Unknown Worlds has released a new hotfix for Subnautica 2 focusing on creature AI improvements, save file health, multiplayer fixes, and localization polish.
Key Changes & Improvements
- Creature & World Adjustments: Improved pathing and collision for the Collector Leviathan in lower canyon areas, fixed exploits used to break out of creature grips, and corrected Water Slug breath markers to only appear when physically present in the world.
- Base Building & Saves: Cleaned up residual spawn system and construction ghost data to prevent save bloat, fixed refund issues for wall rack items, aligned power transmitter beams, and added build/branch tracking to save files to prevent loading incompatible older saves.
- Vehicles & Multiplayer: Fixed oxygen replenishment reliability while riding Tadpoles or Hauls, blocked inventory sharing while driving, and resolved proximity chat push-to-talk input issues.
- Localization & UI: Added missing translations for PDA/Databank entries and Pioneer names (Jegna and Grace), fixed distant alignment guidelines, and enabled the analytics settings toggle.
Modding Notice: Disable or remove all community mods before launching this update. Unupdated mods may cause crashes or unexpected instability until creators issue compatibility updates.
