Thanks to Duncan and the threads from last night, you fucks convinced me to get subnautica.
What am I in for?
fun

Play it blind, don't google or use guides. Also don't be afraid to take risks, the spooks are worth it and the game doesn't punish you that much for dieing.

If you have VR, try VR
If not, turn off the lights and get cosy!
Exploring is more important than mass gathering resources. As having different types is more important than bulking just a few. The first time I played it, I tried to min max grab and craft like an autist. Bad idea, inventory is limited until you start to build a base. Take it slow
So apparently this game has an actual goal and isn't just meme survival crap.
What exactly is that goal?
>>383938805
Get off the planet.
>>383938805
I could maybe get into an infinitely generated pure survival mode though.

If you like swimming around picking bits of coral up for 60 hours, you'll love this!
Personally I'd rather spend my time talking to my family, or perhaps if escapism MUST be had, I'd watch 30 different films.

I find it quite a relaxing game to play and dip into.
Noguns
So what can I do about the massive FPS drops for no reason? I was swimming around then came to a place with red plants everywhere and suddenly my FPS is shit no matter where I go.

Is it installed on a typical HDD or a SSD?
When i got my SSD i dumped subnautica onto it and it was a literal night and day difference.
>>383939959
I have it on my SSHD.
>>383939854
Generally this >>383939959
But also generally OC-ing stuff helps too and giving Sub a higher priority in Task Manager
Optimization when
>>383942165
Never. The industry is fucked now that all the new blood are people from places with "game design" courses.

fixed
>>383937346
Disappointment.
Play in experimental, the game added a spook in safe zones.

This is how I feel, it's depressing knowing that modern devs look like pic related trash. It's also infuriating knowing that most of the need to keep upgrading GPUs is because these subhumans can't code and optimize for shit.
On one hand, graphics are barely pushing the boundaries anymore, on the other hand, games are getting giant bloated 4k texture packs when they can't even run at 1080 with a decent frame rate.
