hey

i have problem with tdu platinium. it looks more or less like i have invisible cars in showrooms that i can't buy. I found information that the reason is that the game is above 90 fps. That's why I tried to set these 90 or even 60 fps with various programs but it did not work.

Vsync is on all the time and also does nothing. The best part is that I played this mod a year ago and I didn't have a single problem with fps. Is there any way to fix this?

In the main menu, the game says v0.03a or does it says 1.66a or 1.68b?

Does anyone have problems with the re amemiya kits for the FD and FD Spirit R? Mine aren't showing for some reason.

I just used the names to differentiate the tuning stages. There is no Amemiya kit for FD in TDU yet.

Hey, love the mod! Just wondering is it true that the mod is done with updates or are you still working on new vehicles and stuff?

Just look literally 2 posts above. Yes, i still work on it.

Nice!

Are you gonna fix the odometers/tachymeters completly wrong for a bunch of cars in your update?

Like TDU's speed displays 150 KM/H and onboard odometer displays 120 or 165..., same thing for RPM, but this also depends on the view, some view display correct RPM/speed, some others not. Most of the cars have wrong display in cockpit view and for experience/pleasure, I would like to look at cockpit speed rather than TDU's digital speed in the right. Feel more fun/juicy to look the onboard needle rising rather than the digit on right.

Or max RPM (rev limiter) of some tachymeters wrong (488 Pista to 9000 while it is 8000 [& in board last red led not showing], 458 Italia Spider to 8000 while it is 9000, etc.).

Not all the cars might need a rework, at least, the ones where we badly see the speed/rpm in cockpit view can be skipped (or not "fixed in emergency"), but the others, it will be nice.

No. I do plan on releasing it before 2048. As i said many times, some issues foes not worth the time they demand to be fixed.

There's a claim of over 880 vehicles added, and I get that the list provided in the post stipulates 470 cars are hidden from the list, but from what I understand the hidden vehicles is referring to the special tuning options available. So technically, it's kind of a bs thing to say 880 cars when that's not actually the case. It builds up a false anticipation and personally a big middle finger to the players imo. 

Have you realized that the only posts you made were actually to complain about something?

What is your goal with them? What do you want to achieve? I am genuinely curious to know it.

Hello guys, I'm new here.

Some years ago I tried Gold Edition, and I liked the whole ecosystem of the game. I wish to get back into it, but I don't have a wheel nor I don't like to hangout with keyboard.

So, I wondered why PC version doesn't have XInput (I own a wired 360 controller)? I mean, there's a 360 version of TDU. Is that pretty hard to even create a tweak to port that whole support to the PC version, so I couldn't see anyone for years?

I think I'll have to choose TDU2 instead. Out of it, you made a pretty nice work with Platinum.

TDU1 work with controller just fine. I use a PS3 controller that my laptop thinks it's an Xbox one.

Hello, it's my first post here so I want to thank you Milli for giving this game new life. Also want to say "thank you" to all the supporting community of modders, you do great job as well.

When I try to play TDU platinum online mode, all the sound in my PC apps drops hard on quality, stereo is missing also. Same with the sound from the game. This is not happening when I play offline mode and also it goes back to normal,  when I exit TDU online.

Any suggestions, how to solve this?

This is a first for me. Take a print screen of your project paradise launcher. 

But i tell you, that makes no sense, as being online or not doesn't change anything in sound files or configuration. Try checking the audio config in the online profile, inside the game aswell.

I have that always enabled and that does not remove the issue... other ideas please to fix some Zonda cars invisible as described in my previous post?

Make sure your project paradise is working.  It must read v0.03 in the start screen.

Thank you both! About the remastered graphics... I used to play it the last three months,uninstalling and installing. I think the remastered graphics feel dry and kind of the game feels depressing/dead(no offence). Or maybe it was just me. I will try both. I play on max settings on a 2012 gaming pc. Always disabled that FX in project paradise before.Thank you all again!

 

UPDATE: I will try tdu platinum without the old graphics again. I will add hawaiian bliss too. Are there any other graphic mods that make the game more happier/colorful/with contrast/better? I heard of tdu 1 reshade for project paradise. I wonder if there are graphics that look like tdu 2 Maybe some with night,too!(if there is)

I told you to not add extra weather mods. 

Platinum has it's own weather system built in, which is brighter and with more saturation that vanilla TDU.  You don't need any extra weather mod for it. 

Also, make sure you DISABLE the "fx tweak" in Project Paradise launcher.

Hello, when numerous (not all) Pagani Zonda cars are invisible in garage (example Zonda R) and game crash when i activate such a car (and crash on each start until restoring savegame & switching to other car & restoring back), also when someone drive such Zonda car i do not see him in the game, only player counter is +1. How do you suggest to fix it without full reinstall? What are .bnk files names to check? I do not remember i would replace Zonda .bnk file/s beside what was replaced by applying the Platinum pack, patch 2.

Enable big.bnk in the project paradise launcher.

What do you mean? Also,I still did not install the game nor platinum,it is downloaded,but I am waiting for an answer.What files should i back up to get the original graphics,I don't want those platinum remastered graphics.How do I do that?What should i backup and then paste after installing platinum? If it isn't possible,no worries,I can still play the game.

Question is why you don't want it? Platinum original graphics is almost as original, if you properlly install it. It is as light as original aswell. 

It won't have night, or bright pink skies you often see in videos or photos. Those are more likely post mods people often add and mess up the graphics. 

If i were you, i'd give it a try, don't think you'll regret.

