Before you update

  • Your settings, your vault and your saves are kept when you update. A vault from v0.3.0 opens
    as it is, nothing to upgrade.

What is new

GOG (Windows)

  • GOG writes the same save format as Steam, byte for byte, into its own folder:
    %AppData%\HelloGames\NMS\DefaultUser. The app now finds that folder by itself and shows it as
    a live source named GOG.
  • GOG slots read G1 to G15 on the board. On the command line, write gog:7 or G7.
  • Moving a save between GOG, Steam and Xbox works like a move between two Steam accounts, with
    the same "another account" confirmation.
  • Emptying a GOG slot shows the steps for GOG Galaxy, and the app warns that GOG's cloud saves
    may put a save back into an empty slot.
  • Already on v0.3.0? Press Rescan once so the GOG folder shows up.

Not yet tried on a real GOG install. If you play on GOG, please try it against a copy of
your save folder first, and tell us how it went.

Epic Games Store: no Epic version of No Man's Sky is known, so there is nothing to support
there yet.

Downloads

  • Windows: NMSSaveVault-Setup-v0.3.1.zip - extract it and run NMSSaveVault.exe (or
    install.bat for shortcuts). The launcher is the Python Software Foundation's own signed
    program, renamed; that signature is Python's, not a signature over this app.
  • Linux / Steam Deck (x86_64): NMSSaveVault-v0.3.1-linux-x86_64.tar.gz - still young, so
    back up your saves by hand first.
  • macOS (Apple Silicon): NMSSaveVault-v0.3.1-macos-arm64.tar.gz - never run on a Mac yet.
    Back up your saves by hand first, and please report how it went.
  • Xbox / Game Pass and GOG stay Windows-only.
