Hi guys I just wanna ask u guys a question. This confuses me quite a bit since my fps dropped quite significantly to around 35-47 fps when I enter a few specific areas with seamoth. But when i'm on my seaglide (no vehicle), my fps is topped at 70 and it doesn't come down no matter what. I assume this will happen too on cyclops since that was my experience before power nap update. I made new game since and have not obtained cyclops blueprint.
The curious thing is my friend has an amd r9 270x and said to experience no fps drop whatsoever. Though he spent a very short time with a seamoth (he did not know that seamoth is constructed from mobile vehicle bay, he went to fabricator and did not find seamoth so he used seaglide for the majority of the game, nearly all).
My gpu used to be gtx 670 with a 2 gb vram, and subnautica hit that ceiling, so i thought the fps drop must be coming from my vram being capped. Now I had a completely new rig, gtx 1080, 8 gb vram, and it still goes below 60 fps (in a seamoth moreover).
Any1 have the same experience of this kind of fps dive?
Also, I'm experiencing motion sickness from the seamoth, maybe because the fps is choppy but i think mainly because its steering isn't like normal person view. I played a lot of fps and fighter plane games and never experience motion sickness. This is the first time for me
Any1 else having this? I just wish that the devs made the controls a bit more like a normal person view.

The fps drop only occurs when i'm going full speed or turning. Interestingly it never happens on safe shallows and kelp forest, only on grassy plateaus and beyond. Curiously enough it's only behaving like that when i'm in the seamoth.
Also I am not sure what you mean about steering as it is exactly the same as without a vehicle for me (WASD, ctrl to descend, space to ascend)
No, I am referring to the responsiveness of the control of the looks (the way your character's PoV changes) is not synchronized with the seamoth itself. Sometimes you can see left and right of the seamoth a little bit more when you turn. When driving cyclops, it feels a lot more stiff compared to seamoth.
I am pretty sure the devs made it like this on purpose, but for what purpose I do not know. Maybe it's to add realistic feeling when you're driving a submarine. I mean, if a submarine responded immediately to the mouse movement, it will look really hideous on other player's PoV on multiplayer (flippin cyclops? You have got to be kidding me)
Yes, maybe it's the matter of loading speed from the SSD, so it does not matter how fast is your CPU, RAM, or GPU when you're bottlenecked at the SSD itself. My FPS dropped despite my CPU usage being at 43%, my GPU at 24% and my ram is not even breaking a sweat. I have not checked the storage usage, maybe it's 100% capped all the time playing this, I'll check it out and update.
As for the storage usage i mentioned earlier, there is no way to track the disk usage for now. I'll try downloading hd-tune (hdd and ssd utility tool) and track the usage.
The thing is no mans sky took a lot of heat over framerate and yet subnautica as it stands right now is actually worse. This has me concerned . like the game engine is over stressed and you know what they say when the foundation is bad.
