No Man's Sky Xbox Game Pass PC Not Launching

WillSealy · Jul 17, 2020

Having an issue where No Man's Sky will launch, get to the Hello Games loading screen, crash, and then reroute me to the Microsoft Store where it will say I need to reinstall because there was an error. I attempt the reinstall (which shows as 9.2GB, the
size of the last update if I'm remembering correctly) and it will "finish" in a matter of seconds, allowing me to relaunch the game. That gets me back to the loading screen and then the issue starts again. Is anyone experiencing this since the last update?

Just a quick update, I attempted a full uninstall/reinstall from the Xbox app and I'm still getting this error.

Yes. Some, though limited, through PC Game Pass there are some select titles available with VR support such as No Man's Sky, and Tetris Effect.

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.

How are you, mate?

Unfortunately I didn't find much related to this error. Is there any message besides the error code? And did you try to move the game to another drive or reinstall it?

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.
