No Man’s Sky received a huge update recently that adds a wealth of content to the game, including fleshed-out multiplayer. However, some players are reporting issues with the Next update, namely that the game starts them from the very beginning when they load their save file.
Hello Games has responded to this issue, saying there is a hotfix for that issue (and several others) on the way. It will go live on PC first and then PS4/Xbox One soon:
A new build has been sent to experimental on PC. This will go live to everyone on PC soon. Hot fix patches are in flight for PS4 and XBox (MS/Sony cert means this is a tiny bit slower, but will be with you asap) https://t.co/wm30JeWt5W
