Trees gone

[The Cheese]

Yes, I've deleted that. Still stutters considerably.

A clarification I just observed:
I can change the tree quality however I want, the trees remain and there's maybe a tiny bit less stuttering on Very Low quality. Changing land shading to Low also made the stuttering slightly less.

But as soon I knock down Land Detail from High to Medium, all my trees are gone. I dunno if this is supposed to happen, but it does. I suppose I should test these things out on my desktop. The only way I've gotten trees back is by using the Repair Microsoft .NET client 4 and then reinstall the game's DirectX package trick, and then the trees return.

Even without the trees, the game still stutters, to an extent where it's playable, or at least I can land a plane, but it's still obnoxious.

I never had such stuttering problems before the final patch came out on steam.