My way of counting is a bit of Gran Turismo styled. If a car has a roof on or a roof off, i count them as 2 different cars. Specially because they are different cars in the game database, each with their own setup of colors, rims, tuning packs.

What's with pretty much all the (stock) Corvettes maxing out at around 400km/h.. The stock Grand Sport had a top speed of like 418km/h or something ridiculous like that.. Most other cars I've found so far seem pretty realistic, but the Corvettes are just nuts.

Have you ever drove them? Just because it says 418, doesn't mean it can reach such speed. 

But, that has been explained many many times, including in the FAQ section. To simulate the gearbox of each car realistically, the "Top Speed" value must be set as the theorical speed the final gear can handle, ignoring power, drag, etc. 

Cars that have an "overdrive" gear, will display way higher values in top speed, because their last gear is extremelly long, made to save fuel.  When you race a Corvette, you don't shift to 6th, it is only there to save fuel.

Sorry if this is a bit "out of context", but I started to play HardCore mode from some weeks (with keyboard & TC off), and I have notified the stats (in house "INFOS" tab -> play time, total distance, etc.), no longer increase.

Is this the case for other people (I guess yes), and, is there a way/patch to fix this? This is not "dramatic", but a bit annoying, especially for total KMs browsed, I am currently stuck at 37***.** while I am probably at around 50000 now.

To Milli: Do you have an approximate "status" (in %) or release date of the future Platinum update? I have read your previous answers about this, but I am curious to see what about now.

The status is sadly paused, regardless. I still without my laptop to continue to work on it. 

Since late January, which is when my laptop died, and i still haven't got it fixed, neither money to actually buy a new good one.

Hi guys,

I have this issue. All my races, dealers etc are blank on map, as you can see on picture. What could be the problem? 

I installed base game, installed TDU platinum, copied HD extra patch, applied 1.12 patch, used 4gb executables and run the game with vsync, big bnk, and HD options checked. Few months ago I have done the same and game worked perfectly, what could I messed up this time?

Do not map the map controls to your analog stick. It can't stand still. 

Also, unmark the HD. That was a feature meant for vanilla TDU, in Platinum it just makes it worse.

I never saw news of it till the other day! Man I'm behind these days! 

I'm not 100% to think of it, Hong Kong doesn't exactly set me alight as a location. My first thought's is of course of a massive city. Of course, outside the city there is a lot of nice countryside! Size wise, not as 'small' as I thought, area is 1,106Km2, it's just under 2 Ibiza's! 

I don't know what it is, but it just doesn't set me alight. When I think Hawaii I think tropical paradise, when I think Ibiza I think summer holiday & partying, when I think Hong Kong I think...a urban environment and Government unrest. 

 

Still going to keep an eye out for it, but can't see myself rushing to buy it. 

 

There's a rumor of it being just Hong Kong Island, not the entire Hong Kong. Same as there's rumors that there's more than just the Island. 

Fact is, nobody knows for sure.

I'll pretend I'm old and sophisticated lol and be in the more exclusive group (since Streets is far more popular so far), unless of course there is an in-game benefit to one group over the other, then I may switch. 

I hope the game does not benefit any group at all, and this is just like a team to choose in order to control "territories". 

Honestly. 

I don't think a metallic red F355 and a bright yellow Diablo SV would actually fit Sharps. Lol.  So, Street it is.

You have not mentioned where you are stuck, so no targeted reply. Install game, download platinum and copy its files over, install project paradise

some details

ISSUE: Hi, car is not visible/is invisible or game crashing repeatedly after switching to such a car - i do not know the reason (anyone?), but to get back to the previous working state of the game, you can restore file C:\Users\YOU\Documents\Test Drive Unlimited\savegame\YOURNICKNAME\playersave\savegame (or playersave?) if you do not have backup, then i do not know the solution, maybe playing with the files in C:\Program Files (x86)\Atari\Test Drive Unlimited\Euro\Bnk\Vehicules or creating new profile after backing up existing. Can anyone tell possible reasons and other things to try? In my case most of the Zonda cars in the showroom are invisible, except Huayra and 12 S.

Platinum already has Project Paradise installed.

If there is, you won't find it here. 

Nice job Euds!

i have found this:

as said, maybe more simple than edit is to "swap the .btrq file in ... BNK with another .btrq from Saleen S7 for example".

i think in Controls/Options/Gearbox set to Manual and disable Auto-clutch, on Driving tab set Clutch (Car) to some key/button. On Xbox pad i have tried left stick down, it is doable, does not seem faster than auto-clutch when considering also occasional engine stall/stop due to low RPM i think.. Which button/stick/trigger you are using for clutch/steering/gearing if having Xbox pad?

In a Playstation 3 joypad, i use R2 to accelerate, L2 to brake. R1 is shift up, L1 is shift down, and X is clutch. 

Because it ain't that easy. Lol. 

You need to edit the btrq file inside the car mod file, and the sound, well, you need to either find a sound mod that support such high rev, or make a new one yourself. 

Also, if you play in manual with manual clutch, shifting is really fast. And use TDUF, not TDU PE.

BrianGamer022 Its probably happening because of the car mods themselves... When i teleport out of the area of the dealership, skins seem to appear when going back (but some wont). When i just replace those with different skin, it doesnt help at all. Never really found out info why some exact cars are completely invisible, sometimes wheels only...my example is 1971 Plymouth GTX, invisible 80-90% of the time. But i can live with another 850+ healthy cars tho. Peace! 

That makes no sense at all. 

And his problem is Project Paradise not working at all. He probably deleted d3d9.dll and it broke his project paradise.
