Update: I have managed to run the game with wi-fi on. Steps to follow:

  • Wipe completely.

  • Make a fresh install. Do not run the game yet.

  • Turn off wi-fi or use airplane mode.

  • Run the game now. See the underwater background.

  • Visit Settings > Profile > Auto Update Unlocked Packs

  • Set this value to Off

  • Close the game. Turn wi-fi back on. Re-run the game.

  • Profit.

This setting seems to prevent downloading some default resource packs, which seem to break the game. As long as "auto update" setting is turned off, the game keeps working with wi-fi on. I didn't test how this would affect other online functions though.

If you are affected by this issue, you know your game is broken if you see the beach landscape instead of the underwater landscape in the main menu.

Can confirm the observations here.

After the update, the main menu had severe framerate issues to the point of being almost unusable. It seems that the FPS problem is caused by the very detailed beach landscape displayed behind the menu.

Loading or creating a world always resulted in looking at an unmoving progress bar (for too long) with a good chance of crashing right to desktop.

Uninstall the game along with all worlds, do a fresh reinstall, face the same situation. Menu laggy. High chance to crash upon loading.

Uninstall the game again, do another fresh reinstall, but disable the wifi before launching game.

The landscape behind the menu is different this time (some undersea environment). Framerate is ok, menu is responsive. Creating or loading a world takes mere seconds, progress bar works, there are no crashes, and the actual gameplay is smooth as butter.

Close game, enable wifi, launch again. Get presented with the 1.5.1 hotfix announcement. Menu background shows the beach again. Heavy FPS drops, unable to load worlds, CTD.

Close game, disable wifi, launch again. Still broken.

Apparently, whatever is being downloaded at the first launch messes up the game beyond repair. Only solution is to wipe, reinstall and always play with wifi off.
