Downloaded the release_dev branch. I will update on the next major FPS drop/crash - thanks Dennis

FPS went from 80-100 to 7-15.Turning and looking in different directions seems to make it go up and down, but only in the 7-15 range.

Thanks. The profiler shows some problems with shadows. Could you please now do following

1. Check if shadow quality have impact on that
2. Record a video of using command /DisableObjects command to see if some particular objects have bigger impact on that (with options /DisableObjects trees, worldobjects, rubbles, animals)

Seems that changing the shadow settings from max to min helps the problem, but FPS still doesn't go as high as it was before. When using the lowest shadow setting, it seemed that the problem did not occur - though potentially more time playing with the lowest shadow setting is necessary.

Using /disableobjects seemed not to help the FPS, as you can see in the video. I did the 4 options you said with it.

It seems that looking into the ocean, where there are little/no shadows helps FPS, and also looking directly into the sky (not recorded) also helps. As soon as I look in the direction of, or at any of the land or buildings, the FPS suddenly drops again.

After spending more time with the shadows set to the lowest setting, this issue does not occur. Definitely the shadows.
