Time to re-discover the island of Oahu. TDU Platinum pursue the objective to be more than a collection of many different mods in a pack, the objective is to deliver a whole new experience, a whole new way to play with endless possibilities to choose at your own demand, ready to go. The work being done is beyond the gathering of different vehicles, sounds and gauges from different online websites and packing them together, it goes further to new physics, brand new weather, compatible with HDiR, new world textures and also new music for background and radio statios. New Physics Over 880 vehicles Correct color names Dedicated camera for each vehicle New weather - HDiR compatible New map textures New radio stations Easily moddable Easy installation Optional Russian language Toolkit How to install (By No_Longer_Tipsy): Images Modders and special mentions Djey Speeder Pator5 Minime891 Mondodimotori TDUZoqqer Combat-Shotgun Norby931 Miha2795 Tool831 2CV SUPER GT StarGT PhatPunk Reventon09 DriverTDU Takumi Acvet06 Doctor G DjoyTinnio Urban iLLusion Zebukas FenixZ Kvrt666 VDVS Opelos_HUN Tob-Racer MagicV8 Rulezzz Ryzza5 VDV522 XtensoJDM t0m3k911 scuderia458 =Comp@ct= Sourkho And many other who have worked to keep TDU alive and interesting for so many years. TDUCk HF Garage TDULOG :: Test Drive Unlimited tdu.net.ru Drivers-paradise Without everyone, TDU Platinum wouldn't be anything more than a dream, so, all those people deserve a round of applause and we'll meet somewhere in Hawaii. -Always remember to make a backup of your game before you perform any modification. - For existing profiles, it's recommended to sell your vehicles and stay only with an Alfa Romeo GT BEFORE you install TDU Platinum. - If you're not feeling like selling all vehicles, just drive off the house with an Alfa Romeo GT BEFORE you install TDU Platinum, but this method might crash your game once you check some vehicles in the garage. - Original copy of TDU installed - CPU: Pentium 4/Athlon XP or better - CPU SPEED: 3 GHz - RAM: 2 GB - OS: Windows 2000/XP and above - VIDEO CARD: 512MB Video Card with Pixel & Vertex Shader 2.0 (NVIDIA GeForce 7600+ / ATI Radeon X1600+) - TOTAL VIDEO RAM: 512 MB - 3D: Yes - HARDWARE T&L: Yes - PIXEL SHADER: 3.0 - VERTEX SHADER: 3.0 - DIRECTX VERSION: DirectX 9.0c included - SOUND CARD: Yes - FREE DISK SPACE: 18 GB - Additional Google Drive link ---> Update Patch Q. Why does some vehicles display an absurd Top Speed? That's because how TDU was codded. Sadly, to get the gear ratios to work as they should, you must set the car's Top Speed as the top gear speed. Which means, the maximum speed that the final gear could achieve, regardless of it's power or drag. Usually, vehicles that have an "Overdrive gear" will display absurd values, since the last gear is really long, with the porpouse of fuel saving. Q. Ok, but why it is actually the Top Speed value is lower than the final gear speed? That's because TDU, by standard, adds around 10% more top speed. So, if a car final gear speed is 330 km/h, if you set as 300 km/h, in-game the car will reach 330 km/h. Now, if you set 330 km/h, the car will actually be faster than it should, and will reach 363 km/h. Deducting 10% of the speed makes not only the final gear accurate, but every gear will top at the correct speed, if your gear ratios are correct, which means the speed you need to shift will also be accurate. Q. Why the car classes are broken and i have overpowered vehicles for it's class? Because that was the easiest way i found to get these high-power tunes and keep the game "easily moddable". TDU will only understand a car class change if it reads a new entry on the database. That being said, i would need 4 entries in the car database, for 1 single vehicle, 1 entry being it stock, and 1 new entry for each tune kit. That means instead of 880 vehicles, i would need at least 3520. Not to mention that if someone decides to modify that 1 vehicle, they will need to modify the tuning its aswell. That not only means it would take a long time, but that it would make the game much more complex to be modded, so i used the original upgrade system, that's based on % increase of the base vehicle, but sadly, it doesn't support class changes. Q. The traffic in my game is being glitchy and invisible, what do i do? In the Project Paradise Laucher, make sure to enable V-Sync, to lock your fps to 60. The game won't do well with higher fps. Q. The game is displaying too much brightness, what i did wrong? Usually the dealerships display a higher brightness than the road environment. But also, that could be caused by FX Tweak being enabled in Project Paradise Launcher. TDU Platinum weather system was developed to not require FX Tweak, if you enable it in the launcher, it may override the weather files. Q. The physics have been changed, but they seem the same? That's because the physics engine is the same, but TDU allows each car to have their individual physics worked on, and that's what's been changed. To match real data, because TDU has messed it up even on the original game. Q. TDUPE is not working? Yes it is, but unfortunately i've stumbled across an issue i thought i would have. This issue happens when the database has over a thousand entries, which is the case, since TDU Platinum's database has 1105 entries. So, to use TDUPE, you must follow these steps: To run TDUPE, you must open it as admin. Point your TDU database directory in the settings and click load. Once it has loaded the database, search for the Custom Car you replaced in the car list. Modify and Click save. (That is when the problem starts.) Because TDUPE can't deal with more than 1000 entries in the database, it will make the game crash, to fix that issue, you must open TDU Modding Tools File Browser. Extract the CarPhysicsData.db, located inside the DB.bnk. Decrypt CarPhysicsData.db using TDU UT (this tool i did not provided, but it can be found on the forums) Open it using notepad and set the number of "Items" as 1105, save and close. Encrypt the file again, using TDU UT. Replace the new CarPhysicsData.db inside the DB.bnk. Q. Do i need the game or this is a standalone game? No! You need the game first, this is a mod and won't work on it's own.

