TDU2 Save Game Manager
By The.Stig
Overview
The TDU2 SaveGame Manager is a tool designed to manage, backup, and restore save game files for the game Test Drive Unlimited 2.
It provides an intuitive interface for players to manage their savegame data, back it up, and easily restore backups.
The tool also includes additional features such as progress bars for loading tasks and validation to ensure smooth operations.
Features
Backup Save Games: Easily back up your TDU2 save game files with the click of a button. Backups are created with a timestamp to help keep track of versions. Restore Backups: Select from a list of previously created backups and restore your save game data. Validation: Checks for write permissions and ensures proper directory structures before performing operations. Progress Feedback: Displays progress bar animations during backup and restore operations for a smooth user experience. Selectable Backup Destination: The user can select a custom directory to store backups. Backup and Restore Operations
Backup
Select the folder containing the savegame files from the list on the left side. Feel free to customise the backup destination folder or let the program do it for you on a subdirectory in the software folder.

(DIY HC/Casual+ mode, ffb tweaks) TDU2 physics tweaks
By Katie Cookie
Release history:
TDU2 Physics Tweak
Nudge tdu2 overall car handling to your own liking, along with force feedback tweaks 😄
https://github.com/Kethen/tdu2_physics_tweaks
Video demo of the example config below, speedometer is in kph (Streamable)
Video demo of the adjustable steering wheel mode (Streamable), enabled by setting "steering_wheel_mode" to true
Known issues
- The plugin causes game crashes on the 21MB exe and I have yet to find out why, considering how it would only crash after roughly 3 races of driving, I believe the 21MB exe might have some sort of exe integrity check that was not fully patched out
---
Installation on Windows
Place dinput8.dll, MinHook.x86.dll, tdu2_physics_tweaks_config.json, dinput8_ffb_tweaks_i686.dll and tdu2_physics_tweaks_i686.asi next to TestDrive2.exe.
Installation on Linux+WINE
Copy the file next to TestDrive2.exe following the Windows instruction.
After that you'd likely also have to declare a dll override before the asi loader as dinput8.dll will be picked up. It can be done in winecfg or with the below environment variable.
export WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n,b" Alternatively, if you are already using dxvk, chances are you have a d3d9.dll override ready to go. Simply install dinput8.dll as d3d9.dll instead.
---
Usage
After installation, edit tdu2_physics_tweaks_config.json to nudge the game closer to your taste.
Some values can be adjusted while the game is running. Check the in-json string comments for when values are applied.
The following examples adjusts vanilla cars to feel somewhere between tdu2 and tdu1 hc. Time trials and license tests will become relatively more challenging.

Notable options are override_analog_settings, steering_sensitivity, steering_deadzone, steering_wheel_mode, steering_max_angle under the overrides section, as well as the ffb_tweaks section
TDU2 sadly do not render wheel physics using constant force effect, but with spring and damper effects, basically asking the wheel to do it instead.
You'd likely need to raise spring gain and adjust damper gain in your wheel's setting software to have better wheel feedback (eg. my g29 on linux, https://github.com/berarma/new-lg4ff driver along with https://github.com/berarma/oversteer gui allows adjusting overall, friction, damper and spring effect gains; Ghub on windows on the other hand seems to not expose any of those settings and Logitech Wheel Helper seems to have stopped working with the newest Ghub)
Additionally when ffb tweaks are enabled, front wheel slipping feedback is simulated in a best effort manner
Perhaps one day the game physics engine will be studied enough for re-implementing steering phyiscs entirely

Changed values are logged in tdu2_physics_tweaks_log.txt for db tuning reference.
When log_effects under ffb_tweaks is enabled, effects sent to dinput8 are logged to dinput8_ffb_tweaks_log.txt
---
Trouble shooting
Make sure your edited config is a valid json file and contains all the keys this tool needs.
Check tdu2_physics_tweaks_log.txt if the game refuses to start/self closes.
If tdu2_physics_tweaks_log.txt or dinput8_ffb_tweaks_log.txt don't change / don't get created, make sure the directory and the log files are not readonly.
---
Building
On windows, install cygwin, along with mingw64-i686-gcc-core and mingw64-i686-gcc-g++ toolchains, then run build.sh at the project root in cygwin shell.
On linux, install podman from your package manager then run build_podman.sh.

