It was probably the rain. That causes lots of crashes.

I solved the crash problem in rain by removing water_plane.xml, it's probably caused by the mirroring effect of the water and interaction with the rain. The water is now black but it's still better than crashing every  time I get into rain in bdroad1, bdroad2 or ojaroad2. Also it removes lagging near water caused by the mirroring effect so it's worth of try, even the black water looks strange.

Yeah removing the XML file solved the probllem thanx a lot ....that severe lag and crashes near reflection implemented zone discouraged me to move between those areas alot ...now I can explore wole of yulakum without any worries \\o//

another problems plaguing me from sometime though ...even if I keep the settings completely high I still get bland textures like I have on the lowest settings ...it wasnt like this before but one day when I started the game it was like this ...now since I wont have to worriy about the reflection lag I can keep the settings high but cannot seem to  :'(

Try to delete file names shadercache in your settings directory (it's in the same location as planeshift.cfg). When it's problem with outdated shaders (and these are not recognized by game engine), it should help because they will be recalculated again. I needed to do it with latest update because I didn't see textures for outer maps (not black, just 100% transparent). Deleting shadercache and restarting psclient afterwards solved it.
Also check whether you don't have allowed background world loading, it can cause problems with graphics too, often around portals but not only there.
