We have a new update, which calls for a new thread. I will no longer update my old Update 1.0 thread. Instead, it will be used as a reference (some of the bugs on there are still relevant). Update 2 is merely a bug patch, and some bugs are no longer a problem. However, that does not make the game immune to new bugs!
Like with my old thread, I will update this one as time moves on. I learned a few more things about BBCode, and how to post hyperlinks and such. As a result, I will record any visible bugs and post them on xboxdvr.com. As Xbox One players, we have an easy way to record clips for reports.
EDIT: Also, I will also add TL;DR descriptions right near the hyphens. Whether it is my report, or someone else's in a quote, it will be edited this way. This is important to me, because bug lists can be long. If I can quickly skim through the list, while reading the short descriptions, then I can see if I'm about to repost the same bug. I am forgetful, and this will help me stay organized.
- Erratic Shadow glitch that randomly appears : I was able to record a clip of this issue appearing twice. You can see it shortly after the video starts, and shortly after I refill my oxygen
- Lifepod has water clipping through it : My life pod has a hole somewhere... This is pretty consistent, and I'm confident we all noticed this after the update. Not a single new game will fix this, or a reinstall. The video is time-stamped right at the evidence.
- Floaters aren't spawning correctly; Instead, they just float away from the rocks they used to spawn on: Video of them floating away from what they usually spawn on. I don't remember seeing floaters spawn on top of the water. It seems like they won't automatically attach themselves when they spawn with the rocks. I am warning anyone to watch out for those floaters, especially in vehicles.
- Main character still has unhuman-like movement in his right arm : An old bug, albeit a small one. Still, a bug is a bug!
- Sunlight refraction penetrates solid objects : Sunlight penetrating the cyclops. EDIT: changed "reflection" to "refraction" to make more sense (Physics!)
- Waterproof lockers disappear after travelling a good distance away from it
- Setting up the Mobile Vehicle Bay, through the Right Hand command, makes it impossible to be picked up again It was possible to pick it up and climb on it pre-update. Now, you have to push it around if it floats out of place
- Falling to the bottom of the ocean floor is still possible, in a different way Putting the Seamoth in the Moon pool is the cause of this I tried doing the same thing outside of the Moonpool to no avail, but it is 100% possible from the Moonpool. The moment you dock the Seamoth, and try to levitate at the belly entrance to the Moonpool, you will break the swimming mechanics. The only safe way to avoid this is to use to the ladder entrances, if you ever return to a recently docked Seamoth inside a Moonpool.
- Coral Shell Plates are indestructible
***Quick Note about Exosuit***: The Exosuit is only spawnable via Console Commands
***Adding to Vailingnickel09's post***: The scanner room is still broken somewhat, and the cameras take longer than usual to connect. The topography of the area does not consistently stay visible for me. A reloaded later, and I can no longer see the topography in the middle of the room.
- Camera clips inside the character's body, when facing upwards and swimming away from the surface: Video of the camera clipping through the character's body. Imagine the Y-axis of the XY-plane. When you face towards +Y and swim backwards towards -Y, you will clip the camera inside your body. Also, the character's left leg is twirling around in an unhuman-like movement in this position.
- Seamoth Modification station cannot be used
*** Possible workaround of lack of creatures fix***
*** Workaround of creatures fix ends here ***
*** Scanner room actually works, but it is a bit difficult to find the prompt detection to scan for materials ***
*** Scanner room info ends here***
*** Adding to REBELWOLF75's post*** Sounds like something is wrong with the prompt detection on a few of the crafted interactive devices. The same issue happens with the Mobile Vehicle Bay unit for me. You can climb on it at just about any angle (assuming you set it up via Right Hand command), but the prompt to pick it back up is gone/hidden. It is probably hidden somewhere around the Mobile Vehicle Bay, but I just push it around when it floats out of place instead.
- Dying near the lifepod spawns you inside with a glossy interior: Its not a serious problem . Simply leaving the lifepod and reentering will fix this issue, but I'll add it to the list

