Message from the Development Team (February 22, 2010) - Test Drive Unlimited 2 Forums

 

Hey Everyone,

 

GMDestra here. I've got the latest message from the development team which outlines the latest status on our fixes, along with extra steps that are being taken to show our appreciation for our players:

 

To the TDU2 community,

 

Thank you for your continued support and feedback. Our community has been amazing and helped us quickly identify a number of issues, which we have made significant progress in addressing in the upcoming patches.

 

We really appreciate your patience in this matter and we would like to announce that we will be making the first premium DLC for the game free for everybody as a way of saying thank you.

 

The Exploration Pack contains new wrecks to be discovered that unlock the Lancia Stratos version Rallye and 1969 Dodge Charger.

 

We now have fixes for all of the following issues that have already gone live on PC and will follow shortly once patches are approved by Microsoft and Sony, respectively.

 

Issues Fixed:

 

*Logging into the game has been improved

*Once into the game the online network experience is now much more stable in all areas

*Save games no longer corrupt

*Existing corrupted save games will be repaired in many cases

*Friends lists are now populated

*Invites now work correctly

*Clubs have been brought back online

*Exploits to gain money have been fixed

*Casino access has been improved

*Players will no longer lose money because of the Casino bug

 

 

The team spends a great deal of time looking at community feedback, so please keep posting your comments to the official TDU2 forums and we look forward to seeing you in Ibiza.

 

Sincerely,

 

The TDU2 Development Team

Looking forward to finding the Stratos and the charger.

[Upstairs Chris]

I love it when game developers actually support their game and realize when their fanbase is upset.

Sweet, a list of lies.

 

*Exploits to gain money have been fixed

This one is particular lols.

[Jazzi]

oooh yey :D

[Eudemon]

I hope they make them sound good. Looking forward to both to be honest!

 

There's hope for a DeLorean with this wreck system if you think about it. :)

[Inspiflo]

Can not wait to take the Lancia Stratos offroad :)

[T1M]

Sweet, sounds good. :D

[ShogunNH]

Let's find new wreks :D

[ScoobSTi]

No Stratos on PC? :(

[Andreas¹]

69 Charger :eek: Do want! Let's hope this is valid for PC aswell ._.

[ScoobSTi]

Stratos!!one1!!1 :yay:

 

Please, Atari! PLEASE bring them to the PC!

[CLR-GTR]

They say free for everybody, and if you leave out one platform, you always mention what other platforms it WILL come to. It's very confusing however because I think iLLGT3 posted this as xbox and ps3 news, most likely to refer to that the new patch is in the process of being approved for console release while for PC it has already been released and people somehow suddenly forgot PS3 and X360 need like a week or two extra before the patch is released.

[Latetzki]

Hopefully there will more classics like Stratos. Nice gift from Eden/Atari.

[hpluls]

Noice. Can't wait for the release!

[iLLGT3]

Changed thread title to include PC. That's my bad. :lol:

[ScoobSTi]

Changed thread title to include PC. That's my bad. :lol:

 

*Insert head shaking smiley face*

 

Oh, you... :p

[CLR-GTR]

Lol, he did almost give you heartattacks of yet another DLC not for pc, didn't he xD

[Andreas¹]

Thank you. :p Is there any info on when this will be released? :hmmm:

[iLLGT3]

Probably have to wait until next week for that announcement. Need to get this patch through first y0.

[EW]

great free dlc......

 

heres an idea include it in the first place!

 

looking forward to finding a new list of problems, as for the money ha!

[Camel]

I was thinking the Stratos would make a good car for exploring all the roads the other day. Looking forward to driving it.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if Eden have a way of telling where your money has come from just like Forza 3. So they hopefully know where you money has come from and if you have a stupid amount then :bh:.

Meh, I have no qualms with people glitching money out of this game, there is currently no online trade system to be abused by it such as there is in FM3. Besides, in all the issues it's given me I must have lost in excess of $30m. Some lame wrecks I don't want isn't going to fix that.

 

There also needs to be a race that pays out more than $20k, when you're saving for Yachts and the collection of Veyron's it's an off puttingly tedious process. I don't want it ridiculously easy but a little more than $20k would be appreciated.

[Camel]

I agree completely, in TDU1 they actually made it so you could get all of the cars and tune them fairly easily. It took a bit of time but now it is ridiculous. I don't want to spend hours away grinding a race just so I can buy 1 car that costs $2million or so.

 

I don't want to be limited to only being able to own half of the cars in the game because I'm not willing to waste many may hours getting money for a few more cars. Same goes for the DLC, I won't be buying any of it unless they make it a bit easier to make money.
