Update 8 Schedule - Subnautica
Predicting the future is very difficult: We leave that job to the Future Perfect development team. It is possible, however, to make a decent call about when then next Subnautica...

It was the latest in a series of very strange decisions made by UWE. See NS2: Combat release/etc.
The thought process behind releasing without something like that absolutely boggles my mind.
Anyway I'm impatient to have save/load !
@Deadwood At the moment the game is not that big so you can start over and have most of the equipments in a few minutes.
We respectfully disagree. When you buy early access, you are buying a partially complete game. That is absolutely what we state on all our press. It sounds like you do not want that - so please, DO NOT BUY OUR GAME. It's not for you - yet.
We can agree to disagree and that is fine. I'm well aware of what early access is, but some things should be a given... for any kind of public release. Also, wouldn't releasing without a save feature immediately make people think there is very little to do in the games current state? Perhaps there really just isn't that much content, which goes back to my other point about the bar for early access being set lower than is reasonable.
Of course it's not just a UWE problem, there are plenty of others out there releasing absolute trash into early access. I just expected better.
Though as you say the features in the game right now are few and far between, at least we have a lot of transparency and the updates come practically every day if you use the experimental branch. Just sayin. I think we just value different things in how we look at games, that's all-- but IMO, the game was totally worth the buy-- so far... and UWE, don't be the next ubisoft and think that just cause you have a bunch of diehard fans, we won't turn on you if you treat us wrong. Haven't but any Ubisoft game except FC4, and I doubt I"ll be buying the next games they spit out at that.
My concern is that, even though it shows 3840x2160 as being an option in the pre-game configuration menu, as soon as you start the game, it goes back to 1080p.
Maybe that's just me though, as I'm not actually using a 4k monitor, I just downscale. However, normally every game that supports 4k can run on 1080p screens provided you downscale the resolution, but just Subnautica doesn't. I thought it was running in 4k for a little while, but whenever any game does run at the supersampled resolution, it messes up the scaling of everything else, like steam overlay.
Aww...
One thing re the experimental release, I'm getting crashes when I interact with the life-pods inventory.
Also the Seaglide glitches out when you first leave the pod - I've found that dropping it then picking it up again fixes it.
have we gotten the official Update 8 yet? I can see a lot of different promised additions (though some don't work quite as planned :P ) though some of them don't seem to be fully implemented? I honestly just can't tell O_o
More are being added, but they are there....just rare at the moment!
Thanks for the reply
