I installed from the original DVD with my original key from inside. But you are absolutely right - I replaced the original exe with the noCD-exe as it takes more than 30s of time everytime I start TDU only for that damn DVD-check. So I will try again with the disturbing original exe. Maybe that could solve the problem of getting over that point where the game hangs...

That obviously doesnt matter here. But Ive found the reason for the offline problem - when I once setup my profile, I forgot the marker for GameSpy, so I created an offline game. So I now created a new profile and now server is online. BUT: Now I have to start the new career and have to choose a person and have to rent a car and buy the first house and car. That works. But until now I have no access to the map etc.. Next step is to drive to the first race. But when I try to start the race nothing happens, I cant get any further. Music and graphics run on, but I cant get to the main menu, have to close TDU via taskManager. Every time I restart it, I shall do this f*** race first. Crap! When I create an offline profile without GameSpy checkmark, I can get further and complete this race. Whats wrong here?

Can I take my old offline profile and avtivate GameSpy option? Inside the GameSpy menu there is no option for that. :-(

Maybe somebody can help me - I've installed everything correctly in the way described in the readme, but there seems to be no connection to the game server. GameSpy-Login is accepted and I get into the game without any connection lag. When I'm inside the garage or on the in-game-map, then it says in the top left corner "TDU server unavailable". I can see some other (CPU?) drivers, but always the same (Walter, Pattie, Helen etc.). How can I get my installation to connect with the TDU server?
