Tried another client? This sounds like you might be using a very old DDRace client, that's the only one I can remember having this bug. Try DDNet client at least. Try removing all Lockdown maps in downloadedmaps.

Are you using the most recent version of DDNet client? Does your computer have a very low amount of free memory? Do you have thousands of skins installed?

Got it to work Thanks Deen i re downloaded all the things deleted the old and replaced it, Everything was fine so it might have been skins had over 1K of them (dont understand how that would affect it but it did :/)

One thing though

Skins take up memory, so if you're low on memory already and load a huge map with many layers, your client will crash.

The white thing I think I've seen before. Might be some setting like gfx_finish, gfx_noclip, gfx_quad_as_triangle or so. Not sure.
