Update (3rd September): We've fixed an issue where in-progress Axum Powerplant Turbines disappeared or were no longer completable. Players affected will now see the Powerplant Turbine ghost again and be able to complete the building at no cost. Players reaching this point after the update will be able to complete the building as normal with the required resources. Hello Subnauts,
A hotfix for Subnautica 2 just landed. We’ve corrected some localization issues, improved lower canyon Collector Leviathan pathing, and fixed a few bugs related to saves, bases, and more.
We continue to monitor community feedback, so please keep reporting any bugs or issues via in-game feedback or on our support site.
The full list of changes in today’s hotfix is below.
Corrected localization issue where some PDA and Databank descriptions were not displaying with translations.
Corrected new Pioneer names (Jegna and Grace) not being displayed with translations.
Fixed items stored on wall racks not being properly refunded when using "Refund Base."
Fixed exterior furniture not being movable when playing as a client in multiplayer.
Cleaned up leftover data from the base item spawn system to reduce save bloat.
Fixed base construction ghost data lingering in saves after builds were completed.
Fixed the base power transmitter beam appearing offset and flickering oddly, added subtle randomization to its flicker VFX for a more natural look.
Players can no longer be released from an aggressive creature's grip via certain exploits.
Improved pathing for the Collector Leviathan in the lower canyon areas, and tightened its collision detection.

Added improved error logging for save failures ("Platform write failed for save slot").
Removed outdated save compatibility file no longer needed on any platform.
Fixed a softlock that could occur on the character select screen.

A reminder: If you play Subnautica 2 with mods, please temporarily disable, remove, or uninstall them before launching the game following the hotfix. Community mods will not be updated for compatibility with the latest hotfix, and may cause crashes or other unexpected behavior on launch. Once the mod creators have updated their content, you can re-enable and reinstall your mods.
This hotfix may take some time to roll out worldwide.
Keep diving!
