NiftyPower Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Considering how mods can be broken by updates, I'm wondering if there is a way to start No Man's Sky in offline mode without updating until mods can be updated accordingly, like Skyrim can be?

Spiritz666 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Err ... Only way i can think of is by switching off the network ( meaning internet connection ) and running the game - i am assuming steam version .TBH waiting for mod updates isnt too bad - being both a player and author myself i can understand the frustration at both ends but i will say as an author and speaking for other authors it can be a bit more frustrating out end when updating ( i mean authors who still update and not those who have "retired" ) .Often the update depends on a few factors -Re doing the edits on an updated MBIN Waiting for MBINCompiler to be updated - sadly when devs change mbins they sometimes change things the program doesnt understand so it has to be updated itself to work and this is out of us authors control so we ourslves have to wait Sometimes finding out ourselves somethings changed somewhere in the code and then having to suss it out . So to all the mod users on behalf of us authors i ask please be patient with mod updates and if possible always leave a comment on the mods page saying the mods broke after an update so we can see and get to work on an update .

JimmyRJump Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 I got the game from GOG. Option to not update is on the GOG Galaxy install page under 'More/Settings'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiritz666 Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Just checked steam settings and sadly we dont have the option not to update.Only suggestion i can make is when an update breaks a mod - leave a comment on the mods page stating its broke and request an update . Usually the mods author will try and update asap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northener69 Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 I got the game from GOG. Option to not update is on the GOG Galaxy install page under 'More/Settings'. Yeah i have Steam experimental but also GOG version but without Galaxy, i'd remove Steam if i could play my games without it. No DRM in GOG plus you can play like i do Visions 1.77 pre Vulcan and Synthesis in separate folders, although i have to remember to swap save folder when switching. :happy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicktalope Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Did you try running NMS.exe directly from the game folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