Andraste Modding Framework Development Build
By MeFisto94
Andraste Modding Framework
Andraste, at it’s core, is a generic modding framework, aiming to bring a modern toolset into old (DX 9) and modern games alike. It does so by injecting a .NET FX Runtime into native applications, allowing us to code the framework in a safe language (C#), which even opens up the possibility to write code modifications in .NET languages, that interface seamlessly with the native code of the game.
Note: While this is in the TDU2 category, Andraste can also be used for TDU1 and potentially a lot of other games (unless they are 64 bits or have some protective anti cheat system)
How to run Andraste
Andraste comes with a UI Launcher and a bundled version of the generic framework (in the most recent version). That is all you need,
just start Andraste.UILauncher.exe, create a profile (you can have multiple profiles and quickly switch between them) and you are ready to go.
You'll want to click "open mods folder" to download/add mods to your profile and then you can press "Start Game".
If your mods don't come in an andraste ready format, check the below "Converting a Mod into the Andraste Format" and contribute the file to turboduck 😉
If you still have problems launching Andraste, see our Docs on using the Launcher and "installing" mods.
Converting a Mod into the Andraste Format
First, make sure that you have the permission of the original author to convert/upload the andraste version of the mod.
Then, follow our Getting Started Guide
What can I use it for, at the moment?
If you managed to convert a mod, you can now use (and remove!) these game mods, without changing your unpacked(!) base game (the game needs to be unpacked, because the VFS feature only replaces existing files, it doesn't create packed files yet).
While this feature may not be impressive yet (besides removing mods without having to have a backup of your game folder somewhere), there is much more possible with that technique, but that takes manpower and time.
Internally, we're currently using the scripting functionality to find out more about the game and progress on different fronts such as multiplayer or asset manager, so definitely stay tuned for further progress, at some point, we will release the TDU2 Modding Framework, that is an additional layer on top of Andraste, providing TDU2 specific features (patching files inside BNKs, running on a packed game, hot reloading, ...)
If you need further assistance, don't hesitate to read our documentation, post in the relevant forum thread, here on turboduck, or in #tdu-modding on https://discord.tduniverse.org

PlayStation Button Prompts
By jabradley
What does this mod do?
- Replaces button prompts with the signature PlayStation layout
- Fixes the German flag on the casino leaderboard (flag is upside-down)
- Supports both packed and unpacked games.
What doesn't this mod do?
- Does not add native DualShock/DualSense support, this is just a retexture, you need to use steam input or DS4windows still.
- Does not replace the DLC purchase screens. (I couldn't get it to work; if you'd like to take a shot at it, you may download and edit the files here.)
- Does not properly integrate the "Start" button. (By default, the PC version of the game mirrors the start and select textures; considering you see select more than start, I decided to sacrifice the start button in favor of select.)
Notice
Big thanks to Kuxii for packing the files for me!
If you want to use my mod in a modpack or host it somewhere else, just credit me.

gps TDU1 GPS Voice in TDU2 (English)
By frosty
I swapped the files for the GPS voice from TDU1, and put them into TDU2.
The file structure for this is nearly the same, apart from the sound files itself that have different wording.
Personally, I prefer how the GPS voice sounded in the first game.
Install:
*REQUIRES UNPACKED GAME*
- Go to your game directory
- Test Drive Unlimited 2\Euro\Bnk\sound\voices\us
- MAKE A BACKUP OF THE ORIGINAL GPS.bnk
- drag the GPS.bnk from this post into that folder, and done!
I am open to making the file for different languages, feel free to comment.

