Try to restart your rooter.

If you use AMD-graphics, this helped me:

This is typically indicative of a data error on your commander. However, following our recent investigation, this error appears to be related to a bug within the latest AMD adrenalin 22.7.x and 22.6.x drivers and our QA team is currently looking into everything we can do from our side.

In the meantime, we'd strongly recommend that you uninstall the current AMD drivers and reinstall version 22.5.1 drivers that can be found here as this is a last known stable release.

I have the same problem exactly. If you come to a solution, please post it. Game won't start no matter what I do. I have RX 6900XT 22.7.1

The solution is to downgrade your Adrenalin to 22.5.1. Anything higher than that version will give you problems when approaching a planet.

Just wanted to clarify that there's no need at this stage to roll back to this older driver version. The most recent version (Adrenalin 23.5.2) shouldn't suffer from this issue!

It doesn't freeze - it only looks like it's frozen. It checks all your already installed files to see what is different, to download only those differences. If you don't have the game installed on a fast NVMe drive, it may take a while, even hours. During this time the game launcher looks like it's unresponsive. You can see that your hard drive indicator light is almost constantly lit.

Just let it finish, and after the preparation it will switch to downloading.
