Compatibility Fixes
Graphics Driver Compatibility
Newer AMD and nVidia Drivers cause errors such as only the 2D interface showing without the 3D graphics, or a SHADERERRORDUMP.txt being generated by No Man's Sky.

Download RetroShaderFix |
Using the link above, download the .pak files you need for your No Man's Sky Version (Release/Foundations/Pathfinder/ Atlas Rises) and graphics card Manufacturer (AMD or NVIDIA).
The .pak files are in the format <Version>.<Manufacturer>*.pak, for example Foundations.NVIDIAFragData.pak, however an exception is Universal.AMDSpaceMapHorizon.pak which is for all No Man's Sky versions on AMD graphics cards.
For version 1.10 and older, place the .pak in /GAMEDATA/PCBANKS. Then, go back to /GAMEDATA and delete /SHADERCACHE.
For version 1.12 and newer, go to /GAMEDATA/PCBANKS and delete (or rename) DISABLEMODS.TXT. Then, in the same folder, create a new folder called MODS. Place the .pak in there, then head back to /GAMEDATA and delete /SHADERCACHE.
Mod Compatibility Note: When using Retro Shader Fix with other mods such as Rayrod's Overhaul make sure that the patch(es) is the last file in the MODS folder when sorted alphabetically. Add z to the beginning of the patch's file name until it's last in order, for example zzAtlasRises.AMDTextureArray.pak
