Guys, progress is happening, at slow pace, since i have even less free time, but TDU Platinum v2.0 (a.k.a former update 1.13 that grew enough to be called v2.0) is happening.

I did. Sadly it doesn't help. I also gave Project Paradise admin perms. Do I need to use the torrent version of the modpack, or is it okay if I used the Google Drive link?

 

I've heard you told one user who had a similar issue to update their DirectX... which version might it be?

Don't delete the d3d9.dll, otherwise it won't work. Missing cars is bigbnk not being active. Either by you not activating it, or by Project Paradise not working.

Also, by the way...

Hi, thanks for your reply.

 

I did not delete d3d9.dll (at least not intentionally, and never deleted it in general) and bigbnk is checkmarked in the Project Paradise launcher. I updated Directx9 and made sure I have the newest version of it.

 

Could it be because I own the retail CD version? I heard there is a gold version of the game with all the DLCs that I might be missing out.

No, all you need is a copy of TDU installed. Gold or non-gold. Megapack and DLC is not necessary. If you correctly installed it, project paradise is working, big bnk is active, then you should have the cars. 

Make sure that your game, in the main menu screen, reads as v0.03a, instead of 1.66 or anything like it.

In the main menu screen, it reads as v0.03a, I dragged and dropped everything from the "Test Drive Unlimited" folder into the main game's directory, I load the game via the Project Paradise Launcher (also as an admin), I check Big .bnk, I cleared every save, I've also installed it on the C : drive, still the same issue. Once I buy a rented "invisible" car, the game crashes.

 

Do you think using a savefile would help, although it being heavily discouraged?

Edit: What I've noticed is that even with VSync enabled, I receive around 120 FPS in the rent a car dealership, whereas I get around 60 FPS during cutscenes. I've tried limiting the FPS with RTSS and NVIDIA Control Panel, none of them worked... 😞

No. It's not a savegame. And i have no clue about what your issue is.

Don't run it with RTSS running, i've had that cause problems before (it 'clashes' with the project paradise launcher i think). 120 fps in the 'shops' is fine, as is 60fps in game when using Vsync from the project paradise launcher, it's working ok.

 

However i'd suggest you might be looking to do a complete reinstall from scratch and follow closely the video guide at the start of this thread. I also have the retail disk and following that video guide 'exactly' helped me to get it to run fine. I did install outside of the C: drive and 'Program Files' though to avoid any potential admin access issues from that. My game is on E:\\Games\Atari etc.

First off, this mod is absolutely incredible!  I don't know how much the physics were tweaks for the modded cars but coming from Assetto Corsa, some of these cars are spot-on in hardcore mode! 

I have one request though: make Hardcode mode unlocked by default, or at least make it an option to gain champion status by default. 

It took me several hours to unlock and I basically cheesed it by buying cars and doing a single challenge over and over again.  I have several friends who won't try this game coming from Assetto Corsa simply because of this limitation.  Sim racing enthusiasts like me would be crawling all over this game if hardcore mode could be used from the get go.

Using a savegame fixes your issue:

I guess it is too difficult to use the savegame mentioned above as online profile under custom nickname. I would appreciate to read some review and steps done to make that savegame working.

Hey everybody!

I'm enjoying the Platinum patch very, very much! It made me return to the game after a few years and remember how great the handling is in TDU and how great it is to drive around an actual, realistic (and gorgeous) location.

I have a question though. Is it possible to reduce the shine on the cars? On most of them it's a bit excessive, not realistic at all IMO. Is there a setting that handles this or is it something that's coded in each car model?

I have published some setting results done ingame and/or in the launcher.
