Game crashes at start of Mission Race "Experimental" I have followed all online posts for fixing crashing, stuttering and FPS drop. Game does not crash in any other race.

I am having similar problems played with the corvet dlc car that cannot be costumized by looks played it until i was lvl 35 then i choosed another car, painted it put decals on it and now the game randonmmly is freezing then its crashing to desktop  this is extremely weird.

Had same issues. Would freeze and crash at the same spot 100% time with my 1996 MX-5. For me the problem seemed to be too many decals. Removing all decals and restarting the game fixed it for me. Played for like 8 hours avoiding too complicated liveries and everything seems to work fine.

This specific bug is all over your forums, on reddit, it's everywhere. Hundreds of people is complaining about it. It needs a fix, asap.
It's really not fun to have heat level 5, 1 mil rep on the counter and hit a CTD race that makes you lose literally everything.

The game will crash probably 70-80% of the time I do a race, any race day or night. If it doesn't crash on the first race it will crash on the second. I've tried looking in the game files for error logs of any sort but couldn't find any, so I can't really give too much information about the crash. People are saying it can be because of customisation but I've had the same car for almost all of my races, it does have a fair amount of decals on it but not anywhere near the maximum and its nothing crazy. I'd just like to report this issue as being something that is happening to at least some of the PC players, it might be due to my specs (doubtful) but I will post here irregardless.
