    @Obraxis Hi, I was wondering, will we need to restart our saves when this update releases or will the update merge with current saves? Please let me know, as I really want to play but don't want to put hours into a save just to have to restart next week.

    Make sure you leave it somewhere safe. When Markiplier updated to Silent running the first time he loaded in his Cyclops had abit of random damage. If that happens somewhere unsafe....yah.

    @Obraxis No problem, sorry if I sounded rude or impatient, wasn't my intention and been so busy I hadn't realized it was the weekend already. Was more or less trying to confirm that info the other guy posted. Anyhow, sorry you guys are having trouble with the update, that's a bummer. I'm completely confident you guys will fix it soon though. Thanks again for all your hard work! And please do enjoy your days off, I know how precious down time is.

    Alright, I have all the Cyclops fragments and materials needed to build it. All that's left now is to wait for the update and I can build a new sub!!! Dive Dive Dive!!!!

    Probably you will need to create a new game, though. Or that would be a good idea, anyway.

    Could be a week or two. They have to get this graphics glitch ironed out, which I'm not sure they've done yet, then submit the build to Microsoft for their certification process again. Once that's done they go through another round of their own internal testing, then they can release.

    I would find something else to do in the meantime and check back in a week or so. c.c

    I'm just curious, not angry or trolling...

    But why do they do the more thorough round of testing after it passes the Microsoft test? If it's a bug they are capable of finding themselves why isn't it found before sending it out for cert?

    I'm patiently waiting for a fantastic game like the rest of you, but I'm learning alot about game development here and it's a question I've had for a while and asking these questions is as good a way of killing time as any other.

    They've already fixed the graphics issue, now they're just waiting to recertify. Probably can't submit till Tuesday cause of labor day though, then internal tests. We may get it this week though. Also I asked and Obraxis said we won't have to restart our saves. Seems pretty sure about it too.

    You know, I'm really not sure about that one. As much as I like to act like I know what I'm talking about, I'm still not a developer myself. Some parts of the process are as yet mysterious to me.

    At a guess, though, I'd say it's just one more round of testing, just to be sure. Not necessarily more thorough testing. idk for sure, though.

    Not sure myself here, but I do know that this glitch IIRC only appeared when the update was transferred to a retail XB1 (vs the more powerful (IIRC) development XB1 console that they develop and test internally on before sending to MS for cert). Thus, I would hazard a guess that after it passes MS cert, it can be manually applied to a retail box for final testing (whereas before, since it wasn't certified by MS, it could only run on a development XB1). So the final round of testing after cert is to be certain it will run on a normal player XB1.

    Don't take that as gospel unless a dev confirms though.

    I'm pretty sure your right about this, I imagine they're not even aloud to put it on a retail Xbox before it's passed MS cert. Just how they protect their multi billion dollar industry!

    Oh, so that's why I there wasn't an update for Subnautica
  • LaughingJackLaughingJack Join Date: 2017-09-06 Member: 232832Members
    Alright, I'm certain I sound like a broken record in all of this, but, where's the full release update? I'm starting to get upset from the frame rate always dropping, and the next screen to essentially load up with the "next best thing to see". I don't want my friends or myself getting more spooked from seeing nothing but a Stalker and some Creepvine on screen for about ten seconds too long, due tothat being how long the frame has dropped for its own reasons. It's like a mehanical cat toy, if the comparison hasn't been made. Fun, one second, broken within minutes.

    Where do you get that? From my understanding they're just waiting for recertification and internal testing, which could happen this week. To clarify, if this seems rude or controversial, that's not my intention. Just wondering if you saw info I missed? B)

    @londonsmart In case it wasn't answered for you yet, Obraxis is one of the Developers of Subnautica and often the one who engages with the community about the current state of the game. Any post from him is credible info.

    Well... We do now live on the back of a Reefback. Which is in fact totally credible. As shown by the picture taken from orbit by the man himself. I rest my case 26.gif
