No players in the Nexus? Anyone got a fix?

[Mr Neutral]

Has anyone got a fix? I'm connected to online discoveries etc, but the Nexus is completely empty.

Check your settings, in the "Network" section. Do you have multiplayer disabled?

enabled

Then all I've got left in my troubleshooting "bag of tricks" is this:

someone in other thread mentioned deleting config files

Steam\steamapps\common\No Man's Sky\Binaries\SETTINGS

but this was about not able to connect hosted game

Quit NMS
Open TKGAMESETTINGS.MXML (any editor works) in :
\steamapps\common\No Man's Sky\Binaries\SETTINGS

Check if it is flooded with this entries :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Data template="TkGameSettings">
<Property name="LanguageSetting" value="default" />
<Property name="KeyMapping">
<Property name="KeyMapping" value="GcInputActionMapping.xml" />
<Property name="KeyMapping" value="GcInputActionMapping.xml" />
<Property name="KeyMapping" value="GcInputActionMapping.xml" />
<Property name="KeyMapping" value="GcInputActionMapping.xml" />

That may repeat up to 255 times .. if only this lines in your file, than delete the file
and run NMS again.
In that case you need to check your Key bindings in Game..

If after x lines the normal KeyMapping show up like :
<Property name="LanguageSetting" value="default" />
<Property name="KeyMapping" />
<Property name="KeyMapping2">
<Property name="KeyMapping2" value="GcInputActionMapping2.xml">
<Property name="ActionSet" value="OnFootControls" />
<Property name="Action" value="Player_Run" />
<Property name="Button" value="KeyQ" />
<Property name="Axis" value="None" />
</Property>
and so on for all other KeyMappings, delete only the repeated lines (see above) and save the file.

Run NMS again

Granted, but it's describing the same kind of issue... and there are still bugs in the game that are 5+ years old that have never been fixed (such as refiner and Oxygen Harvester issues where the machine eats its contents instead of giving them to the player).

I consider it reasonable to assume that a suggested fix for what seems to be the same (or a remarkably similar) issue would be worth a try, even if the suggestion is several years old; there's no guarantee that the underlying faulty code has felt the gentle touch of a programmer in the meanwhile.

sorry, the reason i mentioned it being old is cos, our understanding of the game has moved on since 2019, if you search the forum for recent posts on this issue you see that wot i like to call the 'Musashi Protocol' has resolved this issue for many players
...oh and if the issue is the settings file being flooded, that old thread you linked won't help anyways

I wasn't trying to be a hero, or even trying to be right... I was just offering my own troubleshooting ideas in an attempt to help Mr Neutral fix their issue. The flooded settings file is another possible problem, one which I didn't know about and thus didn't recommend a fix for. Thanks, by the way, for adding the suggestion; if nothing else, it's one more thing to check and possibly correct on the journey towards regaining the expected and typical functionality.

This is why multiple people can type their responses to a post. It's called a "forum", and it encourages collaborative problem-solving (well, most of the time; there also these things called "trolls", but we try not to feed them because it just makes them more aggressive).

Having said that, and having exhausted my (admittedly short) list of things that I think might help in this scenario, I will be on my way.

Good luck, and have fun!

i admit, i can sometimes probably feed those trolls, because i believe everyone got something to say. this is also outof OP subject
