How I'm playing with an AMD Phenom X4 965 - AMD startup crash fix

[BaloniMan]

You can play the game right now with an AMD phenom depending on how good your machine is! I'm using a method I found on reddit to confirm the sse 4.1 issue. I didn't try it at first because I assumed the performance would be dismal however I gave it a shot out of curiosity and the game isn't running half bad.

So first thing you want to do is download this file:

sde-external-7.49.0-2016-07-07-win.tar.bz2 (13.91 MB)

From this link: https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/pre-release-license-agreement-for-intel-software-development-emulator-accept-end-user-license-agreement-and-download

Updated - Mirror ---- {ENLACE ELIMINADO}http://rgho.st/699l8JWfS

Click: DOWNLOAD Intel® SDE for WINDOWS

- Accept the agreement

- Download sde-external-7.49.0-2016-07-07-win.tar.bz2 (13.91 MB)

___________________________________________________________

*** Use the regular version not the experimental version ***

Next you want to locate the file you just downloaded and cut or copy it into the games
Binaries folder. It will be found under your:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\NoMansSky\Binaries

extract the contents of the file you downloaded into the Binaries folder. You may get a folder called: sde-external-7.49.0-2016-07-07-win ---- Just open that folder and take all the files from that folder and move them into the games Binaries folder. All the files from that zip should be located in the same folder as NMS.exe

Almost done!

So the next thing you want to do is find the file sde.exe again it should be in the Binaries folder --- When you locate it right click on the file and choose create shortcut.

Find the newly created shortcut and right click and choose properties.

Go to the field that is called Target. You should see at the end of the string this:

No Man's Sky\Binaries\sde.exe"

Change it to say this:

No Man's Sky\Binaries\sde.exe" -- NMS.exe

Apply and Okay the changes !

Note: If you try to emulate on WIN 10 you need to put the NMS.exe on compatible mode with WIN 7. Just right click on the nms.exe, properties > enable the compatibility mode and put win 7 ( thanks to Ragnaroz )


Next Step:

Create a text file in the Binaries folder and open it up. Add this to the text file: 275850 Then save it. Now rename the text file to : steam_appid.txt

Next close and reopen your steam client as an administrator and set it to run in offline mode.

And your ready to go. To launch the game go back into the Binaries folder where your Sde files are. You want to launch the shortcut you made should be called something to the effect "sde - Shortcut" ( right click and run as administrator )

Enjoy the game until they can patch!

This should work I haven't tested with the steam client as I bought mine on GoG but its working just fine for me. The performance will be reduced a bit and the initial load time into the game can take a few minutes but I've been playing all day like this just fine for the most part. Even got the flight stick to work! ( xbox360CE )

Hope this helps some of you get into the game!

UPDATED: If you had an issue with the shortcut going a folder i made a typo XD sorry the target should be No Man's Sky\Binaries\sde.exe" -- NMS.exe

BaloniMan - When I change the properties "target" of the shortcut, it only leads me to the folder Binaries, as you wrote to change to
No Man's Sky\Binaries\" -- NMS.exe
What am I doing wrong?

[Mr. Pain™]

Yep. Just turned into a folder.

[BaloniMan]

my fault sorry guys typed it fast

use this : No Man's Sky\Binaries\sde.exe" -- NMS.exe

I did everything but I get this:
"Either Steam isn't running or you don't have a suitable license."
What did I do wrong?
