I'm playing on Early Development Build 40062 Oct-2016.
Here are my specs:
Intel Core i7-3820 Quadcore 3,6Ghz
AMD Radeon HD 7970M
8GB DDR3 RAM
Windows 7 64bit
And here's a Pastebin link with my DxDiag just in case: http://pastebin.com/2fhf98Hy
I have done everything in the official troubleshooting guide on Steam (https://steamcommunity.com/app/264710/discussions/0/618460129742231471/), including driver updates and re-installation of the game, but the problem persists.
My problem seems to be that even though I have 8GB of RAM, Subnautica only ever uses 1.5 to 2.0 GB of it. Around 2-3 GB are used for Windows processes and other applications, which means that at any given time while playing, there are about 3-4 GB of RAM available and unused.
As a result, playing Subnautica feels like playing Minecraft with a 32-bit version of Java, i.e. there's heavy stuttering and freezing whenever the game is loading new assets, for example when entering a new biome. It's especially bad when I'm in the Seamoth and moving quickly through the ocean. When I'm moving quickly with the Seamoth and the stuttering/freezing becomes especially bad, the game will often crash as well. Changing any of the graphics settings doesn't seem to change anything about this either.
I've had dozens of crashes already, but here are the log files for the most recent crash: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4Y6G1MFfeWjdEFsZWFzNEFRV0U
