Been having weird stuff happen.

[Master Green Fox]

Ok, so since the Ghost Leviathan update odd stuff has been happeneing to my old save that I loaded up. First off I suspect this is all supposed to happen but at the same time some of it is just subtle enough that I'm not sure if it is supposed to happen.

First thing happened at my base just next to the Sea Treader's path while I was on my Cyclops and I suddenly started seeing funny lights and lines in my vision. I quickly realized it was in the shape of the ghost leviathan's face and it questioned what I was before fading away.

Super disconcerning considering I wasn't even in the boneyard yet and had never gotten down there yet. I was still trying to get the base in working order.

Second thing is that I keep getting radio messages that show up in partial webdings and what little I understand of it sounds like something is plotting to kill me that is clearly alien.
Fun stuff.

And finally the third and most disconcerning thing is that my Cyclops AI has started acting funny as well. It has been saying weird things upon bording it instead of it's usual "Welcome abord captain". Instead it sometimes spews randome garbled alien gibberish that sometimes has a few telligible words. Most of it seems to revolve around tracking the subject or some such and one of the lines was "not a squid" I think?

I don't know but when my stuff is getting messed with I start to worry and the cyclops thing is where I decided to start asking if this is normal as of the new update? I don't want my cyclops going all skynet on me dammit.

1. did the shadow say anything or did it just show up and fade away

2. thats a normal message

3. I have no idea

[nicken chugger]

none of these should be bugs.

Your first concern is not a ghost leviathan. It's the sea emperor leviathan trying to contact you. Keep playing.

Those weird messages are precursor language messages. Our AI cannot decipher them.

Subnautica has a long standing history of having the vehicles say funny things upon entry. Some people claim that they were removed a while back but I doubt it. They are too funny.

All in all, nothing to be concerned about. Keep playing and enjoy yourself.

You sure your cyclops ain't saying something along the lines of *We are the borg* ? :) in all seriousness it might just be due to an old save my guy. I personally am waiting for release at this point because i've started over like seven or eight times since i've gotten this game and the starting kinda gets old after a while but it's the only way to NOT have glitches and all that jazz.
Best of luck with your problems/ visits from leviathan / oh dear god my base no.

Explainations.

1: That was the Sea Emperor Leviathan. It plays 20 minutes after you try to deactivate the gun.

2: Those are the warpers. They can send trasmittions through the radio broadcaster.

3a: That's an easteregg. The cyclops says the following things:

"You are the best captain on this planet. And I'm not even squidding."

3b: Another warper trasmittion.

In short, these are all normal.

Wait wait wait..I get a visit because i TRIED to save the sunbeam but was new and didn't realize i was infected? Awww thanks sea emp but my base is currently in the safe shallows so...NIEN!

Old save... there's the problem.

The way the game saves data, it saves part of the game data into your save file (in addition to just changes you made to the game world).

So, when a new update comes along, it may have changed something that comes in conflict with what your old save game shows.

EG: when they rolled out the (machinery update?) where the thermal and nuclear plant got new models, I loaded an old save quickly to just check them out. But, I was still seeing the old models. The models were saved in my save file as part of the game data, and conflicted with the updates models.. so the game used my saved games models instead.

I kept playing it and noticed all kinds of funky stuff.. which I first thought was bugs.

I also had awful frame rate.

But, I started a new game... frame rate cleared up, new models showed up, things that were bugs in old save cleared up.

From then I just started a new game after a new update came out. But, I got tired of doing that every month, so I waited for about 5 updates to come out to play ghost update lately from scratch.

Totally worth it.

How spooky..

[Master Green Fox]

Cool!, It's nice to know I'm not crazy/have a broken game file. I assume then that since it was my old save the ghost apperition simply happened after 20 min of game play since I was waaaaay past attempting to save the sunbeam and failing increadibly.

Also, nice to know I can hear the darned warpers closing in around me. Is that why more have started showing up literally everywhere in my game? Seriously they are in many more places than they used to be. Places I had been in before now suddenly have warpers when the did not have them before.

Shining example was when I was attacked by one just off the edge of the safe shallows and the kelp forest. Ruddy teleport buggars are some of the scariest things simply because they don't even have to get near me and can take me out of almost any vehicle I decide to be in.

... they can't warp me out of a Cyclops can they? God I hope not.

I don't believe so. I tested that out and either they didn't notice me or they can't attack.

I think your last example was you were listening to a broadcast from a Warper, and you entered the Cyclops while it was doing the 'I'm not even squidding' easteregg.
