r/NMS_Switch

It actually seems even worse now. It just freezes without a dialog box and I have to exit manually. Bummed. What is your experience?

I've lost out on TWO S class dreadnoughts because my game CRASHES as soon as I try to swap the freighter wether I copy the base or not.. does anyone know how to keep this b.s. from happening so I'm wasting another four goddam hours?????

I've been able to use the Anomaly once out of like 5 attempts

I have been thinking about buying NMS for a very long time (I am also a hardcore NS player, do not really play with any other console much). Can someone explain to me how does each mode of the multiplayer work in this game (also maybe differences with other platforms, just for reference)?

Really importante context: I was looking for some games to play with my bf. We have been really invested in It Takes Two, Cult of the Lamb, Stardew Valley, etc, so I thought of convincing him to get NMS for the both of us. Would you recommend us NMS / think NMS would be a good option for us?

For the past few weeks, whenever I use the camera from the 'quick menu,' the game freezes. I have to force close the software and restart the game. At first, I figured it was because I was trying to take a 'family photo' with all of my starships on a relatively vibrant planet. But now, it's started happening any time I use the camera. I'm trying to complete a 'take a photo of a Minor Settlement' mission, and it's freezing. I open the camera, zoom to fit (even tried without adjusting the zoom/angle), try to capture the image, and it's frozen.

I've tried clearing the Switch's cache and even did a power reset, but it's still freezing. I aldo have plenty of room on my SD card, too. It's not even half full.

Any other possible remedies?

Apparently, there's a major bug preventing you from playing NMS offline via annoying every 5-second pop-ups, which is caused by having a Nintendo account linked.

Here's how to fix it without having to wait for the bugfix 6.36 patch:

Step 1: Create a new profile on Switch 1/2 >Just create a throwaway profile, but PLEASE do NOT link your profile with a Nintendo account (it will automatically become online and connect to Nintendo servers if you do link)

Step 2: Launch NMS > Select the throwaway profile (not the main profile) and then launch NMS.

Step 3: Play > Create a new save and select which mode you want. Boom it's done!

Keep playing offline via my solution until bugfix 6.36 patch (which fixed offline playing in 6.36) is out on Switch 1/2. My solution is not needed anymore after patch is out

In the last few days I have found myself unable to take any screenshot with the in game screenshot system.

The basic Switch screenshot is working however. But I cannot get any screenshot without the UI visible.

I need some help for NMS on my Switch 2. I tried recently to land on a planet and the game crashed, up until now the game crashed sporadically but now it crashes a minute in every time. I disabled multiplayer, redownloaded the game and even moved the software from the from the microDS express card to the system. Still keeps on crashing. I’m like 750hrs of play in and worried that I might lose my game. Any thoughts or suggestions, tips, would be greatly appreciated. -Mark

Bottom view, detailing the typical results of the weapon firing

The highlighted wing here is half-step shifted

Cutaway view detailing the weapon system and reactor/ engine placement. Note: reactor/engine are half-stepped down. Temporary half-stepping the habs enables the unusual middle-wing and weapon placements.

Side-cutaway-view better detailing engine/reactor height

Dome placement, note that it is half-stepped down to achieve this placement

View of the visible parts of the phase-beam placements. The osprey wings require temporary scaffold with a side-offset

Detail to show that the forward wing is also vertically mirrored even though mostly covered by the osprey wings

A \"How-to\" image for anyone unfamiliar with half-step offsetting. Light scaffold and Small vents on the edges allow right/left, and vertical offsets...

More \"How-to\": the Rockhopper propeller module moves in half-steps when rotated onto the righthand side, then habs can be aligned to the offset. This is for fore/aft offsetting.

I have a friend I gave a Switch lite and a copy of the game ages ago, but he struggles a bit to get into it, so I thought maybe a well made corvette with looks and power might help out. I wanted it to be a simple build, with only basic parts offsetting used, the kind of thing I could "teach a person in 5 minutes".

Included at the end of this "style guide" are a couple example pics for anyone here not familiar with offsetting. Basically you use light scaffold and small vents to get parts offset vertically or horizontally, and rockhopper propeller modules and any habs for fore/aft offsetting. Use these positioning tricks to get attach points where you want them (often with other habs or scaffold parts), place the parts you want, then delete the parts involved for offsetting (or shift them back to their proper place, in this build the main habs are shifted back and forth for some placements, no need to delete the main habs between steps)

I will note this was built on Switch 2, so I can't be 100% sure of how it will play on Switch 1, yet, but by my count there should be a couple parts to spare, and I do seem to crash less often when using this corvette in multiplayer than my usual 100+ masterpieces with lots of decoration.

Feel free to tinker and enjoy, that's the whole reason for sharing this with all the details needed to build it!
