About This File

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):

Step 1: Installing TDU2

  1. Perform a clean install of Test Drive Unlimited 2
  2. Go here and download Update DLC2 v034 (Warning: Russian versions of the game may crash when using this version of the updates. You may need the RU Pack!)
  3. Once downloaded, install the patch by copying all files to your Test Drive Unlimited 2 directory

Step 2: Unpacking TDU2

  1. Go here and download the TDU2 Unpacker GUI
  2. Rename your current Test Drive Unlimited 2 directory to TDU2 Stock
  3. Create a new folder in the folder where the TDU2 Stock directory is located, called Test Drive Unlimited 2
  4. Run the Unpacker and let it unpack the TDU2 Stock folder to the new Test Drive Unlimited 2 folder. This will create a full new copy of the game, using the original directory path.
  5. Copy the key.txt from the original directory over to the new directory.
    If the key.txt file does not exist in your directory, create the text file yourself and paste your game key inside.

    To get the Steam overlay to work, copy steam_api.dll from the old directory over to the new one manually.

Step 3: Installing TDU World

  1. Go to TDUWorld.com & register an account
  2. After registering is completed, head to the Download tab and download the installer.
  3. Run the installer and install it to the unpacked Test Drive Unlimited 2 directory.
  4. Remove any existing save files in Documents\Eden Games\Test Drive Unlimited 2
  5. Open the game and register a new account using your TDU World credentials.
  6. Congratulations, you can now play online!

Can't get it to work, it crashes at launch 😕

Also, i don't understand why it needs to be unpacked after installing the mod, the unpack proccess only unpacks the original files, so it disregards the new launcher.

Oh well, i guess it'll work eventually.

Response from the author:

The crashing on launch is a known issue, many people get it and we're looking into it!

The game needs to be unpacked since we made some changes to internal files. These changes are minor for now, but this will be expanded upon once the modpack launches.

xD i wrote a report...

anyways, so i have a problem xD As you said to another post theres an installer bug where tdu world launcher is not downloaded to run it. I didnt understand much with your explaination to delete directories manually. What do I do? 🙂

Response from the author:

This issue has been fixed with the newer installer. It now installs the launcher as UpLauncher.exe

There's however another bug now: installer creates a shortcut to TDU World Launcher.exe, but that file doesn't exist anymore, since the launcher installs as UpLauncher.exe. So if you want to use the shortcut, you need to redirect it or make a new shortcut

Thank you for making this game back to life!

Currently having an issue to launch the game: after following all the steps, when clicking on "Play" in the launcher, the screens flickers then back to desktop. Any idea about how to fix this?

Response from the author:

Hi, this is a widely known issue. Some people got around this by fully reinstalling their game and TDU World. This might work for you too!

Y'all have done a phenomenal work!!! One thing though:

 I'm trying to register for my TDU world account, but I don't receive the activation email. I'm trying to get it to resend numerous times now but still nothing. Should I just keep waiting? 

My bad if this is not the place to ask questions

Response from the author:

Hi psp,

We have heard several people are having this issue. It seems that it does not send the email to some email domains. If it is possible for you, can you use a different email address and see if that works?

We will resolve this issue ASAP.

I installed it but it doesn't install the TDU World Launcher.exe (?)

Edit: Since i can't answer to the response somehow, i edit my post. I deleted the "Select TDU2 directory" while installing, but i don't have the TDU World Launcher.exe. I repeated that already 3 times.

Edit2: I had to rename the uplauncher.exe into tdu world launcher.exe. Game starts so far. I will see how it works.

Edit3: Looks like it works now.

Response from the author:

There's currently a bug in the installer: when selecting a directory, the "Select TDU2 directory" prompt will stay in the directory field. Remove this manually.

Then it will install in the TDU2 directory correctly.

TDU2 Online Back up: excellent

 

I do have a little problem though: while it worked fine about 2 weeks ago, I tried re-downloading it and now it doesn't work anymore. My system doesn't allow the UpLauncher to be used. It says 'UpLauncher.exe contains a virus' to then find a Trojan inside of it. Now it just self destructs when I try to do anything.

Am I missing something obvious or is something off with the link?

Response from the author:

Hi Loek,

This is a known issue, the virus detection is a false positive. We actively monitor all code we use and ensure it only does what it is supposed to do, please be assured we will only ever release legitimate items from TDU World.

You need to add it as an exception in your antivirus to get it back.

Response from the author:

Pirated copies will not work. You can still buy keys on third party websites, like Amazon.
