I'm trying to play Powerslide and I'm experiencing a very frustrating issue. The game runs fine for one race, but when I try to start a second race, the game gets stuck on a blank screen and doesn't start the race. The menu music keeps playing, but the game is completely unresponsive. I can't even open task manager to kill the process (because the window opens behind the blank Powerslide screen) so it forces a hard reset of my system.

The issue does not occur when running in software mode, it only happens when I'm using a 3D hardware mode. Obviously, the game looks like buttcheeks in software mode so I don't consider this an acceptable solution.

System:

Windows 10 64 bit
Intel Core i7-10700
Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Super 8GB
16GB RAM

I've tried pretty much everything I can think of:

- Downloaded the latest version of nGlide and copied the appropriate files into the game folder
- Ran nglide_config.exe and tried pretty much every combination of settings in there
- Opened the game's config/command line options and ticked on various combinations of -forced3d, -forceglide2 and -d3dflip
- Tried different graphics settings within the game itself

Nothing works. The problem just keeps happening regardless of what I try. Game runs fine the first time you do a race, but doesn't work if you select to do a second race (even if it's on the same track in the same game mode).

100% repro:

1. Start game
2. Start a single race
3. Exit the race (or complete it)
4. Start another single race

Expected result:

Race starts and game is playable as normal

Actual result:

Game is stuck on a blank screen and is unresponsive
