Water destroys fps

[notLily]

I am running the game on
 - Intel core i7-8700
 - 32gb of 3200mhz ram
 - Integrated graphics

 - arch linux

 

Flying over water causes my fps to drop from 44 all the way down to 17

Water (and terrain) are GPU intensive, you’ll probably get much better FPS with a dedicated graphics card rather than the integrated one you’re using now. If that isn’t an option, turn down reflection and terrain settings and/or just look up unless you absolutely need to see the ground/water as this boosts frame rates quite a lot.

Terrain isn't causing any lag for me, its only the water

Are you using Scatterer with the water settings maxed out?
