Game Crashes More Often The Longer I Play

WhiteRoseWhiteRose Join Date: 2016-12-27 Member: 225537Members
When i first made my world on Subnautica it was smooth sailing but hours later the game started to get some frame drops. Fast forward about 5 more hours into my game and im getting absolutely huge frame drops every couple of seconds that sometimes even freeze my whole game for what has been up to 20 seconds until i can move again. I am now about 23 or so hours into my world and my game is crashing every few minutes. I've tried to look this problem up and have not found any solutions. My PC should be able to run the game. I have a Nvidia GTX 970 so graphics shouldn't be a problem

    I am having the exact same problem. I have been looking for a grappling hook attachment for the Prawn so I have been looking in the biome under the floating island. Whenever I get near that area the game has a major heart attack that looks like its trying to load everything then crashes.

    Same here. The more I play, the more crash I've got. I run the game with a MSI 1080GTX so, not from my GPU. It's start to become impossible for me to play anymore..

    All of you, ▼ see my sig, clear your cache.

    :/ Not much else to do but wait for the streaming code re-factor, and terraforming removal.

    Well. If you have an SSD, be sure you've got Subnautica on it. That does help. You can move Subnautica to the SSD if it isn't already there, link is in my sig for instructions.

    Runnong on an SSD here, and while the game is playable, this problem is still getting decidedly annoying.

    Just to make sure I'm understanding this, "clearing your cache" is basically resetting the entire world to an untouched state except for specific chunks that you define (so you don't lose your base/craft/etc), right? All items, scannables, whatever, get dropped back into the world? Because the lag is primarily from the game tracking what items you've picked up and aren't there anymore. How do other games handle this?

    I have the same issue as the OP. I certainly have more than the recommended requirements to play the game. Clearing the cache does nothing to alleviate the proplem. I have SN installed on a SSD.

    Eh, it resets everything, but only the terrain (resources that you've picked up are part of that, but not what they unlocked, if they unlocked something).

    The reason you exclude your base chunks is because of the terrain resetting to default. But you can just spawn a terraformer and clear that up afterwards if you need to reset around your base as well.

    All of your progress, unlocks, all of that is kept. Only terrain and resources are reset.

    EDIT: Terrain resources. Your lockers and inventory are untouched.

    Alright, thanks. I only have a small base built, so I think I'm just going to deconstruct anything expensive, back up the save, and wipe it all clean to rebuild. Don't think there's any terrain deformations I care about.

    I also just started experiencing this problem, I'm going to try to clear my cache but I wanted to post the bug reports first but i cant figure out how.
