Lag/FPS drop fix?
I love this game, I'm on 31hours but it has become unplayeble now due to lag and fps drop after a few minutes.. I've read forum posts ect. from a year back and the issue still persists? Is there any workaround other than starting over? My savegame file i around 2.32 GB so thats probably the reason why.. I have never used the terraformer tool.
If anyone has a fix to this issue, please share! I would love to continue playing on my saved game.

one of the new ways to improve the FPS is to go in to your game files and delete
BAKED-BATCH-CELLS-14-18-15.BIN
delete only THIS file, none others, just this. and the FPS will improve, ive done it and it works.

To add to this, the files are located in Subnautica(go to properties for the game in steam and click local files)>SNAppData>SaveGames>slot????(whichever save you're trying to fix>Cells Cache

These files contain the data for things you've harvested, but not what you've placed. Try deleting the file he mentioned and if that doesn't fix it, try deleting some others until it works or just delete them all. This will reset all of the collected items in the game but leave pretty much everything else untouched.

Deleting that file and all the large files didn't fix it for me, so I had to just delete them all to get it working again.

Edit for if you delete all the files: Just checked and the precursor locks and keys are reset, but the teleporter is still active. So you can redo that. Or not. Seems optional at this point.

Removing the one file did nothing - I took every .bin file and moved them, to another location for backup. It seems like this is working so thank you!.
Although I'm abit curious to what these files does exactly? I still have all my harvested materials - so what do you mean when you say its "data for things i've harvested" ? What is deleted from my savegame when moving/deleting these .bin files?

If you look around the safe shallows or somewhere else that you're sure you've harvested almost everything from, it's all back. The limestone, sandstone, scrap metal, quartz, salt, creepvine seed clusters, blueprint fragments, etc. All the non-renewable resources are back. PDAs that you gathered also seem to be back, but don't give you anything extra from collecting them again.

I noticed somewhat of a drawback in that it also deletes your waterproof lockers, but not beacons, mobile vehicle bay or anything from your base.

There's also the CompiledOctreesCache folder which you can delete the files out of, but it's unlikely to cause lag issues and is terrain deformation from the terraforming tool and exploding crash fish and things like that. Devs said that it would only effect anything if they were to get corrupted.

Wa-wa-wa-waaait. Lemme get this fockin straight: so you say that subnautica save system is SO ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up, that one can't actually play if one scavenges half the world? How focked up is thae?! And they are going for v1.0 with that?!

Yuppers. Oh, and shhhhhhh.... careful not to say this too loud or you will get 50 lashes because "IT'S EARLY ACCESS SO YOU SHOULD BE HAPPY WITH PAYING A GOOD AMOUNT OF MONEY FOR SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T WORK!!!!"

14-18-15? This sounds like you suggested a lifepod 5 random spawn point, but there are other random spawn points.

And they are going for v1.0 with that?!
Probably not, they haven't been on a bug-fixing binge at all, the backlog is quite long.

They're still making content, then they'll do optimisation and lastly bug fixes.

I used to crash rather frequently, but that stopped a couple updates ago. Now I get occasional lag but never crash at all. But I've yet to play Voices of the Deep.

Cache cleaning has been mandatory for more then a year... a single visit to official forums would have you do it on autopilot. Hell there are even automated ways of doing it...

Speaking of horrid saving system. Around end of december I found a duping glitch that multiplied specific containers. Accidentaly ended up with a save that took 20 minutes to load... fixing that mess and figuring it out was so fun... not really. Since once that container is accessed by game you go into 1 frame per about 4 minutes mode.
