Subnautica Version - 26516
Description - So let me preface by saying a friend gifted this to me over steam for christmas and for the last two hours I've been trying to get a new game to start. I went to experimental, I put the command line in, I reduced the video settings to minimal. Finally it loads up and the entire ocean is glitched out and purple. I then restarted with recommended video settings and started another new game, and got the exact same thing. This game has been at the top of my wishlist for about a year, and I want to do everything I can to avoid an awkward refund to the sender of the gift, but I am seriously almost there.
Reproduction steps - Start a new game.

1) Try verifying your Steam cache for Subnautica.
2) Try Updating your Graphics drivers from nvidia.com
3) Try switching to the 'experimental' version of Subnautica by goign to your Steam Library, right-click on Subnautica and click Properties. Then, hit the BETA Tab at the top of the menu, then in the drop-down box select 'Experimental' like this:
If all else fails, follow this troubleshooting guide: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=448862051
Done, no problems here.
Still purple.
GeForce Drivers are up todate at Version: 361.43 now.
Still purple.

I was already in experimental mode.
Ran through this guide. I realized from that guide that the -force-d3d9 forces directx9 so. I took that out.... and it looks like that fixed it. Which was weird, because that was what made it where I could play originally, but now there's no problem and its even loading faster. So. if anyone else has this problem it seems like that was it.
I really wanted to try out the stuff in exp but now I'm scared that when it finally gets pushed to stable its going to screw over my game and make everything pink.
I sent a bug report via F8 with screen shot, do the devs ever reply or respond to those?

You can use -force-d3d9 again!
