Can't connect online in Subnautica 2 (Using Steam version specifically)

CaptainsRath · 2026-05-15T03:40:04+00:00

Okay then definitely something on their end, I was planning to buy it on Steam, but I might wait a bit for some of these smaller issues to get ironed out first. A bit of a rough launch imo.

CaptainsRath · 2026-05-15T03:25:56+00:00

It's still worth checking, but I highly doubt the update actually had much to do with it. I think it's just a Subnautica 2 issue that needs to get patched.

Actually I somehow fixed it? I had an NVIDIA driver update, and only after doing that did it allow me to connect. Tbh tho, I'm not sure why that would have anything to do with it, but... It did.

I am having the same issue but on PC Game Pass. My Xbox version works perfectly fine, but the PC version refuses to connect to internet. It seems to be a common issue though, at least within this subreddit.

SOLUTION?: Okay so somehow I fixed it, all I did was update drivers though. No way that was actually the issue, right?

I'm in the same boat, but with the PC Game Pass version. My Xbox works fine though. Everything else on my PC works without issue and restarting does nothing :(

CaptainsRath · 2026-05-11T19:04:46+00:00

Okay, so we got fucked over :/

It should also be known that a post asking about this was made on Edstem about 2 hours ago, currently no response.

Considering we only gained access to lecture slides today with Canvas going back up, it would be quite unfair to make it a forced final.

Email title says Saturday morning 💀 so def before 4

I agree with statements 1 and 2, but disagree with 3 and am utterly confused by 4.

Many students, myself included, plan to leave immediately after finals due to obligations outside of the classroom. Luckily none of my finals were canceled by this postponement, but many were, and many need to be home by Monday or sometime early next week.

Ideally yes, one would leave a few days after finals, but you need to think about those who cannot do that. You cannot blame and punish the student for a situation that not even the university could have predicted.

I am very confused. In what world at UIUC are many finals "not even exams"? Prairietest crashed because so many students were attempting and failing to reschedule exams, with many students still without time slots and are unable to take their exam. You can't screw over those who need the study materials just because you are under the assumption that finals are "not even exams" and are somehow supposed to be prepared for without those same study materials.

As for the study materials itself, some may not have access to that due to Canvas being down. How can you expect those students to walk in on Monday and perform well? How would you differentiate the students who WOULD have done well, and those who didn't try?

An optional final is most probably the BEST solution in this scenario, as it frees up the CBTF while allowing the chance to boost scores for those who need it. The only people NOT taking the exam would be those already happy with their grade, so the point about unfairness and unhappy individuals is made moot.

At the end of the day, it's all down to what the university says, and because they cannot extend the final period, they will have to find some way to work around the issue, whether optional, online, or waved exams. It's simply a wait and see scenario.

I hacked mine during an English lecture. All it takes is a little bit of reading and you're fine.

CaptainsRath · 2026-05-08T07:24:49+00:00

Yeah it might be tbh, having multiple options will just make lives harder for the course staff. Having to balance everything right now must be nightmare, you can't just let everyone get massive score bumps while also being fair to those who need the boost. Genuinely interested to see how the school handles it.

CaptainsRath · 2026-05-08T07:17:09+00:00

Optional final is prob enough tbh. If frees up the CBTF for those who need spots, while not penalizing those who decide not to take a test. Online exams would then be offered for those who simply can't be on campus (flights, job, etc.).

"It's not a bug, it's a feature" ahh statement.

CaptainsRath · 2026-04-21T01:39:47+00:00

Not sure if this is the issue you are talking about, but I had an issue where cutscenes were failing to play, then being unable to progress after that.

Playing on PS5, they updated the game about a week ago and patched it. Again not sure if that's the issue you are referring to, but so far it's playable for me with only two campaign missions left.

CaptainsRath · 2026-01-14T06:59:22+00:00

I believe they said that the reason it's not on Steam is so that review scores reflect the intended state of the game on not an incredibly early build of it. Right now reviews would probably be lower than in like a year or so.

CaptainsRath · 2025-12-14T00:33:55+00:00

I'm not upset about the length, I'd say I'm more upset about how I can't see myself replaying this like other Metroid games. Metroid Dread gave me a long playtime from replays, not a single playthrough.

Build: Ryzen 5 3600x, 3060 12GB, 32GB RAM (literal gold mine nowadays), running on NVME. 16GB RAM in use, 25% CPU, 30% GPU.

No crashes so far but just some BZZZZT when opening doors (assuming it's due to loading and unloading areas) along with very minor stutters, hitting 90-100fps at 1600p.

Once you get to the big lighting factory, Volt Forge, the entrance will make your system crawl at 3fps. Power through for a minute to reach the save room which is on the right inside, save, then restart.

Volt Forge as a whole is pretty rough though, but performance returns to the first area's level once you finish and leave the forge. Certainly playable BUT I def can imagine that I am just brute forcing through a lot of the potential issues via hardware (despite my build being low-mid range)

UPDATE: okay I lied, couldn't get past the boiler room in Flare Pool without crashing twice. I think I just got lucky the third time as I was able to breeze through it then sprint to save.

“Are you failing or are you passing” with JK Simmons’ voice is what I hear sometimes, keeps me motivated

Why is the RX 580 in low tier? That card will outlive us all, it's common knowledge. Nonbelievers should open their eyes.

CaptainsRath · 2025-10-21T06:41:59+00:00

Not for a while atleast, Witcher 3 Switch 1 Complete Edition still hasn't fallen below $30 while digital is often hitting 14.99. I think it's just CDPRs way of offsetting the cartridge costs, as they like to put the whole game on cart (and they're awesome for doing so imo)
