Hello everyone! I recently upgraded my computer with a solid state drive and put a fresh install of windows on it. I installed the Epic Games Launcher on it so i could install Subnautica on the SSD and finally set the game detail to "High". I had backed up my original save game files and so then put it in its proper place so i could continue playing. To be specific, i put the save folder called "slot0000" in the fallowing location C:\Users\Username\AppData\LocalLow\Unknown Worlds\Subnautica\Subnautica\SavedGames
What i found is if i start a new game after setting the graphic detail to high it will work just fine. But when i load my original game, it seems to ignore the high detail setting that i set in the menu prior to loading the game. Instead it is obviously still using medium detail setting, which is what i had to use before the SSD upgrade.
I suspect there is a file within the slot0000 save file itself that has graphic settings stored and is overriding what i set in the game menu. But i'm not sure. Does anyone know how to fix this? I would be very grateful... i have nearly 100 hours in this save game.

Now however, even when i do this, it is simply ignoring the graphics settings in the option menu no matter what, even when my old save game is not involved at all.
I am now wondering if this has nothing to do with my restored save game, and is maybe it's own problem. Can't find answers on the web.
If anyone can help me i would be grateful. I'm going to post this problem in the bug report forum.
Apparently there is a mod to remove this requirement. Here is a link to the post where i found this:

Look at the part of the post that says "Detail High - Blurry Textures Fix"
To be clear, I only have 4 gigs of ram. Also, i have absolutely no problem running the high detail textures. What was missing until recently was a solid state hard drive, which apparently makes a big big difference on the loading of Subnautica's textures. Online people have said that even high end computer stats won't run high detail settings without a SSD. I probably only ran into this problem where it was ignoring my graphic settings after my SSD upgrade because before i was intending to run it on low settings. I feel it was probably ignoring my settings the whole time, because when i first started playing, i did notice that switching between low and medium settings made no visual difference, but ignored it at the time. Clearly my 4 gigs of ram can run the high quality texture detail setting, so this ram check the game has is unneeded and obstructive. Probably why there is a mod to remove it.
Anyway i'm leaving this long detailed stuff here in case it helps anyone else.
Be well friends!
