Regarding poor visuals & lag, something to try.

Frustrated

NOTE this is NOT about the crashes!

I've been playing this game for a while, and the poor graphics (almost running into terrain before it renders properly) and lag seems to be MUCH worse in the seamoth. I've rebuilt the seamoth eight times now. Each time a new seamoth makes it nice and smooth(ish) again. There is like a 5ft lag area around the seamoth when I exit it into the ocean. After that I swim lag free...

Sadly today when I tried, I can no longer get the MVB to build a seamoth despite having all the ingredients.

Upgrading to a nVidia 1060 and putting Subnautica on a SSD doesn't help either. I played originally on stable until Oct update when it went to experimental. Current version 40919.

Maybe people with lag can say if they get any lag just swimming about, or just seamoth?

Does making a new seamoth help?


The devs have my save game already and a few crash reports as well.

Back up your saved game folder, then clear the cache using the guide in my sig, and post back with if it helps or not. I'm curious if it's just the Seamoth itself or a combination of the Seamoth and the existing terrain lag.

As other have tried and it works, I don't see the point of clearing the cache the lag comes back it seems, and doesn't answer the question of the seamoth somehow being involved.

Swim / seaglide = little or no lag
Seamoth = horrendous lag

I'm curious if the Seamoth becomes playable with a cache clean, and to what extent. You don't have to satisfy my curiosity though. xD
