H2.O Update Released - Subnautica
Here is the water you have always wanted! The H2.O update completely overhauls the graphics in Subnautica Early Access: new surface water, longer draw distances, richer colors, pitch black night-time, even solar...
Comments
Yes!
Unfortunately the water on minimum settings is rather immersion-breaking , having very visible polygons. Perhaps keep the old model for that ?
Trying to scan everything for those encyclopaedia entries is a fun challenge , I was disappointed to find bone sharks not scannable however. I wonder how long it takes to scan a reaper , that may not be very practical.
Am I missing fragments or should I be able to build a water park and farm trays ? Can't find those in the builder menu. Or were those not implemented ?
I experience the same problem when playing on minimum. I don't think the large aquarium (water park) and the farm trays were implemented. I would think that they would have mentioned those. Probably soon though.
If you want to scan a reaper or anything dangerous, it might be wise to freeze it with the stasis rifle before scanning to avoid being killed.
I switched from experimental to stable after the patch, and I am able to build them, no fragments involved. Water park in the first tab, farm trays in the third, if I remember correctly. And I think water park is called large aquarium now.
The large aquarium and farming trays are not in this update, they are part of the next big Farming update.
Yes, I always start a fresh game when a big new update comes out; I love exploring and seeing all the major and subtle changes. It's always like start a fresh world.
Quick Translation: Subnautica crashes when I try to start a new game.
It's an early access game, updates may break it (hell even some updates for games that have been released break it and have to be fixed shortly after) so rather than make snide remarks about it, it's best to kindly let the developers know about it and I'm sure they are already working on a fix since quite a few are having issues.
Very System Shock feely for me, I love it!
That's the risk you take when you buy a early access game. In doing so you are, more or less, assisting the devs in developing the game by playing it so that they can receive feedback on gameplay and bugs; something that would be a horrendous burden for them to do on their own. You knew it was early access when you purchased it, you took that risk. The proplem is that we all have different computers, different hardware, different software, different accessories, different settings. What might work for 100 people might not work for 5. Again, this is the purpose of early access. I am sure the devs will release a fix vary soon. In the meantime, simply stating "my game won't load" is of no help to the devs whatsoever. You need to explain in more details what is going on? When does the crash happen? Is it before the resolution, graphics setting page? Is it during the splash-screen time? Does the game start and then crash? Are there any error messages? Are you using stable or experimental version?
Have you submitted a proper support request for it?
Good work devs!
I would like to point out one tiny tiny thing that is not a bug but more of a "dumb thing"; the clouds at night appear to go behind the stars; the stars can be clearly see over the clouds.
And how big is the H2.0 Update?
Last, does anyone have coordinates for the wrecks biome i can't seem to find it?
The wrecks biome is located somewhere in the Grassy Plateau, northeast of your starting place in a new game (wich is in the middle of the map, in the Safe Shallows). You can take a look on this map link : https://us.v-cdn.net/5019629/uploads/editor/s6/k1y5zvaavqid.png
1. can you use the biome command to get to the wrecks biome?
2. have you found the wrecks biome yourself?
This biome is not implemented on "creative" mode (because the explosion of the Aurora doesn't occure on this mode, so there are no wrecks at all appearing on the map)
