Seems worth a try https://www.epicgames.com/store/en-US/install/subnautica

Another store launcher though

Borsch · 14 Dec 2018 at 17:31

I am not bothered by this nowadays, I already have Steam, Rockstar, DCS, IL2, Ubisoft... Now Epic Games too

I think the Epic launcher may have some legs though - their revenue cut is only 12%, much lower than Steam.

Will stop Valve being complacent I guess!

Yeah, they're already signing exclusives. There are certainly some developers out there that have had enough of Steam.

I've already got it on steam. But what the hell lets have it again

I am hoping World War Z(on epic) is as good as it looks.
It better have first person view.

It's £19.50 on steam and has good reviews so i grabbed it, thanks.

I've had my eye on Subnautica for a while. Mega chuffed I got it for free. I have the Epic games launcher anyway as I've been dabbling with Unreal Engine.

and theres always an old revisit to Unreal Tournament !

Very impressed with Subnautica, amazing atmosphere and incredible visuals. Gamepad controls work well, but it'd be incredible with motion controls.
The biggest issue is the PDA is a bit too close for viewing comfort. Seems strange to do everything else right, but not move the PDA back a bit for readability.
Definitely a game that has to be experienced in VR.

Got this, crashing constantly.

TheMightyTen · 17 Dec 2018 at 10:25

It's rock solid for me, might be worth trying an uninstall and reinstall.

I'd been meaning to pick this up for a while and now that I've finally had a go I'm blow away. Truly stunning and I think has to go to the top of my list for VR stuff to show people who've never tried before

chroniclard · 17 Dec 2018 at 10:26

Ah, this is the Vr thread.

Not that it should make much difference but i am not using VR, bet its epic in VR!

This is a great game and works really well in VR, but the gui issues are really frustrating having various screens 1 inch from your face is rather annoying, also i cant seem to sort out my inventory at all using the rift controllers, im guessing it may be better with the xbox controller?

NovaKill4 · 17 Dec 2018 at 14:52

I have tried playing this in VR with an Xbox controller and struggled. Loved playing this normally and one of the reasons i bought a rift was for this but i couldn't get the controls and UI right. I remember having issues when trying to pilot the cyclops, i think i had to use the mouse left click to start the engines on it.

Thanks for the heads up, had this on my Steam wish-list for ages and can now grab a freebie.

Skidder · 18 Dec 2018 at 15:16

Nice one, thanks.

What is control method on this? Oculus touch?

hyperseven · 18 Dec 2018 at 17:00

Do you get access to the beta builds on the Epic launcher?

The touch controller only works as a gamepad, your best off using a Xbox controller (or your preferd gamepad)
The game is ‘VR light’ and only supports headtracking, still cool in VR and surprisingly scary
