Barotrauma Dev Tracker

Ah, I see! That shouldn't matter too much, unless you're using mods that override the same content. For example, if you had installed "Trick or Trauma", which replaces plasma cutters with chainsaws, and another mod that replaces those same plasma cutters with, let's say, an axe, then the mod that's lower on the list would override the previous one. So it could depend on whether you wanted axes or chainsaws.

Hi! Mods are loaded from the top to bottom in the order they're arranged in the settings, so the things you want loaded first you should place at the top.

Hi! Sorry for the trouble. You can find more information (in English) about this problem in this thread, where I wrote earlier: https://steamcommunity.com/app/602960/discussions/1/5174040687095188406/

The problem will be fixed in the next update, so it should stop bothering yo... Read more

Hi! We're aware this is a problem for players who play on bigger screens. We're looking into it, and if it proves to be a simple matter, we'll be making the text size adjustable soon, perhaps even in the next update. However, it's still a little too early to tell if we are able to do that. In any event, we wish to make this happen as soon as possible!

Unfortunately, having the log in a character inventory or anywhere on the sub also causes this (when there is an overly long message in it, that is). XML editing is not my specialty either, but this is what I was able to find, written by another player who was troubleshooting the issue with us on our issue tracker[github.com]:

The issue can be bypassed by opening up the save file in your favorite XML text editor and searching for "log", you'll know you found the right one if you find a terminal with a bunch of lore looking text. You can then just delete most of the content and the game will load normally again.

I believe we'll be releasing the fix for this issue into the "... Read more

Hi! Sorry for the trouble. It sounds like you've run into the issue described in more detail here: https://trello.com/c/Atq0Lj6E/342-fix-coming-items-falling-out-of-inventories-and-players-unable-to-interact-in-multiplayer

In short, it's about the logbook you picked up while salvaging. It can be worked around but that's a little finicky; details behind the link. A proper fix will be included in the next update, but that will still be a few weeks in the making. I hope it helps in the meantime to at least know what to avoid!

Hi! Sorry to hear you're having problems with Barotrauma. As a first measure, please go through this FAQ post and try things like validating game files and deleting mods (details in the post) to rule out the "likely suspects". Also, please make sure it isn't anything on your end (out... Read more

Hi! Sorry for the trouble, this is an actual bug and there's probably no easy way to work around it for the moment: currently, you need to descend the height of the level + 5000 meters, which probably isn't possible without modifying the levels because the sea floor is above that depth.

We'll fix it as soon as we're able to, and you can keep tabs on it via this GitHub ticket if you'd like to: https://github.com/Regalis11/Barotrauma/issues/4702

Hi! Thanks for the report and sorry for the trouble. It seems someone else has recently run into the same and reported the issue in our GitHub, so if you'd like to, you can follow our progress on the ticket there: https://github.com/Regalis11/Barotrauma/issues/4697

Hi everyone! I would like to clear up some things about the Trello roadmap: first off, something being in the hopes and dreams section does not by any means say that that thing will happen; it's more of a nod that the thought has crossed our minds and if it seems feasible, we may consider it. The long-term plans list is the end of actual plans – and the list is not exhaustive, or set in stone. It's only what we can say with some certainty right now.

Secondly, just like the Trello roadmap doesn't include a card like "fix the top 500 most annoying bugs", it also doesn't say "make the bot AI good enough that SP no longer drives new players crazy in less than half an hour". However, that doesn't mean it isn't one of our overarching goals to improve the singleplayer experience further – on the contrary, that is an important part of our development plans, but rather than there being big, easily identifiable milestones there, it's (for the time being, anyway!) work that we do w...

Hi! Sorry for the trouble. If the server is not producing a crash report, you could try launching the server executable (DedicatedServer.exe) directly from the Barotrauma folder on your computer – does that write any error messages in the F3 console?

Besides that, please make sure your antivirus or firewall isn't blocking the connection, and you could also check this ... Read more

This restriction only applies to singleplayer campaign, where the starting sub is restricted to allow the campaign to play out like it is intended. In every other game mode, you are free to choose your submarine!

Hi! Sorry for the trouble. We're pretty sure the problem isn't actually the threshers or that mission, but that there is currently an issue with certain weapons: hitscan weapons (= firearms that hit the target immediately as opposed to launching a physical projectile at the target) sometimes don't work in specific areas around the sub. There was a similar report in our public issue tracker about this recently ( https://github.com/Regalis11/Barotrauma/issues/4291 ), and we believe we've got a fix ready now. If possible, we'll see about including this in the upcoming hotfix, or at latest, the problem should be fixed in the next proper update (that one being somewhat further away in the future)!

Hi! To reduce the price further, there are two things you can cut back on: the items on the sub, and (probably more importantly) the total volume of the hulls of the sub. So in addition to removing some items, you may need to make the submarine smaller to be able to start a campaign with it. If you don't want to do that, you can also play the campaign with the default sub for a while until you can buy a bigger sub.

This restriction only applies to singleplayer campaign, so in multiplayer and in mission mode, you should be able to start with whichever sub you choose.

Hi! Yes, you should be able to transfer a save file like that. However, besides the save file itself, there's also a file called "[the_name_of_the_savefile]_CharacterData.xml" in the same folder as the save file, which is used to save the player characters (skills, inventories, etc). This file will also need to be shared if you want to keep playing with the same characters. With both files, you shouldn't have trouble resuming the campaign!

Thanks! There's a workaround for Windows 7 issues in that FAQ post that you should take a look at – it works for most people with that OS, and we have included instructions in Russian, too, behind that link I sent before. I hope this helps!

Hi! This sounds like it may be because of the autopilot changes we made intentionally to deal with the new environmental hazards. The autopilot is very cautious around ice spires and tends to stop near them, so some manual steering may now be required in some levels. We're monitoring the feedback, and the prevalence of autopilot use is coming as a bit of a surprise to us; we'll continue keeping an eye on things! If it seems this is not the problem for you, please let us know more about what went wrong :)

Hi! Please see this FAQ post for possible fixes: https://steamcommunity.com/app/602960/discussions/1/2250056952644548482/

If none of those help, are you able to find a crash report (a file called "crashreport.log" in the game folder), or does the game display any error messa... Read more

Hi! There's no bug there, really, but the text is admittedly confusing, because you cannot save your progress mid-round. There should be an additional popup that alerts you to this, but still, we'll be taking a look at that text to avoid further confusion!

Hi! The Thalassophobia author, Hub, doesn't read these forums a lot, so you should either leave a comment in the comment section of the mod or poke him in the modding channel of our Discord (where you will find him as Hubismal), if you want to reach him. I'm sure he wouldn't mind feedback :)
