Sleeping is completely optional, so a save by sleeping could possibly literally never happen. Imagine if you played for 10+ hours straight, never went to sleep, and your game closed unexpectedly. Bet people would be absolutely furious that an autosave didn't cover their butts.

I know I've seen more than my fair share of threads on the Subnautica forums raging about how that game doesn't have an autosave feature, where people lose countless hours every week because they neglect manual saves that they could do at any moment, yet never do.

I mean, okay, fair point. Although this does not matter to me, i played most of the survival games that came out the last years and most of them have only save when sleeping or logging out. And honestly about the Subnautica-example it's on those people. Like you said, subnautica has a Safefeature now which is even tied to a key. So it's super easy.

But even so then they should work on it. The stutters are a problem since they introduced autosafe. And sure, there are always the people who say "i don't have this problem, so it does not exist, mimi" but it's definitly a problem. For me it even causes crashes.
Or just make a option so people can choose if they want this Autosafe when they can't fix it.
I really don't know why the Dev's of this game are so stubborn denying any settings to make the game more comftorble for different people.
This makes people just more and more rely on mods and causing in some cases even more problems.

there is no lag, only cloudsave make lags. disable it

Not true at all, I've had cloud save disabled for quite a long time.

Don't have issues on autosave either, however those Lag Spikes from time to time seem worse than I've ever noticed. Even streamers are having them as well. I think it's when it updates the world or something, dunno

seriously lol? Pretty sure you can change the interval of auto saves, do you have it set for like every 5 minutes or something?

It's pretty simple really, when you get the world save warning, Don't be fighting......

I agree with you. Autosaves suck. Giving me lag every 20 minutes is not a desirable mechanic.

I have to agree. When we played 2 years ago, these lags did not exist.
It's also irrelevant whether you can "prepare for it", or try not to be in the middle of combat at that exact moment. That's not the point. It's about the fact that the performance shouldn't go down so massively at the time of saving. Especially because it wasn't always like that.

autosaves in the current EA game state take < a second until my world gets really, really trashed. After 10 or so bases and thousands of terrain edits and more, yea, it slows down to a couple seconds. It shouldn't be a big deal unless you are on older hardware; are you still using a rotating drive? that can make it a lot worse, esp if not maintained (defragged, clean).

lolwut? I'm up to 3 second autosaves with 2 bases (one a terrain unedited wooden hut) and an NVMe. It doesn't hang for the full 3 seconds, but that's what it reports as save time. And they supposedly fixed the terrain bug.

Plus the weird extra unwarned freezes introduced with mistlands, and the weird new input lag, and the new enemies that force project - striking you without ever touching you with a simple wave of their mandible...

Zero issues on my game.. don't even notice the auto-save..

1. it warns you ahead of time so you can prepare
2. it does a countdown so you know exactly when it's happening so you can prepare.
3. it's early access, if you can't live with not necessarily optimized gameplay/features you should avoid those kind of games.

Imagine being so bad at a game you have to blame autosaves.
