No Man’s Sky\u00a0launched on PC\u00a0just four\u00a0hours ago (19:00 SA time on 12 August), and\u00a0for some players the experience has been less than\u00a0pleasant.<\/p>\n
The game has quickly racked up almost 7,000 reviews on Steam<\/a><\/strong>, of which only 37% are positive. Reviews on GOG <\/a><\/strong>were\u00a0not quite as\u00a0negative, with the game achieving an average rating of 2.5 stars out of 5 after 117 votes.<\/p>\n As PC Gamer noted<\/a>,<\/strong>\u00a0most of the complaints seem to be related to performance issues and game crashes, and time will tell whether the ratings pick up as folks\u00a0tend to pile-on\u00a0when a game is having problems\u00a0like this.<\/p>\n Players are reporting that even with hardware that far exceeds the minimum requirements, such as a GeForce GTX 980, or twin GeForce Titan X cards, they are seeing\u00a0low framerates.<\/p>\n To the credit of Hello Games, co-founder and programmer Sean Murray has taken to Twitter to address some of the\u00a0problems people are seeing.<\/p>\n A 18.3MB\u00a0patch was also pushed out on Steam, though it isn’t clear what it fixes just yet.<\/p>\n A frankly insane amount of people have just tried to run No Man's Sky for the first time within 15 minutes of it releasing.<\/p>\n — Sean Murray (@NoMansSky) August 12, 2016<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
