Exploration Pack DLC & Patch Info *Official update on TDU2.com*

[Ryzza5]

I've muted people's microphone's from the first day I played it. (Options - Audio - Voices IP set to 0). I'm hoping that means the game is smart enough to not 'download' their microphone input.

[wcumbie]

Oh thanks alot! That is REALLY good to know!:thumbsup:

[eXile]

The worst thing is those people that have their mic's on without realising and all you can hear is their game.. omg that is worst than someone speaking or putting music on.

 

Once some guy in a Spyker was putting adult material noises on as well... bit weird but... there's all kinds of people out there haha :D

[TheElement911]

It's not delaying the release of the other platforms. Each platform will be pushed to it's appropriate next step as soon as its ready! :)

 

great!! and thanks for the quick answer!!

[me™]

Yawn...

 

...where's hardcore mode?

[maggit]

Why do I get the feeling it won't come out this week? :3

[Ryzza5]

[TIMELESS]

They still have tomorrow .....and ...and he never said which door. It could have been the inside office door at the top of the stairs after all.

[iLLusion]

Back in February... ''Good news! Exploration Pack is coming s**n!''

2 weeks ago... ''Good news! DLC1 also known as Exploration Pack is almost here!''

1 week ago... ''Good news! DLC1 could be ready by next week!''

Today... ''Good news! DLC1 is being tested in QA''

40950945707135465 days from now... ''Good news! QA almost completed testing DLC1! Coming s**n!''

 

Well done Atari/Eden. Well done. :D

[Ryzza5]

Fool me 5 times.... uhh I don't remember that one :lol:

 

 

 

I guess it's a bit better than the announcements for TDU1 on PC - hear absolutely nothing about DLCs for 2 years, and then a few people find clues about the megapack, which is pretty much denied by them until a few days prior to it's release.

 

 

It's great they tell us what's going on, they just need to get their schedules/ETAs fixed.

[me™]

I think they're going by the 'windows status bar' logic.

 

I.e. it sits there saying '5 seconds left' for 2 minutes.

[ciaman96]

Will PSN be completely restructured and back online before the patch? WE'll find out when my AC Cobra is finally able to stop.

[wcumbie]

The PSN is suppost to be back online this week. Lets only hope it stays that way! :p

[CLR-GTR]

There's a story going on. Gamekult.com posted an article on April 14th mentioning Eden has to reorganize, losing up to 51 people over there and ending up with just 50. Things wouldn't be going as good as they should, and people think it's bad sales of TDU2 which might be the main reason.

 

No idea if this has consequences for the DLC and future of TDU2, but it might explain why nobody heard of the DLC for two weeks...

 

 

 

Anybody who can actually proper translate french may go ahead on this one:

Situation préoccupante chez Eden Games

 

 

This is google's version

Error 403 (Forbidden)!!1

[eXile]

Im starting to doubt the release of this DLC to be anytime soon..

[ScoobSTi]

So that means Eden is losing 51 people on their board, and they will be left with just 50? That is just horrific.

[Camel]

If it's true I think they should still do all of the cars they have planned, but only do half of each car. Then all you need to do is hold a mirror up to you TV or monitor and it'd be like the whole car is there!

[ScoobSTi]

That is a genius idea! :thumbsup:

 

C'mon Eden! This way you pay half price for licenses! Great deal, eh?

[Ryzza5]

You could always use a PS3 controllers to pilot a quadrocopter during the outage ;)

Then we get cars with support for RHD and with an extra set of pedals... It then only lacks a big [L] sign on the roof ^^ *drivingschool car*

[Beurky]

His may explain why the DLC is not out... I live in France, and i have not heard of this dismissal. If at least they can let the modding on the sounds and bodies, would be his top !

And finally, some more news... Good ones this time.
