(HELP) Chevrolet Trophy Race Bug

[LAWreano1998]

Can you guys help me?

This race does not start it freezes on the start count. Only at this race it happens.

My game is cracked vanilla and patched to 2.00. My game is original DVD but I cracked it because my case doesn't have DVD bay and it sucks to mount.

You can try reinstalling the game completely

Hi! Have you been able to resolve this issue? Reinstalling the game did not fix it for me

I've tried tweaking a lot of options on dgVoodoo, lowering resolution and framerate, using older physical graphics card and changing HD patch settings. Nothing works
Every time one of the cars doesn't spawn and the game softlocks

Check your system for viruses with any antivirus scanner to do this, download any antivirus scanner, then scan your system for viruses in safe mode, remove them if viruses are detected, and then restart your computer in normal mode and run tdu

dgVoodoo has multiple DirectX version settings and none of them worked

Perhaps an incompatible mod is installed in your game, which causes a similar problem, try disabling incompatible software such as Xfire, Steam, MSi afterburner

is the chevrolet ssr  the problem

had this issue myself, and took some time to read what Djey's community patch is actually doing to the game,

Djey's community patch adds large amounts of "empty car slots" into the game for you to quickly install custom car mods into these "empty car slots" and instantly available to use the second you launch the game, it never contained the actual custom car files themselves, and was never meant to contain them in the first place, only empty placeholder files and car slot datas that was edited into the game's core files,

which leads to the issue; the game tries to spawn in the opponants with empty placeholder Chevrolets that has no actual files (models/audio/hud) yet, resulting to the infinite wait time for the opponants cars to spawn into the race, the solution is to fill the empty placeholder files with pre-existing car files that aren't empty or with the corresponding actual custom cars files themselves (which i don't know where to get), there are two empty Chevrolets car slots with a bunch of files that needs to be filled for this race to work, specifically "C6_SNG", "C6_SNG_I", "C6_SNG_F_01", "C6_SNG_audio", "Corv_63" and "Corv_63_I" in the following game directory locations: (Euro\Bnk\Vehicules) (Euro\Bnk\Vehicules\Rim\Chevrolet) (Euro\Bnk\Sound\Vehicules) (Euro\Bnk\FrontEnd\HiRes\Gauges) (Euro\Bnk\FrontEnd\LowRes\Gauges), in my case i replaced C6_SNG with an copy of C6_Z06, and Corv_63 with the Corv_69, luckily you can do this without any sort of tools, unlike TDU2 that requires unpacking the game, and you can also check what other files are placeholders by checking their file size (0 KB), or just look at the car files that are in Djey's community patch, most of them are placeholder files with 0 KB in file size.

looks like this patch isn't meant for people that just wants to play the game without hassle with game files and mods, but people put it into repacks without memos or notes anyway, and users looking for community bug fixes uses it without knowing what the patch actually does, and i don't know if there are other races with this issue as well yet.

additional note: i'm not sure which variants of Corvette C6 and 1963 Corvette the placeholder files was meant for originally, and i'm interested to install all those cars that had placeholders for in the patch into the game, if anyone knows where to get those actual custom cars (if they exists) with slots opened in the community patch, feel free to send a PM, thank you.
