Hopefully this patch will help with maintaining game stability. 1gb RAM limit is a serious bottleneck with all mods installed (even without considering fairly optimized cars). I remember not using HDU patch in the past because of crashes - might be linked to this issue ?! Thanks to @Mondodimotori for the time spent on investigation and solution And of course thanks @Milli for bringing new fellows down here !!

Dude! That's why we need smart people on the forums! I mean, i knew that some cars caused that glitch, and that is a problem of a not very well optimized mod, usually a mistake made by the modder of the car. But i never knew how to fix, other than using another model or car. What you found is not a solution, but it will do, untill we don't get new mods to replace the "ram hungry" ones. Thank you very much. And you can feel free to post a new thread in the TDU modding section about it though.

Jesus christ, thank you so much dude, this patch worked for me too I was so confused about that huge FPS drops/crashes, finally this issue was gone. https://ntcore.com/files/4gb_patch.zip - if someone also have the same issue, use this link

So that's what made the AE86 mission lag? GODDAMNIT, this shit should be on first post and stickied or something.

Thank you very much! It's working flawlessly

I have uploaded it for you.

Well, I don't want to make big proclaims, but there is a very good possibility that I solved the issue. Today, after work, I did some more test. A 25 minutes run with the GT86, a car that never presented any problem before. And, after 25 minutes of gameplay, the RAM usage of the game was around 400 mb. No problems whatsoever. Then I did a second test. I rebooted the game, and switched to the Skyline R32. The first 10 minutes of gameplay went on smooth, with the RAM usage around 300-400 mb. But then, suddenly, the game started eating RAM. 100 mb every 2 minutes, till it reached around 1 GB of total usage at the 25 minutes mark. And then the FPS tanked. Just like yesterday. The GPu went to 99% of total usage to 20%. Then my brain started to working. What if the executable can't use more than 1 GB of RAM? That would explain the drop, since the lock on RAM usage would bottleneck the GPU, getting it to perform only 20% of its power. So I used the legendary (in the rFactor community, at leat) "4 GB Patch". A patch that modify any executable to work without RAM restrictions. And it worked. The patch did not comprimised the executable, and I was able to play for an hour straight with my R32, even surpassing that 1 GB mark, and then switching to the AE86 Trueno. No problems, no FPS drops, no nothing. And the game even start being less "hungry" for RAM when it surpass the 1 GB mark, assesting itself around 1.2/1.4 GB of total RAM usage. Someone should give me a little medal for all this testing... About the "4 GB Patch", you should be able to find it youself on the net. If not, I ask permission to an administrator to post it in this thread, since it could be usefull to more people, and would increment the amount of testing on it, to see if it actually work flawlessly, or my 1 hr run without problems was just dumb luck.

Yeah, we are discussing only stuff and problems mod related (hence the title of the thread) Glad I could be helpfull. Enjoy.

The game has a dedicated key to start the car. In the option menu it should be called "play" or "start". Basically, you always need to manually start the car when entering free roam or an event. Go find the option and bind it to a key different from "accelerate". This isn't even a mod related problem, maybe we should keep this thread to just related stuff and problems. And I'm a newby too, I shouldn't be telling you this.

@Milli Great work ! MotoGamesTV upload gameplay video

@Milli #bugReport First of all, thanks. Thanks a lot for this massive work. I found it casually surfing youtube, and saw a video about it. It basically made me start a new game on TDU since 2012, probably. And since I started yesterdaay, I could not stop playing it, because the sheer amount of new content in amazing, and I found again that amazement in exploring the game to find the car of my dreams (I didn't read the car list to not spoil any surprise). So thank you a lot for all this hard work. But now, for the bug report, I'm having a strange issue, apart from the bug at race ending (stuck in the winning screen, but with interior view, not bothering since it happened only in one race (twice, maybe a problem with that race in particular), and it still saved the result). The biggest (and only) serious problem happens while I drive my Skyline R32. The game, after 15-20 minutes of play, suddenly lose frames (It start playing at 2-3 frames per seconds), and became unplayable. I can only manage to quit game, if it does't crash before I reach the "Exit" in the menu. For now, I have tried messing with the HD, SD or OFF in the fx tweak in the launcer, rebooting my pc and playing with another car. The last option seems to work, but I need to play a longer session later in the evening. Of course, this last option is not practical, since I can't drive anymore my beloved Skyline R32. Later I will try the last resort, that is to re-check the torrent file for corruption, re-extract the archive, and replace all the files all over again. I will let you know if anything changes with the last solutions, probably I will edit this post. PS: The first time I encountered this bug, I was in the mod shop with my R32. With the dead frame rate, I also noticed some corrupted textures and models before the game died for good. Since it looks like the game suddenly stop using the dedicated video card, I will try long play sessions in other games. Hopes is not my hardware... Still a potato PC for 2019 standards, but a decent machine a few years back. PPS: I've installed the mod on an original installation of the game, with both official 1.66 patch and megapack. EDIT: I've noticed now the 1.03 update. I'll try it and let you know.

As far as I'm concerned, that's a feature. It was implemented way back, with an old patch, I think. They did it so cops can show up during online gameplay or something.

Did you try it yet? Xbox1 drivers should connect because they're xinput. But if they don't, try x360ce, 32-bit build.
