I spent about 5 to 10 minutes driving the sea moth around watching the terrain to see if I could notice any pop in issues with terrain and other than a few slightly choppy bits with framerate I didn't notice anything bad.Īll in all great job with this team, I'm glad y'all haven't forgotten about us console players. No immersion, I browsed Facebook.Īnyways after that it seems pretty great. Once it displayed a percentage it seemed to load up at a decently acceptable speed.
#SUBNAUTICA UPDATE UPDATE#
The game sat at the initial loading screen for what seemed to be about 5 minutes BEFORE it actually started to display any sort of percentages, I believe that this was already a thing before this update but today it seemed pretty long. I booted the game up to check out this update particularly because I was having major issues with the terrain not loading and swimming through blackness from areas like the blood kelp Forrest all the way back to safe shallows ?.Īnyways my first impression was not great at all. status messages get spammed to the loading screen and overlay each other (base hull strength, etc) At least some of the time, the terrain seems to be loaded well ahead of me, just not scenery/objects. It seemed as if there was no terrain, but it could have just been dark due to no light sources. I am not sure at the moment if the terrain is appearing faster than I am moving. Objects/ scenery (bones, geothermal vents, the brine river itself) are either not appearing or taking a long long time (not until I'm well past them, I have learnt that there are many caves hidden by the brine river). I simply tried piloting the seamoth back through the Lost River, but half of my screen was black for quite a lot of the time. Immediately after loading, I was at the Giant Cove Tree, and tried to get back to shallower waters. I could outrun it only sometimes (usually after playing for a while). I considered the map loading to be mostly fine previous to this update.
I can not drive anywhere in my seamoth because the scenery and objects do not appear for a long long long long time. I will have to wait for the next update to play it again. I just installed the update and I now consider the game unplayable.
