Beacon and vehicle pings stopped working

[Fraje(CZ)]

I have a problem with beacons, or their signals, to be specific. Out of nowhere, all of my pings stopped showing up, meaning even if I switch between the "on/off" option, they behave as if they're always switched off.
It's possibly not just a beacon problem, because not even my vehicles, nor lifepod show up on the HUD. This is really frustrating, because i'm literally the deepest I can be, in the active lava zone, so it's going te be quite hard getting back up (with my Cyclops, I know about teleporters).

Did you go thru one of those green portals that are powered by ino crystal?
Because I did and all my pings stopped working.

If I drop new a beacon it works until I walk thru a portal again then it stops.

Basically, from what I've seen, walking thru a portal permanently disables all current (but not future) pings.

Well ♥♥♥♥, this is probably the case, but at first I thought it wasnt. It happened to me earlier, I've noticed and quit the game without saving. I booted the game up the next day and probably walked through another one and didnt notice. I saved already. This is really bad. :/

Reload the save, it's the only workaround currently as it'll happen again if you go through the portal.

I've noticed that it happens most (if not only) if i go through the portal in my Prawn suit.

That's exactly what happened both times, I went through a portal in PRAWN Suit.
I'm gonna try reloading the save later. I was so horrified by the loss of all the carefuly placed beacons that I was ready to let the game rest for another few months.
Thanks for your input, man.

Go to ...\Steam\SteamApps\common\Subnautica\SNAppData\SavedGames\slot000 (or slot #, depending of which save you have trouble with) and delete all the batch-objects-#-#-# txt files and/or all the files in the CellsCache folder.
That should bring all the pings back, worked for me at least. That is until I move through a portal again.
DO NOT delete the files in the CompiledOctreesCache, that WILL erase your entire save file.

You don't need to delete any batch files in order to fix this bug. Just save and reload. And the bug only happens when you travel through a portal in a submersible. Travelling through a portal on your own won't do anything.

How old is your saved game?