Yes, just duplicate the game folder before installing platinum and make another desktop shortcut if desired.

For anyone that have 2 very common bugs (shifting gears and ghosting cars on track).. man... i FINALLY found how to FIX the shifting gear problem and Ghost cars !! .. you JUST need to CAP framrate at 89 or 90. Don't go over 90 and you will be fine.. omg.. for so many years i search to fix this... and i just wanted to tell everybody. Why is this fixing? because the game runes on a frame basis rather than time basis. This means the AI calculations are based on how fast your CPU is rather than basing it on a fixed time interval.

Thank you so much for this! Quick question though, is there a way to increase the money?

Saddly, there's only two cars who have been converted for TDU: the Solstice and the Diablo GT. You gonna have trouble to find these cars because there links to download it are dead, but if you want I can send it to you by PM ;) Also After some research in Bnks, TDUPE and TDUMT, there some other cars that Atari never include in the PC version but you can still get them, these too has been converted: - AC 427 (Shelby Cobra 427S/C) - Chevy Cobalt SS - Chevy Corvette C2 Stingray '63 - Citroën 2CV - Infiniti G35 - Maserati Quattroporte - Mazda MX-5 Roadster - Mazda RX-8 - Pontiac GTO "The Judge", - Wiesmann MF5 GT Once again, some mods are impossible to find. You can ask me if you want one of these :D

So, I attempted and installed TDU on my PC. I used an appropriate crack to remove the DRM, and am faced with this issue. The screen immediately turns to black without the intro playing at all, and stays that way indefinitely. I have to somehow dig my way through task manager without looking at it to end this task since I can't alt-tab out of this. Of all the bugs that TDU has with Windows 10, I don't see anything about this! Anyone know what's going on? EDIT: I FIXED IT. IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH REALTEK. THIS WILL BE HELPFUL TO EVERYONE WHO IS USING A PC WITH REALTEK AUDIO DRIVERS. TELL EVERYONE THIS FIX IF THEY FACE THIS STRANGE ISSUE. So, if you use a motherboard that uses Realtek as its on-board audio, first of all, avoid getting one with Realtek ever again as many games including Hotline Miami and Katana Zero hate Realtek, and second of all, the problem lies in your audio output. When you change your volume, you will face the option of picking out several audio outputs. CHOOSE THE "Realtek HD Audio 2 Output" OPTION. That is usually the computer's default audio output. TDU only recognizes this and will refuse to budge if it doesn't detect it. If that doesn't work, try the other output options. I'm sure you're bound to find the correct option. Hope this fix helps you out. p.s. just ignore the music if you'd like

The description is crazy, but he is 100% right - I was constantly being thrown out of fullscreen on launch which also breaks the rendering and makes the game unusable until I: Opened Windows 11 System ==> Sound settings Selected unused audio playback devices (Realtek Digital output) and chose "Don't Allow" to use this device for audio. Now I can actually run TDU1 in fullscreen and got the game working without Windowed mode which so far did not work so well This should be added to FAQ on how to get TDU1 running on modern PCs.

so i just installed the tdu platinum mod and it simply won't save my profile. i tried to both check and uncheck the box for gamespy, to complete the tutorial etc. yet i dont even have a savegame folder. what else should i try?

encountering the same issue rn man (you can check the post on my profile). have you figured it out?

okay. ik it will take a lot of time with my slow wi-fi, but i'll try. thank you also, what can i do to make sure nothing interferes my installation or corrupts my files (disable the windows security?) upd: it didnt help

Hello, First I want to say I realt appreciate the TDU Platinum and have already well over 35 hours with a lots of problems and now its unplayble and wonder if somebody know the problems? They are way to many problems to count, but some crucial problems I realy want to be solved: The game is getting totalt fucked up driving the R34 mines (see picture below) and the delivery mission is not possible to get finished, once I finish the game crashes, same thing with AE86 mission and 5-6 races including tour the island is not even possible to start and the game will just crash. But without the platinum it start without any problems. Also the traffic cars and the trucks are very buggy. I have tried a multiple of vanilla versions of TDU but the problems are similar, with some differences.. for example some race/delivery was possible to drive.. the R34 mines delivery mission the game will always be fucked up at the exact same location, 17km on one version and 23km on some other. Even driving the car its self will the game sooner or later be fucked up.. but driving many other cars is no problem . It is any possible solution?

Already done

im running windows 10 so mine just says documents and its already in english. i already tried to run the game as an administrator while running it with compatibility mode for win xp fails (i get black screen for like 5secs and then it crashes to the desktop)

I have Tried to re install the game 3-4 times, also tested a different vanilla version of the TDU as well, the problems are the same but different.. its some cars and mission that not works on the platinum.. I also played a lots of TDU2 unofficial path without any issues. I guess its maybe some problems with the platinum its self ? I Had EXACTLY the same problem/sulution in this reddit thred when I installed the game, I was close to give up the platinum entirely. I installed tha same waw Nick-synth did https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.reddit.com/r/tdu/comments/tkfef1/endless_loading_screen_with_platinum_mod/&ved=2ahUKEwiNi4Sq8b6FAxVmERAIHaxLBaMQFnoECA4QAQ&usg=AOvVaw26dL_E266YmM_BBFbxqEuI

Look at first posting at the end, but only 412 are listed by name, further 470 vehicles are hidden to motivate people to explore the game.

I have tried, it so much more problems than graphics with some cerian cars. Why it is no problem to driving other cars and the original game without any issues? I coud play my first 10 hours with other cars without any issues.

just his car, and it looks like a symbolic socket disconnected like this -//- just his car, and it looks like a symbolic socket disconnected like this -//-

Hey bro, help me, I downloaded Project Paradise to play online, but my friend has a white name and it keeps blocking his car

A few of us from the official TDU Europe forums contributed our fav's from the 'TDU Desktop Wallpaper' thread to make this Windows 7 Themepack file. You can download the pack from here, double-click on it to install it. The Desktop Wallpaper thread is here if you want to take a look at the pics. Thanks to Bimmer, Pogostickio, Dustwave, Andreaz, Andrius, Kelvyj and others who contributed pics.

This is work if i had TDU platinum?

usually thats normal car behaviour. Last gear is the efficiency gear, so the car drives at max speed with lower rpm. thats the case with most (sports)cars in the recent years with 7+ gears.

Depends on the car. Some vehicles have "overdrive" gears, which are meant to be used to save fuel in cruise speeds. A few to name are Dodge Viper and Corvette Z06. Dodge Ram SRT-10...

I have used another connection and used vpn and nothing has changed

Hi, you have a min rpm and max rpm as an engine characteristics. When the rpm goes bigger than max rpm you must up-shift the gear. The 6th gear accelerates faster than 7th, not to drive faster, the speed is smaller.

