If you installed some mod and the game stopped working after downloading the update Path Finder, it is likely that they are to blame. In this case, try removing all the mods you downloaded by deleting each of them in their folders, and only then try to run the game again;

Step 5. There are cases of players who have only managed to make No Man's Sky work again after downloading and installing the Microsoft Visual C ++ program, but this step requires good programming knowledge.

To fix the game without downloading external programs, try repairing the files manually by typing "C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Steam \ steamapps \ common \ No Man's Sky \ _CommonRedist \ vcredist" in your favorite browser or file explorer.

In folders 2010 and 2013, open an ".exe" file at a time, right-click on them and select the "repair" option. After that, restart the computer for the changes to take effect on the system.

If none of the above steps work, take the most drastic action and completely uninstall the game from your computer. Often, the simple re-download and installation process is enough to solve the problems.
