So, my wife is on a 'standard' Sentinal planet, and when she, say, attempts to collect resources at a Resource Depot, for a mission, literally THOUSANDS of Sentinals spawn, of all types... she's completely surrounded. And many of them overlap, especially the Walkers.

It looks really cool, but it crashes the game really fast. Been trying to snag a screenie, but we haven't had any luck.

Has anyone else seen this glitch, or have any suggestions for a temporary fix?

Title was meant to read "1000's 'of' Sentinals spawn!!!" Was watching my wife try again while typing.

Update: got a screenie, but walkers hadn't showed up yet, there's also far fewer Sentinals at this point. If the game hadn't crashed there would have been many many more very shortly.

I'm sorry I have no fix to, nor have I seen this glitch. You definately have a real bad sentinal problem there. Plasma grenades aren't going to fix that.

However, in the 2 years I've been playing NMS and following it on the web, this is the greatest in game thing I have ever seen. Even without the walkers, the screenshot you took is amazing.. Just freakishly stunning. I'm sorry for your game crashing but it sure looks cool. Thanks again for the screenshot.

Good Luck.

I've seen this reported before here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/275850/discussions/0/1762481957322965488/

Alas, I've not seen a fix for it.

Amazing screenshot -- thank you for sharing it :)

This might have been fixed in the latest experimental build (24/08) not yet available on GoG, sine the changelog includes the following entry:
- Fixed an issue that could cause vast numbers of Sentinel Drones to spawn.

Addenum: DarkLord79 updated our changelog thread accordingly: https://www.gog.com/forum/no_mans_sky/changelog

Cool, thanx.... kinda figured we weren't the first to see it.

I've never experienced the sentinel swarm, so this is totally off the wall but I kind of wish that at least the possibility of hundreds of sentinels spawning (or even dozens) could exist. Not every time, of course, but if that particular drone was having a bad day when you started mining that ferrite dust ...

Destroy the depot from your ship.


Plus that was a funny pic, mas sentinals, major stars, or instant death.

After any major update in NMS (according to what I have observed in the past), there is a lot of work in 'Experimental versions' going on in order to fix problems with the help of the players.

This problem, and many others is already resolved and is in the list of fixed bugs. You can always see the latest state of experimental versions here:

It's always in the main discussion on Steam as a sticky post.

If a problem appears as resolved then chances are very high that it will be fixed in the next 'regular' update.
