No Man’s Sky’s The Swarm 6.45 is live on Steam, with console fixes next

Hello Games has pushed No Man’s Sky The Swarm 6.45 live on Steam, while the same fixes will reach other platforms as soon as possible. The studio said it had been tracking issue reports through Zendesk and console crash reporting before putting this patch together.

This is a focused cleanup pass rather than a sweeping systems rewrite. It targets problems tied to the Hive of Glass milestone, resource loss when editing bases owned by other players, ship-trail flicker, a cloud bug on PSVR2, and a photo mode hang on Switch 1.

If you run into fresh issues, Hello Games is asking players to send them through its bug report form.

• Fixed an issue which caused players to lose resources when editing player bases they did not own themselves.
• Fixed an issue which could cause ship trails to flicker.
