Here's a bug I keep knocking on.

When I start a game (Whether MV or sandbox), some times I'm not satified with some settings and/or start location (Never complain about starting bonuses).

I those cases, I go back to the main menu and recheck/modify some settings and hit the next button and choose my race (The thalans) and hit next again and there the game hang. On the race overview screen. The game freeze and Vista pop a TDR error and then most of the time GC2 will crash on desktop w/o any special notices in the debug.err.

I have the latest version of the nVidia drivers (Beta 163.15). Installed Smart exceptions too, but nothing pop-up in there either. No dump created or anything.

Any clues?

Here's the Debug.err start for "proof" of drivers and ect.:
