I had a temporarily situation that worked for me regarding the TDU stage 2 crash.
Basically what I did is delete the TDU stage 2 and replace it with Stage 1 (really any other stage would work).

Steps:
-First make sure Cache is cleared and local~.cdb is deleted (my doc/pcm 2008 folder)
-First back up these files:
09_top_downunder_stage_02 AND 09_top_downunder_stage_01
-Go into CM_Stages folder.
-Copy the file, 09_top_downunder_stage_01, to somewhere else and then rename it to: 09_top_downunder_stage_02.
-Then copy 09_top_downunder_stage_02 back to CM_Stages folder
-Then place it back into the CM_Stages folder. Replacing the old TDU stage 2 file
-Run the game

So if you dont mind playing or simulating stage 1 again, then this should work. Hope this works for everyone! Let me know if it doesnt!

Best,
David
