How did you get it running? PP already uses the d3d9.dll.

Try the ENBInjector method from here

https://reshade.me/forum/general-discussion/1267-using-additional-dll-files#9409

First it didn't work for me, but after closing Fraps it does. Now I have TDU Platinum with working ReShade 4.2.1. But, still, ENBInjector works somewhat random. In most cases it does inject ReShade32.dll, but sometimes it doesn't. Not sure why.

Hello. My game keep crashing while connecting to TestDrive server. Can someone help me please. 
Specs:
Windows 10
I3-4160
GTC 1050TI
And using no cd exe

[hgbs]

I'm having trouble connecting aswell, been away from TDU for a while, now because of Platinum i'm trying to go back, but when i open Project Paradise it just freezes while trying to connect, tried closing every single program on background and still won't connect

On the upnp text file it says that it couldn't open port UDP 8889, but it's already opened, i opened every single needed port and double check it to asure they are indeed opened and still won't work, i don't know what to do anymore

Damm, it worked, did not expect this to fix it, but all i did was download C++ 2015 - 2019 both x64 and x86, installed them and now it's connecting

 

Here is the link to download Visual C++ 2015-2019

Are you running Project Paradise as admin? Also, you will need to enable Big Bnk in the Project Paradise launcher for Platinum.

A quick question I didn't see in the FAQ:

Does the Platinum mod automatically come with the Project Paradise files? Or do I need to separately install them too? The game says that the TDU servers are available, but I don't see anyone on the map, so color me a tad confused.

Project Paradise is included in the Platinum files. If you don't see players, you might have to port forward. Check the Test Drive Unlimited folder in My Documents for upnp.txt, it will tell you.

If you remove the d3d9.dll project paradise won't work.

ik that why im asking for help? please dont bother me Milli you where extremely rude to me and want nothing to do with people like that, i asked for simple help and you cut me down like im stupid?? lucky i dont report you, im new to all this and just asked for help? no excuse Milli your an Administrator smh honestly...but anyways ive tried closing all overlays like the instruction told me but it still wont start, gets up to the white atari intro screen and crashes to desktop? ive read all forums with support but nothing seems to work?

[MagicV8]

Lol, don't you think, that you striked the wrong note here?

Milli made an awful great job over more then two years to make it possible that people can still play this cool game.
And that all for no bucks, at her spare time.
And even more, she is so kind trying to help so many others here with their problems in a friendly way, that she really hasn't to do.
Do you think, she has a cystal ball to investigate peoples personal pc problems?

I would say, this mod works for most people here out of the box.

So the problem is not the mod, the problem is your rack / installation!
My tip is, make use of your brain, or at least set up your system from scratch ... seems to be some crap to me.

You asked why you couldn't see the vehicles in the Platinum thread, which i told you that was an issue with bigbnk not being activated. You then proceeded and told me, via PM, that you have it activated. I told you to check if Project Paradise is working at all. You apparently didn't get that, and couldn't wait to get a reply, and sent me another one, demanding a reply, like that's my duty. I told you to re-download Project Paradise and re-install it, read the READ ME files that comes with it and said that yes, i can't read it for you. Which is a fact. 

Then here, you comfirmed that you deleted d3d9.dll, and that's why, exactly why you couldn't see the vehicles. Because your Project Paradise is not working, therefore, bigbnk is not working aswell. So no, without d3d9.dll your bigbnk is NOT enabled, because it is NOT working at all. 

What you want, is someone to tell you what to do. Because i really doubt you've read all the 96 pages of this thread. 

But here we go again. 

Reinstall a TDU Copy. Copy the files of TDU Platinum over the game folder. Download Project Paradise, copy the files inside the Test Drive Unlimited folder. Run Project Paradise Laucher.exe as admin, make sure to select your TestDriveUnlimited.exe in the launcher, mark check on bigbnk.  

P.S. Make sure you are NOT running these .exes files with ANY compability mode.

Edit: And note that you could have made a post here all along and get help from different people, from the whole forum at any timezone, instead of send me a PM, and get only a reply from me, when i actually can.  But yeah, i am rude. I can live with that. 

[RacingPro94]

hate me all you want just for asking questions, im sorry i blew up...ive reinstalled everything last night Milli, I did everything you told me to look for and do and it still wont launched...your right its most likely my system, im not rich and can afford 2 grand computers.... game runs perfectly vanilla and with 1.66a and mega-pack, i agree its project paradise, im new to the modding thing, thats why i ask retarded questions...ill leave sorry to everyone

Well, to be honest the fact that you said that Project Paradise wasn't working and then said you deleted d3d9.dll, I'd say that Milli told you something that you, in fact, didn't know. The fact that the Atari screen pops up at all is also an indication that Project Paradise isn't working since it skips it. The FPS counter will be the only thing that WILL work without d3d9.dll. Best not to start calling people trying to help you rude, especially since half of the job of mod authors is tech support. Some MAs have up and quit because of it.

Anyways, if d3d9.dll still doesn't work could be your Antivirus is blocking it or something similar.

ive already apologized....i didnt mean to be rude to anyone...anyways ive put it under exemptions for my ainti virus also, ive read the readme with the support but none of them worked? ive clean installed everything last night again and still same issue? works perfectly unmodded and with patch 1.66a and Megapack   

[RacingPro94]

so ive figured out the issue thank Milli sorry again...so to anyone else having issues with cars no appearing or Project Paradice isnt working correctly? please Like Milli Explained turn off all compatibility mode for all tdu .exe files. Thanks Again for the Help everyone and sorry i got off on ther wrong foot around here, you guys that make these mods are what keeps this amazing game alive

Hello guys, I have been trying this in Linux(wine executable). when i get to the game. it doesn't want to connect to servers with my savegame or new savegames, any solution for this? If someone asks about Linux thing. I couldn't find anything in internet about this online server TDU in that OS. Don't ask me to use windows to fix this problem, I have been trying to migrate to Linux cause it's growing and doing better than Windows actually. Thanks

[Elijah]

Does anyone know a way I can use a 100% game save and still be able to play online with project paradise? I've searched around and tried a few things and haven't figured it out. Is it necessary to have a gamespy account connected with my profile/s? Because if I don't it always says I'm not connected to the TDU servers. 

[Maciuk]

Anyone knows something about creators? I need a contact to them because I have some ideas that I wanted to add to the game and mod...
