İ played with 2010 until 2037 and only prob ever was one stage in California (Big bear lake) now i seem to find my dark stage in 2012.
With two different careers in the second season the game crashes on loading the hilly 7th stage Virael-Terraros (or something alike).
Second season variant of vuelta
Now if you play this stage in tour or single race mode it works.
Unfortunately in career the only way to pass here is sim.
Thats too bad coz my climbers loose up to 10 min but if you would play this you get them neatly in the main bunch to the finish, so you kinda loose the vuelta to this bug.
Hope someone can look into it
İ have latest patch and pcm daily (offcourse)
i play normal and had not a single 3d crash up till now.
pcm 2012 and the stage is Teruel - Vinaroz.
7th stage (classification hilly) Vuelta second season variant
career mode, pcm daily db, latest patch
No other race so far had a problem.
Starts loadingscreen and crashes after 10 sec during loading
In 2 different careers same problem.
Has this problem appeared with other players ?
Sorry for the confusing way of of asking.

Well, there is actually something different about this stage. When re-exporting the stages to PCM12, it might happen that one stage or another crashes upon loading, and thus can't be re-exported. In stage 7 of this Vuelta variant, that happened. Since in single player the stage worked fine and we couldn't see any 'abnormality' (like bad AI or something like that), it was kept this way.
Anyway, you could try replacing the stage files. Just copy a similar stage files and name them "top_vuelta_07_v1-roturn-2005", in Program Files/Cyanide/PCM12/CM_Stages.
Just as a follow up : Roturns Vuelta Variant has a couple stage that create problems for me for some reason. Allready being in 2015 it´s basically the only Variant that gives me problems, in adition to the mentioned stage the ITT to Llloret goes veeeeery slowly (lots of hickups) and another hilly stage directly before the Covadonga Stage (from or to Burgos, can´t remember right now) won´t start at all.
Concerning the stage that won't start, I believe you mean stage 12, Logroño - Burgos (actually flat with a couple of climbs). That one is the same case as stage 7: the editor didn't like exporting it and crashed, so we used the PCM11 version as well. However, in another attempt I could export the stage fine, so at least the stage 12 bug will be gone in the next version As for stage 7, if it indeed crashes everytime we'll either try to re-export, or replace the stage with a similar or re-do it, but it's something that should be fixed in the next version.
On the Lloret ITT, no idea what could cause it.. perhaps too much water? I haven't taken a look in the stage but too much water gives a considerable amount of lag.
