Issues fixed

Game won't start in Windows 10

Install DirectPlay
Press `⊞ Win`+`R` to open Run command, type `OptionalFeatures.exe` and press `↵ Enter`. Expand "Legacy Components". Make sure DirectPlay is checked. Click OK to save your changes. If DirectPlay wasn't installed before, reboot after the installation.

No music during races

Game music is loaded from the CD, so you need to either mount an image or play with the disc inserted.

Playing from the original disc can cause the game to crash at launch. See fix below

Game crashes when debuting adventure

On modern computers, this crash is due to the ESCAPE video codec used by cutscenes.

An easy fix is to bypass it by renaming files.

Rename `movie` files
Go to `<path-to-game>`. Open the `movie` folder. Rename `intro.rpl` and `credits.rpl`. Run the game.

Game crashes at launch

Also due to the ESCAPE video codec.

Rename or delete video files on disc
Make a backup image of your CD, preferably as `.iso`. Open the image with an ISO Editor (AnyBurn is free). In the ISO Editor, go to `\Setup\WDWRacing\cd\movie` and delete `crylogo.rpl`, `dislogo.rpl`, `eidos.rpl`. Save the edited `.iso` as a new file. Mount the new `.iso` and run the game.

Issues unresolved

No cutscenes after fix

Renaming cutscenes files prevents them from being loaded. The ESCAPE codec isn't properly supported by newest GPUs. The version used in this game is ESCAPE 130.

It is possible to watch .rpl cutscenes with RPL Player, however the executable must be run in 16 bit color mode using Windows compatibility options.
