Friends bases all the name of one friend?

[Flam3]

So I have 3 other friends that I am playing with and we all have a base set up.

After a couple of hours, for what seems to be only happening to me, all of the 3 of their bases now have the name of only one of my 3 friends. I.e, one friend is called Bob, when I look at the other 3 base markers of my friends, they all say "Bob's Base" and not of the other two which it should be. But when the others look at the base markers, they are listed correctly to their owner.

I have tried restarting the game but it doesn't help anything. I have asked the friend that I can see "owns" the other bases (I.e, Bob) to interact with their base computer but it of course says he is a guest because it isn't actually his base computer. It is an incredibly inconvenient, what I'm assuming is a visual bug, but I am not able to know whose base is whose.

Has anyone else had this and is there a quick fix?

EDIT: I should also mention that they have uploaded their bases as well if that makes a difference.

The most obivous walkaround would be if the last 2 of your friends changed their names IRL. Also you would have 3 friends named Bob how cool would that be?

Well if I want to go to a specific persons base, I would have to visit all 3 until I get the right one... ergo, it's a pain in the arse. =)

Guess there's no quick fix =(

Are you host?

Well, the actual obvious thing would be... Have they gone to the Base Computers and renamed the bases and then reuploaded?

Are they all on the same planet?
(If they have a Base Computer but no real base started aka just a little square house, just have them Delete it through the Base Computer and remake them on different planets)

Yeah, the have renamed their bases via the Base Computer and have uploaded it. Their base names even show up when you use the Space Teleporter. They unfortunately have worked a good bit on their bases now.

So the TP shows correct names but driving to the planet from space, the markers shown all share the same name?

again are they all on the same planet?

Yeah, they are also all on the same planet. Even on foot and looking at their base icon, still all shows the one friends name. Not even what he names his base, but just his name.

Well, it could be a couple things (these are my personal ideas so it could be wrong but most likely it's not)
1. same planet bases = no good
2. multiplayers cross save is kinda wonky (if i am on my save and cook stuff in refiner, save and join friend with my save, it has most of my stuff BUT what i cooked in my refiners will not appear in the server if I join him & vice versa)
3.Try to all go to your own saves, rename and upload bases, then rejoin (maybe that'll help but I am not too sure)

They are able to see base names fine. Generally we join whoever is playing it first, but we all started in the same universe by joining one person when we first started playing the game.

We have had an issue building base computers in close proximity, but we thought spreading them out, the closest to my base is around 2,500u. Seems that you may be right that there are still issues building on even the same planet.

Will definitely try out your last suggestion there, cheers!

Np, my buddy and I had our bases about a solid 20 feet apart on launch day, so I'm not too sure what happened to have yours so far apart?

If you go to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\No Man's Sky\Binaries\SETTINGS\GCUSERSETTINGSDATA.MXML"
There's a <Property name="BaseBuildingLimit" value="2000" />



****Could try tweaking that BUT do at your own risk as I have no clue what impact it will have on your game, saves, overall experience****



perhaps try some googling, sometimes there's some hidden answers on there that are not on here

overall though, the multiplayer is wonky so it's most likely cos of that

Hopefully the multiplayer issues will get ironed out as time goes on then, heh.

Thanks again.
