Some Folk

This mod requires the Andraste Framework in at least Version 0.1.1, which you can get here:
 
It will skip the two intro videos ("bumper") as well as the AFK video (deadmau5, "Teaser_TDU2").
It will also skip the splash screen cards with the legal trademark screens and the warnings about not driving like that in reallife (as well as the tips screen "Ze White Rabbit" after loading into a profile).
In my case, when roughly counting by hand, this brought starting the game down from 19s to 9s, which may add up, if you launch the game frequently after doing an edit to your mod.
Installation: Just unzip the content, so that you have the skip-intros folder and move that folder into Andraste's mods folder.
Enjoy.

Textures updated, some small fixes and brightness correction.

Introducing the first Community Multiplayer Server for Test Drive Unlimited 2!
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Important Notice
TDU World DOES NOT support unpacked/cracked/modified editions of Test Drive Unlimited 2!
We are aware there are no longer CD Keys for TDU2 at a reasonable price given the "abandonware" situation.
A clean copy of the original DVD installation can be found on Internet Archives here:
https://archive.org/details/tdu2-multi5-dvd

If you do not have a CD Key, or can't find a working one online, you can use 80_PA to "fake activate" TDU2.
The latest download can be found here, you need the 7Z release.
https://github.com/Blaukovitch/80_PA/releases
In order to use 80_PA, simply open TDU2, when asked for activation enter "1234-1234-1234-1234" then when prompted for invalid key, click offline activation.
Launch 80_PA.exe in the zip and paste the "Unlock Request Code" into 80_PA.
Click Generate Unlock Code. Copy/Paste the Unlock Code into the TDU Activation Window, then play as normal.
NO mods other than the ones provided via our Launcher are supported.
Let us know if you'd like to see a mod come to TDU World and we'll see about making it happen!

How to install
Step 1: Installing TDU2
Perform a clean, standard install of Test Drive Unlimited 2 either from Steam or DVD/Digital Download
You must use a completely clean download if you do not have the Steam or DVD Edition. Repacked/Cracked editions are NOT supported!
 
Step 2: Preparing TDU2
Before you install TDU World, please run the original UpLauncher.exe at least once.
You do not need to start the game with the original launcher unless you want to make sure your game is installed properly.
Failure to do so will result in TDU World failing to find your game!
Make sure you have a text file named "key" in the game directory. Without this, you will not be able to access TDU World!
If the key.txt file does not exist in your directory, create the text file yourself and paste your CD key inside.
Note: The CD Key is NOT your Steam Key! Steam will give you a separate CD Key. Right click the game in your Library, select Manage, then CD Keys.

 
Step 3: Installing TDU World
If you haven't already, go to TDUWorld.com & register an account by clicking "Register" and activating your account.
You must use a legitimate E-mail address!
Inactivated accounts are not allowed online.
Once you've registered and activated your TDU World Account, click the Download button on this page to download TDU World.
Run the installer, It will automatically find TDU2 as long as you have a supported version installed.
Optional: Tick the Shortcut box to put a cool TDU World Shortcut on your Desktop or in your Start Menu to easily play TDU World.
The Installer will then ask you if you wish to proceed installing TDU World. Press "Yes" to proceed.

When you first load TDU World you will be required to download and install the TDU World Base Pack,
as well as the latest version of the game if you haven't already got an up to date version of TDU2.
You can also find other mods available using the Mod Manager.
Open the game and register a new account using your TDU World credentials.
(Nickname = Profile Name, TDU World Account = TDU World Username, Password = TDU World Account Password)
Congratulations, you can now play online! Have fun!

I working on new physics to TDU2
Here is new 1.05 version
Features:
 
Braking can block wheels More powerful handbrake Some optimization of traction control Edited ForceFeedback Edited aerodynamics Good for drifting Realistic understeer New motorbike physics and handling  
Important:
Hardcore setup is now really hardcore and it's good for drifting with 4wd cars (e.g. Bugatti Veyron)
Sport setup is made for drifting with rwd cars and for perfect lap times
Full assistance is for normal cruise around city and it can also be used for perfect lap times easily
It works online and also with Unofficial patch and AutoPack.
 
I was originally inspired by Veno physics mod and thanks to him I could understand how it works.
 
Used modifications:
Unofficial patch 0.4
 
Tested on Logitech G27
 
I still working on Clutch/Brake linearity and car suspension. Now I work on version for normal (slow) driving with smooth brakes and steering. I'll release it soon.
 
 
Video:
 
Installation:
Copy downloaded file to TDU2 main folder and overwrite original Physics.cpr file You also need different laucher e.g. Knyazev Universal launcher or the TDU World Launcher  

This is a simple Reshade* preset for Project Paradise Multiplayer, It was not possible to have them both if you have newer Windows 10 OS but now it is!!**
Setup
Just move the files to where the actual game executable file is. You need to install Project Paradise first!

This is a simple Reshade preset with non-RTX & non-DX12 RT ray tracing effect* that I tried to make it work with TDU2. Press shift + F12 to open the panel and adjust the graphics settings in-game.
Setup
Just move the files to where the actual game executable file is.
If you can't play TDU2 because you have an nVidia RTX graphics card then do the steps below!**
Delete D3D9.DLL, if it is in the TDU2 directory Get DirectX9 https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=8109 Run directx_Jun2010_redist.exe. Extract the files wherever on your PC Out of the extracted files, find and run the DXSETUP.exe and finish installing the DX9. Install this ReShade mod and enjoy!
