AMD Phenom(tm) II X6 1090T Processor RUNS the game @ 24 FPS!

[duddadu]

Not a hoax and not click bait. ACTUALLY WORKS!

I'm emulating the SSE4 instruction set that the Phenom II CPU is lacking.

Because I'm really nice, here are instructions:

1. Download the file called "sde-external-7.49.0-2016-07-07-win.rar" from here: https://app.box.com/s/17pybkbuc8qmtn9p6urgwe0u3w82sfa0
2. Extract the file to : [where ever your steam folder is]\Steam\steamapps\common\No Man's Sky\Binaries
3. Create a shortcut to the program "sde.exe"
4. Right click the shortcut and add this to the target: -- NMS.exe
5. Example: "F:\Steam\steamapps\common\No Man's Sky\Binaries\sde.exe" -- NMS.exe
6. Save and close the shortcut.
7. Open the shortcut. Now you need patience. The emulator may take a couple minutes to run. If nothing happens after about 5 minutes, run it again. Eventually, you will get the Hello Games logo. When that happens, sit tight. the opening star field will be choppy as heck and it will take anywhere from 5 to 15 or so minutes. Eventually it will be done and you get a WHITE screen with the word initialize.
8. A the screen that says initialize, press and hold E
9. Now the game begins.
10. See you out there!

I have the same processor but doesn't work for me :(

WARNING - Do NOT expect the frame rate to be smooth. There IS lag, but the game IS playable.

Also, make sure you gfx card is fully updated.

Did you try my instructions?

[Sangria Technotruck]

For anyone doing this, just keep in mind you may not be able to get a refund (or may have more trouble getting a refund) if you exceed 2 hours of gameplay.

If you find it too choppy to be a long-term fix, it may be better off waiting to see if the devs come up with a permanant fix.

I tryed lots of thing nothing happen. I'm gonna wait for best game

Are you saying that you followed my instructions 3 times and it didn't work?
If so, what DID happen. I can't help if you don't give info.

I'm surprised that it worked for you, because I can't run game just launching NMS.exe, because it says that there are no license or steam isn't running.

Well, steam MUST be running for my hack to work. It does NOT circumvent any steam protections. It runs an emulator for the SSE4 instruction set.

That's not an issue with steam running. For many people the game wil not launch directly from the executable file. It works fine when launched out of steam however. This is a secondary issue in addition to the SSE problem.

I haven't yet found a solution to this either. Been trying to get the sde to run as a third party app from in steam as well and steam doesn't seem to like that.

So in order to use this tip you have to be one of luckies who can run the game directly from exe-file? What does ability depends from? Is it random or can be reached by some particular way of installation?

Try creating a 'steam_appid.txt' file in the Binaries folder with 275850 inside - as a fix for running NMS.exe outside of steam.

It seems to fix indeed running NMS.exe. Thank you. I will report later if it helped me to run the game via sde.

I tried to also follow your instructions . When i followed them a dialog box opened up and closed very quickly but nothing ultimately happened. Thank you for the help though.