TDU2: Unofficial Patch
By Xarlith
TDU2: Unofficial Patch v0.4.1
July 01, 2021
The main goal of this project was to track down and fix many little bugs that were missed by the developers. As the time went by we started adding our own custom content. The patch grew bigger and bigger to the point that UP started to look more like a modpack than a small patch.
TDU2: UP fixes a lot of car's specific bugs - like Lotus Evora gear ratios, Audi Q7 collapsing into tarmac etc. To preserve vanilla driving feeling and performance my changes to the car's physics were done very conservatively.
This mod provides easy access to vehicles (through dealerships) which were removed from the final game. The first release of the patch restored to the game all deleted cars (for example Nissan 370z Nismo and HotRod). Future releases provided cars made by our talented modders. All new vehicles have improved physics and balanced performance - player without UP would still have a chance of winning in multiplayer race using only official vehicles from the same segment - do not worry.
I have spent hundreds of hours preparing this mod. If you want to express your gratitude for my hard work you are welcome to donate.

Thank you for your support and kind words. I really appreciate that.
WARNING!
If you don't want your cars turn into Miami's Mustangs DO NOT run TDU2 without Unofficial Patch. Never ever. If you have to run the game without TDU2UP at least backup your savegame!
Please check out my new creation. TDU World Car Pack. It features almost all content from the Unofficial Patch adds a ton of new cars, has new physics and much more. You can download and install the Pack with TDU World Mod Manager available HERE.
* uninstall Unofficial Patch prior to installing the new mod!
Since the version 0.4.1 in order to install the Unofficial Patch you are no longer required to unpack the game.
Just install the mod to your regular TDU2 directory and play - very easy!

Intro Skipper - Skip Intro Videos/Splashscreens
By MeFisto94
This mod requires the Andraste Framework in at least Version 0.1.1, which you can get here:
It will skip the two intro videos ("bumper") as well as the AFK video (deadmau5, "Teaser_TDU2").
It will also skip the splash screen cards with the legal trademark screens and the warnings about not driving like that in reallife (as well as the tips screen "Ze White Rabbit" after loading into a profile).
In my case, when roughly counting by hand, this brought starting the game down from 19s to 9s, which may add up, if you launch the game frequently after doing an edit to your mod.
Installation: Just unzip the content, so that you have the skip-intros folder and move that folder into Andraste's mods folder.
Enjoy.

TDU2 save backup script
By danilotitato
GitHub: https://github.com/danilotitato/tdu2_save_backup
Well, this game have the annoyance of corrupting save files too easily
I hadn't planned to upload it anywhere but... why not? May help the community before TDU SC is released
It will keep the last 10 backups to prevent the deletion of a good save backup
You can add it to a batch file to run every time you initialize the game (see sample.bat file) or run it manually on any Windows CLI:
python tdu2_save_backup.py You should install Python for Windows before running this if it is not installed: https://www.python.org/downloads/
PS: I wouldn't advise you to schedule it as a job. It can backup corrupted saves while you are not playing

