CTD on all mods in GTR2

Got an extensively modded install of GTR2. Lately I get a CTD no matter what mod or track I choose. Last part of trace file follows:

hwinput.cpp  6584: Entered HWInput::Init()
specialfx.cp 3694: Entered SpecialFX::Init()

I've no clue what the issue is. Any ideas?

Try a new player file if that fails the game is corrupt may need to reinstall GTR2.

Backup your gamedata and player file first so you can reinstall them.

No luck with the new player profile. Same result. Oddly enough, I CAN drive any mod, but ONLY on the Reims track, all other tracks I've tried cause a CTD....

Well it seems that some tires are missing, probably the originals from GTR2...

I was able to sort my issues. After some earlier problems with a mod I remembered it was possibly connected to a corrupt specialfx.tec file in the locations folder. I copied the same file over from my P&G install and it seems to have corrected the problem. Thanks to all who responded....

Ah when you mess with the old specialfx.tec file it always gives problems.

I have seen people sharing these specialfx.tec files to correct quicksand issues on track conversions, when the correct way to fix it is by renaming the materials in the tracks GMT's. One case in point was Lost Heaven.

It's not a good way to go when converting tracks.
