AMD Users!

I couldn't get the game to open all the way until someone told me how they fixed the same problem on their computer. If you have an AMD go into the Radeon Settings (right click on you desktop) and turn off the Shader Cache. This allowed myself and several others to be able to play the game when previously we hadn't been able to.

The current versionn of Radeon Settings is called ReLive, so if you didn't choose to download it when you updated your driver last, you will have to re-install your driver and after it installs the installation wizard will ask you if you want to install ReLive. Download it and fiddle with you settings, and it should fix the won't load problem!

ReLive is for streaming, not Radeon Settings
i have settings and don't have ReLive installed

They are packaged together.

The older versions of radeon settings that came with the drivers is different, but if you update your driver and it overides the old settings program it won't launch properly for many users unless you select to also install ReLive.

correct instllation of radeon drivers is uninstall all and then install new version
i know that their settings allow install new drivers through old, but it's not correct method

from their newest driver page: Ensure that any existing AMD graphics driver on the system is removed before installing a new driver package. Performing this step first prevents potential file conflicts which may corrupt the installation of new drivers

i was doing update from settings (and weas replacing old drivers with newer), but i had problems with big NMS glitches
now I'm back to uninstall old/install new method

I don't think you understand what I've said. Redownloading your current driver and selecting to include ReLive is a fix for AMD users who's Radeon Settings launcher won't open. A clean install does not fix the problem.

I have personally wiped every trace and leftover file of all AMD/ATI/Radeon products and files on two different computers, and then did a clean install on both, several times. The only time, on both computers, that Radeon Settings would sucessfully open was if ReLive was chosen in the installation wizard during the process, as you can not install ReLive seperately.

This is not a fix for every problem.

This is specifically a fix for AMD users who's No Mans Sky won't even open and are UNABLE to go into Radeon Settings to TURN OFF SHADER CACHE because their Radeon Settings also won't open. If you can open Radeon Settings, and have turned off SHADER CACHE then this fix is not for you.
