Turboboost your Subnautica loading times! For whatever reason, Subnautica's loading times are affected by the framerate, which by default is capped at your monitor's refresh rate. Fast Loading Screen eliminates this bottleneck, allowing the game to load as fast as your machine allows.

Fixed: macOS users can finally use Fast Loading Screen!
Version 2.0
Added compatibility with the new Subnautica 2.0 Living Large update.
What is this? This mod aims to eliminate avoidable slowdowns in the game's loading times, to ensure you are always loading the game as fast as your machine can handle! Through this mod, I have personally cut my own loading times in almost half!
Manual Installation Installation is fully compatible with QModManager! Whether QModManager is installed or not, simply follow these steps:
Just boot up the game as usual and be safe in the knowledge that your game is now loading as fast as it can.
If you want to compare the differences with and without this mod, you can follow these steps:
Optionally, enable the BepInEx console by editing the BepInEx.cfg found at Subnautica\BepInEx\config as follows: [Logging.Console]
## Enables showing a console for log output. # Setting type: Boolean # Default value: false Enabled = true
Start the game, and load your save/start a new game while holding down your Left Ctrl key. Once the loading process begins you can release Left Ctrl.
Once you have loaded into the game, you will see a line in the console like this: [Message:Fast Loading Screen] Benchmark complete, loading completed in 12.72s.
Now, exit back to the main menu and load into the same save (or a new game) again without holding Left Ctrl. The performance boosters will be enabled, and at the end of the loading screen the console should read output similar to the following: [Message:Fast Loading Screen] Loading completed in 7.41s, vs. unboosted benchmark of 12.72s. [Message:Fast Loading Screen] Improvement of 5.31s.
If you chose not to enable the BepInEx console, you can now read your outputs in the LogOutput.log file found in the Subnautica\BepInEx folder.
By the way, those aren't made up numbers in the sample logs above, those are from one of my average benchmarks. My loading times are almost cut in half!
