No Man's Sky won't launch

ryanaw72 · Jun 14, 2020

Whenever I try to launch No Man's Sky, nothing happens for a minute or two, then this pop up comes up saying NMS.exe returned because the timeout period expired.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, as well as restarting my computer. Has anyone else run into this problem? I haven't seen it anywhere online.

I figured it out, I had to uninstall then reinstall the xbox app.

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

Hello Salrion, good to know that found the source of the problem, usually the Insider program is subject to system bugs and instability in the games.

Regards,

Salrion

I write this because i solved the problem. I think problem is Xbox Insider itself.

Having the same issue.. Launching No Mans Sky through the Xbox (beta) app redirects me to 'Gaming Services' in the Microsoft Store which says that it's installed. Have tried uninstalling both with no joy. It has launched before from the Xbox app, but won't
now.

On the account where the corruption occurred, navigate to C:\Users\NAME\Saved Games\GAME where NAME is your username and
GAME will be something like No Man's Sky in this case. Rename the No Man's Sky folder to something like No Man's Sky - Bad. Launch the game and see if it acts differently.
