Subnautica Fix for Lag

[Albi]

I'm having some major issues with EXTREME lag in the game. I'm currently running the following

CPU - 3900x
GPU - 2080s
SSD - m.2 NVME 1TB disk

Running the game in a _small_ base is now tanking my FPS to 20-21 no matter what I do, I've tried deleting the cell folder, tried doing the trustedinstaller fix... Nothing fixes it :( Help!

EDIT:

SO! After some ♥♥♥♥ing horrendous searching it turned out that it was an issue with hyperthreading where the game just can't handle it.

The fix for it was to install the following,

https://www.nexusmods.com/subnautica/mods/201
https://www.nexusmods.com/subnautica/mods/389

This took me from 21 FPS to 100+

The big little update and recent patches have broken optimizations on many systems regardless of system used.Wish i could help but you might have to wait it out sorry to say.

It sounds like you are running a pretty high spec rig. In the event you are using any types of acceleration (CPU, GPU, or RAM) you might try dialing it all back to base specs.

[Albi]

It's all base spec, it's pretty awful :( I moved away from my base and get like 45-50 which still seems painfully low

[deepdive0777]

Between the unity engine update,the big little messed up update and broken optimizations others are experiencing what you are as well.

I managed to fix it! :)

Check the op :)

doh.... first read, then think, then write :-)
sorry, my mistake.

by the way - the mod WORKS :-)

resetted all my early trials back to default, now i´going on to enjoy my new hardware (hopefully without lacks when base is growing up).

why the modders are able to fix such a horrible mistake in the game´s systemfiles? unknown-worlds did a great job creating this very impressive game (i mean this seriously without ironic) - but the performance-lacks are reported hundred times by the living subnautica-community and NOTHING was improved due to this fun-killing error... i owned a 5000€-pc (price includes supersize 32:9 monitor and high quality speakers) to enjoy subnautica and other games in best possible quality - and a fc...ing mistake in subnauticas systemfiles makes me crazy playing a game released to final in 2016 with a fps-rate feels like having a "piece-of-♥♥♥♥ museum-gaming-pc..."

and today - had nice day at work, coming home and start my pc after two weeks of resignation i looked in subnautica community hub just for fun - and FOUND THIS THREAD!

BANG! - somebody posts a working solution made by modder-guys in their freetime... great respect :-)

big thx to ALBI posting this solution here and big thx to the guys who made this mod.

but the initial questions stays - why unknown worlds is not able to do this by themselfes? game was patched in november 2019, named big little update... some plants looks nicer, some objects doesn´t glitch... but one of the (at my opionion) most frustrating bug was not resolved? thank god the modders are know what they do.

happy subbing @all :-)

could you give me a short description what you mean with this?

sure. Bethesda's engine is 20 years old and can't be redefined or fixed any more. Years of band-aids. They refuse to move to a new one and keep using it relying on their modding community to fix their games after release, and they reluctantly do so.
They have explicitly stated that, and that is bad business model and practice.
What happened to honestly and development crews who can admit they made mistakes?
They expect others to fix their messes.
I've done it for years, and I gave up.
One mans trash is another mans treasure.
Too bad the modders don't get paid.

No hate. I come from the golden age of game coding where there were no limits to imagination. To push into never before possibilities. To challenge ourselves into unexplored possibilities.
These days it's all about a check. The QA pushed onto EA crowds.

I was a very active modder for many years. Some of my first big mods and rewrites were for Jedi Knight Outcasts and Jedi Knights Academy. and to this day the coding in those games is 100 times more expansive than modern titles such as this.
Like I say. No hate. People just do things differently now a days.
Sometimes the easiest, most practical way out... is NOT the best way to create art.

thanks for your statement; i think i got the point of your opinion.

1. do some programming stuff till a release to customer is possible - yeah, money money money.
2. fix ONLY the main bugs to keep most customers happy for the next title in release-pipeline...
3. don´t bother me with old titles - here´s the NEXT to make money with.

sounds like capitalism :-)

i don't know what i expected - but i HOPED unknown worlds is a small studio with some kind of enthusiasts who wanted to make it better than the so-called "bethesda-style"... (by the way - nice wording *smile*)

ok, hope dies last - thank god for good modders who do their best sometimes get the games REALLY to a final release-state.

Appreciate the mod links, hopefully helps me out as well. I played through the base game before this latest patch and it was a pretty solid experience, no real bad frame dips or anything.

Now though? Down into the 20's under certain conditions, ridiculously bad pop-in, (probably a different issue) and constant freezing for up to 5 seconds when entering/exiting vehicles or base, opening PDA or lockers, and surfacing. It's obnoxious.
