Support for DL

I hope there is still support for DL since I don't have DA and TA yet. I was working with some files of my mod, clearly from the debug screen you can see all the files are not matching. But when I press on "New Game" the game totally crashes and one time I had to manually cut the power for the computer to shut it down because the shut down button on the actual mechine wasn't responding. It all turned black and I had nothing to do. Only sometimes after a while I managed to Ctrl-Alt-Del and get the Debug.

Of course, when I disable mods the game works fine. I was wondering what did I do wrong? I doubled checked and everything was fine. I worked on the Raceconfig XML just before running the game. I suppose the problem is there but I don't see it. Thanks for all the help, much appreciated.
