A brazen question is due, I guess (and my apologies, in case): would that be added to TDU World one of these days?
@Ramon: mate, I have relaized how hard had been your work when I started installing this mod. "Top notch" indeeed, and hats off to you!
With best compliments and regards.

Thanks for your attention and quick reply, Milli.
You have been concise and clear... what is the original 'items' number, by the way?
And where should I have looked for it out? Sorry for the noob questions here...
With best regards.
 

Update.
After a first attempt, TDU Platinum refused to launch. And TDUPE, on its own, kept on crashing as its usual by a .Net Framework exception.
Bah. Any suggestion, please?
With best regards.

Hello, Djey, and thanks a lot for all you too are still doing for TDU.
Now, may ask a question?
Is TDU UT still needed to fix TDUPE issues with Platinum database? I'm trying to follow this procedure (please see the attached file), but I can't find TDU UT anywhere in my TDU MT installed folder.
Please help me in understand at least what to do. Thanks for your attention and with best regards.
TDUPE is not working.txt

The rights holders would laugh at your reasoning. I don't know why I'm explaining this, but they don't have to do anything. They own the property and can decide what to do with it. This includes shutting down stupid ideas like enabling online play for pirated copies.
Moreover, the fact that a new game is in development only increases the chance of shutting down anything which infringes on their IP. Try to understand that you're looking at this situation from the view of someone who just wants to play a pirated copy online for free. You can't really expect anyone to take you seriously.

There is no stable patch or file yet that could stabilize the game. On some video cards, what I listed works, but on some it is not stable. Let's wait for something new
Many do not know how to fix it. Many refer to the drivers for the video card from nvidia

Unfortunately, there is no way for the game to be stable yet. There are crutches for the game, for example: (for crash map: DVXK d3d9.dll and dxgi.dll in x32, When you enter the map and the game freezes, try to Alt+Tab out and back in and then quickly zoom out; https://steamcommunity.com/app/9930/discussions/0/2250056952648498810/) and (if accidentally crashes:
);

I think, it's problem with TestDrive2.exe file. 
 
In future I want create the new version of the Launcher with support the Online Mode.

OMG! Is this news?!
Yeah, we know it's been a while since we've done a proper news announcement. We're often extremely busy!
Let's begin shall we?

What is going on with TDU World now?

TDU World and its staff have not gone anywhere, in fact in the last 6 months we've grown to almost 50 members including our Beta Testers!
We want to assure the community that there is almost always something being worked on in the background. If we're quiet it usually means we're working on something major.
Unfortunately, a project of this scale means that now and again, we have to re-evaluate our work to ensure we're on track to release good quality content per our promise.
With this, we’re announcing that there will likely not be any updates coming to the Public Servers, at least for another 3 months.
We have had to rewrite a lot of fundamental features in the last 6 months including but not limited to Lobbying to ensure they work as planned, with no issues that may restrict other features as we expand. This work is still ongoing, as discussed later in this announcement.

Remember: As long as you are patient, we promise the wait will be worth it!
Our promise to the community as always, is that when things are ready, we will release them. This is never going to change.

So, what's been worked on?

Between the Server Developers and the Mod Pack team, the following has been worked on:

Server News
The TDU World Server Development Team have been extremely hard at work over the past few months, implementing new features and expanding currently implemented features.
Here's a run-down of the current status:
Public Servers: Over the last few months, we've made many smaller changes behind the scenes to improve the Public TDU World Servers, most notably when we accidentally broke our Server Status page moving over to Linux.
We're well aware that TDU World hasn't received any major public updates since release in February. Despite our best efforts to try to release content, it has become an increasingly difficult task due to many factors, most notably how busy our teams can be at any moment with their own lives.
Remember, there’s only 4 of us working on the server at any given moment and we not only have to create the server, we have to pull apart the game’s inner workings first and this is no easy task.

The following is Live on the Public Servers:
 Freeroam: Including Co-Op Driving, and Police Chases
No other features are currently due for release yet, and until Lobbying 2.0 is ready there won’t be any further Server Updates.

Coming Soon:
Lobbying 2.0: One of the biggest and most important changes to TDU World's Servers is Lobbying 2.0:
Lobbying 2.0 will bring better, faster in game lobbies, no more false sessions, no more dead lobbies. Multiplayer Racing will make a return too, including head-to-head, all mini games, and Matchmaking. (Support for Clubs, CRC/ORC and Casino Races not included)
Lobbying 2.0 will also bring with it better user tracking on the Map, and improve the ability to join player’s sessions on the fly.

Friends: The ability to use the Friends List will be making a return soon.
The team have almost completed work on this with just a few bugs to iron out.

DLC: We're pleased to announce that work on the DLC portion of the TDU World Servers has almost been completed.
TDU World Players will be gifted the total amount of TDU World Tokens to unlock every DLC Item in the game, including Casino once we release support for it. As we have warned in the past, if you haven't unlocked the DLC after this update and you sign in to a profile with DLC Vehicles, they will be reset to Miami's Mustang! You do not have to sell your vehicles though. We will release a workaround when we release the DLC Update.

Weather: Behind the scenes, a lot of testing and trials have taken place to test out new Weather code for the Server.
Whilst there has been improvement, this is still a while away from completion and may take time. Once finished, we hope to tinker with the timings to allow players to unlock the photo achievements whilst online.
In the meantime, if you really want to unlock the photographer awards, please launch TDU2 offline for the best results.

Stats: Player Stats including Leaderboards is currently undergoing a complete rewrite.
The original code simply wasn’t working as expected, and considering stats covers almost every single function in the game, this is a large task to complete.
Due to the complexity around Stats, we cannot promise this will come soon.

