Running on ultra, everything maxed out.
Distant drowners can be now seen in the air, they fall down if I swim close enough to them tho.
I'm guessing one of the under the hood performance "tweaks" to increase performance?

I had this happen on patch 1.03. Maybe the new patch exacerbated the problem, but it could definitely happen before.

Yeah, I just hand't seen this one before, so my assumption was "1.04"
Anyway, happens a lot to me now, pretty much every time i get close to the sea I see them making their griffin impressions.
