- Save editor shows “invalid car heat value” on load
- Game crashes or refuses to load the save
- Edited car disappears or behaves oddly in-game
- Workaround: Use a generic car slot (e.g., a standard Alfa Romeo Brera), set the Heat to the desired level manually in the hex editor, and then change the Car ID string to the Exclusive car ID. Ensure the Upgrade flag is set to
00(Stock) initially to prevent physics crashes.

- Game crashes or freezes: On load, the game may attempt to use invalid values in logic (e.g., array indexing, timer math) causing crashes.

- Save corruption: If checksums fail or multiple fields are inconsistent, the entire save may become unusable.
- Multiplayer or leaderboard issues: While Carbon’s primary save use is single-player, some community features or online components may reject modified saves.
