The patch has fixed the problem of the green sea. While using forest low, I can now have trees and a normal sea. Flying over London pre patch would eventually result in a launcher crash with the "Launcher has encountered a problem" error message. This problem is still present post patch. I dont seem to get this problem over water. I havent tried over country yet. I think this problem is related to memory. Possibly a memory leak as it takes time to manifest itself.
Overall the perfomance seems more fluid but there are still issues with massive slowdowns when coming in to land. Also the option for AA only has one entry in the drop down box - Off. All my testing was done with a resolution off 1200x800 under DX9.
