As of Worlds Part II, Hello Games has implemented a new archive format (HGPAK) that is properly optimized for high speed decompression and dynamic loading, thus rendering the need for Decompressinator moot. Changelog: The filesystem has been reworked to take advantage of cutting-edge compression technology, allowing for larger content updates without increasing download size, and making all future patches smaller. Load times are up to 4x faster, and improved data caching reduces hitches during transitions, such as when flying from planetary atmosphere into space.
Voll der Müll ist das. Das spiel läuft bei mir jetzt katastrophal. Ich muss alles auf Leistung stellen, sogar im Nvidia Menü um halbwegs in VR zu spielen. Jedoch macht es so mal gar keinen Spaß. Part 1 lief bei mir auch ohne Mod gut bis sehr gut.. Und jetzt??? Mein System ist i9900k auf all 4,8 rtx3070ti ddr4 32gb 3600
Wow this is incredible. I was completely unable to play NMS on my index and swore off the game until this was fixed in some fashion. Its a shame that HG barely even acknowledges how poor the PCVR experience is. Kudos to the modder and you for showcasing it! Definitely subbing
You earned my sub good sir, I didn’t even know how well no man’s sky supports mods. Just sent me down a rabbit hole finding some awesome mods lmao thank you Really gonna help me get better performance when recording so now I can lean into making more no man’s sky content, thanks again man
I'd been speaking to folks that referenced some of NMS performance issues were due to heavy compression to make it efficient, but it trades taking up less space at the cost of some performance, but word is that if you could decompress the files, the performance would be drastically better. I hadn't tested it though, but this video does make me more curious about it.
For me, it's made all the difference in VR. I'd love some feedback on if it improves performance for you too. I suspect it would help a lot people get a more consistent framerate, but I can only go on my own experience right now.
Havent tried this specific mod, was just browsing in general to look into VR experience in this game. But what I have is similar one, that decompresses specific assets in order to remove the freezing when leaving the planet and it works perfectly.
Going to try this shortly, but given that the uncompressed install is still relatively modest (by modern standards) HG should really consider this being the standard mode for the PC
I agree with that. I think it would be a good idea for Hello Games to at least add the extra uncompressed install as an option for those who prioritise performance over a small installation.
No Man's Sky is already huge but the stutter and performance in VR has been a tack in my foot for two years now. If I got the GB space left I'll definitely be trying this tomorrow. AMD Ryzen 7 5800 8-core processor Nvidia GeoForce Rtx 3060ti 16 GB Ram 512 GB SSD Quest 2 5 ghz WiFi Virtual Desktop
Well, I came back for the redux. I did half with it unpacked and half back to generated on the fly. Honestly, I didn't see too much improvement but it's hard to tell with the Expeditions because there are other bugs to contend with. So I just don't know what benefits in total it offered.
I may have to give this a go sometime. I used to have No Man's Sky running really smoothly (apart from planet exits) on my old 1080ti and Valve Index years ago and I played many hours. I had a brilliant mod from Nexus - I think it was called anti-bloom? that made the graphics look so much better in VR. When I tried to return to No Man's Sky after switching my PCVR to a Quest 3 I just couln't get it running properly. I recently bought a 4070ti expecting better results but it still hasn't been playable. I'd love to get playing it again as there have been countless updates since I last played.
I played it originally on my 1080ti as well, but the problem with the game is that it continually has had various updates over the years. Some slightly improve performance, but a vast majority generally seem to make performance gradually worse. I can't imagine trying to run it on a 1080Ti now. I'd urge you to give this mod a try if you have the game installed on a fast SSD/NVME drive. As I mention in the video, your mileage may vary on the results, but it's made a huge difference for me.
If you try this mod, then please let me know your results. I'm very interested to know if the impact is as noticeable on other's systems who play the game in VR on PC. Also, for reference, my PC specs are in the description to this video. My in-game settings are generally on standard, except textures (high), reflections, water, terrain tesselation, planet detail and base complexity (all on enhanced).
I don't understand it. I have the same CPU as you, yet I have a utilization of about 70-90%. I have unlocked all cores and threads, but my game runs so poorly. I have a 3080 Ti, 32 GB RAM, M.2 SSD, Ryzen 7 5800X, but I only get 40 FPS on medium settings.
@@stevevsstifla Apologies for the late reply, I've been away. My in-game settings are that I generally have everything on 'standard', except textures (high), reflections, water, terrain tesselation, planet detail and base complexity (enhanced). If I go up to 'enhanced' or 'high' on most things then it will result in more frame drops. Also, I do have DLSS enabled on 'Quality', which makes a difference when using my Quest 3 to maintain consistent frame timings.
