i've pretty much experienced what i think you guys call the jelly-water effect right from the start. nothing seems to get rid of it and while it doesn't show up in external view when the viewpoint isn't moving, it becomes visible again as soon as you start moving the camera (not just tilting or pitching).
So i guess the effect is dependent on the movement of the camera in relation to the water - the faster it's moving the more apparent it becomes.
if i knew a bit more about it i'd got through the vertex shaders myself. i suspect in the process of calculating all the vertex deformations that create the waves there is a small bug or maybe an error while rounding one variable.
