TDU World: Test Drive Unlimited 2 Multiplayer Mod V1.01

TDU World is finally here! On the 10th anniversary of Test Drive Unlimited 2, we are releasing the first version of our multiplayer mod.

In the future, we will expand on the features of our mod. But for now, the gamemode most valuable to players - freeroam - is fully working after extensive testing by our beta tester team.

------

How to install (V1.01):

Important!: TDU World no longer supports unpacked editions of Test Drive Unlimited 2! 

Unfortunately for now this does mean that players cannot use any mod packs or custom mods, however support for Unofficial Patch and the new TDU World Mod Pack are coming very soon! Stay tuned...

Step 1: Installing TDU2

1. Perform a clean, standard install of Test Drive Unlimited 2 either from Steam or DVD/Digital Download

Step 2: Preparing TDU2

1. Before you install TDU World, please run the game at least once to ensure that the game works and is registered correctly.
2. Make sure you have a file named "key.txt" in the game directory. Without this, you will not be able to access TDU World!
   If the key.txt file does not exist in your directory, create the text file yourself and paste your CD key inside.
   Note: The CD Key is NOT the Steam Key! Steam will give you a separate CD Key!

Step 3: Installing TDU World

1. Go to TDUWorld.com & register an account by clicking the orange "Sign Up" button and activating your account.
   You must use a legitimate E-mail address! Unactivated accounts are not allowed online.
2. Once you've registered and activated your TDU World Account, go to "Downloads" then follow the TurboDuck link to download TDU World.
   (Alternatively, you can just hit the download button here)
3. Run the installer.
4. When the Installer asks you to select the folder, select the "Test Drive Unlimited 2"  folder your game is installed in.
5. Optional: Tick the Shortcut box to put a cool TDU World Shortcut on your Desktop to easily play TDU World.
6. The installer will then ask you if your game is up to date:
   If you know your game has DLC2 V034 installed, you can click "Yes" here
   If your game is a stock DVD or Steam installation, press "No" and the installer will download the latest Official Patches for the game!
   (Note: Russian Versions of the game are currently not supported by TDU World's Updater, sorry!)
7. The Installer will then ask you if you wish to proceed installing TDU World. Press "Yes" to proceed.
8. Once the installer is finished, remove any existing save files in "Documents\Eden Games\Test Drive Unlimited 2"
9. Open the game and register a new account using your TDU World credentials.
   (Nickname = Profile Name, TDU World Account = TDU World Username, Password = TDU World Account Password)
10. Congratulations, you can now play online! Have fun!
