I did a fresh Steam install and then added all the same plugins (updated to latest versions) that I have used in the past when the game worked. I launch from RAGE and the RAGE logo appears during boot up like normal but then it gets to the screen where the transparent box is supposed to come up and show "Loading Story Mode" "Loading and Populating Game World" etc - but that box never comes up. It just shows the chick in the bikini background. Then it gives me an error dialog box that says  that I need to reboot and restart RAGE. It generates a RAGE crash report (see below.) HELP!

Have you installed any custom cars? Might be that you've done it incorrectly or a file isn't where it is meant to be. Remove the folder where you have installed the cars and see what happens.
