CIT fix
Could not draw vehicle reflection shader
Turn the reflection effect off in /settings.
The message
Could not draw vehicle reflection shader
Steps
Turn off the reflection effect
Type /settings, open Graphics > VISUAL EFFECTS, find Car Reflection Shader and set it to 999. The number is the FPS needed to switch the effect on, and CIT's maximum is 144 FPS, so 999 keeps it off.
Ask General Support if it stays
If the error still appears with the effect off, post the exact message on the General Support / Questions board.
