash log. Any ideas? Is it worth trying anything else or is NMS still a broken nightmare? I have really enjoyed the game when I can play for more than an hour without a crash but its getting old.

Uninstall the game, or delete a few files here and there and verify files so it can download the missing files. try and see if that might fix it, run in admin.

Otherwise, uninstall(Delete all other NMS files that doesnt get deleted after uninstalling, KEEP your saved games in a different location) the game, uninstall your graphics driver with DDU(follow recommended steps) and download and install latest drivers. after that restart and reinstall the game and make sure you have enough space.
