TDU got dumb :(

[Vilq85]

Hi there,

 

Let me explain the title of this thread. Well... it DID get dumb (as in "unintelligent", not some random insult) ;)

 

I've already described part of the problem here:

http://forum.turboduck.net/showpost.php?p=362423&postcount=6

so I'm not going to write again that the same copy was working fine on my old laptop etc.

 

Here's just a summary of the present facts:

The current machine contains:

i7 870 2,93 GHz

Asus P7P55D Evo

Asus Nvidia GTX 480

2x2GB DDR3 1600MHz

Connected to a 120Hz acer monitor.

 

The gliches noticed so far:

1. The most annoying - The gear box - as described earlier, I sometimes need up to 5 attempts to do a single up-shift or down-shift, regardles of the key bindings.

2. First traffic problem: 80% of cars wanting to change a lane do it (complete the whole maneuver) in less than a second after the first indicator blink. Its just "*blink*, swirl, DONE"

3. Second traffic problem: cars going in the opposite direction. I can see a car going for a head on collision with me or other traffic users at least once every 10 minutes. That's something I've never seen in TDU on my laptop.

4. Third traffic problem: cars just stopping instantly in one place for no reason. That's almost as common as the FTP (First traffic problem, I wonder if it'll catch on :P )

5. Invisible cops - so far I've stumbled upon them only 4 or 5 times during some missions, but it's never a nice surprise.

 

The game acts like this regardless of the screen resolution, detail levels, refresh rate (60 or 120 Hz), controller key mappings or the graphics card driver. Has anyone got any idea what's happening?

 

Cheers!

Reinstall it?

Maybe some files got dodgy when you installed it.

[Vilq85]

I've tried this a couple of times already. :/

[Jazzi]

Hmm. Odd. Is it a legal copy?

[Vilq85]

Yes, it's a legal, Polish version bought when TDU could still be described as a new game. The car pack was bought separately later. I'm also seeking help at a Polish TDU forum, bot no answers :/ I hop it's not some problem speciffic to the Polish version. But I think then I would probably find something more...

[Jazzi]

If it worked on the laptop then I doubt its the version of the game you've got. My Spongie says try installing the unofficial 1.67 patch which you'll find through a quick search on this forum. That will unlock some extra traffic cars and might fix your problem, no certainties though. If that fails, then I honestly don't know. I'm sure someone else will be in to try and help out some more :)

Have you tried limiting your fps?

[Vilq85]

I can't find a working link for the patch 1.67. I've tried installing 1.68B but failed :/ "Exception spotted: Unable to create edit task on BNK file: D:\Gry\Test Drive Unlimited\Euro\Bnk\Database\DB_FR.BNK"

 

How do I limit the FPS? I tried 120, 110, 100, 60 and 59 Hz but Fraps still shows me some FPS values above 100 (I'm not barging :P )

[killalldude]

Try 30-40 FPS. You can use Fraps to keep the frame rate constant, but it will only do it for 30 seconds unless you have the paid version ;).
