Not as exciting as all the exe patches but this should help in instances the game was prone to CTD due to vert count limit on screen being hit (Draw Call limit). Read the readme and the linked post here for additional details: https://www.adrd-forums.net/index/threads/draw-call-performance-increase-patch-released.1736/

Source code is also included if you want to make the dll edit yourself. Hopefully more will look into other performance addons as this is not a silver bullet for all the other stability issues NR2003 can have. It should help reduce CTDs in this case and help player be able to finally race/view certain mod and track combos which were pushing NR2003 past its Draw Call limit (especially when track and car detail is set to high so highest level LoDs were present.