Overly Obsessed Predators: I don't think this has been reported yet but...
Stalkers are finally living up to their names.
And it's super weird and creepy.
Last night I went into the creepvine forest and one chased me all the way back to the life pod. I went inside and worked on whatever I was doing, came back out, and there was Stalky McStalkerson waiting on me. He chased me again so I stood my ground and fought, and after he took a hit from my knife he retreated. I went on with life and swam away, and didn't go back to the creepvine forest. I was in the safe shallows gathering limestone drops, turned around... And there it was. Again. I knifed it again, it ran and I busted out my seaglide and returned to my life pod. I more than outran it. I even turned and looked extensively before entering the life pod. It wasn't there. I went in, did some more work, came back out, and two of them spawned literally on my head when I surfaced for air behind the life pod. One left. The other attacked me. I ran but watched it and it followed me everywhere I went and was well out of its agro range. I watched it very closely but it didn't behave normally. It was following me like it was on a leisurely swim, not an attack run. I circled back to my life pod and again stood my ground. This time I killed it. I haven't had an issue since.... But wow. This was super stressful and kind of cool but I'm pretty sure it was a glitch.

Exosuit has visor issues, making it impossible to see: Ok so I spawned an exosuit to use on my one save cause why not and when I get in I can barely see anything outside of the glass because it is so misty or dense or whatever you want to call it but it can walk on foundations now which could not do before but I do not want to use it anymore because I can not see in it
***Quick Note about Exosuit***: The Exosuit is only spawnable via Console Commands
Left-hand and Use commands wrongly interacts with the game: And you can not assign the left hand to the left trigger because it still replaces the a button for EVERYTHING (except for getting out of vehicles that is still A) so if you leave it as A for both "use" and "left hand" then you can not use stuff like seamoth defense of the sonar or stuff like that. And the scanner room can scan stuff but you have to look at it a certain way for it to choose what to scan stuff and you still have to look and the seamoth modification terminal the a certain way too.

I've explained it in the thread I started titled Scanner in Scanner Room is sort of working. I would attach it here but I don't know how.

The repulsion/propulsion cannons you can make dents in the game world: This might not really be a bug, but I've noticed with the repulsion/propulsion cannons you can make dents in the game world. It hasn't caused an issue for me, but I know they removed the terraformer due to memory constraints in changing the world. I'm just pointing it out in case they intended to remove it, but it might just be something they put in intentionally so I may be wrong.
***possible workaround for blueprints*** I also tested out (per this patch) a freemode game where I only scanned fragment boxes (no fish, plants, materials, etc...) and not once did I have an issue completing any blueprint. It's worth testing out if people still have issues getting stuck at 3/3 fragments found. I also made sure to have room in my inventory just in case. Figured I'd throw it out there.

Frame rate issues : Game is MUCH improved since the latest patch. Much better frame rate but there are still some serious lag. Like when you are cruising along in the Seamoth and bang....a mountain materializes in front of you, or trying to find items and having to stop, wait for fish and items to spawn in. However, it's more than playable since the update.
I have a weird Cyclops issue where it looks like it's raining inside. Made me think there were leaks or something but maybe it's sunlight? Seems like a couple others have that as well.
My only complaint about the Cyclops is having to make a builder in the Cyclops? Not sure why the add-ons can't work like the other structures....anyways.
Building base portions near land causes the game to load terrain into the base, after a reload : The portion I can't make work is the scanner room. Anyone else having problems placing it? I try to put it on a platform...no go..seems to only want to be made on the ground. The first time it kind of auto dug a square trench so I thought that must be the way it works...then after reloading....the trench disappeared and I couldn't get inside anymore because the sand around it collapsed or merged into it.

Additionally, you have to literally sit and wait for ground objects to draw if you are looking for scanable items, etc. It really seems like the view distance has been drastically reduced with this patch, which seems related to this draw issue.

