TDU will not start

[hanshans]

Hey Guys,

I played TDU all time with mods but now it dont starts. I reinstalled it a few times.

But now TDU shows only the two intros from Atari and Eden than the Game crashed.

I need your Help please.

If you8 recently installed mods - remove them - they can cause the game to crash.

 

Also try different video card drivers.

Also try going to Task Manager and killing as many background process that are able to be stopped safely.

Also, try to delete the Atari folder in ProgramFiles, i noticed that the uninstaller keeps some files...

Make sure you root through the Atari file, the installer will not remove any foreign files eg. mods, because it doesn't know of their existence :) also some saved games might be corrupt due to mods. so get rid of them too... i hope this helps if not let me know :)

Try installing TDU outside your C:\Program Files\ folder.

i.e. - Install it to C:\Games\Test Drive Unlimited

I know, it could help others who have the same problem and find this thread after searching.

 

Windows Vista and 7 protect the Program Files folder more than XP, so older games sometimes have issues when they store data here, as well as when modding. Keeping your games separate removes this issue.

 

Your save game might have become corrupted after the game crashed previously. It's worth keeping backups of it as you get more achievements.

Good. Just an observation - there's no need to quote the entire post directly above when replying (just takes up extra space).
