Hi there~
So when I try to launch my game through steam, this appears:
Seconds later I get "Subnautica.exe has stopped working".
I made sure that my GeForce Driver is up to date and I also uninstalled and re-installed the game but the result is the same.
Here's my Dxdiag:

Here my output log. I had to split it into two parts because it's apparently too big for pastebin's limit. Hope that's not a problem.

What can I do?
The game ran fine last time I played it, which was about... maybe a month ago.

Months-old problem. Persists still after most recent update. No resolution at all. Since it might be hardware-related, it's not even 100% sure a full system format would help.
So yeah, buy a new PC is the only "solution" for us.
I can't buy a new PC AGAIN.
I want a fix or my money back!
I was so excited to try the new update and now this...
I did reinstall everything Realtek (sound drivers) related, yes.
So holyshitballs...you guys have been through the wringer...I just read your other threads.
Although I didn't come up with anything myself, feelin ya pain with the lockout... Seen Meet the Parents? "Here's the circle..."
Hopefully something gives soon.
ps - Pretty far out I know but given the cicrumstances....and like a tech support guy asking "if you can actually see with your own eyes the power cord plugged in", um, have you tried alt+tabbing back IN to the game once it launches with that little window? Didn't see it mentioned anywhere, or maybe I missed it, and its free to try I spose...
Alas, it doesn't seem to do anything.
Here's what the game 'window' looks like on W7.
And then it just stops responding.
Eh-heh. Now we have more to go on. So the problem appears out of the blue, not the result of an update (it won't / can't update when you're playing). Leads me to think file corruption of some sort, at least in your case.
Move your SavedGames folder out of <usually Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Subnautica\SNAppData\ to, say, your desktop. Uninstall Subnautica. Go to your steamapps\common directory again, be sure Subanutica is well and truly gone. Run a chkdsk on your drive, just for the heck of it (especially if you mysteriously can't delete the Subnautica folder!).
Re-install Subnautica, don't move saves back yet. Test to be sure you can indeed fire up a game. If so, move your saves back. If moving the saves back causes an issue, post back, it's possible they might be able to be saved.
EDIT: Wait. I've posted this solution before... well, try it, see if that fixes, if not, nothing lost. Darned bug.
Hey, can you launch and play other Unity games? Specifically, recent ones, as they'll be using the same Unity engine as Subnauitca?
Step 1: Open Subnautica
Step 2: Open the Task Manager
Step 3: Right Click on Subnautica
Step 4: Click on Expand
Step 5: Right click on the Subnautica subprocess
Step 6: Click Expand again.
Step 7: Restart Subnautica
ENJOY!!!!!!
IT WAS THAT EASY!?!? REALLY!? OH MY GOD I'M DUMBFOUNDED :DDDDDDDDDDDD
Thank you so much!!! Finally!
Man, I could just kiss you right now.
Welp, looks like I'll be busy tonight! xD
Hopefully this helps you guys figure out what's going on somehow?
What did you mean by Subnautica subprocess?
Can't find a process in taskmanager that I can expand besides the Subnautica.exe
There is also another method you can use to work around this issue:
Right click on Subnautica in your Library, hit properties. Click 'Set Launch Options' button. Put inside it: -screen-width 1920 -screen-height 1080 Hit OK. Game should now be fine.
Thank you very much Obraxis!!! The launch code fixed my game! Played it for 6 hours straight... missed it so much...
