I just upgraded my graphics card to a geforce gtx 1060 which is great for lots of things but has caused problems with No Man's Sky. All aliens, all creatures, all small rocks, some larger rocks, some plants and some building textures are now just dull black. It appears to be the only game negatively affected by the change.

Before anyone asks I do have the latest available NMS version from GOG and have tried deleting the shader cache - it made no difference. I did install the latest nvidia driver released at the end of June when I put in the card.

Other info: my home desktop computer is not internet connected and is running Windows 7 - due to the hassle I had registering some software to the computer I'm not going to upgrade to Win 10. All drivers for the previous card have been deleted.

Ideas anyone?

That's unexpected. I'm running a 4 GB GTX 1050 Ti and it's great.

In the Nvidia control panel I'm set to FXAA = on, Antialiasing mode = override appliction, Antialiasing setting = 4x, Antialiasing transparency = off, Power management mode = prefer maximum performance, Texture filtering - trilinear optimization = off, Threaded optimization = on, Triple buffering = on, Vertical sync = fast, Virtual Reality pre-rendered frames = use application setting. All others are default.

In game it's: Window mode = full screen, Resolution = 1920 x 1080, V-sync = off, Anti-aliasing = FXAA, On foot FOV = 90, Flight FOV = 90, Motion blur = off, HBAO = off, Anisotropic filtering = 16, Texture detail = medium, Shadow detail = medium, Reflection quality = medium, Light shafts = on, Max FPS = Max, Gamma = 100.

I could probably push some of the in-game setting higher (and may fiddle with them later) but it's working fine and looks good so ...

Thanks dashiichi I'll have a look at those settings you mention.

I did manage to solve my problem. Firstly i backed up my game files then completely uninstalled and removed all traces of No Man's Sky. Did a restart, reinstalled No Man's Sky and played a new game for about 10 mins before saving out and closing the program. I then dropped my game files back in place and now it works fine! Stupid me - I should have done this the first time!

I kept my new game by labeling the game folder DefaultUser2. By renaming the folders before playing I can redo the game and play through differently without wiping out my long standing game. I've been really into base building - might play the new game and build towards getting a freighter.

Edit: I marked you as solving the problem because A) you tried and B) apparently I can't solve my own problems according to the forum software!

Roger that! I'm often amazed that these %&*#! computers work at all, much less as reliably as they (mostly) do.
