Well done, BEight (why do I keep wanting to call you BBEight lol). This a great new direction for TDU1 modding and I hope to see more like it.

Try right-clicking the file in question or it's parent folder, go to Properties, and make sure the Read Only box is not ticked.

Try running one stick of RAM without the other, then swap after a few days. Do you notice a difference?

Animated desktop wallpaper simulator looking good!

A brief interview with Alain Jarniou (Creative Director at KT Racing) was published by thesixthaxis.com: https://www.thesixthaxis.com/2022/10/04/test-drive-unlimited-solar-crown-preview-interview-with-kt-racing-alain-jarniou/ The interview does not drop any bombshells but does reflect on Alain's past passion projects (TDU 1 and 2) and reveals that despite the 1:1 map scale, tweaks and adjustments will be made to the game world to suit the types of driving and racing we all expect without getting stuck in traffic jams on very narrow roads. Alain reassures us that the game is more than just racing, but about car appreciation and enjoyment of (virtual) ownership. Another interview discussing WRC and TDU was published at screenrant.com https://screenrant.com/alain-jarniou-interview-wrc-generations-preview/ TDU Solar Crown remains slated for a release date sometime in 2023.

Some promote the use of a dgVoodoo wrapper and 4GB patcher for this issue

You may need to install a mod to access one of the community servers as the official TDU2 servers are dead. But this thread is for TDU1. Please have a look here and here.

Generally speaking, most traffic the Internet sends to your home is in response to a request originating from your home. i.e. you go to youtube.com, so you sent a request, the Internet responds, and your router knows it must belong to you (instead of other devices on your network) because you sent the request a moment ago. Multiplayer gaming with peer-to-peer connections means that the Internet may send data to your home that you did not request. So if your router doesn't know who in your home wants this data, the router may just block it. It would be like getting a letter in your mailbox with 'To the householder'. It's not named so you may throw it in the bin. Each game or program can attach a port ID number and type along with its data. i.e. TCP 3478. You can then instruct your router to forward all data with that port number to your computer (IP Address) and not block it. This is what we call Port Forwarding. Because everyone has a different brand of Internet router, you will need to search for instructions relating to your router. i.e. search 'How to port forward NetGear/Asus/DLink', etc on YouTube or Google. https://portforward.com/

There was one mission with a bug like this. The way to avoid was to take a different route (which was considerably longer) to avoid a particular piece of road that must have had a rough connection causing this problem.

You will find them in your Documents folder under Test Drive Unlimited\savegame\yourprofile\photos (or something like that)

Hey Beav Diablo shut that forum down after a period of inactivity, probably due to the costs.

The only thing I can think of is to ask if you're 110% sure you're patching the correct exe and not an old one that isn't being used? Does it happen if you drive other cars? Or maybe it's hinting that you go to bed?

I don't think you need to modify any config files. You can remap menu controls in the game.
