Hi Remodor. I have a quick question. I'm playing the Microsoft Game Pass for PC version of Subnautica and unfortunately Microsoft keeps their files locked up tighter then a nun in church... so modding their version of Subnautica is either impossible or you need to know how to unlock their files which could lead to them banning your Xbox app account and break your game. I seriously hate Microsoft for this reason. But unfortunately I made the mistake to sign up for Game Pass(which wouldn't be that bad if they didn't power trip on people having access to their game files)and started playing Subnautica. I've been playing the game for over a month now and am fairly far into this save. The other problem with Game Pass is that you can't back up your save files. Game Pass deletes the temp save folder on game exit and re-downloads this same temp save folder on game startup from their cloud server. Multiple save files are not possible. So bugs can't be eliminated by loading an older save for example. So if a bug happens I am stuck either trying to figure out how to fix it or start a new game:( This bug you fixed with your mod happened to me. My last save was inside the Prawn so when I loaded it the physics glitch happened. I was flying all over the place. My HUD icons were missing and my toon was all glitchy too. The animations were borked and I thought my save was lost, because for all intents and purposes it looked like a game breaking bug. This happened to me down in the second Degasi base( 500m) so it was difficult to get out of this cave while the physics was a mess. In the end I fixed it by forcing the Cyclops over the Prawn and lowering it down on top of it until it pulled it up in the vehicle bay. This whole experience sucked and I damn near deleted my save and quit Game Pass because of it.
Now finally onto my question. Since I'm on Game Pass and can't mod the game and therefore can't use your very useful mod, what can I do to limit this happening again? I figured as long as I never save inside a vehicle I should be safe but I just want to be 100% certain that I don't miss anything. Don't want to go through that @#$% ever again:)
PS) Sorry about the long rant but I just wanted to make sure I am clear on how much Microsoft sucks eggs, and honestly the real fault lies with UW for not patching and fixing this bug already. I mean this game has been out for what 6-7 years now?
Sadly, I don't know the exact cause for it. I played around to find a fix and stumbled across this solution. But it is already a couple years in the past. Your best bet is to exit always before saving -_-
Now, when I leave the prawn and go away some feet and come back, it always is in the "bugged standing" position, also when it was properly "sitting down" as I left. (It was a bug fix to run away from a "bugged standing" prawn after leaving and reentering it to make it work again when it was stuck)
And, with that "midget when leaving a prawn in an alien facility" bug, when saving after leaving the prawn inside a facility and loading, the character just falls down in a black abyss. The player is a "midget" because the character is inside the floor to the hips.
Are you saying you never had that before installing the mod? Both bugs happen very often even in entirely unmodded games to me since the recent updates.
So far I haven't fallen through the world with this mod installed, which is the one bug it claims to fix.
Okay, well, I never had this bug (falling through the floor to the black abyss) before I added this mod. So from my perspective... But if that is a vanilla issue I just had bad luck?
Yes, you can check the source code if you know coding or you have to take my word :D
This mod does not change any of these things. What it actually does is it calls the "enter vehicle" method from the developers after the game is loaded and you are sitting in an vehicle. Nothing more. That means if you save outside a vehicle, the mod does nothing. If you play even for a single second the mod does nothing anymore. Even if you exit the vehicle, this mod is not responsible for any behaviour after loading. If you save inside a vehicle load this save you wont have the described bug, but all other 999999 bugs which are still in the game will still be in the game. This means when something with the position of the vehicle went wrong, e.g. like it is saved below the world. My mod is sadly not responsible. I wish i could change that, so i could fix it ;)
I hope i could clarify and maybe someone who can also code can confirm the super light weight of this mod.
Thank you SO MUCH for making this mod! I thought I was going to have to abandon my latest full playthrough when I saved while wearing the Prawn suit in the ILZ, loaded that save, and was uncontrollably flying through the air the second I loaded in, even if I exited the Prawn. Your mod fixed the bug and allowed me to continue using that save, so I didn't have to start over when I was so close to the end game. :)

Very unsatisfying, I know.. Sorry, mate!

However, this mod does not touch any of your problems. It only fixes the stated bug.
So from my perspective...
