No Man's Sky has a game-breaking glitch - Here's how to avoid it

The fear of being stranded in space is something that works of fiction have utilised for years. Now, No Man's Sky players are being faced with that reality.

There are reports popping up on Reddit of a glitch that could result in the game basically being over for you. It seems that the game's pre-order bonus doesn't play nice with the rest of the universe.

Players who pre-order the game get their hands on a ship with an extra inventory slot and - where problems arise - a hyperdrive, which allows for warping between star systems. However, acquiring blueprints for a hyperdrive is an invaluable part of the tutorial, and one that has come back to haunt some of those that chose to start with the pre-order bonus ship.
