NMS crashing after update 3.4.1 Steam Deck

[jr.creations]

NMS was running fine this morning for me, I never had an issue ever while playing it on the deck. For some reason Is started crashing after update 3.4.1 . Are anyone experiencing the same on the steam deck? The game runs fine on my main PC.

There is a long thread about the Steam-Decks OS 3.4 update here,

There might be a solution there.

Same here. My deck just updated and the game keeps crashing

Glad to see I am not the only one experiencing this. Just updated to 3.4.2, my game will boot fine until my character and environment load. Once I get to this point, the game crashes and a window pops up stating "The game has encountered an error and will now shutdown". Looking forward to a fix.

The funny thing I make a ticket in the NMS steam support person tells me is my deck is up to date. I'm sure they look like robots over there. This is why I decide to ask the community.

Same here lucas-cake what you are experiencing is exactly the same, keep me posted is you find a solution. And I will be doing the same.

They just pushed a patch to help with game crashes, unfortunately this did not seem to help, I submitted a ticket to hello games but I will be contacting Steam support regarding the matter.

Same here, NMS worked fine on steam deck last night, now on 3.4.1 crashes after the blank space travel loading sequence. I hope this will be fixed soon. What a bad timing for such an issue. Right before xmas holidays.

Same here I have tried everything I could think of to make it work. The funny thing I make a ticket on steam NMS support and they ask me if the deck was up to date, I found that response so robotic that make me smile (and cry a little).

I encourage you to also make a ticket and post your issue in other threads. To raise awareness of the situation.

it is holiday time..so prob will have to wait until next year, i am afraid.

Just found a fix for me, hopefully it works for you. I had you uninstall and reinstall the game. I guess since it is installed now under the new OS version it fixed itself and saved 60+ hours of gameplay for my current play through. Hope this helps

No, I try twice, is not working for me, I can create a new character but I cant play my save. Is fine on my widows pc. Is not only NMS that is having problems, there is people all over posting crashes for a lot a games after the update. But congrats, Im happy for you

Well my success was short lived, I just took a break from playing and tried to boot it up and now I am experiencing the same thing once more. I am also on stable for updates.

It lets me create a new character and play fine, but I can't play my old save. And is not the game, the game plays fine on my main pc.

I wish I had the liberty to test it on my main PC, unfortunately I will be away from it for about another month or so. The Steam Deck is all I have right now.

Im sorry, Hey just create a character on creative you should be able to have all you quicksilver stuff in the store. and play with that until you get back.

A guy on Reddit told me that he delete the game, and reinstalled and it work for him, another tell me that he create a new character went into setting low all video and graphics to a minimum including fov motion blur, and that allowed him to go to his main save. None of these work for me. But maybe you can give it a chance. Good luck

Yeah I’ll have to try that after work. Thanks and good luck to you as well.

Lucas I found a fix, I fix it by removing my cape on my main pc.

Hmm I’ll have to try it, unfortunately I might have to uninstall and reinstall the game in order to remove the cape.

[lucas-cake]

Had to revert to 3.3.3 in order to play the game and take my cape off. Once this was done I updated back to 3.4.2 and has worked fine since. Thanks for the help!

Adding Steamdeck compatibility was a huge mistake. It ruined the game for many players. Not just with the tech slots either. So it's about time Steamdeck user's experience some problems for once. I have nothing personal against the OP. But if we have to suffer. They should too.

Been a couple months but is this fixed yet because I just downloaded it and It black screens and crashes on boot
