Living ship bug?

[kmarshall550]

So i used the portal coordinates to go to the system where you finally get the living ship. I got the ship and go back to the portal. I jump into the portal and after a much longer time than usual I end up right back on the same planet. The pedestal to enter coordinates doesnt pop up so I cant enter in my home coordinates.

I tried warping out but it says there is portal interferance. I seem to be stuck.

I tried reloading the save at the point just prior to claiming the living ship, but its the same thing.

Has this happened to anyone else? Did you find a way back? Any suggestions would be welcome.

That sequence of events doesn’t sound right.

Last egg text gives you portal address. You open portal to go and collect souls, return through portal. Get message that ship has been found, fly to it & wake/revive it.

So if you flew (no portal) to collect souls & the mission now states return through portal, you have a bugged mission, sorry. Not sure what other than mess with a save editor

This sounds like what some others have reported as not exiting the portal correctly. You get passed right back through to the origin rather than exiting at the destination.
They said the solution was to run and jump through the portal, keeping your forward key pressed so you exit cleanly on the other side. Or something of that nature.

Run towards portal, when a couple steps away do melee/jump boost through portal opening.
How to do the boost is while running press +melee punch +jumpjets at same time.
Keep holding keys down until you start seeing your character hovering on other planet. Don't worry your character won't run out of jumpjet power and once on other planet it'll keep hovering indefinitely. Also it won't move until you press keys to start moving/flying again.

Try delete ur shader catch. or try to load an earlier Manual Save if you can. Goodluck.

I tried jumping thru the portal. Didnt work.

If I remember the sequence of events correctly. I input the coordinates into the prortal. I found the 3 graves. Then it pointed me to a planet in the system. I went there and got the living ship. Then I went back to the portal and tried going thru.

So if your right I should have gone thru the portal then got the message about the ship. Very odd.

Dont know what to do now. My manual save is just before claiming the ship. So i'm stuck in this system until theres a bug fix or I figure out how to use a save editor.

[kmarshall550]

I just tried using the editor. That didnt work either. Looks like thats the end of No Man's Sky.

Worst bug i've ever encountered in the game.

Edit:
Found a youtube video showing how to change your position. I made it back to my base. Thank god thats over. Very scary.

Thanks for your help guys

Its stilled bugged.

Did a quick silver quest that warped me to another system. Got there and finished the quest and couldnt summon the anomaly due to portal interferance. Couldnt warp out or use the space station teleporter.

And this time the when i tried the portal the animation just kept going. Didnt get ported anywhere.

Has anyone else gotten this bug?

Yeah a whole lot have for a week now and lots on the forums about it.
A "groundhog day"-like portal interference bug glitch is not specific to living ship missions.
List of things to try, each has some slight chance of working.

Still in game & don't want to loose Nexus mission reward, then try:
1. Disable multiplayer, if solo then enable multiplayer, and try jumping through portal
2. The running Melee/Jump aliases "shoulder boost" through portal until on other side.
3. Have someone join your game (Not you joining theirs, still unconfirmed)
4. Enter your inventory as you enter portal and don't exit until on other side (unconfirmed).

Don't care if you reload last save, then try:
5. Reload save
6. Completely exit NMS, then restart and reload save
7. Completely exit NMS, have steam verify files, then restart and reload save
8. Reload last Manual save
9. Exit NMS, find your last manual-backup and copy/paste over current save file(s)

Don't want to loose any time, or forgot to make manual-backup, then try:
10. Make a manual backup then edit raw .json change "othersideofportal" from true, to false.

SECOND bug this week is where the portal sound never ends, its fixed by trick #6.

THIRD bug this week is portal clipping.
If you've used portal but are clipped inside the portal structure and can't leave structure.
11. Try continually fast toggling between 1st and 3rd person
And if you can't get it to work then try steps 5 to 10.

Personally Id just skip to 10 and save the hassle

Tried editing the json file. Changed "othersideofprotal" to false. That didnt work. I changed my coordinates to my freighter coordinates. My freighter is in my home system. I thought that worked but the portals are still bugged. Meaning if i leave my home system by any means I cant get back. I tried jumping thru the portal. Reloading my save. Restarting. Did just about everything I could think of.

So I think I'm screwed until they patch it.

I wonder if the portal address is different for everyone or if its the same address for everyone? I know, slightly OT. Edit: never mind, its the same; only interpretations differ. Carry on.

So instead of "Each has some slight chance of working"
I should have wrote "Each has a good chance of completely failing"

Be sure to submit a support ticket, and especially since all known workarounds failed to work.
