DD7to9 crash upon entering a race in London Racer World Challenge

[Malvage]

When using DXWrapper, the game works perfectly fine until the car selection menu, however, upon entering a race, after the "intro cinematic" plays, the game freezes just before the start of the race. This only happens with DXWrapper installed. I'm going to attach the log file, in hopes that a fix might be possible. Thank you.

dxwrapper-wr.log

A clarification, in the log, "Cannot load custom library: ddraw_opt.dll" appears, it's not part of the game's files, it was a custom DLL I tried to load through LoadCustomDllPath, in hopes of a quick and dirty fix, however having it loaded or not, didn't change the outcome of the freezing behavior, nor did it change the consequent errors in the log. I had just forgotten to remove the custom DLL load from the .ini, after removing the custom DLL from the directory. I also tried playing with compatibility settings, which did not do anything. The log was taken with all the settings set to their default, except LoadCustomDllPath

You can try with the latest dev build. I put some fixes in that might help in this case. Otherwise, I will need to debug it myself. Here is the build you can try: dxwrapper.zip

Yeah, just loading a dll into memory will likely not change anything, unless the dll has code to hooks the APIs. This dll's APIs would need to be when DirectDraw API's are called for anything to happen.

I just tried it out, unfortunately the issue still remains, same as before. I'll post the log again in case there is some detail I'm missing that might give some clues as to what's happening