 Other Features: Clubs, Casino, and the Community/Official Racing Centers are continually being worked on, features such as MyTDULife (Photos), News, and other smaller but equally important features are also being worked on in stages, however these are all a long way from completion.
Over time we hope to continue getting all these features working and will be posting more updates soon.


The TDU World Mod Pack for TDU2:
Yes it's still being worked on!

In order to bring the community the absolute best we can, some of the Server Development Team Members and our Mod Pack Team have been working to produce brand new and exclusive tools for TDU2 with the aim of achieving complete control over the game’s content.
We're pleased to announce that we will be releasing further news regarding the initial release of the Mod Pack within the next 2 months.
(And yes we mean within 2 months, We're confident as a team that this goal can be achieved!)

 For now, here’s what you can expect in the first TDU World Mod Pack release:
Approximately 30 vehicles including officially unreleased, and a handful of vehicles chosen by the TDU World Team
 Misc bug fixes
TDU World Launcher with TexMod support + lots of bug fixes and improvements

The Mod Pack will be updated on a regular basis to include more content including:
More vehicles: Themed Packs will be released on a timely basis.
Improved Physics: General world physics and a complete rework of all current and future vehicles.
Unreleased Content: This isn’t a promise, but the more we’re tearing apart the game, the more we’re seeing the Auction Center and new buildings such as Night Clubs being a possibility. Over time as our tools improve we will see what we can do about potentially releasing these features depending on how much work they need to finish.

Alongside this awesome news, we've got some upcoming features for the TDU World Launcher:
We’ve gone back to the drawing board with the TDU World Launcher and it has undergone a major transformation.
The next release of the TDU World Launcher will provide:
Better loading, no more “UpLauncher” errors!
Better support for Offline Play
 Improved NAT/Port Forwarding detection
A working Server Status indicator
TexMod Support
New and improved updater for the Launcher, Base Game and the Mod Pack

The new TDU World Launcher will make its debut alongside the Mod Pack, of which the release date will be confirmed within the next 8 weeks. 

Finally, We'd like to thank our Patrons, new and old for supporting us with your donations. We're extremely thankful there's still so many dedicated fans to the TDU Franchise and cannot wait to bring the TDU World Community more content as tome goes by. 
Our promise to all patrons is to continue providing more early access news releases as a way of saying thanks, and as always you will receive merchandise if you're a Super or Ultra Fan.

View File TDU2: Unofficial Patch

TDU2: Unofficial Patch v0.4.1
July 01, 2021
The main goal of this project was to track down and fix many little bugs that were missed by the developers. As the time went by we started adding our own custom content. The patch grew bigger and bigger to the point that UP started to look more like a modpack than a small patch.
TDU2: UP fixes a lot of car's specific bugs - like Lotus Evora gear ratios, Audi Q7 collapsing into tarmac etc. To preserve vanilla driving feeling and performance my changes to the car's physics were done very conservatively.
This mod provides easy access to vehicles (through dealerships) which were removed from the final game. The first release of the patch restored to the game all deleted cars (for example Nissan 370z Nismo and HotRod). Future releases provided cars made by our talented modders. All new vehicles have improved physics and balanced performance - player without UP would still have a chance of winning in multiplayer race using only official vehicles from the same segment - do not worry.
I have spent hundreds of hours preparing this mod. If you want to express your gratitude for my hard work you are welcome to donate.

Thank you for your support and kind words. I really appreciate that.
 
WARNING!
If you don't want our mod cars turn into Miami's Mustangs DO NOT run TDU2 without Unofficial Patch. Never ever. If you have to run the game without TDU2UP at least backup your savegame!
 
Since the version 0.4.1 you are no longer required to unpack the game in order to install the Unofficial Patch.
Just install the mod to your regular TDU2 directory and play - very easy!

Thank to you both for your kind answers.
I am going to reply these:
- that same issue happened with any other browser I was trying to use instead of Firefox, Edge as first.
- I always attempted to login without any "incognito" or anonymous mode, becasue I don't absolutely need to do something the like here.
- I always used my personal accoun data (ID, password) and nothing else, which would not able to figure how to activate either.
So weird that, isn't it?

World server is offline. Probably the app has crashed or hosting went down. Someone who has the keys needs to log in and restart. Patience.

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.

I'm sure that they will improve upon the animatronic NPCs in TDU2, as well as record some more dialogue so there's more variety when you interact with others.

👍 I wish you were right 🙂👌

You probably have a graphics card that uses GDDR6 or GDDR6X memory (i.e. Nvidia GTX 16xx, RTX 20xx, RTX 30xx or AMD RX 5xxx, RX 6xxx). This new memory type causes issues when opening the map.
 
DXVK a.k.a. "RTX Fix"
The most common fix is to use the RTX Fix .dll file. It will fix the map freezing issue, but could potentially cause game lag/stability issues also. I will attach it to this post, copy and paste in your TDU2 directory.
(Download only works after joining the club.)
d3d9.dll
I personally have an RTX 3070, and with the RTX Fix the game becomes laggy and unstable. Instead of freezing in the map view, it can freeze randomly now. That's why I use the following method myself:
 
Alt-Tab method
When opening the map for the first time after launching, it opens on the most zoomed in view. This is the view where the game freezes, but does not actually crash. What you want to do is alt-tab out of the game and go back in while quickly zooming out on the map. During alt-tabbing back into the game, it becomes responsive for a second. When you succesfully zoom out, the game should work again.
Good thing: once you're zoomed out, the map will always open in that view, so it will not crash afterwards. Just don't zoom in too far 😉
Here's a video showing the method:
 
Hope this helps!

Hhmmm... just that date made me suspiciuos a lot. 😆
