Read this thread to give useful information to Asobo: Suggestion to community when we give bug feedback to Asobo - how we can help Asobo track bugs better so they fix it faster - #20 by CptLucky8
Saying the water is better on release versus this patch is vague and not helpful. The programmers at Asobo won’t be able to fix the problem.
I didn’t take screenshots on the release of the game but for me, the water in this patch is about the same as the release (see the problem when I don’t have screenshots to prove it?)
