It does include some optimizations, but we want to hear what people think how the game is now running for them.
Turn the resolution down. I turned it to 1000x800 or something and it runs WAY better.
I like my res in 16:9
Hmm, sounded funnier in my head...
Everything sounds funnier, in YER head.
I tried next to use the ATP portal to return to the Planetary Defense Array and re-travel from the Lifepod 2 entry point, but that only made things worse. All of the forcefields from both the ATP and PDA were intact, but none of the key spawns were apparently reset. In fact as I tried navigating the caves below for a Purple Key, the terrain was discolored and craggy-deformed... it was near-impossible to navigate.
I then tried to just brute force my way back to my base and try the DGR path to the Lost River, but the corruption was getting worse. As I followed the beacon to my GR base, I noticed that the terrain failed to load multiple times. The area would load "squares" of terrain at a time, but most times it wouldn't load properly until I was well past the 'center' of the square. When I arrived at my beacon I was sad to see that not only had the terrain failed to load, but outside of my beacon ping my base and belongings did not exist anymore either. Reloading and warping via console commands just caused the same thing to happen, it's like nothing existed anymore in the GR/DGR... At this point I finally gave up, exited the game and deleted the save folder completely from the hard drive.
I realize the game is still in early access, and I'm not really complaining about things breaking between updates - for all I know it had to do with the save file originally being Experimental then downgraded to Stable manually (due to graphic issues in Exp at the time). But it's really frustrating to have to start over again after over thirty hours of game time for that particular save. And I'm aware I could console-command my way back through progress again, but even with doing that I just don't particularly care to start over yet again on a fresh save and let my previous progress be for naught.
If you can zip up your saved game files which are having the issue for download, it would be appreciated.
They live in:
They are in a folder called 'slot00XX' (XX being a number). You can identify your saved game via the thumbnail in the folder. Zip up the folder and upload it somewhere like Google Drive, and post the link. It will be very helpful thanks.
Every once in awhile mine just hops to another spot on the screen while I'm playing the game.
It's not doing it with any other game I play or in general use of my rig.
I actually ended up deleting that savegame folder, but I will remember to save them in the future. But I don't think it would have mattered much in this case, because the savegame folder was very strange as opposed to its normal behavior. I was curious as to how large the file was before deleting it (and I always delete the folder before starting over... I'm weird in that I always want my savefile stored in slot0000 - simply renaming it makes it disappear from the loading screen).
So anyways I right-clicked, hit Properties and checked the file size... only 147K! I double-checked inside the folder and there were only 4 files listed: gameinfo.json global-objects.bin, scene-objects.bin and screenshot.jpg. The various batch-objects files were gone as well; the CellsCachefolder was there but there were no baked-batch-cells inside it (it was empty). This might explain the reason why my game world was either corrupted or failed to load at all, or maybe why some of the triggers like the forcefields were back on again.
Nonetheless, I have restarted again in Stable mode! I'll make sure to back up the savegame folder at points, and also if I feel the need to convert between the two builds. Thanks again to all of the developers for your continued patience and support!
How much does this update improves the performance on xbox?
Did it come to XBone? I thought it was just PC.
Yep, just the STEAM PC version for this update so far.
For the first time EVER I was able to swim quite smoothly through the shroom forest with only a single 15 FPS hiccup during the initial area approach. I even built a medium sized base there and the frame rate is a steady 45 in the denser areas and goes up to 60 (which is my set limit) at the biome's edges. In earlier game versions I could never get my FPS there above 20, even with just my character swimming there, no base, no seamoth, etc.
I posted this in another thread, but im going to post it here also. (Is that ok?)
I do wish for this game to be pushed back enough to allow the developers to polish the game and completely optimize it, and to allow them to finish things that are already planned, instead of forgetting about them, putting them for later, or in the backlog. It seems to me that they really shouldn't aim for the current release date, but that is just me. I agree with everybody's points here. I am not trying to push the developers or anything, they can do whatever they wish; as it is their game, but a game that has been worked on for years can be ruined by an early release. I also saw @scifiwriterguy post that concept earlier in his longer post.
Last thing, another concern of mine is definitely optimization and making the game run smoother. I am fairly confident that the developers can get it running very smoothly in time, for the most part. The release date is coming up so SOON, and I am just crossing my fingers for everything to be done in time. I really want Subnautica to be a massive success and for millions to be able to experience and love this game, just as we all do!
(I wish this was animated)
Yes the current release date is the end of October and December for xbox
It's not. I haven't been able to get Subnautica to stay running for more than 90 seconds - 2 minutes (new game or old save), since Cuddlefish dropped. Crash to desktop 100% of the time new terrain loads (you move more than a meter or two from your spawn point or leave your lifepod at all other than to stand on top). You broke something serious, and there are other folks in the Bug Forums on Steam with similar problems.
And that's after verifying / deleting cache, reinstalling, etc. And forcing DX9, without which the game never loaded. Old Win7 machines that don't meet the recommended just can't play anymore, now? Would be nice if you updated the minimum specs, then... and maybe a refund. Just saying.
I'm not sure I understand...
If your rig just barely and/or didn't meet the requirements before now, then why did you purchase the game to begin with?
That's like knowingly buying an empty box of cereal from the store, then complaining when you get home that there's nothing in the box.
smh
@orobouros
Old Win 7 machine? Make sure that's updated, especially with you having to force DX9 to load -- older version of Win 7 didn't have DX11, which the game normally runs on. Update Windows. Update your graphics drivers. Try running without force DX9. Post back either way.
