Game Crashing While Heading To the New Floating Islands Area

[Phaota]

Twice now, and this is a first for me, the game has totally locked up while trying to head over into the new Floating Islands location. You can jump there with coordinates, but if you take a Seamoth and trying approaching, forget it. Total lockdown. You literally have to use the Task Manager to close the game. I've never had an issue like that before.

**Possible Solution**
I know this is a rather late reply, but I think the game crashes because when you approach the Island, a lot of new textures try to load to quickly causing the crash. This problem is further compounded when you approach the Island in a Seamoth or any fast traveling vehicle.

I found that by temporarily lowering my water quality and resolution level, it helps. A second thing to also do is to stare up at he sky while moving forward and not down at the sea floor (this prevents all that texture on the seafloor from having to load and possibly crashing your game). Finally, a third thing to do is move forward slowly, as in move forward.....stop......move forward again.....stop again....etc lol (this allows the game to load all textures in small amounts and not all at once which can crash your game). Hope this helps, good luck!

New floating islands area? Neither the underwater floating islands or the large one are new. If you are referring the northern island with the Precursor Cannon, then that is also not new, just somewhat recently updated with the cavern/tunnel system inside and the cannon. Nonetheless, there are still a bunch of issues that plague the area that need to be dealt with to keep crashes and serious lag from occurring, all of which the devs know about.
