Game crashes when I try to connect online

[clingwrapkiller]

Hi,

I am new to TDU Platinum. When I make a Gamespy account and try to connect to online servers, on the screen where it says "Connecting to Test Drive...", my game immediately freezes, and I have to end task to close the game. The game will launch fine with an offline profile.

This was also happening before I installed the mod. I have since uninstalled and reinstalled the game/mod, and it still does the same thing when I try to go online.

What have I missed regarding connecting to multiplayer?

Hi,

something might prevent you from connecting to community server (hosted in France by OVH provider). Check any antivirus/firewall/endpoint protection you may have in active state.

Try to use a VPN to get past that first connection. I assume you are creating a new profile, right?  Once you complete the first tasks in game, you won't need VPN to connect again.

I am from Australia, so if the community server is from France then that would explain why I was having trouble connecting. The good thing is that Milli's suggestion worked, so thankyou Milli, love your work.

check if the game is blocked by an antivirus or firewall, also make sure that you have port 8889 open or use vpn

This is odd, most of the people who are unable to connect to the TDU severs, are from Australia.

Make sure that your game is not blocked by antivirus and firewall add the game to the antivirus and firewall exceptions

Log in to your router settings as a rule, you can find instructions on the official website of the developer of your router

You need to open port 8889 in your router settings and also make sure that the game is included in the antivirus and firewall exceptions as they can block online mode

enter the name of the router in Google it should show the router manufacturer's website or try using the VPN service if the router does not open the settings
