[Insane Sized Map] The Driftless V2.1 [Fixed]

This is a fix for [Insane Sized Map] The Driftless V2.1 [Overhaul] by Storm_Epidemic. ALL credit for the fix goes to Ant.

--- Description from [Insane Sized Map] The Driftless V2.1 [Overhaul] with fixes to spelling and relevancy. ---
A land ravaged by glaciers for millions of years. A lake as large as a sea, with thousands of unique rivers, towns, and types of Sturgeon. Explore the heart of America as you travel across the States of Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota.

Possibly the first Post- Russia Insane Sized map. The map features detailed towns (11 of em) and a HUGE lake (2.8 K across) Camps, Boats out at sea, ship wrecks, Farms, Centipede 80X Research Labs, Custom Clothes, Custom Ambience, Custom materials, and TONS and TONS of secrets!

As stated above this is an insane sized map, which is exactly 4x as large as a large sized map, so basically 4x the size of Russia, with equal amounts of detail.


--- Recommended Settings from [Insane Sized Map] The Driftless V2.1 [Overhaul] for Lower End PCs. ---
The suggested settings are:
Bloom > Off
Chromatic > Off
Film Grain > Off
Clouds > Off (Highly recommended, they annihilate performance)
Terrain Transition > On
Height Fog > ON
(the next couple are all optional)

these next few matter the most to improving performance

Anti-Aliasing > FXAA (TAA is fine too, but i don't suggest it)
Grass Density > Medium (I didn't notice any difference between Medium and Ultra, other than FPS)
Sun Shafts > High
Lighting > High/Ultra
Ambient Occ > Off (Suggested, but DO NOT put it up to High or Ultra)
Water Quality > Medium / High (Ultra DESTROYS performance, seriously don't do it)
Terrain Quality > Ultra
The new trees: With new trees being supported on The Driftless, for low end users DO NOT USE THEM. Use the old tube trees and the map will run as smooth as butter for you guys!

--- Recommended PC Specs from [Insane Sized Map] The Driftless V2.1 [Overhaul] ---
When i mean 'Recommended' i mean that you can get 60+ FPS on high settings on this map. PC's far worse than the recommended can run it on medium settings just fine
4 GB or more of RAM
GTX 600 or higher (I run a GT 730 and i run it fine, i just recommend something better)
At least 70 MB of HDD space (Yes, Really.)
A cpu speed of at least 3.00 GHz


*GENERAL DISCLAIMER*
This map takes a LOOONNG time to load into the game, and yes, it SHOULD freeze your PC at least 2 times while loading, don't worry its normal. It is an Unsupported map size and while i only ran into 1 major bug (Now fixed) i warn you to exit the game normally so in case the game crashes you don't lose anything.

*SERVER DISCLAIMER*
The map is not supported by nelson, the reason he removed it was because it was known as the 'Sever destroyer' meaning servers have a rough time running the map due to it's size. I RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO NOT HOST A LAN SERVER OR ANY OTHER FORM OF SERVER USING THIS MAP ON THE SAME PC YOU ARE USING TO PLAY ON, IT CRASHED MY PC 2 TIMES WHILE TESTING.
