Steps to Reproduce
Enter the island and buy the boat.
Travel to the island using the boat.
Upon reaching the island, eliminate the villager and press the button to obtain the map.
(Note: It is unclear whether the issue starts after reaching the island directly from the boat or after obtaining the village map, but the issue consistently occurs after this point.)
As you remain in the island, the frame drops progressively worsen. If the player stays for example about 1-2 hours, the frame drops become significant, making the gameplay unplayable.
Expected Result
Smooth gameplay with stable frame rates regardless of the time spent in any section of the island.
Observed Result
Frame rates remain stable initially but start to drop significantly after prolonged time the map. The issue worsens until the game becomes unplayable.
Platform(s)
All platforms (PC, PlayStation, Mobile).
