After changing few areas on the island FPS drop do 3-15 from 60 and becomes unplayable.
This is happening on Linux with both Vulkan and OpenGL.

Similar issue with degrading performance over time. I play as client on a multiplayer server, solid 60FPS (VSYNC on) for about 30 - 45 minutes, then it degrades slowly to 50, 45, ... and so on. Possibly a memory leak?
- Relogging fixes the issue for the next 30 - 45 minutes

Also helps if you disable unredirect fullscreen windows - however after some time, the game starts to crawl to a halt and becomes a stuttering mess as if there's a memory leak and I have to restart the game.
