[BUGFIX for stuck Mouse & NO Load or Save] Instructions inside

[LostCaveman]

I have noticed many people have some issues with the cursor atm so i present a fix for you.

Inside Steam go to your library and rightclick subnautica and click "properties" in the newly opened window select "Local Files" Tab and click "Browse Local Files..."

Go into the "SNAppData" and then "SavedGames" folder and find the file "options.bin"
Now open the file with notepad or any editor you want.

Find this part inside "Input/ControllerEnabled
" and change it to "Input/ControllerDisabled
" and save the file again.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks to the help of "soloistpro" i found out that if you are not able to see the Load Button and the Saves are missing, changing the very first character in the "options.bin" to the ° (degree) character fixes this issue.

Problems fixed! Happy diving everyone!

I just tried this and it worked. Simple. Thanks to the OP.

This fixes the cursor, but now the save won't load. I also tried starting a new game and saving but that save doesnt appear either.

Yeah stuck with the smae problem, but the fix won't change the saves. Thats a completely different bug.

You should be able to change the setting back to enabled without the original bug coming back, but you'll still have the problem where you can't load a saved game after this or save a new game.

It's over a month now, without any changes to the "save" bug. I liked subnautica alot but it has no more value to me when you can't save anymore.
I'm glad my mousfix helps at least.

I found after using your fix to get the mouse working again, this works to fix the load game problem. Replace the options.bin file in your Subnautica > SNAppData > SavedGames folder with this file. Apparently when you activate VR, it changes some of the text in this file and causes this issue. I can see some differences between this text and the altered text after activating VR, but I don't know code so I don't know what makes a difference or why. But this fixed it for me.

Thank you for the binary file, had to find the reason.

The very first character in this file has to be changed to the ° (degree) character to fix the save and load issues.
My best guess is that they encoded the VR/normal/etc versions by either using the the hexcode "x00B0" or decimalcode "176" of that character to determine that it's normal mode.

Thanks for the mention there TheMaster. I was happy to be able to help the community.

With the newest Star Citizen alpha updates coming soon, I don't know how much more game time I'll be spending in Subnautica for a while.

is this mentioned bug the one that occurs on occasion while piloting the cyclops and the players ability to look around with the mouse or keyboard ceases working along with the ability to open up any menu whether the main pause menu or the pda inventory menu? or is that a different bug?