I run it in steam VR and it's smooth here. But I do have the fastest internet possible. I also tweaked the settings a bit which also makes a huge difference.
I had a game folder on another drive, I did everything as you said, but all my files just moved to the PackedFileBackup folder in a short time and that's it. Then I launched the game and it doesn't work((( Now I'm thinking, maybe I should have installed the game where I have steam installed (drive C)
As per the pinned comment, as of the latest NMS update, this Decompressinator mod is now redundant anyway. A similar solution has now been imbedded into the game by Hello Games themselves.
Thanks for this, will let you know how this mod goes for me Specs: Pico 4 wired (Pico connect) High res 150 bitrate 16gb ram Ryzen 5 5600x Rtx 3070 Nvme gen 3 drive Update: just tried it, no fps increase but DEFINITELY a lot smoother, makes it way more playable thanks a lot Fps average is 70fps on standard/enhanced settings
This is my experience exactly. I think rather than an overall fps improvement, the mod offers more consistency, and that was the main issue with playing it in VR for me.
Game won’t run anymore just saying there is a conflict with mods. I tried deleting the 3 mods I had and when that didn’t work I deleted the 3 files from this video but it still says the same thing. Is my only option delete and redownload game?? I did everything the same as the video the only thing I can think of would be is the other mods I had but even after uninstalling back to the base game its still busted, its got me scared to try this again
Sorry to hear that. I used this mod without any others installed, although I have installed two mods separately after the fact and it still works fine. There must be some clash with one of the mods you had installed I guess. The developer of Decompressinator said it should work with existing mods, but couldn't guarantee it.
NMS look great and runs really well on my 4090. I'm curious how much better it is with the mod you suggest. But the game is so big and confusing to me that I get lost and make no progress.
They've added a lot over the years, so I sometimes forget how confusing it might be for new players. The general advice is to follow the path of the story it gives you at the beginning as that will basically guide you through everything. It's a very grindy game for the first few hours, but that changes as you start to build yourself up.
Pleas help! (and sorry for my bad english) I don't understand it. I have the same CPU as you, yet I have a utilization of about 70-90%. I have unlocked all cores and threads, but my game runs so poorly. I have a 3080 Ti, 32 GB RAM, M.2 SSD, Ryzen 7 5800X, but I only get 40 FPS on medium settings.
What headset are you using? If Quest 3, what method of connection? What resolution/refresh rate are you running at? My in game settings are generally pretty on ‘standard’ apart from textures, water and planet detail. I also enable DLSS.
@ does VD give better performance or image quality over a link cable running at 960mbps bitrate? I have a 3080 as well and i read VD av1 is only supported by 40 series so I can't get the new codec on VD anyway
You're a youtuber and you didn't try/review a mod on the basis of skepticism? Isn't that your reason of being, to show the people. It's been 1/4th of a year since its last update and you could have been on it early, instead you wait for god knows why, blissfully ignorant. I think it's safe to say you will never reach any play button. And after saying all of that, I've clicked on your channel and saw you're much older than my initial guess of early 20s and you haven't been active so now I feel like a complete jackass. I will be keeping the nasty part as to spite myself, and blush like an idiot clicking send whilst minimally standing my my first statement. In line with my first comments, this could have come sooner or the comeback video could have been more eventful. Although a nice view count for the first day comeback, I don't see this hitting hard, but quite resourceful. I'd personally go for explaining the downsides before or in the middle of explaining the mod, much more digestible or easy to understand what you need instead of waiting or timeline surfing. Either way welcome back, it's nice to see someone who has/had put in the work for a passion, especially nowadays. Edit: I'm actually installing this because of you, again, sorry for being so brunt in the beginning, I just got out of a decade relationship and the evils of Lucy was all around me.
Yeah, I'm not really a RUclipsr. I'm a VR gamer who occasionally posts videos when there is something I find interesting. That elusive Play button can remain elusive for as long as I'm drawing breath as far as I'm concerned. :D

How did it go?
Now if the mods for getting rid of warp lines and to make space actually black still work, I’d be very tempted to play again in VR.

Is the ship controls better? I never really liked the virtual joystick thing they did.
Unfortunately it still relies on those virtual flight sticks. I’m ok with them now, but I know what you mean.
You can use a controller for flight
You can use a Xbox or PS5 to control the ship in VR on PC or PS5. Just put down the VR controllers and pick up your other controller.
