"Failed to connect the TEST DRIVE SERVER, please check your nettwork connection" and i tell you, its fine, what can i do?

[Gunned_Down666]

have you unblocked it wiht your firewall??

[SR20DET]

yesyes. and now i reinstaled the patch + rs PC. still not working. :(

[Gunned_Down666]

sorry dude i cant help you then..

[RamseyOfficial]

go and delete the addon.txt from the system TDU folder.

[Iced_Bullet]

Is it a legal version of the Game and Megapack? (Did you buy them both)?

[And3rs]

did you shut down TDU when you innstalled new patch's?

[Gunned_Down666]

did u ever have a downloaded copy before you bought a legal copy??

[RamseyOfficial]

i dont think its legal..the cd-key you used must have been exposed to hundreds of thousands of downloaders of that same file therefore make online play disabled.

yes, the megapack, both legal version.

its legal. just bought it from the TDU web site.

[SR20DET]

did u ever have a downloaded copy before you bought a legal copy??

 

 

yes. and i deleted it while i was downloading the real version.

Maybe it's the old TDU serial code still active then?

[BobbyV]

yes. and i deleted it while i was downloading the real version.

Just make sure u completely removed both old cd key files (cdkey.txt & addon.txt files) BEFORE u install a legal copy. U can edit these manually though with notepad, entering ur legal key. And u HAVE to start new profle in order to play online. Old profiles don't work with a different cd key...

how can i find out? and remove it?

 

when i instaled the legal one, i used the new cdkey. on the megapack to.

[Andreas¹]

Oh, there might be your problem. Don't use the TDU serial on the magpack. When you bought the Megapack, you should've gotten a mail with the serial in it? Also, se what Bobby wrote above you.

where do you find those files?

[Andreas¹]

If you are on XP:

C/Documents and Setting/All Users/Application Data/Test Drive Unlimited

Make sure you show hidden files and system files, or it wont show.

To both of you.. You have to show system files aswell, but I think that was just for radial... Hmm >_> But try it anyway
