Bought the game somewhere last week.
Lost 4 hours of progress because the game refuses to save. My current game is now "stuck" as in it never will save again, sometimes i get the hash error, sometimes i dont get the hash error, but it even then it wont save. Ive gotten to "Tier 2" and finished the cyclops sub marine and water purifier, it seemed to have happened after that. This means i have to start all over (+30 hours) which i wont do, or never play another game on my PS4 until im done with Subnautica which i also wont do. Ive been reading online this problem has existed for more then a year! It seems support for consoles has been completly dropped.
After supporting NS2 back in the day this is a kick in the balls. I can live with the low framerates and pop-ins, clipping bugs, etc. The PS4 is ancient, those are no problem for me, but not being able to save is a death sentence for the game.
Ill try to get a refund bc its a non working product but bc of the hours played i probably wont get it.

I have about 6 big lockers full of crap. Ive never been to lost river, i have been to the Jellyshroom cave.
It's buggy af and tbh punching rocks and scurrying around like a mouse gets old.
Its not the console thats the issue here its that the devs didnt optimize it for console and rushed things. Then promptly abandoned console users
The same story for me.
I'll give another try with a new game and copying every time the last successful save to USB stick. A quite annoying thing, but nothing else could help now.
It's a pity that dev. team abandoned this fatal issue.
I have a wife and kids so my time playing video games is limited as it is. I'm super disappointed that I've wasted my time on this game. I'm also extremely angry that I spent my money on this game and could only play it for about three weeks.
I guess I found one good point for saving - it's around the south beach of the main island (about 850m to north from life-pod). You need to get outside of your Seamoth (if you're using it) and stand on ground. In that way you'll be far enough from Warpers, your base, Aurora, and all other stuff that can break a saving process (I'm still not sure as for what exactly causes the fail).
P.S. You can also try one work-around that sometimes works well - it's a death and respawn.

Will try this later today thanks! Already tried removing power cell from Seamoth and batteries from charger posted in other threads (did not work) and all this happened after visiting 900 meter alien base and scanning the sea dragon remains in base and on floor. Once back out and back to base the error came for the first time and did not go away no matter what I tried. (Saving in life pod, on islands away from bases and vehicles does not make a difference as it did for some others).
I thought the location of the save was irrelevant, that the save will be corrupted the more data i.e. bases, vehicles, etc it tries to save regardless of where you are on the map
I found that if I went to the life raft where you start, and went up and down the ladder a couple of time, and finally looked at the wrecked ship Aurora, I have been able to save.
I have checked today and Update 1.12 is NOT available in Denmark
1.) Biggest thing for me is I have to drop or box every item including what I'm wearing to go through my PDA info otherwise it will show me the item list but you can't go to next page pushing R1 or L1. It just drops your items or does nothing. When I'm building a habitat I can only use the 1st page so with no way of being able to scroll through every piece I could make I have no way of progressing through the game. If I knew it was like this i would've never bought this and it's a shame cause I love the game but will these menu issues be fixed?
2.) Other ones are annoying glitches like seamoth gets stuck places and goes invisible, you go to main menu and reload save and it has a black screen. I also can't use the terminals on the aurora to enter codes. I am frustrated and don't know what to do.
Hi there, was wondering if you changed the control scheme? I did and had to use other buttons to go through the menus. For example I had to use X to type in terminal codes.
It's hard to say. What can be objectively said is that the support of the console versions from UW has been sub-part and frustrating. There have been many improvement and bugfixes, but also a lot of regressions. One of the best times to play it on PS4 was in the first half of 2019, afterwards several other bugs were introduced such as graphical z-fighting (which was left unpatched for almost a year !).
Lately a major unity engine update has been backported to the console versions, which comes from the current work on the console versions of Below Zero. This has improved a lot the terrain streaming performance, but also introduced game breaking bugs. I believe most of them are fixed now... so paradoxically, it might be a good time to play the game currently. I hope that other updates to the SN engine will be backported from BZ. This is our best hope for improvement.
the game stuck 80% loading
you will fix the game or not
now i heat the game because of the game developer
Scanner room only has 5 items in the list to scan. How do I fix this?