It doesn't happen while using the camera but after I back out and get back in the water, there they are, jumping on their trampoline's to the beat of my swimming.
My camera is showing those jittery beacons as well. Then, when I got into the water to swim, the beacons were bouncing to the movement of my character. It is very distracting if you have quite a few beacons in your view.
Video of the bug in action

To recreate build and power a scanner room, swim to nearby gasopod or stalker, notice lack of sounds.
Thank you! My biggest gripe lately, which has also been reported here, is that I couldn't hear most Monsters any more. I figured it was just a glitch that I was stuck with until a new patch...
However I tested it out, I got rid of my scanner room and checked, Reapers, Sand Sharks, Crab Squids, Reefbacks, and Sea Treaders ALL make their proper sounds now. Thank you very much! I don't really use the scanner room so for now this is great for me

Fish swim around in my seabase.
Some parts of my seabase get blocked up randomly and I can't get through those parts unless I reload my game.

SicknTwisted94 wrote: »Respawn glitch, lifepod had a take-off into space : Haven't seen this in the thread yet: I was playing survival when a stalker had me trapped in the kelp for a moment when I needed air. I used the fire extinguisher to ascend faster but drowned before that. When I respawned, I was glitched into the wall of the lifepod which then began to forever fly into the sky, to the point the planet didn't exist. Also, being able to see my body down the neck hole is very disturbing, and severely limits visibility when looking straight down.

As a result, I am reposting my Update 2.0 bug list thread.
Sorry to those that posted in my thread yesterday, because I didn't get a chance to read it
Yeah, it is pretty bad. Its even worse near the lifepod.
I like that the internal lights now work. But, the sunlight reflection is still penetrating solid objects. My cyclops is currently dark, with sunlight going through its hull
No suggested work-around works.
Not even the console commands?
I checked the fragments after the patch, and its working fine for me.
If you're having issues with that still, do you know how to pull up the Dev console? You have to press LB + RB + A (simultaneously), while playing, to activate it.
From there, you can enter:
Unlockall will give you every single blueprint in the game, so you don't have to worry about the issue for whatever save you use it in.
Its rare to see an Xbox One game allow its players to use the dev console
Stalkers are finally living up to their names.
And it's super weird and creepy.

This was super stressful and kind of cool but I'm pretty sure it was a glitch.
That was an issue pre-update as well. I even noticed that myself, especially in broad daylight. I think at night, they are supposed to have an increased aggro range. The night is their dominant-predator time of the day, since they have a lack of light on their bodies.
The only sure way to deal with them is to the death, if they are acting like an overly obsessed stalker. If you just let them bite you once, or they fail to bite you in a short time period (its possible to outmaneuver), they may leave you alone. Although, this would not work if you already harmed them beforehand. Sandsharks have the same behavior as well. It may be an AI issue, or an intended behavior
Side note: Love the new/updated creature sounds.
Same here, its pretty cool

You could copy the link and post it here, theres a chain icon right besides Emoji. Put the link in there and it'll create a hyperlink for you.
Or, you could create a hyperlink with text (a good way to limit how much characters it would take, cause URL links can be long). Unfortunately, you would have to know the code to do so.
[url= ] Insert URL after the equal sign, and the text goes here [/url]
Bracket locations are important
Like your thread I just linked here
Btw, nice find! I can't get mine to work, though. I managed to highlight something for a split second, but it is really difficult to even get it working reliably. I just can't find the sweet spot
EDIT: Updated thread to here, now for my vacation
Enjoy your vacation @Luffy490
Sounds like something is wrong with the prompt detection on alot of the interactive devices. The same issue happens with the Mobile Vehicle Bay unit for me. You can climb on it at just about any angle (assuming you set it up via Right Hand command), but the prompt to pick it back up is gone/hidden. It is probably hidden somewhere around the Mobile Vehicle Bay, but I just push it around when it floats out of place instead.
If I'm not mistaken, that HUD chip is supposed to be equipped on your character. It should act as a feedback device to your PDA, so you can search and obtain. It displays materials to your HUD, from the scanner room. If you can get the scanner room working, that is.
I can't really get the material list section working, so maybe someone will have better luck than I
My camera is showing those jittery beacons as well. Then, when I got into the water to swim, the beacons were bouncing to the movement of my character. It is very distracting if you have quite a few beacons in your view
