Let Asobo know we want the water/ocean back the way it was in 1.8.3.
Please Asobo - restore the water/ocean/waves to the way they were in 1.8.3.
The new “waves” are extremely unrealistic and water was MUCH better before the 1.9.3 patch.

Have to agree with that. Not sure if this was intentional or a bug introduced after the latest update.

This is the wrong category, you can’t vote on your topic.
But i vote against, it looks better for me now.

Interestingly, if you look back through older posts, the exact same thing was said of the 1.8.3 waves, and they wanted to go back to patch #1, 1.7.30(?). I fully expect the same thing to happen when Patch #4 is released.

I posted this pic also in another thread. It’s from today. I don’t know what they are talking about. (Rhine) I guess many has never seen reality 
it’s much more realistic than before.

I can’t honestly remember the difference? But I don’t mind the water now, I think it looks fine.

I agree. Real life water is often murky and dark.

I have to disagree - the water looks better for the most part this patch. Reflections were dulled a bit too much though.

Turn down the wind. The awful wave pattern is with calm seas.

I agree the water still looks pretty good when there is wind/choppy water. Turn down the winds and you will see the awful repeating wave pattern.

Try turning down the winds. With calm seas the unrealistic repeating wave pattern is evident.

That’s real weather. Why I should down the wind? Also if it’s calm it looks real, also your picture. Your issue seem to be that you have never seen the sea at this hight in real. So you don’t know how reality looks like.

If you want to see the water shader problem, you need calm seas.
Do you get the repetitive wave pattern from my screenshot? Maybe it’s my install.
Check out the repetitive rolling wave pattern.
Everything looks fine when you are close to the surface but from altitude it looks quite artificial.
From high altitude, the ocean should look completely flat, you do not see these undulations in real life.

I agree, even with calm seas. Way too overdone reflections in the old. Not everything will reflect at any time of the day at any angle.
