TDU2: Unofficial Patch v0.4.1

July 01, 2021

The main goal of this project was to track down and fix many little bugs that were missed by the developers. As the time went by we started adding our own custom content. The patch grew bigger and bigger to the point that UP started to look more like a modpack than a small patch.

TDU2: UP fixes a lot of car's specific bugs - like Lotus Evora gear ratios, Audi Q7 collapsing into tarmac etc. To preserve vanilla driving feeling and performance my changes to the car's physics were done very conservatively.

This mod provides easy access to vehicles (through dealerships) which were removed from the final game. The first release of the patch restored to the game all deleted cars (for example Nissan 370z Nismo and HotRod). Future releases provided cars made by our talented modders. All new vehicles have improved physics and balanced performance - player without UP would still have a chance of winning in multiplayer race using only official vehicles from the same segment - do not worry.

I have spent hundreds of hours preparing this mod. If you want to express your gratitude for my hard work you are welcome to donate.

Thank you for your support and kind words. I really appreciate that.

 

WARNING!

If you don't want our mod cars turn into Miami's Mustangs DO NOT run TDU2 without Unofficial Patch. Never ever. If you have to run the game without TDU2UP at least backup your savegame!

Since the version 0.4.1 you are no longer required to unpack the game in order to install the Unofficial Patch.
Just install the mod to your regular TDU2 directory and play - very easy!

[ScoobSTi]

Looks nice so far! Hopefully TDU2 can finally become the TDU2 we've always wanted.

[BAk99]

Might be worth buying TDU2 for PC now. Nice One! Will be picking up a copy on payday ;]

[Fear Deer]

Hopefully TDU2 can finally become the TDU2 we've always wanted.

 

[Eudemon]

Wow that's quite an undertaking, best of luck and I'm sure many people can't wait to follow your progress on this. :)

[BioHazard7911]

What will be done about the DLC cars? Will they be unlocked somehow?

 

Will be following this :)

[Incognito]

I am patiently waiting for any new progress and release :)

[Ryzza5]

Will be following this :)

 

DLC cars are unlocked when you buy them ;)

 

 

 

How do we know Atari won't bring down the TDU2 servers in a few months? :hmmm:

[BAk99]

Atari are dead but Ivory Tower are still active. They'de be stupid to completely cut off TDU from history.

[BioHazard7911]

How do we know Atari won't bring down the TDU2 servers in a few months? :hmmm:

 

I guess I better get a cracked version of TDU1 and TDU2, I never bought the DLCs for them.

 

Yeah, that already happened. Atari abandoned the forums and TDU2 entirely, go on the Test Drive Unlimited 2 facebook page and see for yourself.

 

EDIT: Nah I'm wrong, apparently they are back but I dunno if I really want to jump back in..I'll try getting my account back (if I can) and go from there.

 

EDIT2: They are screwing up, from what I have read, everyone that has the game can't play because of the bad connectivity with the servers and the constant maintenance, and the account retrieval on my end isn't going to work because the main site still has the "Please contact the site admin" issue, meaning the forum merge has still been abandoned.

[Soundwave]

Discussing about getting cracked content is against the rules here. :evil:

[Xarlith]

It is very easy but i won't do it until it is possible to buy AT at their website. Sorry.

 

account retrieval on my end isn't going to work because the main site still has the "Please contact the site admin" issue, meaning the forum merge has still been abandoned.

Create new account on atari website.

[MagicV8]

Sounds all very nice, Xarlith. :thumbsup:

 

One little addition

With Aston Martin V12 Vantage (both versions I think) the rear left wheel is a bit too much outside the car body ... or the rear right one too much inside.

How ever you take it. ;)

[VooDooShamane]

I would say right one is to much inside, cause outside is sexy:nods:

Anyways, i wish you good luck with this project xarlith.

Love to see someone with so much engagement in fixing tdu2.

[MadManCK]

Looks very promising so far. And please refrain from unlocking any DLC. Keep this unofficial patch "clean".

This is what Eden and Atari should have done long time ago. After the countless bug reports since the early Beta, very little was actually done.

 

This initiative and the Physics improvements (HC included) are what TDU2 needs.

