unfortunately that did not change anything, same issue. After copying platinum mod files the game won't launch from the project paradise launcher. just a quick black screen then crash, windowed or otherwise.

Patch 2.0 does not look familiar to me. Try not to use it. Search "black" on this page.

downloaded v1.0 torrent file and i have no idea how to extract it

.torrent file needs to be opened in a software called BitTorrent client, for example https://www.fosshub.com/qBittorrent.html

You can check this page for some installation steps that may help.

TDUMT

Until someone reply You, i wanted to mention that you can also try TDUF, which may be newer software than TDUMT, i may be wrong though.

tutorial in TDUF for car tuning pack

Another one is here in TDUF thread , it explain various parameters of car performance. But before that, you may need to know how to work in TDUF.

Is there any solution to see other players?

Yes. It would be nice if more players are aware and open appropriate port on their end.

"1. you need to wait maybe even couple of minutes. 2) You may also not connect some players if you have not forwarded port 8889 on your router, or not enabled DMZ on router for your LAN PC. You need to search in your router device settings or your router name and port forwarding on search engines. 3) menu Options / Online has a tickbox for Online interactions - make sure it is allowed. To meet with other people is best in less crowded places on the map. Orange GPS icon means unable to connect someone(or anyone?), static blue means no one near to connect."
If you still fail to connect and are enough dedicated to open port, you may use a VPN that allows that. I think that you can imagine right search phrase to find some.

How can I make sure the mod will work fine with my version and how can I properly put the mod in my game files?

Platinum mod has no installer, as per its ReadMe file ("TDU Platinum Install.txt") , you need to:
 

Quote

 

2. Copy the files inside the folder "TDU Platinum v1.0/Test Drive Unlimited" and paste them inside the folder "C:/Program Files (x86)/Atari/Test Drive Unlimited" (or other folder where is your portable TDU)

3. Yes, it will ask you to replace the same files, click yes and let them process finish. (consider if you want to backup original folder before doing replacement)

4. Start the game by clicking on the TDU - Project Paradise Launcher.exe, make sure you have the Big bnk activated (Marked check)

Amazing job! does this work on consoles? xbox 360 for example

I think that someone said in-game that he is using xbox 360. I am using box one and works OK (except sticks has dead zones - that possibly can not be fixed due to game being closed source code, but you can learn to drive decently anyway)

Installation may be tricky:

https://internetlifeforum.com/showthread.php?15161-How-i-setup-install-MS-Xbox-One-Wireless-controller-1697-adapter-on-Windows-7

Beside what yitianetie mentioned, another issue is that there is no traffic/bots in this setup:

(same happen when all is unticked)

Game is ran on Linux via Wine. (same as  yitianetie ?)

The process command line is: TestDriveUnlimited.exe -fps -bigbnks -races
I have verified that the Traffic folder + files is there in Euro/Bnk/Vehicules. @Djey

You have not addressed everything what I have mentioned, but your description may suggest internet issue which possible solutions (i am aware about) i have described in previous post. Regarding read-me.  file, i have the file named "ReadMe.txt" which contains this. I meant that it is important to follow especially this part: "check the GameSpy ID case and NOT TO CHANGE YOUR EMAIL OR PASSWORD OR YOUR SAVEGAME WILL BE RESET!". If you wish, PM me if you have questions to what i have suggested.

all it does is freeze up the game

i think that You should describe this situation in greater detail, like on which screen what do you see exactly and if offline profile works OK. If offline profile plays ok and online says "connecting" kind of message. It may be the issue with the internet, firewall (removing TDU from it, or adding it manually, temp. disabling antivirus, firewall - i know it is bad idea under some conditions) or you may try to use different internet - a VPN. For example protonmail.com has free one. Make sure that you have followed paradise launcher read-me file exactly to create valid online profile. Please mention how the issue was fixed if you will find the fix.

invisible cars

I hope someone else help you better as i am probably wrong here. One of the reasons may be missing or damaged car files in Program FIles / ... / Euro / Bnk / Vehicules. I would try using original files, not applying any car pack or similar. Then try again. Then try Platinum patch files, Try again. Also i suggest to search the phrase i have quoted above (!nv!s!ble cars) in this thread (you are definitely not alone to have this issue). If you manage to make it working, please tell others how you did it.

It always loads up my offline profiles

What it loads depends on what you have in C:\Users\YOURUSERAMEHERE\Documents\Test Drive Unlimited\savegame\YOYURNICKNAME
In the savegame folder have to be also file ProfileList.dat . I think that this .dat file makes the profile list menu in game. So maybe you have to have backup of this file from old time when you had online profile working. Or maybe try to put online profile folder in said directory and rename the ProfileList.dat file (not likely to work). If you don't have working profile, you will create new in game (per the instructions in Project paradise pack i think). And then you can use money hack to quickly improve your game experience being able to buy cars and homes.

Apologies if this has already been asked, but what version of the game do I need to be able to play this mod?

Any version out of official DVD i guess. But as Iceman above mentioned, Gold may have issues.

On 4/27/2022 at 11:31 AM, LIV890D said:

can i run it with a cracked game or need the og one?

