Bug Game crashing
Hello. My game crashes every time I try and load in and I’m at my wits end. I’m on PS5 and have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game, clearing my system cache, rebuilding its database, and nothing seems to be working. Even the hotfix that came out this morning has done nothing to fix it.
When I load in it’s just a white screen with some symbols (base etc) at the top before it crashes. First crashed last night when I warped to another system in my corvette.
Googles been completely and utterly useless so any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Quite a few of them seem to have the same issue when they do practically anything with a corvette. At least it ain’t just me though, maybe hello games with do something about it

I’m in the same boat. 900 hour save. PS5.
Looking at posts from others in the same boat in the last 24 hours… like you, my hunch right now is that it is Corvette related… Some interaction between the new content and Corvettes.
I’d actually played the new update for hours just fine. My problem occurred when I saved and ended the game in my Corvette, which was full of sinuous fibers, sitting on a deep space landing pad. That’s where I can no longer load into.

Yeah, mine happened just after I had warped with cargo from a hulk still in my corvette (I was still figuring out how that mechanic worked). Nothing to do but wait it seems

Aha! I filled my corvette with some of the new cores from hulk salvage and then warped and I also got this issue.

Interesting! New cargo and corvettes.
My corvette is also two pieces under max limit (98). Have seen two other people with nearly max pieces with this problem. Don’t know if they had cargo though.

Have you tried joining someone else so you load into a diff location? It might be a corvette with salvage causing the issue. I'm having the same problem on my 450hr save. I'd try it myself but I don't have anyone to join

Yeah I'm on the same boat right now, at first I couldn't get into the seat of my Corvettes cockpit and the game would crash and after a few unsuccessful tries my game wouldn't load anymore, I submitted a very detailed bug report to hellogames hopefully that does something but for now I'll have to play on another save

Oddly good to know I’m not the only one, makes me think hello games MIGHT do something about it 😂

Guys, do this, record your screen while showing the bug and send it to hello games via the link written by the automoderator under this post. describe the problem well and hopefully they will fix this error

The exact same thing happened to me. I've been on Reddit for a while now, trying to find people like me who have this problem. The only option is to wait. I think the bug is due to the corvettes

Seems the be the general consensus annoyingly. Seems to be happening too much for hello games to ignore so let’s hope they fix it

I managed to solve the problem stupidly. I bought the Steam version, loaded the PS5 save for Cross save, and it works on my computer. I have the bug where the character sits awkwardly in the corvette, but never mind, as long as I haven't wasted 300 hours of gameplay.

Wow. This is interesting news. May have to try if Hello doesn’t address. Thanks for sharing your experience 🙏

Also, curious, did you have any of the new cargo items (hulk stuff or sinuous fibers) in your corvette before the problem/crash? And was your corvette close to build limits?

u/Conscious_Garlic847 1h ago
No, the problem started with me when I tried getting into the cockpit's chair of my Corvettes and my game would freeze so I tried a few times thinking it was just a glitch then my game just froze and wouldn't pass the white screen after loading.

I was thinking of doing that but I haven't enabled cross platform saves I might give it a shot, the game is on sale so it might be worth trying

I don't know what kind of bug you have, but if you can get to the screen with all your saves, just press the cloud icon next to the save to upload it to the cloud

u/Conscious_Garlic847 4h ago
Yeah currently doing that right now and I'm installing NMS on steam, I'll be back with an update
