Hello Subnauts,

Our second hotfix for Subnautica 2 is here! We’ve added more resource areas, adjusted Hammerhead behavior, fixed a few bugs and crashes, and made some changes to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. 

Additional changes are currently being worked on to address community feedback on creature balance and overall graphics performance. We will continue to roll out those changes in the coming weeks.

Check out the full list of changes in today’s patch below.
 

• Added more Silver resource areas in early game region
• Added more Troilite resource areas in late game region
• Adjusted Hammerhead behavior so they are no longer as attracted to Tadpole lights. This previously resulted in Hammerheads following players, even back to their bases, and hanging out there trying to reach the Tadpole
• Fixed a bug where players could occasionally be teleported back to their base while exploring in a Tadpole
• Fixed an infinite oxygen bug after a player died of hunger or thirst while piloting a Tadpole
• Resolved a crash that could occur when losing connection from a multiplayer game
• Fixed a crash that could occur randomly in the late game region
• Improved performance when using Epic visual settings 
• Added callout to let players know that telemetry can be turned off at any time from settings
  • This callout is only available in English and will be translated in the next patch
• Implemented some changes to the Terms of Service
  • Revised sections include Preamble, Limited License, Gameplay Videos, Prohibited Uses, Ownership, Section Title, Player-Submitted Content, Limitation of Liability, Transfer of Terms and Conditions
• Implemented some changes to the Privacy Policy
  • Revised sections include Privacy Notice, What Information Do We Collect, How We Share Your Information, Security of Your Information

Due to the changes in the Terms of Service, you will be prompted to re-accept when you next start Subnautica 2. The changes will be effective immediately or, if required, at the end of any notice period where you live. 

Analytics for Subnautica 2 can be turned off at any time from the settings menu.

A FAQ clarifying some common community questions and a Fan Content Creator Guidelines webpage are also available.

This hotfix may take some time to roll out worldwide and will be available on Xbox once it has cleared certification.

Keep diving!
