z-fighting and other flaws

I absolutely love this game and it's a shame that they have never been able to fix the texture issues on mac. Z-fighting, especially in the cyclops, is so disruptive to the whole experience. With the latest update I have also noticed that you can see the inner textures right through the cyclops. Other than that, everything works fine overall, except for the extreme lag I experience in my base. At times the stuttering keeps me from moving. I am also worried that these issues will continue in below-zero.

For me the quality of the water surface suffered too. I decided to go back to the old version.

Below Zero has less problems. Or rather, had. The current experimental doesn't work on the Mac (or didn't when I tried it a day or two ago).
I'm also disappointed by the direction the whole game takes, compared to Subnautica. But that is a completely different topic.

I have the same problems with my cyclops, plus the ocean surface has a blocky looking texture. I didn't have these problems when I first got the game a while back, but since the latest update numerous glitches and bugs have arisen. Hopefully the devs will fix at least some of these in the next update.

Yeah, I noticed the blotchy water surface texture... Overall, I had no problems other than the extreme lag in my base, which is slightly lessened by decreasing the quality of graphics but then the game suffers in immersiveness. It's funny how updates often end up making a game worse.

The sad thing for mac is it was just fine before the most recent round of updates.Textures were good as well as frame rates.Should have let the mac version be.
