I dont know what it is, but I have had a real motherfucker of a time trying to get TDU platinum to stay running. It installs fine and then it works. But for some reason for no particular cause it just stops working. It will boot up and show the TDU logo very darkly on all my screens. Then just refuse to start up. No matter what I do I cannot get the game to start consistently anymore.
I have removed d3d9.dll and started the game with both the regular exe and project paradise.I have the crack to avoid the DRM
I have removed enbseries
I have installed patch 1.12
I have run in compatibility mode.( from xp to windows 8 )
I have run as windows
I have run as windows with settings unlocked.
I have installed the game on a different drive
I have run the game off of a flash drive
I have run it in 640x480 in settings in the properties tab.
installed a generation earlier of drivers ( Adrenalin 21.4.1 Recommended (WHQL )
For some reason, after a few months. The game just refuses to start up no matter what.
i currently have it deleted and cleaned the registry, but under no circumstance did it ever turn back on. Someone help me, I refuse to belive this game became self aware and just headed out to lunch.
Check the troubleshooting guide here if you haven't already.
I would suggest starting over with a new install to rule out whatever extra changes you've made. Install TDU base game and drop Platinum on top of it, apply the 1.12 patch. Then go through the troubleshooting guide.
Also there were reports of some versions like TDU Gold causing issues. It should be fine, but check archive.org or abandonware sites for other isos if necessary.

I have TDU Gold as one package. 1.66A I think. Will this run or do i need to get a different version?
It works. If you run into any issues check the Troubleshooting FAQ.

Get in trouble with the law? This game has been cut off from online for a long time and there are no updates for it. Moreover, the rights to develop a new part have been transferred to other developers who have not been able to release Solar Crown for a long time.
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.

It's stupid that the multiplayer is only for the official versions of the game. I won't buy it anywhere. Do it already for the hacked versions
You know what would be even more stupid.. supporting hacked versions and opening yourself up to legal trouble after years of developing the multiplayer. Also I'm sure your demand has been noted and put to the top of the priority list.

12 hours ago, Anon123 said:There's a claim of over 880 vehicles added, and I get that the list provided in the post stipulates 470 cars are hidden from the list, but from what I understand the hidden vehicles is referring to the special tuning options available. So technically, it's kind of a bs thing to say 880 cars when that's not actually the case. It builds up a false anticipation and personally a big middle finger to the players imo.
Check out the other TDU builds with more cars.. they should also have more things to complain about as well, so it should suit your needs better.

Can anyone tell me where can I find the BMW 507? Seems like it's the only car that isn't for sale, but I've seen it in Race Around the Crater... This is really bugging me.
Its been delisted from the dealership in the recent patch. If you want it, temporarily replace your current db.bnk (euro\bnk\database) with the original unpatched Platinum db.bnk so you can buy it at the classic merc dealer. Then change the db.bnk back afterwards.

A workaround is to use ds4windows and map the right stick x and y axis to the L2/R2 triggers. This is the quick and easy solution. The following solution is better because its native, but its hit and miss, and also not very easy to set.
The DS4 triggers actually count as both analog and digital buttons. In most games which lack DS4 support when you set the triggers they show up as Button 7/8 instead of an axis. Sometimes its possible to bind them as analog if you hold the trigger halfway and then select to bind it in the game options. This method is hit or miss depending on the game, and may take a lot of tries to get the axis to show up.. but it is a possible solution.

Unfortunately Project Paradise was hosted in the OVH data center that burned down last night, i don't know if or when it will be back online yet.
Sorry to hear that but thanks for the update. Appreciate all you've done.

Nice, planning to do the fire truck too?

Saw you earlier.. looks like your connections alright now. Connecting with others is spotty for me too atm. I heard its recommended to jump into a house or dealership, then back to freeroam to rejoin a dropped session.

Heeeeeeelp meeee!
Please,
I make the installation and uninstall the "platinum", it won't let me play, it throws me an error "d3d9.dll is not found", I already verified and if it is in the folder, deactivate antivirus and it remains the same, it occurred to me to change the name to "d3d9_49" It works but some vehicles are not visible and others are, I close the game and reopen it and those that were visible no longer appear, now there are others that did not appear before, the BIG.bnk is active, I return the name to "d3d9 .dll "and the same error continues, I'm going crazy since I want to play the MOD, heeeeelp meee please, sorrry for my english iam Italian
Check the faq here
Try disabling anything that may be a potential overlay. (Steam, Rivatuner, GeForce Experience, recording apps, etc.) Sounds like somethings screwing up your d3d9.

@Oblibs Thanks. I'll try your method today.
@TDU Iceman But like I said - I've done that, my game was working in 60fps, but the traffic was still bugging/glitching. So I think Oblibs's idea is decent, because I don't need the traffic (I know - the Oahu will be more empty, but that's not a big issue for me)
I know you said that. It still sounds like a vsync issue, maybe persisting due to overlay apps you still have running, as I mentioned earlier. Try disabling anything like that first, and keep vsync checked in the launcher.

Definitely sounds like a vsync issue. Vsync needs to be checked in the launcher, and also disable rivatuner or any other overlay/video settings that cap the fps.

But maybe I could find some time for contribute, despite it's possible I may not. But seriously, at your place, you could try to...
Sounds to me you're not interested in doing anything here except complaining and making excuses (for the good of the community ofc).

You only need TDU (basic install) > Platinum > Platinum 1.12 update

Check the FAQ here for online issues.
Most ppl use Platinum online and the server is quite active most of the day.

Update of TDU:SC steam page!
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1249970/Test_Drive_Unlimited_Solar_Crown/
Nice to know its likely not an Epic Games Store exclusive like WRC 8. Hopefully theres no restriction like Isle of Man 2.

I use the DS4 fine. I forget how I set it up exactly but I remember setting the triggers as right stick x & y, because the normal L2/R2 buttons are recognized as z-axis (which means both triggers are bound to a single axis).

That could be a failure from Securom drivers, then. Did you try restarting Windows?
First and foremost, I would eliminate this as a possible cause. Windows 10 already has issues with older games, not to mention Securom which is no longer supported by Microsoft. If you fail to launch something alongside TDU, it could be the Securom kicking in.

Try the no-cd crack or base install with Platinum dropped on it. I never heard of anyone not using the no-cd, so the issue might be related to that.

These days publishers try to kill modding as much as they can. They want that sweet microtransaction money, and they like to hand out crumbs like skins to pad their updates.

but why not testdriveunlimited3?
I think it would be more likely at this point to assume "solarcrown" is for theming the site rather than the official name of TDU3. That is, it could be a pretend version of the "Solar Crown" tv show's website.

I have never heard anyone saying it will be called test drive solar crown except this one out of context post some comments ago to be honest
The recent news is Nacon (TDU3 publisher) recently registered a website with the name "testdrivesolarcrown."
Some ppl are jumping to conclusions assuming thats the official name of the game when in fact many game sites use an abbreviated name for their domain. "testdriveunlimited3solarcrown" would just be dumb.
