Strange CTD issue: With some mods, only when watching AI cars during practice

[Manuel-Germany]

Hey!

As a Race07 player, you usually have a number of mods running.

I ran into a very strange CTD issue:
Some mods are fine, now problems at all. But when you are in the practice session, and you watch AI cars over monitor, some of the download cars cause an CTD.
It only happens when you watch exactlty the download car, and always exactly when it passes "your watch position".
I wonder if it is the 3D model or the sound...

Not all download cars have this issue, only a few (maybe 30%).

What makes it even more strange: It never happens when you follow such an car in a race, for example, or even if you watch a replay and such a "problem car" ist also seen in the replay.

Anybody ran into this issue?
Or do you never watch the AI anyway...

I'm very curious about the reason "why" and what causes this type of CTD.

Never seen this, before.. In over ten years.
Is this it in all Tracks ?
.. or car (car class) specific ?

try to disable backfires

Good question with the tracks...
I really only used Brno 2010 to check new downloaded cars, but it also appered on other tracks as well. Just tested it.
For example, the Bentley Continental GT mod by PetraGTC (download is not from racedepartment) - the car itself is fine, you can drive it, you can race against it, you can see it in replays.
But if you are in a practice session (one or two), if you watch the AI drive the Bentley - it will crash to desktop after a while, usually when passing "your spectator position".

I really find it so strange, as it makes no sense to me.

Will try to turn of backfires...

The reason why I ran into this: As I said, after I downloaded a mod, I usually let the AI drive the training session and just watch how the car looks like on track.
You would never see any trouble if you just use the car for driving...

Sorry, no Brno2010 & your Bentley.
I can not test it...
What if, Bentley C.... _Backfire.wav is missing... (elaborating, now..)
[Edit found it on Race Injection.]

Also happens for exaple here:
BTCC13 V.1 Mod from Giangiorm, running on the official Monza 2006, watching the VW Golf driving.

Again, if you do not monitor the AI, you can use the mod with no problems.

Will remain a strange issue, and maybe the problem is much deeper into the game itself, as again, if you drive the VW Golf by yourself and watch replays - no problems, everything is fine.

the backfire problem seems not always be related to missing files
sometimes a valid GTR2 backfire GMT will crash R07
