Among the key fixes in Patch 5.05 are improvements to the Liquidator Minotaur, a popular addition from the recent Liquidators expedition in No Man’s Sky. Players had reported issues with installing the Liquidator Minotaur limbs on existing saves, a problem that has now been resolved. Additionally, the patch introduces a custom color option for Liquidator Minotaurs, allowing players to further personalize these exosuits.
Freighter warping, a key feature for exploring space in No Man's Sky, has been improved to make it smoother and more reliable. The patch also fixes a bug that prevented players from receiving Longshore S-Wing and Longshore C-Wing parts when dismantling Haulers, ensuring ship upgrades can be managed correctly. The update also brings improvements such as better collision detection on floating islands, smoother camera controls when the game is paused, and clearer messages when ending an expedition. It also fixes issues with docking at spherical space stations and resolves a bug where swimming sounds would continue playing even after leaving the water.
Mac users can now experience the new volumetric clouds and high-definition water, matching the visual quality of other platforms. Along with these visual upgrades, Hello Games has made several performance optimizations, such as reducing VRAM usage for VR players and improving rendering performance. These tweaks, including better cloud rendering and reflections, help No Man's Sky run more smoothly on various hardware setups. Patch 5.05 also fixes several crashes, including those related to navigation, the interface, and other areas.
Since its 2016 release, No Man's Sky has transformed from a disappointment into a popular game with a vast universe and endless opportunities for exploration. Thanks to regular updates like Worlds Part 1 and the continued efforts of Hello Games, it remains a favorite among players who enjoy space exploration.
