Pause/Esc Menu Bug

ferny13

Same thing happens to me. I already downloaded the audio drivers and it worked for a couple of hours then it started doing it again.

If you want to try restarting your audio service, I made a file to do it for you.

Either download this file to a convenient place (like your Desktop) and run it, or, if you're not comfortable doing that, you can create the file yourself:

1) Open Notepad.
2) Select, then Copy + Paste the code block below into your Notepad window.
3) Click "File > Save As"
4) Navigate to your Desktop, or another convenient place where you can open this file when needed.
5) Select "Save As Type..." and choose "All Files (*.*)" < -- very important
6) Type in a name for the file, and end it with ".cmd". I suggest "Restart Audio Service.cmd"
7) Click "Save"
8) When necessary, double-click on the file.

Be sure to give the script admin permissions if prompted, or it will not have the proper access to stop / start Windows Services.

Script:

@echo off
:: BatchGotAdmin
:-------------------------------------
REM  --> Check for permissions
>nul 2>&1 "%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\cacls.exe" "%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\config\system"

REM --> If error flag set, we do not have admin.
if '%errorlevel%' NEQ '0' (
    echo Requesting administrative privileges...
    goto UACPrompt
) else ( goto gotAdmin )

:UACPrompt
    echo Set UAC = CreateObject^("Shell.Application"^) > "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
    echo UAC.ShellExecute "%~s0", "", "", "runas", 1 >> "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"

    cscript "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
    exit /B

:gotAdmin
    if exist "%temp%\getadmin.vbs" ( del "%temp%\getadmin.vbs" )
    pushd "%CD%"
    CD /D "%~dp0"
:-------------------------------------- 
REM  --> Stop Windows Audio Service
echo Stopping Windows Audio Service...
net stop audiosrv
REM  --> Start Windows Audio Service
echo Starting Windows Audio Service...
net start audiosrv
echo Windows Audio Service should be restarted now.
pause

Try clearing the text files (ONLY the *.txt text files, not the .bin files) from your main saved game folder, and deleting the contents of your cellscache folder from your savedgames folder (NOT the Build18 folder)

Catalin28

its not working:(( But i find the output log file

0x6A7232

Copy + Paste it to pastebin.com and post a link here.

ferny13

it did not fix it. the sound ill fix it later. my main issue is that when i try to go to the esc menu or access something that uses the pda menu, the game gets stuck. I can't get out or interact with anything. i can swim but that's it. it happens on both a save game and a new game.

ferny13

here is my Output Log

ferny13

and my DXDiag

My output log

Catalin28

how did u find the dxdiag?

Catalin28

now the game is working ok no more bug {this esc/pause bug} do you know what was it?

0x6A7232

Perhaps there was an update. Dxdiag can be found by running dxdiag and clicking "Save all information..." But you don't need that if your game is working now. So, everything works?

Catalin28

The game is ok but it has no sound and the text is not appearing
.When i say text i am refearing at the text of the bottom screen .

0x6A7232

@Catalin28 @ferny13 you both have FMOD (subnautica uses this for sound) initialization errors. Can you try updating your drivers?

ferny13

I already did. Twice. I went to Realtek Website and downloaded them from there. It worked for a couple of hours then it started doing all this again.

0x6A7232

Nuts. If you were on Steam I'd say try Experimental (or go back to Stable if you were on Experimental to begin with) but I don't know if / how that works on the Epic Games Launcher.

Catalin28

I was just the same.

Catalin28

But now i actualized the drivers.

Catalin28

And... its not working. Anyway i am on epic games

ferny13

Same here. Epic Games.

0x6A7232

You guys are launching Subnautica from the Epic Games Launcher, right? Not using a shortcut to the .exe or double-clicking the .exe? Apparently the DRM doesn't like it if you don't launch from inside the Epic Games Launcher.

Catalin28

Oh. ok

Yes. But for me, launching it by double-clicking works just fine for me.
I also got the same issue again. My game was running fine for 2 weeks but pressing tab to open my inventory displays nothing and clicking escape to pause the game softlocks itself.

Also I want to thank you for doing a lot for us

ferny13

I've done both. Launching it from the Launcher and double clicking from the shortcut. I don't know what else to do.
