[RELEASED] Test Drive Unlimited Platinum - v1.21

[Gevo354]

So nothing still works regarding the controller. I have no clue why; I restarted the game, PC, reinstalled, tried different USB ports, installed different drivers, and the rest. It's not meant to be and that's fine, I can keep myself entertained with other things. Thank you to those who helped, I appreciate it. Maybe the dev can release a patch of sorts to fix this, but I doubt it since there's a tiny marginal amount of people having this issue on an old game who's fanbase isn't so big.

Perhaps TDU will be enabled in the next patch and your controller in the game will work fine the developer's website usually indicates the changes made by the update just wait for the update

check your internet connection and try reinstalling the Paradise Launcher project since the launcher version is not displayed in your game

Make sure d3d9.dll is in the folder, the game must say v0.03a instead of v1.66 and enable big bnk in the project paradise launcher.

Hi and thank for your asnwer, if I put d3d9.dll I can't play,  windows say (0xc000007b) and the game can't start. If I delete yes, but the game have some errors and sometimes crash. I have windows 7 64 bits. The game version put v.166a

 

Edit:

I have the solution for the windows problem (0xc000007b).

And I discovered if you delete the file d3d9.dll the game open but crash and the version of the game is 1.66a if you delete this file.

If you put  d3d9.dll and open the game the version is 0.03 and the game works good.

For the people have the same problem (0xc000007b). go to this link: https://mega.nz/file/ieJTGAAL#-1PEEEzdXgI9ZQnH9YduOdsLqZH9Qm1QkgR2laeoApg

download and copy all the files. Now if you have windows 32 bits go to C:/ Windows/System32 and paste all files.

If you have windows 64 bits go to C:/ Windows/SysWow64 and paste all the files.

For some reason i do not see some 1.21 patch cars in showrooms, for example Chiron SS, Only Chiron Sport. Unable to find SSC Aero too. Already made sure to have patch 1.0 files overwritten by 1.21. big bnk enabled in PP launcher, d3d likely yes, but i will check (assuming in root TDU folder in Program Files). Hopefully next patch will be compiled and will fix it. Btw. interesting was that i can see some Bugatti SS of other players (am i looking in correct showroom for Bugatti SS? (the one that is at the end of the straight road that is below highway going north from the main city).

Buy a Chiron and take it to the tune shop. 

SSC Ultimate Aero was added in the US Dealership Update.

I did, but Supersport is not there only Sport. You can see it on the video where i buy the car and go to the Tuner. I already tried to tune to both versions but entering the tuner again does not offer SS.

You haven't updated it to 1.21 then.

TDU Police Departament might get a new fleet. Watch out for speeding tickets, boys.

Hey guys I just logged in to share some problem I just solved. Long story short I ruined my Platinum install that I had since 2020.Did a clean Tdu install, and then dragged and dropped all files from base v1. 0 platinum mod+latest update. 

I had no ground textures, no house interiors and I couldn't figure out what I did wrong. Then I realized that zip file with all the files have folder called Test drive unlimited, which I lazily just copied over to my Tdu root directory... So it looked like atari/Test drive unlimited/test drive unlimited... Which is wrong... 

 

Be aware of that,don't drag and drop everything in one go...

That's right it's better to install platinum according to the instructions

Not sure if I did the install wrongly, but whenever I'm hovering over an event or car dealer, it just shows this grey box with no details on it. I had Big Bnk enabled and I installed the HD Textures from the extras folder

Also, Alt+Tab'ing just makes the game appear black with nothing displaying

Found the problem for no details being displayed for events. Just needed to check the High DPI Override in the compatibility settings for the Project Paradise Launcher. Alt+Tab'ing is still an issue though

Try reinstalling the TDU Platinum, your game files may have been damaged or check your video adapter settings, they may not be installed correctly or reset to factory settings.

Yes, this happen to me also (and so i expect it is not file damage mentioned by Andrey).
Try to observe if it is related to any particular app from which you switch to TDU, or about delay spent outside of TDU window, or returning using Alt+Tab versus clicking window in task bar to return to TDU.

Ok, now for whatever reason, Alt+Tab'ing seems to be fine now, I've done nothing since posting the update on the High DPI Override, but I'll update accordingly if anything messes up again

I'm not sure if you've figure it out yet, or if this'll work for you... But I read somewhere that with some controls like analog sticks and triggers they need to be held down for a second or two for the game to recognize the input when mapping. Maybe give that a try, and hopefully it helps.

Do not delete d3d9.dll, run the game via Project Paradise Launcher and in the launcher, make sure to enable bigbnk.
