FPS and stuttering improved with beta patch.

However now getting CTDs which never happened with any previous build. My gut feeling is that they occur when there's a LOD switch and new textures are loaded. But it could just be coincidence and the fault is more general and connected to the new texture manager or something entirely different I don't know, lol, you're the developers!

There were 5 crashes since the patch was installed. I compared each .NET runtime dump with Winmerge and they are identical. Each one shows this:

Enjoying the simulation a lot until these crashes started. Keep the realism!