Hello! Is it correct when i switch to the 7th gear and the car doesn't pick up speed, like on the 6th gear you can drive faster than on the 7th. Is this how it should be?

I understand the desire to revisit the nostalgic TDU Platinum weather mod with the purple sunsets! However, sharing direct download links for mods can be risky, as some sites hosting mods might contain malware or unwanted content.

First, this is a software to modify the db_data.cpr file, you have it in unpacked game only, no matter online or offline. In this file you can add a speed and check any car to be offroad and then to save it again in this file. No matter your savegame, it saves the changes here in this file and if you want to have the speed in another pc you must copy and paste this db_data.cpr on another pc, again in the unpacked game of course

It toggles if the camera should pan left/right gradually or immediately.

Introduction After editing by hand some sectors for the next update of Project Paradise, I thought it could be nice to create a proper map editor for TDU. After all, that's the only part of the game which has never been modded before. :) (and yes, next pp update should come soon, so less pm spam everyone thanks :twisted:) Description Even if it's called "Editor", this tool is a toolbox to export your files in your favorite 3D editor (maya, 3DS max, blender,... any editor as long as it's compatible with .obj) and obviously do the opposite. :p This choice as been made simply because I didn't want to make the usage of a cheap and badly written 3D editor an obligation. :D .obj has a pretty basic structure making easy to build an object from nothing.

A brazen question is due, I guess (and my apologies, in case): would that be added to TDU World one of these days? @Ramon: mate, I have relaized how hard had been your work when I started installing this mod. "Top notch" indeeed, and hats off to you! With best compliments and regards.

buy alfa GT, quit game, open TDUPE, open alfa GT, set price to 2 billion, save, go to tdu, sell the alfa, done. optional: change back the price in TDUPE to vanilla

Don't know if you're still looking for a way to increase the money but by default with this savegame when you start it from the download, you should have every house on the island. I'd recommend selling off a few houses to get some more money, as you only start with 1 car to begin with in your garage and realistically you don't need all the houses. Personally I only keep 4 houses. (One in each corner of the map.) The only other way to increase money is to fiddle around with a hex editor, but like Zoqqer says above this can lead to mistakes with dire consequences, if you don't know what you're doing.

With HEX editor perhaps. But it's easy to mess up. For online the simplest solution would be to start over the game. The usernames are unique so it's not possible to make this savegame online out of the box

Can this savegame can be converted into an online one ?

Online does not work. Hardcore mode not selectable from main menu. Used hex editor and attempted online conversion. Still failed. PPU 1.12

After deleting the radial.cdb file we would often create a folder with the same name (including .cdb). This would prevent the game from creating that file again. The file was never necessary but often caused game issues after some time.

The ProfileData file needs to overwritten with this profile but make sure you backup all profiles and files in the savegame location. Should work then.

thanks! my bitdefender had a safe files option enabled that made is a read only file! ! it works now!

In that case, I will check the following things. - Is the "Read only" setting in the "Eden Games" folder in the document folder off? - Is there enough space on the HDD?

Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X GSR Vehicle replaced: Aston V12 Vantage Converted by: StarGT & Dybel (caravto(.)com ) Screens and testing: StarGT,Dybel,osip4uker Credits: 3D Model, Wheels & Interior - Forza Features: -normal working car -completely synchronized HUD - interior/exterior !!!! -- DEAD LINK REMOVED --

;) Try this. A great mod for everyone ==> http://forum.turboduck.net/threads/19354-iLLusion-Island-Paradise-v095-Autumn-and-Winter-Add-On But I like to install 'The Lite' version. And you should copy folder <Testdriveunlimited\*> for backup before install any mods. :p

DLC 6 for Xbox was made after PC (finally) received the MegaPack DLC, which was the only official DLC. We got a lot all that DLC a lot cheaper than Xbox players (don't forget they also had to pay for Hardcore mode) and as you said most of those cars have since been modded, plus we have loads of other mods that Xbox players missed out on, so don't feel too hard done by.

yes, thx, evo is very cool

One day I will remember that people still play this on the Xbox :)
