Djey: TDU Community PATCH 2.00A

[John Jorell]

Reward cars are only given to you once for free after completing certain conditions. Once you sell it, you can never buy it again. So if I were you, don't just rid it off your garage.

Hello dear Sirs, I verify that traffic disappears going from the main south city to upper part of Hawaii. And when it happens and I try to quit the game, it hangs at the last screen.

And one showroom contains 6 same cars.

 

I use windows 7 x64, TDU from the dvd (virtual/perfect copy), have no idea what kind of region it is. Official carmegapack and latest full CP. No mods or tools, I am only interested in fixes that Atari failled to deliver.

 

Also I get an error message when I try to apply HD script. Two errors that doesn't tell anything with exit codes 0. Using latest Java. Will copy - paste the log in 12hours.

Well since no one has replied, I assume people are busy or they simply don't know what to say. TDU CP 2.00A release 3 is my first ever community patch I've tried, I don't use any mods. If you start a new game or just want to race offline this patch introduces more bugs and crashes when it actually fixes. I have no idea why developer has put "stable" label to it.

 

One Chevrolet only race is unplayable, because it just hangs at the lineup screen, every single time.

More than half G category races either hang or crash. Restarting the game and trying to play them again usually works if not the first, then second time.

AI traffic is much worse than original. After 5 - 10 mins of the game it disappears, making next race to crash.

Car showrooms introduce crashes too. Not so often though.

One car showroom, has an invisible car.

Many times it has crashed on Millionaires challenge after 29 minutes of driving.

And additional random crashes in random races.

 

Without TDU CP 2.00A release 3, none of those are present. Community patch renders this game totally unplayable. And TDU by itself is not the most stable or bug-free game either. It's a big WARNING, to NEW users of this patch. I have no idea why these things were not addressed. I use UK version of the game + patch 1.66a + carmegapack.

I'd reply, but i don't use Patch 2.00 aswell. I use 1.68b. But the changes i've made on the database since i installed it is massive, that i don't remember how it was when i installed.

 

All i can say is, all races are working and so are traffic. Maybe you should give it a try.

Wow what a kind feedback, I appreciate! Or not :)

 

just for your information, even if this project is stopped, I would not put a stable label if it was not; I test every single of change I've made into this piece of crap. Literally.

 

So ya, you seem to be the first person having such issues with this version - or the single one having downloaded it. Sorry so :D

 

Good luck with patch 1.68b, have fun! And beware, I've also made it so it might not work as expected.

 

Kind regards.

[kovalsky]

ah ah ,i like your answer ,djey ,you have great humor ,and thank you for all programs and community patch you releases,making tdu interesting ...respect ...

I'm aware that You've created both of those patches. I'm also aware that You donated a lot of your time to make TDU better. But if read all this thread, You can see that I'm not the only one reporting these problems. I may be the one who put more salt than others in a very direct way.

1.68b have none of those problems I've mentioned.

 

And I would love if we cooperated to track down what is causing all of that.

[TDUZoqqer]

I have downloaded the patch and it works fluently. Even a buttload of mods installed which would actually make the game even more unstable, but it all works fluently. I don't know what your issue is.

Dude its not working on me :'( idk why

[namek]

Lucky. Well I've followed the instructions, maybe instructions are wrong? Maybe you did it in a different way? Maybe...

Clean installation, I'even removed registry, program data and profile folders. Installed from scratch. Patched. Then megapack. Then full CP. Result - unplayable.

[MagicV8]

Are you using Windows 10?

[namek]

Are you using Windows 10?

 

Nope, Windows 7 x64. 1.68b works perfectly tho'

[John Jorell]

Try doing a fresh & clean re-install of your TDU first, Patch 1.66A comes after, then Megapack, next 1.68b and finally, 2.00A. I did one just yesterday and still works like charm. I can still play with my mods in 2.00A as of now both in my Win 7 & 10. But if you want 1.68b, just make sure you back it up.

[namek]

Will try, if it works, means that official instructions are wrong and has to be updated.

[Djey]

Namek, any news concerning your issues ?

[namek]

Namek, any news concerning your issues ?

 

Not yet, have a lot of work to do, this week I hope to find the time and do what was offered to me.

[namek]

Namek, any news concerning your issues ?

 

Using John Jorell suggestion, I did what was told. I've played about an hour or two. Traffic disappeared and crashed. This time, I haven't used included HD patch. And will stop playing 2.00A further, unless someone will help me to find the cause and solution, because it's very annoying and time wasting. Until then 1.68b only.

[NismoFanboy77]

i use windows 8.1 x64

[Shadic82]

Alright i am myself having issue with this patch i installed it directly on update game with megapack and at some saloons i see same car for example in one pontiac saloon there was only pontiac gtos and in alfa romero at beginning there is 2x alfa gt

[napalm]

I downloaded TDU base game and it runs from the folder on my desktop but there is no TDU folder in my Program Files, so I can't install patches, etc.

[John Jorell]

It's installed in Program Files (x86) then look for Atari folder and then Test Drive Unlimited folder. That's where the main TDU directory is.

[Umbo]

Hello everyone,

 

I'm new. I just discovered TDU (well, kind off).

I found a guide on the internet that listed some mods/patches for it.

I installed the base game, the car mega pack, the patch 1.68b.

The guide said to make sure that the game runs before the last step. So I did, and it ran fine.

 

Then I proceeded to install this patch 2.00a. I made a backup of my TDU install, then I extracted the contents of the patch 2.00a update into my TDU install dir.

Then I ran the TDUCP-2.00A-install.cmd (I got admin rights, yes), but it's giving me a funny error I don't understand.

 

Here is the log...

:cry: Kindly, can you tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Regards -- and thank you.

[Djey]

Hi,

 

there's some integrity issues in your database apparently (even if the game seems to run). TDUCP update won't patch database with failures.

 

Since you're starting TDU from scratch, why don't you just use FULL TDUCP 2.0 over clean TDU Install ? (with Megapack if you have?). Don't install 1.68B as 2.00 includes everything.

 

That is explained in the OP, I think.

[Umbo]

Hello,

I'll do as you say. Later today (once back home) I'll uninstall and reinstall TDU.

Then I'll apply the car Megapack followed by the patch 2.00a Full.

I'll come back to report the outcome.

 

Thank you for the assistance :)
