I played carreers beyond 2nd season before without any problems. But now I'm all set for my second season but can't ride any 3D race.
Specs:
FDJ, carreer mode, my first 3D-race of the 2nd season
race loads (dos Santos), the director waves his flag and between 1 and 5 seconds later the game crashes
I use the expansion DB (and patches), but never changed it manually
I looked around on the forums and tried all of the following:
set graphics to minimum
when trying to ride the as a single race (the same variant) instead of in carreer mode: it works
quicksim works, but then when trying to 3D the next race: same issue
camera in helicopter view: still crashes
selecting my own and other riders before the start: doesn't crash any earlier, but once gave a full blue screen (all riders seemed to have normal shirts on)
selected different riders and no doctor for the race: still crashes
I can only assume there's something wrong with the carreer DB, but I have no idea where exactly to look. Any ideas? Thanks a lot.
Don't think I've heard something like that before. The last idea for fiddling with options would be to turn off the replay. Otherwise... maybe simulate this race and see if the next one works?
I feared that'd be the case, it certainly excludes a lot of the usual problems. Hmm, my last desperate idea: Since last season was ok you might want to load an old weekly save - maybe just before the transfers are made (25th of October) and then simulate until the first race and try again.
Sorry, I'm out of ideas. I fear it has something to do with the expansion DB which I don't use. You could post your save game and maybe somebody can check it with an editor.