I doubt they would have modified other file than main .exe and if i remember correctly, Platinum pack has its own exe included so it would be replaced anyway? I know someone mentioned that no-cd crack .exe worked. By saying this i do not endorse using pirated SW.

TDU logo very darkly

I have seen this too. I guess i am not alone, try search engine, here or google like d@rk screen TDU1, d@rk startup screen TDU1 etc.

In this tdu1 setup tutorial (which i suggest) is mentioned following issue (i am not sure if it is the same, looks similar):

Quote

- game black screen in project paradise, not without it - Go to testdriveunlimited.exe properties -> select compatibility tab -> change settings for all users -> change high dpi settings -> check both "Use this setting to fix scaling problems for this program instead of the one in Settings" and "Override high DPI scaling behavior" and set Scaling performed by "Application". This will solve the issue. (feedback welcome regarding this workaround)

You should try it when the game is in default mode (like stock game, then Platinum, no customization that you have tried and described above)
And if you make it working, share what helped and backup your profile or whole drive (i use RedoRescue software).

"loading screen" says exactly what or how it looks
"game launches but i can't load in" you mean the "loading screen"?
"broke something it seems" not happened to me, i killed/crashed the game many times and do not think it broken anything
"i dont have the update patches installed yet" - you should install all patches needed and not anything else out of stock game and platinum pack
i suggest checking for example this tutorial, and FAQ
in case you will realize what helped, share here what it was

black screen on the startup and then back to desktop

This claim is good resource for search keywords to use in the search engine. just prepend the search phrase by "TDU1".

Especially i would search "black screen" phrase in this thread. Search word "black" also on this page. And report what helped once you find out.

Seems pretty rare seeing orange (hot dog) cars recently for me having Platinum

I agree that if some car bug thread would exist, then there would have to be people actually willing to spend their time on fixing things instead just speaking about it. I would help myself possibly if there are some really good noob friendly tutorials step by step on how to modify things.

It may be handy to mention link to best tutorials on how to fix various things in car models - maybe somewhere in TDU FAQ (i am missing it here) or link to a post which summarize Platinum policies regarding car modifications and links to tutorials which guide through the process. Some may already exist, i am guessing there are people that know already what are these tutorials/links.

I have made and Nick made sound modding tutorials already but it needs also other people experiment and make another improved tutorials so people know how to achieve good results. Also question is if it is OK to do the modifications. I have seen people like possibly Milli being strict about copyright of the car models or sounds, i do not remember exactly what is the policy regarding existing car model/sound modifications to be included into Platinum @Milli maybe good this is mentioned in first post or in FAQ if not already as if written there, it can get lost.

Hello,

can the TDU2 sound be extracted (how?) and applied to TDU1? I already have experience with extracting TDU1 sound and basic modifications ( https://turboduck.net/forums/topic/37088-tutorial-how-to-make-a-sound-mod-for-tdu/ ) I remember i liked for example FXX and Nissan GT-R sound from TDU2. Thank you

Hi, after reinstalling OS and the game+Platinum pack, applying profile from old installation i have found that Koenigsegg One lvl3 tuning has 4500hp figure, also in garage. I was trying to reset TDUF load the DB, find car #900 and modify values, no change. Also i have tried to import some of my car patch for other cars, Save the DB, but only one of the cars got its performance tuned. Others does not reflect TDUF modification.

I have event tried to use Program FIles and Documents TDU folder from my old install, but 4500hp figure (and relevant car behavior = undriveable) is still there in Koenigsegg One lvl3.

Any idea what to try please?

what is tdu platinium costom car anyone knows how to fix it?

if you mean other player driving it, maybe it means Your TDU (Program FIles / Atari / TDU / Euro / Bnk / Vehicules) is not aware about such car appearance, in another words they are using some non standard car, from different car pack like Natan mod?

QUESTION: Anyone knows the database number of the Koenigsegg One (mine car level3 tuning pack is 4500hp for some weird reason). Restoring Program FIles TDU folder and Documents / TDU folder not helped. TDUF car number 900 seems like that but i was unable to find number 4500 inside. Engine capacity in garage is 11000cc.

Weird user have to use VPN, i read that protonvpn.com have free service and it is reliable provider (i am using their mail and fan of this company), but i think better is to setup own VPN server because one can open port 8889 and connect more players properly.

@Holync Except what I have suggested in previous comment, you can also try VPN service, disable firewall and turn off other software that may influence traffic. Isn't paradise launcher having a checkbox for offline mode, if yes, then this should be disabled.

...game is always crashing...

Project paradise allows online and servers are online, you should not block it in your firewall, rather check firewall, delete TDU/ProjectPP rules and let it be detected again upon game launch. You should launch paradise launcher .exe not original game exe. enable bigbnk, vsync

Your profile must not be created as offline. Else it should work. Always keep your profile backup! TDU can damage your profile (happened to me)

Profile is located in C:\Users\YOURUSERAMEHERE\Documents\Test Drive Unlimited\savegame\

You can delete profile, if you are sure you want to do it.

On the TDU1 map, when red squares (players) turn yellow what it means and what can i do about that? Thanks