Good luck with the project:cool:

 

PS Things that were in the community patch, like fixing the holes in Cockpits (RGT), offset wheels, indicator lights, indicator sound, windshield tinting adjustments, wrong numbers on dials and other minor graphical glitches, will they be included as well? Maybe contact Speeder or Viltsua about it, so you don't need to do the same thing twice:D

 

Audi Sport Quattro seems to be in the files, but without car model. There are probably more cars like that.

Also some cars are ridiculous after the last update. The Gumpert is a real handful.

 

* The usual request from me regarding uncontrolled sliding of the cars (especially 4WD), locking brakes and other physics related stuff.

* Maybe even a working FFB for wheels (weight transfer etc)

* Curb kicks in lower ride height cars.

* Koenigsegg with open top option.

* Unlock hidden clothing and avatar customizing options, like tattoos

* Dial from the Gumpert is hardly readable as it is black on a black background

* Change the tire thread direction (they are backwards now)

* Create a "portal" to Eden Island

* Allow free walking

* Rim painting in the paint shop

* Finish the Auction Hall (if the files are there)

* Add car slots so there is no need for body swaps anymore

* Import option for all the cars from TDU1 (LOL)

* Super Bonus Project: Add a slot for a new location:lol:

 

Other things to consider fixing, less important but cool for videos or as a finishing touch, are:

* Working dials in replay mode (Atom V8 has it, most cars have not)

* Extra viewpoints in replay mode, like hood cam or free cam

 

I don't know what is possible or not. These are just a few ideas;)

[BioHazard7911]

Discussing about getting cracked content is against the rules here. :evil:

 

It won't be mentioned again, I'm sorry.

 

It was just a quick thought, that's all :L

[sfy2004]

seems like you have quite a bit of work to do, thanks for doing this.

 

MadMan already mentioned some of the things i've noticed need fixing.

[styled]

Now this, this is just awesome. :drool:

[vanaardep]

Would it be possible to fix the bug with the police stickers?

 

I have gotten away from the cops twice, the dialog saying I have unlocked the police stickers showed up, but they are nowhere to be found in the sticker shop.

 

Just a suggestion :)

[Xarlith]

Have you tried to stick another car (Pagani should work)? Some brands like Mercedes and Lotus have limited number of sticker sets.

If that's the issue I'll check what can be done to unlock all stickers for every car.

[jcmmota]

Depending on the interest there is a possibility to include much more vehicles (for example Pagani Zonda R, Koenigsegg Agera or Audi Quattro S1) in future releases. The only condition is that there has to be a high quality model made by talented modder who will want to include his modification in patch installer.

 

Maybe you could add your Lambo Countach. It looks "high quality" to me.

[Emir13]

Would it be possible to make interior gauges to not flicker? (I already posted question in forum)

 

And electronic part in dashboard (for example Alfa Brera and some other, or all cars)

 

Thanks ^_^

[Xarlith]

Maybe you could add your Lambo Countach. It looks "high quality" to me.

I could but I would have to swap it for another unfinished car. Unfortunately it seems that there are no 3D BNK slots for Lamborghinis. EDIT: I've just found a workaround for lack of BNK slot but still need to fix brakes. And BTW there are some things like interior texture mapping that should be corrected to call Countach a high quality model but I will try to include as much mods as it is possible but they have to got at least working lights and indicators :).

 

After the first release (which is very close, I'm currently testing installer for all language versions of TDU2) I would try to make a list of cars which are working out of the box, or are easy to repair (still don't know how to fix no brakes issue in more than a half of all cars :cry:). If there will be a ready model for those vehicles (like StarGT's 300C) it can be included into installer with proper credits etc. , or I would provide a link to the modification and you will have to install this mod by yourselves.

 

Would it be possible to make interior gauges to not flicker? (I already posted question in forum)

I don't know. That seems to be a shader problem. After exporting and importing the model back to TDU gauges start to flicker more often.

electronic part in dashboard (for example Alfa Brera and some other, or all cars)

Sure, but it will require to edit every car model separately, and it will be a static image :/.

[Emir13]

I know, can you do just static image ONLY for Brera and indicators for Brera?

[vanaardep]

If that's the issue I'll check what can be done to unlock all stickers for every car.

 

Ok i tried with various other cars now and its the same story, it seems the police stickers are just not showing up in the sticker shops.
