Subnautica

What works

Tested building, vehicles, different graphics settings. Everything works as expected.

What does not

Framerate around heavy light sources (such as Creepvine Seed Clusters) seem to heavily drain the FPS. Performance overall seems down from Windows version. Occasional issues with terrain pop-in being worse than on Windows (usually CPU related). Outside of that, the game runs perfectly without a hitch.

Workarounds

The game won't run perfectly unless you do the workaround:

1. You either have to run the game with --force-glcore45 to run it in OpenGL mode. If you do not do this, the game will have severe graphics issues such as invisible tools, transparent walls etc. You also cannot use "High" water detail in this mode.

What was not tested

Full playthrough, didn't visit later biomes (Lost River, Inactive Lava Zone etc). Alien Structures seem fine.

Hardware tested

Graphics:

• GPU: Nvidia
• Driver: proprietary

Additional Comments

It seems to be heavier on the graphics resources in Wine. Due to the poor performance I can't rate this higher than silver.
