Has anybody else experienced, or even heard of, this missing money issue I am having? I'm wondering if it's some kind of DRM or something... ?

I downloaded the patch (1.66a) and attempted to run it, but I get a message saying my game is already up to date. To make matters worse, I went ahead and bought the extra content pack from Atari, thinking maybe this is what my original error was referring to, and after installing it I now get a SecurRom error. Something about it being an old version... I completely uninstalled everything and started from scratch with a fresh install, and I still get the same message about there being a newer version of TDU. Frustrating... I must have spent 3 hours installing, uninstalling, downloading etc, and I'm still not able to play online. I wouldn't mind so much if I could at least play offline, but with the missing money 'bug', I don't have enough money to even buy my first house, so I can't progress past the opening 5 minutes of the game. I feel like I wasted 40 bucks now that could have been put towards TDU2...

Appreciate your reply, but I'm actually already running version 1.66A, the game came fully patched... That's why I'm so puzzled as to what this 'new version' could be. :confused: All I know is it won't let me go online without it, and when I accept and try to download it, my game closes and my internet browser opens up to a blank page...

Hey guys, wondering if any of you could give me a hand. I'm starting to get very frustrated because I can't play this game... I bought the game as a digital download from Amazon. First problem I'm having is disappearing money. I started an offline account and start out with 200,000 bucks. I rent a car for 1100, but when I get to my very first destination (the real estate agency), somehow I only have 111,000. Not enough to buy a house, so I cannot even START the game. I'm forced to quit. I've tried this 3 or 4 times now and it happens every time. Second problem I'm having is trying to get online. I started a gamespy account, and created a new username and all that, but when I try to get online, I get an error message saying "A new version of Test Drive Unlimited is available for download. You must carry out this update to be able to play online". Okay, I click the link to download this 'new version', and it redirects me to a BLANK PAGE. Suuuuper frustrating! :cry: If you guys have any suggestions as to what I can do to play this game I would love it, because all I can do right now is drive around in my rental Audi, aimless. Thanks!
