Bugsnax Master FAQ

[Luthyr]

General

How long is the game?
A single playthrough is generally 7-10 hours for a new player. The Isle of BIGsnax update extends the length further, around 6-8 hours for most players.

What is the difference between this and the PlayStation 4 / PlayStation 5 version?
The Steam version will generally receive updates and improvements faster than console versions due to its rapid patching process. Those wanting to edit game files for local modding will find it much easier on PC. The PlayStation versions includes advanced controller support for the lighbar, vibration, and speaker. PlayStation 5 uses higher resolution textures and supports the Game Help / Activity Card feature.

What languages are supported?
English, French, German, Spanish (Spain), Spanish (LATAM), Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Polish, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Simplified). We will not be integrating fan translations for this game, but you are free to distribute any on your own.

I'm having graphical issues or freezing on Windows, what should I do?
For the Steam version, try going to Settings > Display from the title screen and changing the Graphics Driver from DirectX 11 to DirectX 9.

My save progress seems to keep reverting my progression, what should I do?
Please check your antivirus software and setup any whitelisting/exceptions.

On Windows, save data is located in %UserProfile%\Saved Games\Bugsnax
For example, C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Saved Games\Bugsnax
The number corresponds to the slot number. Bugsnax2.save = Slot 2.

Save data for the game is stored in XML format and is editable in Notepad. Before making edits, please backup the save folder.

If you have found your save progress has disappeared, you may find periodic save backups available in the \Bugsnax\Settings\ folder:
C:\Users\YOURNAME\Saved Games\Bugsnax\Settings\SaveBackup*\

Each \SaveBackup*\ folder corresponds to the four save slots. Inside each folder may be another folder with a number generated when the save was first made, for example \20243361351\. Inside this folder should be the save file, Bugsnax.save.

Please copy and paste this file while the game is closed. For example:
C:\Users\YOURNAME\Saved Games\Bugsnax\Settings\SaveBackup\20243361351\Bugsnax.save
to
C:\Users\YOURNAME\Saved Games\Bugsnax\Bugsnax.save

My game is behaving in a strange way that no one else has reported?
Try using Steam's "Verify Integrity of Game Files" through Steam's property window for the Bugsnax installation. Some users have reported having more obscure issues fixed by this.

If the game is no longer opening after changing a graphical setting, please try deleting the Config.xml in the save directory:
On Windows, settings data is located in:
%UserProfile%\Saved Games\Bugsnax\Settings\
For example, C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Saved Games\Bugsnax\Settings\

I have many ideas on how to make Bugsnax better! Where can I tell you them?
Please make a post on the Steam forums for our game. We try very hard to read every post and will work towards implementing good ideas if we can. Please do understand that building games is tough work, and so we have to balance doing things that are technically feasible and that a lot of people would be able to benefit from.

Kweeble is my favorite and I'm not a fan of Banopper.

Nice! I like Inchwrap and dislike Banopper as well. Also, opinions on adding a secret tide pod Snakpod in the Triplicate Space or something

Are there any plans on any other sequels or DLCs?
