Test Drive Unlimited: Project Paradise [v0.03A PUBLIC BETA AVAILABLE!]

iLLGT3 · April 7, 2015

Hmm. Might have to do with an update you think?

I didn't install and play TDU until after I had fully updated my machine.

I'm thinking it could be a small Windows update somewhere. No idea which one would do it, though. My regular software setup has been the same for a long time.

Ah. Really odd. Have you tried running it in compatibility mode? The only reason I ask is because I haven't lol

It doesn't have a compatibility option:

Click Start, type combat.. and you can launch a wizard and try that way.

I got to the troubleshooter by just right-clicking the EXE file. Tried all the options. None of which seemed to do anything.

Use your cd instead of your daemon tool thingy setup (I think you wrote at some point you were using that kind of setup :p).

This is happening without anything inserted, virtually or physically, even if the ODD is disabled in Device Manager. May be time for a new install of Windows, but I may just wait for Windows 10 to do that. Though my current install is fairly clean and organized.

I ran the EXE with /secuexp (as outlined by SecuROM here), but of course this log file isn't saved anywhere:

I just checked my registry and noticed that there are no keys referring to TDU (just TDU2...). I'll reinstall the game.

Just completely removed TDU and installed it. Interestingly, the original 1.45A EXE works fine, but the 1.66A EXE from the patch brings up the old OS popup... Also happens regardless if the online mod and G27 fixes are in place.

Final edit! All good now. A few restarts after a clean install of TDU1 and it's working normally again :clap:.

Been ages since i used a forum so forgive me for any mistakes.

I just setup an account to say thankyou for this amazing mod. I originally bought TDU in 2006 for the Xbox 360. It was the original reason for buying the console. I loved the game from day 1 and it is the only game i have got all achievements for. Whenever i bought a G25 for my PC i got test drive and the experience was complete. Spent countless hours just driving. Basically formed my childhood. Was very sad to hear they closed the servers. Tbh i never played online on PC though.

Just wanted to say thankyou again. And if anyone would like to hang out in game to send me a PM.la

Just wondering is there going to be future updates for the game planned?

Speeder · April 8, 2015

Yup 'work in progress' (and it won't be a small update this time :D).

Tob-Racer · April 9, 2015

Might be there tomorrow evening. Not sure. But I'll join you for sure ;)

BeSweeet · April 9, 2015

I may be available. Just post here whenever a cruise starts and people will join if available.

Dux · April 9, 2015

Or we need separate thread or chatbox for that to avoid "spamming" this thread.

It would be nice.

Krisman10 · April 15, 2015

Hope I'm not asking a dumb question here; but is Project Paradise v0.03 compatible with 1.68 update by Djey? I know it'll work with 1.66 but I'm unsure if it'll work with the latest 'unofficial' update? Better to ask than get flamed in the burning mess of crap, right? :)

Tob-Racer · April 15, 2015

Yep all the patches are compatible ;)

Yours Truly · April 18, 2015

I don't get it.

How exactly are new online players (who didn't get a chance to play before it shut down) supposed to get a Gamespy ID if Gamespy is done for? :(

You should be able to enter any GameSpy ID and password.

Yours Truly · April 18, 2015

Got it to work. THX!

PS, jumping on at 7:30 PM EDT, anyone wanna join?

Take a look in the audio settings, there should be a way to turn them down (all the way down :btup).

And no, I don't think you can, there's some security software to stop piracy and it will probably get angry if you try to use a copy!

There are options in the settings. And yes you can. Not sure anyone here will help you with that publicly.

Hashwell · April 25, 2015

yup i had the same idea but it doesnt help .... (change AD settings in game) , i try it once more today :) , and it is normal when i play and gae say : 34 players and i see only 8 for example ? , or it is problem with ports ? some players is smooth riding without any lags , and there are any official races ? or only freeride ? , anyway i like this mod :) better game experience then single player :)
