As most of you on the PS4 or PS4 Pro (like myself) know, we have a slowly growing framerate problem as you progress thru the game. I wanted to make a thread so we can hopefully remedy this IF possible. If anyone has any success in reducing the stutter please share with us.
I have tried a couple things but no success.
1. Rebuild Database, I tried this and it felt like it didnt do anything
2. Avoid building certain structures (This one is currently still ongoing, I havent found any specific building but the framerate drops when I get closer to my home base)
Please share any info you might think be helpful in finding exactly whats going on here

To delete PS4 cache
1. Turn off Playstation 4. Wait until it is completely off. Do not put into rest mode
2. Unplug PS4 from electrical outlet for at least 30 seconds
3. Plug in PS4 and start up
4. Cache will be cleared
I did find that flood lights significantly increase frame rate around your base. So if you have any form of artificial lights that you built around your base deconstruct them. This will help
Thank you, but I don't have any artificial lights around my base
Not sure how to do this, but I also have a PS4 with framerate issues with a medium sized base. I could try to send a video but i think i need a better expleination on how/where to send and capture video on PS4.
Yep. I had to build my base as small as possible, and couldn't use a moonpool in order to keep the FPS in respectable limits. (I'm using a PS4). It doesn't matter though, their save glitch "feature" reverted me back hours, so it's like I had never built it at all!
I can try this today.can i make a Sample video with the Feedback option in this game?
Unfortunately no, no video but if you can get a nice view of the base that is better than nothing(it will send us a screen capture).
Feedback is split in 2 messages.starts with madsauce ?
I've got them, thank you. I also got two from other people yesterday and today so thanks there too.
I’m fine with a minimum of 20 FPS as I am used to it on my laptop.
I originally held off at first too from people warning others about its “unplayable gamebreaking issues” but few weeks back I had too strong of a survival game itch, so I went for it... and only regret I have is not having bought it sooner. The game is perfectly playable and not broken, PSNPROFILES site I frequent shows that 20 percent of registered members who own Subnautica have earned the platinum, which is really high considering it’s a 60 plus hour game to plat.
NOW REGARDING THE PS4 PERFORMANCE ISSUES:
Reading thru forums like these, it sort of gives you the impression that these issues are more frequent and gamebreaking than they really are. Now none of them are untrue, (except the save glitch now, as that one has been patched since) I’m currently 80 hours in, and after tons of experimenting and researching this topic online i’ve figured out ways to MINIMIZE the frame rate drops.
TIPS TO MINIMIZE FRAMERATE (you don’t have to worry as much until toward endgame):
- Don’t get too carried away with BASEBUILDING. Have one main base with everything you need, and any others serving as a sort of small but efficient pit stop. (Like with only a scanner room and one room with a garden). Definitely only have ONE MOONPOOL TOTAL, they seem to be the biggest memory hog.
- LIMIT GARDEN SIZE just the essentials, like for crafting or eating only.
- LIMIT LIGHTS, I’d actually recommend no lights.
- DON’T DROP ITEMS recklessly everywhere. Limit if you can. The game remembers all inventory items forever wherever you dropped them. While a cool feature for sure, it comes with a price. Memory space. So try and limit this if you can.
- REMEMBER WHERE YOU DIE, especially if you die frequently within the same area since the loot you lost when you died will be at that spot from there on.
- I only read about this one, there are certain spots such as the alien vents that will cook the fish if they get too close. Which after turning into inventory would follow the rule of never disappearing. One guy had a picture of hundreds under the vent of rotten cooked fish that were tanking his framerate. I believe it was cause he built a base near a vent and they collected overtime.
I’m pretty sure there’s more, but will edit at a later time when I have time
