(NR2003) Cars are black when shadows from structures game option is enabled

[Mystical-17]

I want to start by saying that the NR2003 (Nascar Racing 2003 Season) community has really enjoyed this dll, it has not only helped the game performance but also increased the framerate by tenfold. With that said, the one issue that has been occurring is when certain shadow settings are enabled in the game options all the cars go completely black when the dll is in use.

I am not sure if this bug can be fixed but it reproduces 100% easily and this is with testing each dll version that has been released so far. Here are the repro steps:

1. Launch NR2003 game with latest dll in the root directory folder
2. On main menu go to options graphics setting and enable shadows from structures to the cars
3. On the track observe results

Results: Cars are all black
Expected: Shadows work as expected and cars are not fully black

This issue appears for users with nvidia or radeon cards too. I have attached some screenshots as well showing the issue in action.
