So, as the title suggests - when loading races my client crashes. I've tried reducing the textures back to 4k, turning all graphics to minimum, removing and re-enabling v-sync, removing RAGE from my tweaked Nvidia control panel, setting it to a higher priority for my CPU/RAM, deleting and re-installing the game several times, verified cache from steam, created the cache folder in ...\AppData\Local\id software\rage, deleted game saves and played back through and still having the same issue's. I've updated my Drivers and I'm now stuck on what to try next - does anyone have any other idea's? Or come across this yourself?

My setup;

ASUS Rampage III Extreme
i7 970 (4GHz)
12gb DDR3
Nvidia 480GTX
Windows 7 64bit

Thanks =)
