I have had TDU working fine on my laptop for 2 years running on Vista, but I have recently changed to Windows 7.
I installed TDU from the DVD (patch 1.66a) and have the following problems:
On start up the screen goes blank and I get the message “Test Drive Unlimited Has Stopped Working”. I have to Alt+Ctl+Del to cancel it. After several goes it starts up and runs fine for a few minutes @ 29 fps. Then the frame rate drops and changes between 4 to 14 fps, making it unplayable.
No processes or Anti-virus running in background, all latest drivers, tried different video settings and tried radial removal.
Laptop will run Dirt 2 and Split Second fine on full resolution and high settings.
Laptop Spec:
Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit
Acer Aspire 6920G
Intel Core2Duo @ 2.00GHz
3GB RAM
ATI Radeon HD 3650 512MB (Hyper 1791 MB)
Driver Version: 8.741.0.0
ATI Catalyst Version: 10.6
DirectX 11
Realtek High Definition Audio
Any help would be great. Thanks.
