I started playing this game on version 2025.11.4.2791 and everything worked great. I got around 50-60FPS consistently in almost all scenarios. After then downloading the most recent patch (2025.11.8.2847) the performance is absolutely horrible when oceans are enabled. If the oceans are enabled I get around 3 FPS which seems to be caused by my GPU being at 100%. As soon as I disable the ocean in the settings, the performance is suddenly great.

I recorded changing the setting in both versions and here are the videos:
2025.11.4.2791
2025.11.8.2847
I'm sorry for the really horrible FPS but that is just the OBS not being able to capture the full FPS of the game.
Instead of looking at the video I recommend looking at the FPS value in the top left corner.

You can see from the videos that turning off/on the ocean in the 11.4 version doesn't change the performance at all but when I do it in the 11.8 version it changes things A LOT.
 
I'm seeing this as well! Oceans on and orbiting earth: 15-20 fps. Oceans off, 30-40.
