Description:
The FPS drop only occurs when i'm piloting said vehicle. I usually have about 50-60FPS, but recently whenever i begin exploring with my Seamoth the FPS drops down to 30, sometimes even 20 FPS or less. The weird part about it? Whenever i leave the vehicle the FPS jumps up to 60 again. At first i assumed it was the game loading in the next section of the map, buuut apparently that wasn't the case because as soon as i enter the Seamoth again the FPS goes down to 20-30. Perhaps making a new Seamoth could be a temporary fix, i cannot tell. But even so, eventually i would encounter the same problem.
Did anyone else experience this weird FPS glitch/bug?

Now I get a huge chug every 3 seconds, it makes the game almost unplayable.
Worse, it happens outside the vehicle too after a while playing.
The game doesn't seem even slightly optimised, which I'd find perfectly acceptable with a game in EA usually, but it's especially frustrating because a month ago the game ran 100% fine. I could fly around in the Seamoth for hours with great FPS.
And to add to that, recent patch notes claim FPS improvements...
Well, after writing this I decided to check out a few things on my PC to see if I could help things.
Turns out this was completely my own fault, I had some driver problems due to a recent update for my graphics card meaning that running the game in high quality was too much for it to handle.
The game is actually running smooth as ever before now I've worked out what the problem was and remedied it. FPS is fine for me other than the usual loading new areas chug.
I can only apologise for this mistake, mods can even delete my posts if they wish.
Perhaps the four upgrades could 'somehow' be the cause of the issue, i cannot tell. When the Seamoth was 'fresh', without any upgrades the FPS was always smooth so i can only assume that making a new one could be a temporary fix. I understand that the game is still in development and that bugs like this may occur. I was just curious if i was the only one with this issue or if others were experiencing it as well.
The persistent FPS bug with the Seamoth is probably the biggest frustration I have with the game, because as you said, everything else runs swimmingly all the time.

Honestly, the issue was slightly annoying at first. You know, FPS going down to 30-20, game was still playable but not really enjoyable. But this is really getting ridiculous now:
FPS when i'm outside the Seamoth
And then there is this...
Notice how it took me a few seconds to take the first snapshot (Yes, the 5 FPS one was taken firstly). That's because once i leave the Seamoth it takes about 4 to 5 seconds for the FPS to recover.
I tested the performance with all 3 settings, and the results are literally the same every single time i try piloting the Seamoth.
Highest settings: 45~55FPS. Drops down to 5~10
Recommended: 50~60FPS Again, 5~10 FPS
Minimum: 60FPS+ Oh, wait!... Never mind, drops down to 5~10FPS again.
@EnglishInfidel what did you actually tweak in your drivers?
Sorry for the late reply.
If I remember correctly I'd simply rolled back my drivers about a year whilst trying to get a beta driver working. Nothing tweaked, I just forgot to update them after playing around.
