+// From 1.6.1179 on, the renderer function that frees a BSGraphics::Texture (AE id 77322) calls
+// Release() twice on each of its three D3D11 objects: once in the original sequence, then again
+// in what looks like an inlined destructor. The texture loader takes one reference per object,
+// so the second batch underflows. D3D11 usually defers the destruction of an object that a
+// pending command list still references, which is why the second call normally lands on live
+// memory. When the runtime frees the object at once, the game crashes in this function with
+// `call [rax+0x10]` on a zeroed vtable. The patch jumps over the second batch.
