Tdu2 Servers Down

occbiker · May 30, 2014

I have tried to contact Atari about this problem and there is no response!

The problem is when playing in offline mode, you can't purchase the DLC cars and bikes with the money you earn in the game!

Warning to anyone who is going to purchase DLC you have no access to it when you are offline!! I have tried using a online profile in offline mode and Atari has locked me out of what I payed RL money for!!!

Atari could fix this problem with a update and alow people to purchase the payed DLC offline!

What do you mean "can't purchase the DLC cars and bikes with the money you earn in the game"? You aren't supposed to be able to. It has happened a few times but that has been due to bugs with the server, and cars that are purchased in that time period are turned into Miami Mustangs when the bug eventually irons itself out.

He meant he purchased DLC-Cars with Atari-token but cannot buy them in offline-mode with ingame-money because you have no connection to the server that sais "Yes you are allowed to buy these cars". That is a known problem, but how would you fix it? The problem is that the carfiles are already in the game weather you bought them with token or not. They are just locked at the beginning.

Atari programmed this wrong in the first place. They better way had been to buy them and then install the carfiles via update. So players who are not allowed to have these cars, because they didn't purchased them with token, would not have the files to unlock them illegally.

But to help you out with the problem. You can get these cars by hotswap. We have a tutorial at tdumods.com how to do it. Since the servers detect stolen DLCs, we decided that it is not a problem anymore to provide how to do it. If you would restart the game online with DLCs you didn't purchase with token, you would get pink Miami Mustangs anyway. ;)

@Andreaz: If the last sentence is against boardrules delete it. ;)

It is possible to buy DLC cars in offline mode. All you need is an old game exe from before the DLC1 patch, e.g. the game exe file from version 097 build 6 (the last one before the DLC1 patch).

With this old game exe you can buy any car that is shown in any showroom, even the DLC cars. That's a nice way to get the DLC cars in your offline profile, too.

With an online profile in offline mode you can buy every DLC car, too, even these you did not purchase with Atari Tokens. But when you are online the next time with the current game version every car you did not buy with Tokens will be changed into the "pink pleague" (Miami's pink Mustang ;) ). But all DLC cars you have already purchased with Tokens will stay in the savegame and can be used as usual.

The only rides that you can't buy in this way are the bikes, because the bike shop did not exist in the game versions before DLC1, so the game will crash when you want to enter the bike shop.
