test drive unlimited gearbox problem

[viktisltu]

Hi guys.I have one problem that is really annoying.It is with gearbox when i try to shift gears sometimes i need to press three or more times is really getting on my nerves :( .especially on corners.I tried every patches ,tried reinstaling the game nothing helped.so maybe you guys know the fix for this problem.

 

I am using Windows 7 64bit

try binding it to a different key?

[viktisltu]

dosen't work ,i tried to bind keys with joystick same,dosen't work. i don't know what to try more :(

 

Please maybe someone knows how ti fix?

Sometimes happens to me - usually holding the paddle down a tad longer helps. Some cars (i.e. Ferrari's) tend to be worse than others with this.

[viktisltu]

i don't notice any difference when i hold the paddle down :(.

 

So there isn't any fix for this?

 

and one thing i remember when i was playing this game on windows 7 bit 32 i didin't had this problem.So i guess this problem is from windows. Maybe any patch for windows 7 64bit is needed?

 

so any help?

I created an account on this forum so that I could let you guys know how I managed to overcome this issue! I tried many different options, such as switching controllers, rebinding keys, enabling and disabling the clutch, and many, many more. Finally I decided that I would force V-sync through the Nvidia control panel, since I have had issues in other games where input was not detected due to the framerate being too high or skipping frames, and voila! Now when I drive sequential-shift cars, the shifts are always spot-on. I play with a Fanatec CSR wheel and use the H-shifter, but TDU intuitively switches to sequential shift for cars that realistically have this functionality. Unfortunately, that's where I ran into trouble since the H-shifter cars had no problems. I love this game and refused to give up on this until I could figure it out, and finally I think I've got it. If anyone else is having this problem, try turning on V-sync and see if that alleviates your problem! Good luck!

That's damn nice of you to do and share that captain, thanks. Hopefully it may help others in the future if they have the same problem.

Worth noting cap'n that you can use the TDU1 Modding Tools to change sequential cars to use the H shifter.

It doesn't work for me.

My first car is gold mkIII and i'm expriencing this shifting problem too.
Forced on vsync on nvidia control panel and fixed my fps at 143 because my monitor is 240fps.
Playing with xbox gamepad with auto clutch.

But it doesn't solve the issue.
What should i do?

I don't want to play with automatic shifting

=========================

Edit:

Ok it seems i have to fix the fps at 60.
At this framerate everything works fine.

update the driver of your gamepad as well as your graphics card