TDU2 nVidia Inspector Profiles by GeeTee
By GeeTee
A set of five nVidia Profile Inspector profiles for use with Test Drive Unlimited 2 to improve the visuals of the game. Profiles are provided in five different flavours according to performance impact, so experiment with each of them and find the best trade-off between image quality and performance.
Requirements:
A Windows PC with an nVidia graphics card (GPU) nVidia Profile Inspector installed in a folder of your choice. (Click the link for the download page). How to Use:
Download and extract the zip to a folder on your computer. Start the game and turn Anti-Aliasing Off in Video Options as shown in the Settings pic. You may set the other video quality options to your preference. Quit the game and launch nVidia Profile Inspector. Select Test Drive Unlimited 2 from the Profiles drop-down. Click the Import user defined profiles button on the toolbar. Browse to and select the desired .nip file from the folder where you saved them earlier. Wait a few seconds for nVidia Profile Inspector to load the profile. Click the Apply changes button. Launch the game and inspect the results. Technologies implemented:
Multisampling Anti-Aliasing (MSAA) - smoothes jagged edges of 3D objects. Sparse Grid Transparency SuperSampling Anti-Aliasing (SGSSAA) - smoothes jagged edges of 3D objects. Anisotropic Filtering (AF) - improves textures that are viewed from acute angles. Very low performance cost. Horizon Based Ambient Occlusion (HBAO) - more realistic shadows where 3D objects join. Scalable Link Interface (SLI) - support for multiple linked graphics cards in the same PC. Profile contents:
Potato: 4x MSAA, 2x SGSSAA, 16x AF, HBAO Off Light: 4x MSAA, 2x SGSSAA, 16x AF, Performance HBAO Medium: 4x MSAA, 2x SGSSAA, 16x AF, Quality HBAO Heavy: 8x MSAA, 4x SGSSAA, 16x AF, Quality HBAO Extreme: 8x MSAA, 8x SGSSAA, 16x AF, High Quality HBAO Customisation:
Feel free to tweak your profile if you wish! I recommend sticking to the following settings, since most of the the other altered settings throughout the profile are required for compatibility with TDU2.
Antialiasing - Setting Antialiasing - Transparency SuperSampling Anisotropic Filtering Setting Ambient Occlusion setting Other settings that may be useful in your system:
Frame Rate Limiter V3 - limits in-game FPS to a maximum value you specify. Very high frame rates can produce glitches in TDU2. Triple Buffering - can improve FPS (over double-buffering + Vsync) while reducing screen tearing. Do not use with Vsync. Vertical Sync - limits FPS to match the refresh rate of your monitor. Enabling this can eliminate screen tearing. When you are done tweaking, use the Export user defined profiles button to save your own custom .nip file for TDU2!
Credits:
Profiles based on Test_Drive_Unlimited_2_SGSSAA_HBAO_SLI_Profile.nip, originally developed by GuruKnight and others on Guru3D forums. Performance-based profile customisation, testing and packaging by GeeTee (Discord: @GeeTee#0394)

tdudecGUI
By binbow
I created a GUI version of tdudec.exe. It is no longer necessary to prepare tdudec.exe separately.
Acknowledgments:
I thank the author of "tdudec.exe". I have ported the source code.
Usage:
1. Start tdudecgui.exe and drag and drop the "xxx.cpr" file on the form of tdudecgui.exe.
At this time, "Decrypt" should have been selected as the command option.
2. Click the "EXECUTE" button. "xxx.dec" file is generated.
3. Click the "Text editor" button to open notepad.exe and edit the generated "xxx.dec" file.
4. Make the desired edits and save and exit notepad.exe.
5. Click the "swap" button and swap "sorce" and "destination".
At this time, "Encrypt" should have been selected as the command option.
6. Clicking the "EXECUTE" button will generate a new "xxx.cpr".
At the same time, "yyyymmdd-HHmmss-xxx.cpr" should have been created as a backup.

TDU2 TurboRay RTX-like Reshade preset
By DΛN
This is a simple Reshade preset with non-RTX & non-DX12 RT ray tracing effect* that I tried to make it work with TDU2. Press shift + F12 to open the panel and adjust the graphics settings in-game.
Setup
Just move the files to where the actual game executable file is.
If you can't play TDU2 because you have an nVidia RTX graphics card then do the steps below!**
Delete D3D9.DLL, if it is in the TDU2 directory Get DirectX9 https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=8109 Run directx_Jun2010_redist.exe. Extract the files wherever on your PC Out of the extracted files, find and run the DXSETUP.exe and finish installing the DX9. Install this ReShade mod and enjoy! Recommended to check the ReShade git for latest updates and guides ______________________________
