    I really don't care what your excuses are. I just see what your actions are and form my opinion based on that. You constantly spam your website in this thread, and don't do anything beyond that. You wanted to call your new build Platinum Plus which is confusing to new users. And couldn't even wait a week after Platinum released to shill it here and poach users. And why are you posting non-Platinum mods in Platinum's thread to begin with, instead of your own? Just to reap more attention I assume. Btw you managed to spout all that dumb garbage and yet you still haven't answered Diablo's question, nor addressed any of the legitimate concerns I made in my previous post. So yeah, I guess thats my "problem with you."

    Tbh, I think he just wants to advertise his site. Platinum is exploding in popularity atm, so hes coming here to pull some traffic. Also, I think his posts at least belong in a separate mod thread. They may confuse newcomers checking out Platinum for the first time here. And there are a lot of fresh newcomers.. almost everyday I see a new peak on the server.. it's gone from 100 peak pre-Platinum (on weekends only), to 240+ just the other day.. and its still growing. So, my thought is to keep things as simple as possible: Platinum is Platinum, and anything else should be called something else and put in a separate thread. Or, no spamming external sites is a good general rule as well. Just my two cents.

    If you just started, work your way up to champion level to unlock hardcore mode, then drive no assist, manual. Also try that bmw m4 tune with the lewd waifu on the hood.

    This sounds like a good idea.. I'd have recommended it too if I remembered, lol. I can't test it myself, but if this actually solves the problem for everyone, then I think it would also be a good idea to create a simple script that automates this process when TDU is run. Then upload it as a mod or post it in the faq. But first lets see if it works for everyone.

    If you're on 1920x1080, try lowering your resolution to 1280x720, and use Borderless Gaming app to make it borderless fullscreen. I did this to get a stable 60fps on a potato awhile back. It's not the same situation as having a higher spec pc, but lowering the resources may get things running smooth and stable. But in all honesty, the frames dropping over time issue sounds like a memory leak, or bloat. Like what Firefox used to do. It would run fine for a time, but eventually it would eat up so much ram that the app would grind to a slide show. I'm aware there are methods to diagnose memory leaks and flush Window's memory cache without having to reboot or close the program, but thats beyond my knowledge. What I do know is that Platinum runs fine on my machine and others with different systems and setups. So, the good news is that something probably just needs to be enabled or disabled on your machine for everything to work fine. I would start with closing all nonessential apps and testing stability. Then closing/disabling all overlays, or nonessential graphics driver settings. Then testing WinXP SP3 compatibility in the properties of the .exe. Maybe also trying different graphics cards if any spares are on hand. Or try a registry repair app, etc.

    Great job. I'm going to put together a basic list of things, but it might take me awhile.

    Theres a lot of good tips in this thread that should probably be compiled in an FAQ or wiki by now. 4 gb patch for crashing, frame drops x360ce and DS4windows for gamepad issues G27 fix for wheels Borderless Gaming app for alt tabbing (prevents black screen iirc) Enble vsync, capping fps to 60 to prevent traffic bug And probably a lot of other things I can't recall atm

    Framerate issues may be ram issues in some cases. I usually never get frame drops, but it'll happen if I have a browser open and its ram usage bloats up over time. So, try closing all nonessential apps if you get hit with drops, especially if everything is fine for awhile and then the drops start occurring later on.
  9. TDU Iceman
    Did you try it yet? Xbox1 drivers should connect because they're xinput. But if they don't, try x360ce, 32-bit build.

    Because as a general rule, it keeps the modding community healthy. It results in less idiots messing with others projects and creating unnecessary disputes that way. And secondly, piracy is not theft, it's copyright infringement.. but regardless, any concerns about morality are irrelevant because each modding community gets to decide what it's own rules are. Even in the topsite piracy scene, there are even much stricter rules that warez groups must abide by, comparatively. So, just be happy with what you get for free.
  11. TDU Iceman
    Yep.. I'm still waiting for these. So many rims now, gotta keep checking back.

    DS4Windows - Jays2Kings Build (Version 1.4.52) I believe this was by the original maintainer, before the project got forked. Also there is a quirk to it. Before closing the program, I always have an app running called USB Safely Remove. I use that to do a safe removal of the (emulated) Microsoft Xbox 360 Controller before closing DS4Windows. Because if the x360 emulated driver doesn't automatically remove itself after closing DS4Windows, then it breaks and you can't use it anymore until you do a hard reboot. This screws the OS to the point you can't even shut down via Windows, so you'll have to manually hold the power button to power off. It sounds messed up but its the best solution I've found for my system atm. Anyway its almost always a reliable process, so I've been sticking with it.. (and it has good rumble and touchpad mouse support). Maybe x360ce works too, but iirc I couldn't get it working right.

    Use ds4windows. Remap the ds4 triggers to xbox 360's Right Stick - Right, and Right Stick - Up. This will give full analog use to the triggers. Also you may need to use an older build; I had issues with the newer ones.

    Did you at least get credited for the Gold Cup finish on the map after you restart the game? I did, so I just moved on, lol.
  15. TDU Iceman
    I might have had that issue. Try exiting the game and restarting. I thought it might've been just me and it only happened a few times on some early missions so I didn't bring it up. Anyway, heres what I wrote down earlier: Halawai Blvd race by classic chevy dealership (couldn't exit after finishing) Lead Soles (by ferrari tuner) 170mph in Heavy Traffic (east of muscle tuner) On the Project Paradise launcher, tick the Vsync box. It sounds like you need to cap your fps to 60.
  16. TDU Iceman
    Try setting app compatibility to win xp, vista or 7. Cap the framerate to 60.. use Borderless Gaming app.. and look here for other things you can do.
  17. TDU Iceman
    Rare and expensive cars
  18. TDU Iceman
    This was a memorable experience.. TDU marathon for 4 straight days, lol. So, I can confirm the sp campaign works great. Start to finish, no issues. Must've heard Bananarama, Tupac Changes, and Kavinsky Nightcall like a million times. Also the delivery missions are great picks, and same goes for the reward cars.
  19. TDU Iceman
    Maybe try x360ce, the 32-bit version.. the game may pick it up better than the standard x360 drivers. Try switching between xinput and directinput too.
  20. TDU Iceman
    FFB is for wheels.. do you mean rumble?
  21. TDU Iceman
    Good choice. Imo, allowing for easier downloading means more ppl will play and talk about the game, which should naturally lead to more forum regs. And they'll be meaningful regs, not just made for downloading.
  22. TDU Iceman
    You're the user. You know everything about every car, lol.

    https://old.reddit.com/r/pcgaming/comments/bfo1j3/test_drive_unlimited_platinum_mod_released_after/ People are interested.. its just the ISO is not easy to get a hold of.
  24. TDU Iceman
    Thats odd. If you can connect normally with your existing profile, then the only thing I can think of is the server blocking your ip from registering too many new accounts.. like some sort of spam filter. Maybe resetting and changing your ip might do something.
  25. TDU Iceman
    Thats weird. Are you typing in different emails and passwords? Using a different email for each profile, and retyping the pw on each attempt might do something. When I was trying out different names, when I reticked the gamespy box, I got "The password you entered was invalid." , which was kind of strange because it wasn't abnormal or anything. Anyway, I kept manually retyping the pw on latter attempts and it went through.
