Entering any "indoor" structure will fix it. This can be a facility or one of your bases. If you have 3 titanium and a 1 quartz, you can build a tube with a hatch, enter, exit, and the bug will be fixed.

1 A recent post claimed that you could enter the lost river brine and it would allow you to swim again. Be careful not to take too much damage. Where you are might be all lava though so don't try that.

2 Can you walk to the thermal plant? If so, take the portal.

3 If you have materials to build a tube with a hatch, (4 Ti and 1 quartz) do so and enter, then leave. You should be able to swim.

Hello, you'll have to resolve your issue with using console commands. The issue is that the alien base above you has a certain spot in the water which forces you to walk, this will be fixed in a future update. But the downside for this one is that you can't fix it without console commands (assuming you've already saved and can't just quit the game anymore) which does disable achievements.

If you have a Prawn Suit that has the same issue you'll have to spawn a new one with the command "spawn exosuit" (without the quotation marks) and transfer the items and upgrades from the old one. Once you've done this make sure you're not in a vehicle and type "warpforward 1" (again without the quotation marks) in the console, this will force the character to swim again.

If you've never used the console before you can look over at the Subnautica wiki how to enable and use it: https://subnautica.fandom.com/wiki/Console_Commands

Good to know! but in my mind i have beaten the game if it hadnt been for this ♥♥♥♥! So i already uninstalled it!! thanks bro!

Although there are indications that in future, use of Console Commands will disable Achievements for the rest of that playthough, at the present the disable only lasts until you sign out of the game session and re-enter.

I have corrected several "stuck" situations with console commands in my current playthrough, and I HAVE received new Achievements in subsequent sessions.

Your post is unrelated. Make a new one. I'm locking this thread.

The new answer to the original post is to use the "unstuck" button in the menu.
