NFS Unbound Fix 1.1.0

New in 1.1: less stutter. The fix now targets the actual cause of the startup crash instead of switching off the game's shader pre-building. The game starts normally and keeps pre-building its shaders, so there's less stutter while you play.

• Already using the original fix? Drag in your game folder and click Update Fix.
• The first launch after fixing can take a little longer while shaders are pre-built.
• Undo Fix puts the original game file back exactly, whether you have the new fix or the original one.

So far this new fix has been tested on one Mac (M3 Max) with Steam build 16690907 in CrossOver with D3DMetal. If anything looks wrong, like missing cars or textures or freezes, click Undo Fix and please open an issue.
