It wasnt worth the price paid to pre pay. I had to reinstall windows today and i also had to re install No mans sky. I lost everything. The planets , the system i discovered all gone. I was placed on another planet in another system. WTH? Is rthere no way to get those discoveriies back?

Did you back up your user folder before reinstalling Windows?

Did NMS break windows that you had to re-install your whole PC?! Why did you have to reinstall Windows?

This sounds to me like you're trying to find a scapegoat while you yourself forgot to backup your savegames.

Windows locked up i had to restart and it wouldnt go past the circling dots(windows 10) couldnt back anything up. I should have backed it up in the beginning. But i figured the things i discovered would still be there from a server or something

I mean the game locked up!

So No Man's Sky did force you to re-install Windows.

You should send Hello Games an email about that, and ask them for compensation.

I set the location of my user folder onto the second hard disk, so all my savegames and other stuff is still there is windows goes.
This is something everyone should do. Windows shoudl set itself up this way by default.

Yeah I've been doing this for years! I used to do it mainly so I wouldn't have to use the defragmentation tool so often in older windows versions (and because I sometimes had big files in my documents and desktop folders) but it's incredibly useful as a backup as well!

(Watch out! Someone's venting) - Jesus F-ing Christ! I'm really starting to get tired of you whining brats. Guess what, I don't have those problems because I take time to learn things and be smart rather than cry like a stuck pig to get things. Some adult has to have told you at some time that you earn what you get right? The new method to get things is to cry and bitch and have someone else get/steal it for you. That not working out so well for you? Maybe you could be calmer, more polite, and work for something. Just a crazy idea. ...Man, I feel like I came from a different planet. (Maybe that's why I enjoy this game...hmmm??) I usually don't post anything, but I get tired of filtering through whaaaaaaambulance posts to get to decent stuff. I love people, I really do, it's just the dumb ones....unnerving.

Edit: Thanks to the other posters for trying to help, I lose patience sometimes. They need the help for God's sake.

No, I am with you here, Jason. Find where the game saves in a folder called DefaultUser... (hint: YOUR BOOT DRIVE:/Users/YOUR USER NAME/AppData/Roaming/HelloGames/NMS/DefaultUser ... zip up that folder and send it to dropbox, your email, whatever as you go. (I personally copy it and then rename the copy as I go - I've done this since the game came out).
Regardless, back up your ENTIRE drive to a back up drive weekly - it is worth it - drives aren't that expensive these days and there is a free good backup program called "Karen's Replicator" (who's author was awesome to provide us with this FREE program! RIP.) that'll just back up the changes to your drive so they'll last longer.

Otherwise, if you don't take these measures, don't get that upset. I am speaking from experience as one of my other computers runs Linux Mint and for some reason decided not to work yesterday - I never thought the items on the computer were THAT important (I use the computer to Skype family) so just reinstalled the OS and Skype and am A OKAY.

Just let him go people, just let him go...

Claude1864 if you are struggling with such things just stick to Steam mate. They will do things like that for you or buy a console...

I backup my games regularly, but I believe gog would benefit greatly from cloud saving. It is a sorely missed feature and would make more people switch from steam.

If you haven't yet done a new partinionning of your hard drive (and even then), try to use a file recovery software, chances are that you can recover the save folder and its contents, especially if you didn't many operations siince the new install. But then, do it soon.
Also, if you have just run the 'Repair Windows', chances are that the save points of win are still there, so you didn't 'Re-install' Windows.
