Issues fixed

Game won't start in Windows 10

Install DirectPlay
  1. Press Win+R to open Run command, type OptionalFeatures.exe and press Enter.
  2. Expand "Legacy Components".
  3. Make sure DirectPlay is checked.
  4. Click OK to save your changes.
  5. 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 starting Adventure Mode

On modern computers, this crash is due to the ESCAPE video codec used by cutscenes.
Rename movie files
  1. Go to <path-to-game>.
  2. Open the movie folder.
  3. Rename intro.rpl and credits.rpl.
  4. Run the game.

Game crashes at launch

Also due to the ESCAPE video codec.
Rename or delete video files on disc
  1. Make a backup image of your CD, preferably as .iso.
  2. Open the image with an ISO Editor (AnyBurn is free).
  3. In the ISO Editor, go to \Setup\WDWRacing\cd\movie and delete crylogo.rpl, dislogo.rpl, eidos.rpl.
  4. Save the edited .iso as a new file.
  5. 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.
