Oxygen depletes while portal loading

[TheTool]

Fix this please. Tired of dying from oxygen continuing to deplete while waiting on the game to load.

That's pretty garbage, yeah. I'm reminded of people dying before they loaded in because of it spawning them outside of their seamoths in the past.

It's no real answer to such buggy design. But one workaround is that the Prawn suit is able to walk through portals now.

For some confrimation, which portals are causing this issue? Only a few of them are actually in water. Or is it being more wonky than expected and draining air even if you use the portals that are indoors on dry land?

...He's using a portal. Portals cause loading screens.

That's not "Logging out" That's playing the game.

It's okay, kneejerk empty "Git gud" responses are a sickness that take time to overcome. But with hard work, you too can overcome this common internet affliction.

Twas the portal at the Emperor after getting the blueprint.
Tonight I went in the portal with 1 full minute. As the game loads the gun portal my hud queen still tells me "30 sec of ox left" then "10 sec of ox" blah, all while looking at a mezmerizing screen.
Just freeze the damn ox timer.
Sometimes the load is 3 seconds and sometimes the load is....well, longer than 1 minute.

Sounds about right for the current state of the game.

Your only option at the moment outside of console commands is to use the Prawn suit.

Remember to have a grapple hook either equipped, or stored in it's inventory for later to make leaving the alien fish tank via the top easier.

But If you use the PRAWN suit in a portal you can lose all your pings...

I still lost my signal walking through post patch, though maybe that was a fluke?

Also, you know. Can't use your pings if you die while trapped in loading screen limbo anyways.

Bugs upon bugs.

Save the game, quit, reload the save. Fixed... until you portal again while in a PRAWN suit.
Aren't Alpha builds fun?
