I'm so glad we are doing this. It's nice to be able to help some during this time of need!
-
I'm apologizing in advance for all the folks that emailed me and that I didn't respond to. I'm going to try to send this to many of them now!

Hey guys,
The Bones Update will go out in a few hours. It's already scheduled with Microsoft and we actually couldn't retract it if we wanted! It's going to ta… -
Yes basically it's a huge pain in the butt to release something on a console. We're not allowed to just release it, you have to apply for a "certification window" (which is often a week away), then you have to upload a build to them, fill out this t…
-
Even though passed certification, a horrible bug snuck through that they didn't catch. So we had to pull the build. It's a really difficult and extremely frustrating process for us as we're used to being able to ship when we want to. But with Micros…
-
This just in from Max: The Bones Update just passed Microsoft certification.
We're going to do a little more sanity checking on it today and schedule it for release HOPEFULLY for tomorrow. -
Yeah it's not an option for us "not to add content" and just optimize instead. PC/Steam is the most important storefront for us and we can't stop adding content there and if we put our finger in the dam we'd never recover.
If we separate… -
Wow, that's a bit surprising to me. Great to know.
I just chatted with Max and he mentioned that the game is now (internally at least) running at a fairly dependable 30 fps when you're not moving. Once you move, that's when it starts str… -
Our thoughts on this have become more clear now, as we've added more to the game and see how much work we still have to do on the game.
We are NOT going to be adding multiplayer of any kind to Subnautica. We would have to start over from… -
Thanks for the poll! That's actually really helpful.

Hey @MrClean83 - I haven't heard of that problem. Have you tried the hotfix?
I wonder if it's just taking a reallly long time to load? Maybe try leaving it f…Don't worry we won't quit.
Man we didn't think there would be any loss of save-games. We haven't forced a game restart on the PC not even once in a year and half of early access.You guys are soooo welcome! It's exciting for us to be releasing our first console game.To answer your question, there certainly seems to be some problem where not everyone is getting this update. This may or may not be a good thing as you can see
Our main guy Max has figured out and (we think), fixed the problem.
It's been sent off to Microsoft for certification and hotfixing, but it's unfortunately out of our hands at the moment. This process is new and quite difficult for us, b…Yeah this is a learning process for us. We've been working in the much-faster land of Steam for a long time. But also, we're new to console development which makes everything much trickier.
We've submitted the hotfix so we're hoping it w…Sorry about the problems here guys. It doesn't matter how much we work or test, we seem to always have some issues slip through. We had some bigger ones this time.
The hard part for us is that we're used to being able to patch very quick…Yep - we've sent a hotfix over to Microsoft. Not sure how long that will take.
I'm not sure if it fixes the sound issue or not. Egads. This is hard.Hey coldsteel,
Looks like not everyone is getting the update at the moment. Trying to figure out what's going on now.

in is the update out now Comment by Flayra July 2016Dang, we have some major issues with all this new content. We really need to fix them before we release it. We broke something with performance and the feedback widget doesn't work - those are the showstoppers.
So we're back to fixing th…Please read my post. It's not released yet and we're not sure when.Hmm, haven't heard of this one.
The only freezing I've seen is when the in-game "pause" menu is open for awhile. We'll take a look.I think there's something wrong with FMOD (sounds) in the XB1 version, but I can't figure out what it is.
I can't tell if the levels are off, or maybe if some sounds stop playing after awhile.Thanks for the great feedback.
We're on it.I'm getting this question a LOT.
In the land of video games (at least the way we make them), we never know the date of anything. We are working hard to get an update to you as quickly as we can. We were hoping to start testing last week,…Here is some reasoning about why we don't have more violent/damaging weapons in the game:
