TDU on Windows 10

[datsunsss]

Is there anyone else here that is struggling to get TDU to work on Windows 10?

 

I get into the game once, exit and then when I want to play again it just crashes.

 

Have it running in compatibility mode for Vista, with carpack, 1.66a patch installed with it patched further to 1.68b.

 

Getting beyond frustrating now...:jealous:

Hey dude! The anti-piracy DRM, Securom, that comes with TDU is the problem. Unfortunately Windows 10 has issues with it, Microsoft believes it's a loophole for viruses. You can read more here: Windows 10 won't run games with SecuROM DRM, says Microsoft | Ars Technica UK

 

I don't think anyone is yet to figure out a workaround, other than dual-boot Windows 7 or something like that, hopefully they will in the future!

Some say that you could test-sign the Securom drivers (difficult):

But I've not seen a guide for this specific example yet.

Hey man!

 

Thanks for the info, thought the DRM might be causing issues. I have even tried a no-dvd .exe and it still just crashes on launch. Not sure what I am missing here...

[Ryzza5]

The IGA files probably

[datsunsss]

Which files are those Ryzza?

[Ryzza5]

I seem to recall them accompanying some NoDVD patches.

I am using Windows 7 and no problem :-B.

 

If you are sticking on use of that spying Win10, try the crack from R.G. Mechanics - for me it worked, and all the mod worked with it... And I have friends on Win10, and for those it works SUPER, even if the original game weren't working. And even with the crack you can play with Project Paradise, and most of mods.

Widows 10?

 

I have a pc now running windows 10 and tdu has stopped running. Game ran perfectly on win 7 but since upgrading it has stopped working. (I have tried compatibility mode). I launch the game and about 5 minutes later I get a black screen pop up and the message test drive unlimited has stopped working.

 

Any help is much appreciated as I love this game!

 

Thanks

Well I've tried everything, even no-cd cracks, but I can't get the damn thing to run on Windows 10. Anyone got an idea? lol

That might have to happen :(

 

I tried in a Windows 7 virtual machine... nope. Doesn't work. :fp:

[Ryzza5]

Duh, of course it won't work in a VM.

Uhh... thanks.

"5 minutes"? So what happens between you launching the game and it crashing?

Silly question but you did try a completely fresh game install as well?

Duh, of course it won't work in a VM.

:confused:

[MagicV8]

Running Win 7 in an actual VMware Workstation could do the job, virtuabox won't do so.

[Ryzza5]

Unless said VM has direct access to your graphics card (which means the host OS is using another GPU) then Direct3D games aren't really going to work (unless they're really old and/or have Software Rendering).

got you bro !! i had this problem and figured it out my self. Go to your local hard drive, program data (if you cant see it , unlock hidden folders) and look for a Atari folder and delete it

i had issue since win8,8.1 and 10. i do this to get TDU and some old games working.

 

> Start ..right click > Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features > Turn Windows features on or off > ..uncheck.. Internet Explorer 11 > OK and restart.

 

;)

[Ryzza5]

Interesting, I'll give that a go.

New PC windows 10 Crashing

 

So i finally got my 4k UHD rig and TDU is crashing as much as possible. Game loaded like once (after crashing 4 times) then never again. Just keeps on crashing at launch. Anyone can help? I tried all the compatibility settings, they do not help one bit.

 

Specs:

Intel 6820HK OC @ 4.1

16.00 RAM

3840 x 2160 @ 60hz Screen

GTX 980M with 8gb ddr5 || and graphics amplifier with 980 ti sc

[iNotACactus]

I haven't played in ages but I've heard of TDU not working as early as Windows 7. Makes sense as lots of games are just not built to accomodate the oddities of the newer versions.

 

Have you considered running in a VM, maybe Windows XP 64-bit? With your specs you won't likely notice any difference in performance/graphics.

[acevt06]

Tried all these methods, nothing worked for me.. damn. Hopefully something else comes up.
