in Subnautica Bug Reporting
Subnautica Version - 40026 Oct-2016
Description - PDA screen is up, but blank and cannot be put away. Happened while trying to access bioreactor with a fish in hand. Is not tied to proximity to bioreactor and teleporting away via console commands does nothing. Fixed by quit to menu and reloading, but the bioreactor poofed the fish.
Reproduction steps - (This may not be 100% reproducible, but this is what happened leading up to it)
  1. Took a reginald from alien containment tank in base.
  2. Walked down to bioreactor room (down 3 floors of ladders)
  3. Clicked on bioreactor with reginald in hand, PDA interface came up but was blank.

    This happens to me every time I access the bioreactor. I typically go empty-handed though. Since it started happening it happens every time, definitely reproducible on my end.

    Is it because you're not close enough to the bioreactor to be using it, but you somehow managed to glitch and open the PDA anyways? That happens a lot to me with lockers, the fix is to walk close enough using WASD and then click to open it again.

    Not for me. I always run straight into it until I can't go any further [It's at the end of a very long hallway/series of rooms]. Once the blank pda is up, nothing works I can move a few steps in any direction but I can't leave the room, can't put it down, and can't access one of the quick access items. The only button that works is Esc.

    I have the very same issue, but it occurs when I try to access the storage in my lifepod. The blank PDA gets stuck in my face, and I can't get it to go away unless I quit and come back. The camera snaps back to center if I try to look away. I can open the fabricator menu, but it won't let me craft anything (all items are greyed out, despite my inventory items).

    EDIT: I should probably mention that I am running Subnautica Early Develoupment Build version 42313 Dec-2016.

    I can't seem to reproduce it myself, stable build, castles and coffee update. Is it happening every time you access the particular container? Does deconstructing and reconstructing the container help? (obviously not available for Razwerkz's lifepod storage) Any other info that you can give is helpful; age of save, how full container is, etc.
