Has there been a fix for this? I can play about 15-20 minutes then I get intense lag...usually happens when a Stalker is coming at me. Yay 
I love lagging so much I wind up going from 100% health to around 20%. This was right after I decided to start a New Game (survival without hunger or thirst, think it was freedom) something like that. Play on Creative and I dont have nearly as much lag...so what gives?

Well that's great, but what are we supposed to do in the meantime? Close our eyes and pretend we aren't lagging horribly??? There is a lot of things they can do to make the game more compatible with Xbox One. I mean, look at ESO. Look at Star trek Online. They have about 10x the stuff that Subnautica does, but for some reason they have lag but not as much as what I've seen in this game. Oh well looks like back to another 3-4 months of not playing to come back to the same stuff again
Firstly, you're playing an in-development game. Normally, the game would be behind closed doors and you would not see a game at this stage of development. I can safely say that most games at this stage in closed development, run bad. Performance is not normally a focus until near the end of development, as things get added that slow down the game, and constantly optimizing would take all of the programmers time and the game would not progress.
Secondly, we cant just 'stop adding content' - we have a diverse team who all need to keep working. The Artists can only do minimal work towards performance, and we have work for them to do. We need them to keep moving, you don't want staff sitting around doing nothing.
Thirdly, we've recently hired a programmer specifically doing performance work on the game, while everyone else is continuing what they are doing. We've also scheduled 3 months of performance work once virtually all the art is in the game, and we're 'content complete'. This will allow our programmers to really iterate very fast on performance now that they don't have to fight against new content being added and constantly playing catch-up.
There is no magic wand. Only lots of hard work. By buying an Early Access/Game Preview, you're agreeing to come on the journey and understand that the game isn't done and there are issues. We understand it's frustrating, but submitting bug reports and places where framerate hurts the most online helps us a lot to get the game running better. We're in this with the players who want to help. If you're getting frustrated, I suggest you wait for 1.0 before playing again.
Thank you! This is SO good to hear. It's so frustrating to be kept in the dark and it's extremely useful and appreciated when developers flat out tell people A) They are aware of a problem and
Also with massive seabases. It helps to build up and down more than outward.
Maybe my hardware just agrees with Subnautica more than other peoples'. But it probably helps that I used to play games on a crappy prebuilt Walmart computer that could barely get me 30fps in Half-Life 2, so I'm a little desensitized to low frames, heh.
