(Game Breaking Bug) The whole game is broken... Ver Feb-2017 45367

MrDoge

I used to love this game, but ever since I've gotten my new laptop (it's a gaming laptop so it should be able to handle this game), everything is broken! When I first load up the game the backdrop is completely black, then when I create a new survival world the beginning cutscene is completely black as well. Then, I try to use my PDA but it's just a blank screen that I can't put down. After that, I try to use the menu screen but none of the buttons work and I can still move around and it just floats there. And to top it all off, I can't look around, grab anything, or die. For some reason everything was perfectly fine and I sunk 2 hours into a world just looking and remembering everything this game had to offer! But now today everything is broken and it just sucks you can't play one of your favorite games. I even tried to fix it in anyway possible and it's just broken. Any feedback of how someone fixed this or if you've experienced the same problem would be so helpful. Thanks~MrDoge

Are you on Stable, or Experimental branch? (aka "Betas" in Subnautica Properties in Steam)

FMOD is used for audio. Not sure why it's not initializing, it's saying it can't initialize your sound card. Have you tried restarting? Updating your sound card drivers? Check Windows updates for a new fix? Roll back a recent update that may have broken it?

All I had to do was restart my computer and the game now works! Thanks!
