Hello Subnauts,

Our fourth hotfix for Subnautica 2 just arrived. We’ve fixed some progression issues, water currents appearing in bases, and the FOV slider not showing on Xbox.

We continue to monitor community feedback, so please keep reporting any bugs or issues via in-game feedback or on our support site.

The full list of changes in today’s hotfix is below.

Fixed Angel Combs not opening for some players, blocking progression
Fixed water currents appearing in player bases, affecting movement, getting stuck, or being unable to build or expand bases
Fixed FOV slider not showing on Xbox
Fixed two low-volume crashes
- Crash on Xbox when trying to join a session invite
- Crash related to creature spawn

A reminder: If you play Subnautica 2 with mods, please temporarily disable, remove, or uninstall them before launching the game following the hotfix. Community mods will not be updated for compatibility with the latest hotfix, and may cause crashes or other unexpected behavior on launch. Once the mod creators have updated their content, you can re-enable and reinstall your mods.

This hotfix may take some time to roll out worldwide and will be available on Xbox once it has cleared certification.

Keep diving!
