I play on PS4 and ever since the latest update I've started having a lot of bugs that've made the game unbeatable.
Recently I saved my game after finishing a base. I got the same error message that many other people had gotten but I ignored it since the game always saved anyway. However when I started again all my bases and vehicles were gone. Even the mobile vehicle bay and beacons I had put down were gone. I still had all the blue-prints, materials, and gear that I had on me when I last saved (ultra high-capacity tank, rebreather etc.) but I was essentially back to square one. I tried making a new base and saving/quitting again but this one vanished too. Everything I make disappears when I load the game again.
In addition to all this I've now got a blank white screenshot on the PDA that I can't delete and a bunch of plants are just floating in the middle of the shallows now. This is the second save file I've lost. The fist became un-winnable after the Quarantine Platform disappeared permanently and I couldn't disable the big gun (and then all the water vanished and the game crashed).
I've tried everything I can think of fix this from restarting the console and deleting and re-downloading the game. I really don't wanna give up on Subnautica but I'm at my wits end. Hoping this gets fixed so others don't lose everything too.
Sorry for the bad picture quality

Also every beacon except for 1 camera drone and the lifepot is gone
Please fix this, because like that this game is not playable anymore!
My save file still shows cyclops and prawn.
Basically if this isn't fixed I'll never play the game again or buy another game from these guys - losing 30 hours progress isn't worth it.
Think it started after the latest update but tbh that's when I started playing as previously it was too buggy to play properly on ps4.
This time around ive spent 46 hours in the game, had bases in most biomes as well as all vehicles fully upgraded.
Issue started off with the saving error message referencing cache and screenshots, then I loaded up my save yesterday to find the world had reset with everything I'd built/created gone. I could probably just continue to finish the story and get all achievements but it doesn't save anything I create now on that save, so the story progress I've made so far on that save is pretty much screwed.
If they can fix the bug and retrieve my created things I'll definitely continue playing, but judging by other posts on this forum I expect I would have to start a new game.
Overall this could be such an amazing game, but it's just so riddled with bugs I find it hard to recommend to people, and considering it's been out for ages now the fact these things are still happening is just disappointing and makes me reluctant to purchase Below Zero.
If the game was still in early access it would be annoying but acceptable, but to release a full game on console and Steam that deletes user progress and completely breaks the game after over 30+ hours is just disappointing. Shame because the concept, world design, music and gameplay is brilliant.
The sea life I hatched from eggs and released around my main bases are all still there as are all of my blueprints but everything else is gone apart from what I have stored in my personal inventory.
I love this game but i'm done starting from scratch every time I go to play it.
I'll watch this space for when it's fixed, until then i'm done playing
Your game saves are likely corrupted and doubt anyone can fix that. You have to restart and avoid building a lot of stuff. Oh and apply pigs blood to your console periodically as a offering to the subnautica gods.
2. No everythings gone and ain't coming back
3. Your choice but its ill advised
4. You can try but doubtful looks like they ripped us off
Sorry this couldve been such a great game but it's riddled with bugs, bugs that have gone on since release and likely will never be fixed. My condolences I don't say any of this with joy it's a shame that this game has been hampered by so many bugs. If it ran halfway decently and had a actual combat system couldve been one of the best games of all time but sadly it's garbage in its current incarnation.
They should indeed revert the patch as it was playable in the past
Played 100's of games over 30 years, this is the first game ive encoutered that cant save! Theyve done what all developers before them couldnt do, rockstars indeed.
I have a suggestion to make. As it seems difficult for the dev to make sure my beautifull base will be back, I suggest they give us the tools. If it's possible to download a pretty good base, we could take all the materials and build back ours where we want. For exemple, I spent hours to make a gigantic aquarium, just to have fun with my son. I don't want to be rude, but he cried when everything vanished...
So If dev give us the tools, I'll be ok to craft again a base, and all the vehicules which were very close to be pimped at their highest level.
