There are cracked executables with the 4GB patch applied included in update 1.04 of Platinum.

Project Paradise relies in that d3d9.dll, so removing it will obviously break the game. This is what might fix it:
1. Check the file properties for both the Project Paradise Launcher and TestDriveUnlimited executables, make sure no compatibility modes are set.
2. Make sure to exclude the games from your antivirus and/or use CustomD3D support in RTSS/MSI Afterburner if you're using them, same goes for other overlay programs.

I had the same issue and this is what fixed it.

I started making a list, but it seems every 2nd or 3rd car is missing (or very quiet) sound in certain views. Usually when in cockpit/hood/bumper view and looking back, but too many to list. Still working on a list of cars with wrong animation (which it seems is not only animation, but cars act like they have paddle shift as well) and cars with unsynched cockpit gauges. This isn't to seem negative or hate on the mod, just bug reporting.
There's an option in the Paradise launcher to disable steering wheel + character, would it be possible to implement something that just disables the character and not the steering wheel as well? That would be a good alternative in my opinion.

Thanks a ton for this!

Thanks, can confirm that. Having so much fun now that the game looks and runs flawlessly 😃

I do, that worked as well. Thanks very much!

Also wondering if I can install mods over Platinum or will they cause problems? Such as these:
 
 

Edit: Fixed! Disabled compatibility mode and everything works perfectly now 😄
 
Reinstalled - now game doesn't start with d3d9.dll in the game folder  

Edit: Game just crashed in the dealership, not sure what's wrong as I followed the instructions for installation properly.
 
Is it normal for cars not to appear at rental and dealerships? What I'm talking about: 

Glad to see LFS being posted elsewhere 🙂 

Genuine question; since the majority of car mods are models pirated from a plethora of licensed games without any permissions, what is wrong with modifying them further? None of the mod authors own the rights or licenses to the cars and/or models in question in the cases of them being ripped from Forza, Need For Speed, Gran Turismo, etc. etc. so why should anyone care about nonsense "mod theft" which doesn't make sense in the first place?

Thanks a ton for this!
