Sup guys, my first thread here. Just a quick question -
Is there a patch for the first Subnautica on the way? I finished the game 3 times on the old version, wanted to start a 4th run, but the game's performance after the Little Big Update is so horrible that for me, it's unplayable. I'm getting severe fps drops on a decent PC on 1080p (i5 9400F, Rtx 2070, 16gb ram, Crucial SSD, 75hz monitor, all temps cool and stable). I know that the longer you play and build, the worse the performance gets, but I'm getting serious issues on a NEW game, even just swimming around without mining anything.
I already tried all the possible fixes I found on the net:
- permissions for the \ProgramData folder
- setting affinity via task manager
- Installing Performance Mod
- Verify steam game files
- Reinstall game
- DDU and reinstall gpu driver
However, some people with similar PC specs to mine claim they have no problems whatsoever. Is there a fix that I don't know of?
My problem occurs especially when being inside a seamoth, or swimming close to ship wrecks - on VSYNC enabled I'm getting drops from 75fps to as low as 40

This was my favourite game of all time, and since the update it is, atm, unplayable with the amount of bugs I'm seeing. Not to mention the FPS drops.
I was getting round 40-60 FPS on my i7-7700HQ - GTX 1060M and now I'm getting 10-30 FPS.
In the primary containment facility I'm at a constant 15 FPS using 20% CPU, 2.2 GB RAM (I have 16 GB) and 95-100% GPU.
As I wrote, it's a GTX 1060M. Not the fastest GPU, but it had no problem getting to 40-60 FPS before the little big update.
Subnautica has always been a horrible game for optimization, and the new update seems to be hammering that home.
All that aside, that's not the biggest problem. The big problem is all the bugs. There seem to be alot more of them aswell.
I've played through the game about 5-6 times, and have never seen this many before.
The PRAWN won't grapple on to alot of the ground. The PRAWN gets super stuck in the ground of the alien bases. When exiting the PRAWN you become super small, like you're crawling along the floor. And whole host of other smaller bugs.
Same here - multitude of bugs I have never seen before in this game.
About the performance... dude, i was able to play this game on FullHD, medium-high settings on a GTX 960m +6700HQ laptop before the update
In my PC rig (9400F + RTX2070) The game uses around 15-20% cpu, and around 50-60% gpu.
I'm not really mad about them trying to make the game better and messing that up.
They are aware of the problem, and at least they should add the last stable version to a separate branch on steam so people could play the bug-less version.
Where are the fixes? If they are aware of the problem, then why haven't they addressed it? And it's been total radio silence. I can't find a single official quote from a developer regarding these bugs. Have you seen any?
I've completed the game maybe a dozen times (12 days playtime / 27hr on below zero), picked it back up in the last few days (after a completion over Christmas) and I'm getting crashes to desktop every few minutes, which is a pain in the butt when you are trying to do another hardcore run. I ask if there's been a further patch as some textures look different - much more reflection on some surfaces like alien alloy and there's literally LOADS of stalker teeth dropping. I've always built a scanner room just to find teeth, but this play through I had 10 within the first half hour, literally coming across 3 at a time in the shallows without having to scour the vines. Frame rate is extremely poor with torch on, I think my PC is grunty enough for it (2700x / 16GB RAM / nvme install / 1080ti) and I'm not seeing problems with other apps at the moment.
Do hope the devs can spend some time to update us at least.
Make sure to send an f8 report, with as much detail as possible.
Do the Devs even read these forums, or do they just not care? There is no way, that I've been able to find, of getting direct contact to them.
it was opening a standing locker from a distant while holding the habitat builder, it would raise his hand but nothing appears at somepoint the hand are twisted lol
I have been playing the game for a couple of days now and have read this thread here.
I hope it is ok if I ask a similar question in this thread because I can't create a thread myself yet.
So is it normal that even with a high end setup I don't have high FPS?
I have this setup:
Graphics card: RTX 2080Ti 11GB
CPU: Ryzen 9 3900X 12x 3.80GHz
RAM: 32GB
Resolution: 2560x1440
Nevertheless, I only get an average of 40-60FPS, sometimes more.
In some biomes like the Kelp Forest or insiede the Aurora even below 30FPS.
Settings are currently set to high.
Is there anything I can do to boost the FPS, or is that so normal?
Thx for helping
I bought the game 2 times (one for me and one for my brother, who will probably never play it) to support this awesome game.
We all bought a game, alot of us during early access, with the expectation of getting a playable game in the end. This game is, atm, broken enough that you'd expect it to still be in early access. It's been out for over 5 years!
I had a look on youtube to find others with the same problems, and you can look at Gab Smolders' playthrough (fx. We finally meet - Subnautica [18]) and ChilledChaosGAME's playthrough (fx. TRAPPED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN! (Subnautica - Episode 11) and I'M IN LOVE WITH A SEA EMPEROR! (Subnautica - Episode 12) to see some of the problems people are having.
I have a similar setup and am getting the same FPS. The FPS drop is most noticeable in my base. Like you, I'm running the game at max settings and at a similar resolution.
I've noticed that my CPU (i9-9900k) is always working far harder than my GPU. I don't imagine that this should be the case.
I'm frustrated that the devs havent dealt with the issue and that there isn't a way to contact the devs (outside of the in-game problem reporter).
If you own the game on Steam, you will see that the "experimental" beta still gets updates almost every day. As always, we would like to bundle things up about once a month or so, get them tested, and then ship an update to all our platforms. That hasn't happened in a while because earlier this year we had to upgrade our game engine and that broke a bunch of different things on a bunch of different platforms. We've been working on fixing these new issues and we're getting closer to a release. The best you can do to help get the update out faster is to play the game on "experimental" and report any issues you find using the F8 feedback tool. I always appreciate a good bug report.
Thank you for the info. Very nice to hear, that you're still working on it.
You might consider putting something along the lines of what you just wrote, so that players know what's going on. Also, you are still linking to the Trello for development of Subnautica on your website. I can't see any activity on that for the past few years.
All we are asking for is a little information on what's going on with the game we all love.
Thank you again for writing back, and hopefully fixing this amazing game.
I'm playing Below Zero on experimental and I've been reporting the bugs found, not much experience into this but I try to help as I can't wait to enjoy the full game. You guys did an outstanding work with Subnautica and this is my form of thanking you for it. The part that you decided to change the story for Below Zero made me appreciate you even more (:
I think we can be more efficient if you would give us a brief list maybe, of what you fixed/added to the game and prevent us from moving blindly around the game and maybe even missing the things you're working on.
"I always appreciate a good bug report." how should that look?
Thanks, stay safe xD
When will there be discounts for PS4 and update?
So if you complain to the Ps store? Let them stop selling a buggy project.
