    Hi Devs,

    I found a minor bug on the current non-experimental Subnautica build on Steam, in regards to docking a Seamoth on a Cyclops. This bug is fairly easy to reproduce, and is very minor. It is not game-breaking, but is only slightly inconvenient.

    Version:
    (Steam) Early Development Build 16255 Apr-15

    Description:
    About 1/5 of the time when docking a Seamoth at a Cyclops, I am teleported to the back of the docking room, half in the ceiling. I have 7 lockers in the Cyclops docking room, which may affect this (I have not tested the bug without them). It is easy to escape this - just "wiggle" in all directions until you fall back onto the docking room floor.

    Reproduction Steps:
    Dock a Seamoth at a Cyclops repeatedly until this bug occurs. This may be affected by lockers being built in the docking chamber. Let me know if it would be helpful for me to test this with vs. without lockers in the docking room. This bug has occurred from the Mar-2015 build through the Apr-2015 build.

    Pictures or Video:
    An image of where I am teleported in the Cyclops can be found here: http://i.imgur.com/d1ezIuI.jpg

    Dxdiag log can be found here:

    Thanks!

    Dear Devs

    I found a bug that made you basicly invincible, but you couldn't swim. Love your game by the way.

    Version
    16296 apr-15

    Description
    I was building a second base in survival mode to cover more ground near a creepvine forest and I saw a small leech like creature swimming around which was new to me, so my curiosity took the better of me. I tried to grab it and the leech grabbed my arm instead, so naturally I began to flail around in panic when i noticed my health was dropping. I got the idea of entering my base, so i did, but that didn't stop the little bugger sucking out my blood.
    And here is were the bug kicked in. When I died I didn't spawn in my escape pod, I fell trough the floor of the base and landed on the bottom of the seafloor. My health was 0 and my food was 0 and my oxygen didn't drop, so I tought; Great!. However I couldn't swim, awww. It was like the game thought I was still in my base, for I heard the same metaly steps as I was walking along seabed, but I could still grab stuff.

    Pictures or videos
    I have a 1 minute video from my mobile phone of the aftermath, but it doesn't seem I can't send it here, I'm in need of a Email address to send it to.

    Regards, Oddi123

    Thanks for catching another one!
    You can email the video to: jonas (at) unknownworlds (dot) com and steve (at) unknownworlds (dot) com. Just replace the (at) with @ and the (dot) with "."

    Also, if you haven't played again after this bug occurred, consider following the steps at http://forums.unknownworlds.com/discussion/137004/crashing-launching-or-playing-subnautica-follow-these-steps-to-make-a-good-crash-support-post#latest. Doing these steps will help you get the dxdiag and output logs for the game, which will help the devs track down the cause of the bug.

    Kaspersky Malware Detection

    The supposed 'false detection' of a Trojan called 'Backdoor.Win32.Swrort.gho' residing in the latest update to Subnautica32.exe is a very real problem.

    Unable to run the game, and the solutions offered so far are unworkable.

    I refuse to waste my meagre bandwidth allowance by deleting the entire game and reloading it after practically opening the door to an unknown number of malware programs. Please devise a safe, easy to follow procedure for convincing Kaspersky anti-virus that Subnautica is malware-free, or rework the offending code string(s) so that they do not resemble a malicious program.

    This situation is not something to be shrugged off lightly or brushed aside with a mouthful of platitudes.

    This is a definite deal-breaker.

    I respectfully recommend that UWE finds a solution to this problem as soon as is humanly possible. Preferably one that does not involve compromising one's online security.

    Hello, there is my bug, with wrong displayed T-Corridor :

    Experimental build 21219

    When I want to build a T-corridor it actually shows as X-corridor. Although it works correctly (as T), but it appears wrong (as X). The display is also bad. Wrong part of the T-corridor is only shown partially and parts of the T axis is missing.
    Everything inside is as it should be.

    Hi, I have found a minor bug while remodeling my base, I removed my corridor from my room while I was standing inside the corridor, and when it disappeared fully, i fell through (like i figured i would), however, i fell onto the foundation and was still able to walk around, i was unable to swim and my Oxygen levels were not dropping. Once I placed the corridor and hatch where i wanted, i was able to enter and exit normally and swim again.

    To make sure it wasn't just a random glitch, i repeated it a few times, and it was consistent.

    I hope this helped in case I was the first this had happened to. I can post some pictures if necessary, I didn't think it was needed since it was a minor bug but I can if you need some.

    Also, I wanted to say that Subnautica is an amazing game, i have only had it for a few days, but have had so much fun playing it, keep up the fantastic work, and i can't wait to see what's in the next update.

    (Oh, and I am also using the Default build of Subnautica)

    Two problems in one! F8 gets me a error message asking if I am connected to the interwebs. Why, yes, I am. But I can't leave feedback in game. That's a side issue, however. The bug I am trying to report is that when I launched the game today, my SeaMoth was not docked where I left it. There is a 'ghost' SeaMoth about 4 meters below my MoonPool, but I cannot interact with it. I swim right through it. So I built a new SeaMoth. The new SeaMoth will not dock in the MoonPool and makes crashing noises when it hits the 'ghost' SeaMoth. The 'ghost' won't move no matter how I push it with my new SeaMoth.

    At this point, I am discouraged from playing at all. Has anyone else had this happen? I am using version 21990 AUG-2015. It has worked fine until today. Waddup?

    Larry

    P.S. Please get rid of the dead SeaMoths, or at least stop them from blinking a beacon.

    UPDATE: I noticed the 'ghost' SeaMoth, which is not a dead SeaMoth, but one that is visible, but has no interaction, was making docking like motions when I moved my new SeaMoth into docking position. My live SeaMoth did nothing. So . . . I deconstructed my moonpool and rebuilt it. The ghost disappeared and my original SeaMoth returned to normal. I climbed in and it docked normally. All fixed, but now I have two SeaMoths. No big deal. An odd bug though.

    I still cannot report a but in-game though.
