Quick troubleshooting checklist

  1. Game crashes after install → remove last installed mod, verify game files.
  2. Missing car/track in menus → confirm folder name and structure match original.
  3. Textures missing or pink/black → check DDS format and mipmaps; ensure files not corrupt.
  4. Sound issues → verify sound pack installed to correct folder and not overridden.
  5. Slow FPS on new track → lower LOD, disable extra shaders, test one graphics setting at a time.
