  1. @SticcFig It's a late reply but I do not visit the forums very often. Sorry for that.

    First of all I don't believe your issue was caused by the patch. Based on your description it is more likely that you played TDU2 on modern PC, had frequent game crashes while browsing the island map and to fix that you started using a DX9 wrapper (dgVoodoo or DXVK). It is a known glitch.

     

  2. It seems that you have selected the correct directory and all required files are there.

    Maybe the installer is not detecting your directory as a valid because of your locale settings, I have never tested it on non european systems 😳.

    What I can recommend is to open the installer with a 7-Zip File Manager and copy the files to the game directory by yourself.

    Hope it will help.

  3. No, it's not normal. Every standard car is obtainable.

    All the issues people having with the 'missing' cars is the effect of rearranged models in the car salons. It was made to free up the space for upcomming mods.

    Where are the cars then? On each island there are two car salons of the same brands. Two Audi, two Ferrari salons etc. Some cars, such as R8, are only present in one of the Audi salons.

    There should be an image, posted somewhere in this thread, showing all of the dealerships and its content.

  4. You don't have to install TDU World.

    The whole UP mod is packed into 2 files - TDU2UPv041.big and TDU2UPv041.map. Those two files have to be present in the game directory. If these are not there - that's the case, the installer failed to install the patch there but I don't know why.

  5. Okay. I know what was wrong. Thank you for the folder view - it helped a lot.

    Please download the file attached to this post and copy to TDU2 main folder (overwrite if asked to). That should fix the crash.

    Now the explanation. While preparing the second version of the 0.4.1 installer (with support for unpacked game) as a final step I wanted to optimize the install archive for maximum compression. While doing it I forgot to include GamePC.cpr file in the archive. 7z format allows for adding new files to an existing archive but apparently NSIS 7z plugin can't extract added files from the archive. Extracted GamePC.cpr was empty. Testers had access to the beta version of the installer that was not affected by the bug.

    Most of the players were installing TDUW on top of UP. TDUW overwrites UP broken GamePC.cpr with a new one - game works.

    Sorry for the inconvenience. It was my mistake. Soon I'm gonna update the installer. As a temporary fix use the attached file mentioned above.

    EDIT:
    Fixed installer has just been uploaded to the download page.

    GamePC.cpr

  6. I have the Polish/English version as well. Mod was tested by several people - different configs. Both PL and EU versions worked.

    Please try to re-install the game. I read on discord it was helpfull for a guy with the same issue. UP is basically 3 files - TDU2UPv041.big, TDU2UPv041.map and GamePC.cpr. ATM I still don't know why in most of the cases it works flawlessly but few people had to reinstall the game to be able to play with UP. Very strange.

    May I ask you to share a list or screenshot of all files in your TDU2 main directory? Maybe you are missing something.

  7. UP is based on TDU2 v034 DLC2. I highly recommend to download and install the updates. However, during my tests, I was able to pass the boot screen and launch the non updated game. It crashed when I tried to access DLC2 content (bike dealership) which is normal.

    Game was sold in several language versions, the russian one differs the most - maybe it has to be updated. Let us know how you solved it.

  8. Thank you for the feedback.

    As much as I would like to make all Ferrari geeks happy I couldn't make them tunable. To be able to play on official servers without being 'a cheater' in the eyes of other players this mod was created with the vanilla game balance in mind. Ability to tune Ferraris would be unfair to other non-UP online players. For example one of the best A2 cars, Ferrari 458 Italia, when tuned is outperforming all A2 and some A1 cars.

    The temptation to 'fix' all the performance inacurattness in the game has always been strong but for the mentioned reason UP never crossed that line.

    Since TDUW provides their own online service their future modpack could take much more liberal approach to the tuning and performance balance of all the cars in the game.

  9. I knew the new version might have been inconvinient for people with custom mods. That's way I've just updated the installer for version 0.4.1. It features Advanced Install mode just for unpacked game. You need re-download the Unofficial Patch installer from the files page and select "Advanced" during installation process. Please note that when you install additional mods you are on your own if something goes wrong.

    Make sure that TDU2UPv041.big and TDU2UPv041.map files are not present in unpacked game directory otherwise game won't start. Those are only for packed game.

  10. I think it's the problem of unpacked game generally, not the patch.

    I never experienced game running slower. I have a theory that the stuttering is caused by the mix of 2 things - slow read speed of HDD and fragmented data.

     

    If stuttering occurs i would recommend to delete unpacked TDU2, defragment HDD, and unpack/install patch again.

  11. Man. Please. With all the respect to your work and time.

    If the drag is 0.18 theoretical speed is more than 510km/h. On every bump it would fly because of lack of downforce and grip. Show me the proof that I am wrong. Not just your imaginations.

     

    If someone likes unrealistic speeds for freeride - ok. I am just worried that many noobs would use this db for cheating.

    In your db Veyron vs FXX is competitive but what about majority of players without your mod? Do you thought about it? It is not competitive when someone drives original FXX and modded FXX...

  12. When modifications is for top speed the record is 469km/h
    :rofl: Come back to earth.

    To be able to achieve this speed FXX's coefficient drag would have to be like 0.23 which is impossible with this body. Enzo's drag which should be similar to FXX without spoilers has 0.32. Little over 400 is a max.

     

    BTW, I've looked into this db mod. Beside FXX few other cars are also modified. For example final gear ratio of 430 Scuderia is shortened. Dunno why :think:.

  13. Most of the A1 cars hit the top speed limiter too fast and you made it even worse. Where is the improvement? All I see is that your mod is a great toy for unfair racers...

     

    I agree FXX was too slow but what you did now is ridiculous. You know anything about downforce? This car can't reach more than 400kphs.

     

    And what's wrong with F12 or Aventador? You can't make them more realistic in this game because I spent days to perfectly match them with the acceleration charts available on the net. For example: http://www.accelerationtimes.com/models/lamborghini_aventador_lp700-4

    What you did is not an improvement. Sorry.
