Using a PRAWN grappling arm when autosave happens glitches the PRAWN, forcing you to reload the game #13

Hi, so I've had this bug happen to me about 15 times now and as one of my friends started playing Subnautica again I asked him to try this mod to see if the bug was just with my game, but she also experienced this bug, plus it's repeatable I can force the bug to happen every time.

[The Bug] If you're operating the PRAWN suit and happen to use one of the grappling arms at the same time the autosave happens, it causes the suit to become bugged and unusable. You can't use either of the arms no matter what attachments are on it and you can't even exit the thing. The only thing that works is the movement so you can still walk and jump, but that's it. So, if you're deep in a cave you have no way to get back up and you can't exit the PRAWN, forcing you to either save and quit the game to reload or hope you can walk to something that forces you to exit the PRAWN like docking with the Cyclops or Moonpool, or get close to a Warper and it will warp you out. Once out the PRAWN works fine again.

[To Reproduce The Bug] Simply attach one of the grappling arms and either be in the middle of firing it or grabbing onto something as the save happens where the game freezes for a split second.

As said, I've had this happen repeatedly almost every other time I've played, I've also tested without other mods, and now one of my friends tried it and got the same bug.

Let me know if you need more info. Hope this helps.

Ah man I'm happy to see this (well not happy but you get my point). I thought it was just me as when I checked the comments last week no one else had reported this.

I have experienced this exact bug/glitch countless times as I use the Prawn 99% of the time and when concentrating I frequently miss the 30 second warning so this bug gets me all the damn time.

If this bug physically can't be fixed if it's something to do with the game itself like the physics doing crazy when you load into the game inside a seamoth, then can I suggest a large font for the 30 second warning or move it to a more central position on screen? Just an idea.
