NMS crashing when startup
I play it for years and suddenly it won't start anymore.
Have to add, i had the pc running for days now and played other games also and installed a mod manager software for another game.
I played it 2 days ago and it was working fine.

I checked the integrity of game files and it showed no problems.

The error message i got was this one:

Has someone similar problems ? Help very welcome here

Should i try a reinstall ? My game saves are in the cloud so nothing happens to them for sure. They are 7 years old, would like to keep them.

Uninstalled the game now, and reinstalled it, still the same problem.
(copied my saves before uninstalling)

Here a link to the ingredients of my PC, windows 10, maybe it helps:

Did you remove the mod manager?

I'm getting a white screen on load up. Can't enter the game at all. No error code, just hangs, and steam thinks I'm playing.

Was there a patch or something today ?

I downloaded an update just before I tried to play. No luck with checking file integrity.

If you have a Nexus Vortex Mod manager running your mods, try uninstalling it.

The patch landed yesterday

If you mean that the file integrity caught noting, and there was nothing to fix, you might need to find and delete the TKGRAPHICSSETTINGS.MXML file located in Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\No Man's Sky\Binaries\SETTINGS

or disable Steams Back Ground Recording. Under Steam > Settings > Game Recording. << check this first as it is not reliant of the Game being launched first.

That code points at an outdated MOD

But i installed it new, shouldn't the mod be removed then ?

Maybe uninstall and check if the No Man’s Sky directory is completely gone or if some mod file got leftover and is getting picked up. And you could look that specific mod up and see what files it installs and try to verify they are gone.

post 1 you link a pic to the error message, after reinstall you state same problem.

I asked if you removed the mod manager? You have not clarified this yet. Mod manager have a tendency to load mods that are outdate and and hook the NMS.EXE. Without proper knowledge of how dated or up to date a mod is, or how you've set the update this/that/game, we've only the generic NMS error code to go by..

And that tends to be the offending culprit. A outdated MOD> Remove, uninstall the mod manager. Let us know. Thanks

If i have a mod manager, it is long ago and i dont know where i could find it. So what is the path of a mod manager, or what is his name ?
I dont think i used mods, all i did was expanding inventory with a NMS save editor years ago.

I actually deinstalled NMS again, and checked in Steam/steamapps/common/No Mans Sky if there something mod like is left, but there is only Binary/Settings and in there are the 3 TK-files for settings, and the oder folder is GAME DATA, in which is only FullLog.txt file.
Not a bit of a mod i guess.

Why did you mention having a mod manager installed? You don't know the name of the application managing the mod for the other game? Do you know the game you were modding?
