No man's sky - Xbox beta app - Gamepass - Hello Games data sync launch crash

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.

Unfortunately not, did all the steps restarted and atttempted to launch the game to the same 3 errors in event viewer and game still stuck at syncing data and the xbox app as crashed.

Hello,

So, in terms of saves, I found another thread that seemed to have a similar issue: Xbox Game Pass on PC : Force Cloud Save Sync - Microsoft Community. For this it recommends deleting local save files. You can probably move them instead of deleting them so if the game doesn't register the local files and it still doesn't sync, you don't lose your save entirely.

Just in case, I play No Man's Sky on my Console but I'm downloading it on my PC with Xbox Game Pass to see if I can check out any discrepancies and seeing about reproducing your issue. I know that on Xbox when you first launch the game, it will sync your data for No Man's Sky before launching. So I've logged onto my Xbox, played around a little and used a save point to save before exiting. NMS is currently downloading on my PC so when it finishes I will double check and see if it and how it syncs the saves.

When you launch the game does it detail anything that says it's syncing or anything like that?

Just additional resources just in case:

• Syncing Xbox game saves to the cloud error messages | Xbox Support
  

Thank you,

I resolved this. I was able to delete the local files and restore from the cloud. Phew! I actually have 900 hours in this game on my Xbox and I still have not yet reached the center of the galaxy. To busy exploring and finding new things to explore and do. Here are some solutions that I found:

A. Try deleting the local save data for No Man's Sky and then syncing it with the cloud. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Press the Xbox button to open the guide.

2. Select My games & apps > See all > Games.

3. Highlight No Man's Sky and press the Menu button on your controller.

4. Select Manage game and add-ons > Saved data.

5. Select Delete all to remove the local save data for No Man's Sky.

6. Once the local save data has been deleted, restart your Xbox console.

7. When your Xbox console has restarted, open No Man's Sky and allow it to sync with the cloud.

8. Once the sync has completed, try loading your game save.

Or…

B. Try joining someone else's game. If you are able to join someone else's game, your save file may be able to load correctly. Once you have joined someone else's game, try saving your game and then quitting the game. After you have quit the game, try loading your save file again.

Or…

C. Use a save editor. There are a number of save editors available for No Man's Sky. These editors may be able to fix your corrupted save file. To use a save editor, you will need to copy your save file to your computer. Once you have copied your save file, you can open it with the save editor and try to fix the corruption.

You can get a save editor for No Man's Sky on the Xbox from the GitHub repository of goatfungus. The repository is here: https://github.com/goatfungus/NMSSaveEditor

Or…

D. Contact Hello Games support. If you have tried all of the above solutions and you are still unable to load your game save, you can contact Hello Games support for help. You can contact Hello Games support through their website: https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us.

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.

It seems No Man's Sky doesn't create a save there. I did find local save data elsewhere and deleted it, but the corrupted profile still doesn't work.
