This looks like an awesome game. I bought it on sale yesterday, but I'm setting it aside until I get a Rift to play it on, since it looks like they had VR in mind throughout production. Can anyone who's had experience comment on how well this game handles VR?

I'm playing the game in VR and have never played the game before. I saw my first Reaper while testing out my seamoth for the first time and immediately turned 180 and ran away full speed into a rock and exploded.

Powercrazy posted:What's the progression like in this game? Do you start out a small insignificant escape bouy and then stay that way, or do you eventually get like a giant battleship and a crew etc? Basically do the mechanics of the game evolve, or is it more end-goal focused where you are trying to get home/figure out the mystery/etc? Yeah you start off in an escape pod but eventually can build your own subaquatic science fortress and also can build a submarine that you can walk around inside of, which can even carry a smaller personal exploration craft. My first playthru of this game has been using the Vive and it turned this game from a lighthearted waterworld sandbox to a full-on ocean phobia simulator. When im in deep dark water i have to sit indian-style in my computer chair for fear that something might get my legs

This game was amazing in VR when I played it on the vive a couple years ago, but there were too many bugs in the VR mode that prevented me from progressing. Anyone have any idea how things are looking on the VR side of things these days?

Drake_263 posted:For some unknowable reason the UI for renaming your beacons doesn't work in VR and occasionally the neutral position for where you're actually looking tends to drift, but I loved my experience of Subnautica in VR. The limited arc of view even decently emulates the feeling of wearing a diving mask. I didn't mind any bugs that had work arounds such as the camera drifting and not being able to save (just had to play on hardcore mode where the game saves on exit). But once I got the Cyclops the game started to fall apart. I couldn't dock my seamoth into the Cyclops and also when I was inside the Cyclops the interior textures would become transparent, making walking around the hull impossible. There was some other stuff too, like movement speed while walking inside bases was really slow while in VR for some reason. Sounds like the more game breaking stuff like that is better off now?

Drake_263 posted:I had absolutely none of those issues. Okay cool, thanks for the info. I haven't touched my vive in a year, and coming back to check out subnautica to play with all the new additions is probably the only thing that would get me back into it. Hopefully the frame rate is still manageable on VR since they did the graphics update. I'm a bit weary of how many on the forums seem to complain about draw distance issues when that kind of stuff isn't just noticable, but pretty obnoxious in VR. Only way to find out for sure if to jump in
