Still can't play Subnautica and iT'S BEEN THREE MONTHS!

I have not been able to play Subnautica since the engine upgrade.
I love Subnautica so much, and it's driving me nuts that I am unable to play it.
I don't know how to make it work, . All I get is a black screen and an error message, which tells me to debug it sometimes, but it does nothing.
My computer is high-end and was able to play this game on experimental detail,but after the engine upgrade couldn't play. don't know why.
if someone can help me to play this game again, , I would greatly appreciate it.
please help,someone who love this game so much, please.

    1) Run a chkdsk on the drive that has Subnautica on it. See my signature if you need help with that.

    2) Verify your game files with Steam. There's a link in my signature for that as well.

    3) Does it give you crash log folders? Use the link in the first line of my signature below ▼ for uploading your saved game folder, and use that to upload the crash logs.

    I realize you probably shouldn't have to do any of that, but, things happen, so we're trying to eliminate anything that might have gotten messed up.

    Check disk, as in verify the filesystem has no errors.

    1) Run chkdsk on the drive that has Subnautica on it.

    2) Verify your game files with Steam (scroll down to the "Installation" section).

    3) Upload your saved game folder, including crash logs.

    Spoilers were made for a reason. Uninstall the game with IOBit Uninstaller to remove leftover files. Then use CCleaner to clean and fix your registry, these two things will make it like Subnautica was never on your HDD. Reinstall the game and enjoy. Still not working?

    If u really want to play that bad and none of this fixed your issue then u have two options. Contact devs for support bc we cant help u further. Or reinstall your OS because it only on your computer that this is occurring.

    @sabin77 I'm assuming your graphics drivers are already up to date? In Steam, go to Steam > Check for video driver updates. Worth a shot anyways, let me know if it does anything for you.

    Read this somewhere.
    In steam library, right click Subnautica, and select properties.
    On the General tab, click Set Launch Options...
    Paste this into the box:

    -window-mode exclusive

    Click OK, then close.

    FYI , adding Steam launch option "-window-mode exclusive " did not improve my crashing.

    I didn't think it would help everyone :) It was something to do with the Unity engine. It didn't help me at the time, but it didn't do any harm either so it remained. The word 'engine' in the original post suddenly made me think of it!

    That said I've not had a crash for a couple of weeks and I haven't had the problem of world not loading either, so I think the devs have fixed something recently that caused at least some of the problems.
