  1. Money cheats should only be used for offline profiles. Servers have cheat detection and you risk being banned.
  2. Mod note - user was replying to posts and inserting spam links in the quotes to avoid detection.

    1. They have caused the community server to crash in the past, meaning no-one can play until the server owner restarts it.
    2. Real life car accelerator/brake pedals are not exactly linear either. Have you considered looking for pedal mods (custom springs, dampeners) that you can purchase to improve the feel? You can press Ctrl+G in game (may require Hardcore mode) to show an overlay of inputs to verify if you have any deadzone or sensitivity issues. You can also try recalibrating the controls in Windows or remap them in game, being sure you push down all the way.
    3. You need to install and connect to any VPN (you know the ones that most YouTube sponsors talk about) for one time when first using Platinum with an online profile. Once you're in you can get rid of the VPN as you shouldn't need it again. Pick something reputable with a free trial or no questions asked refund policy. Connecting to Europe/Netherlands seems to work the best.
    4. Your savegame files are located in Documents\Test Drive Unlimited. You can back them up and any time simply by copying and pasting the folder elsewhere. It's recommended that you do this every so often, especially after progressing through the races. If you switch to the Alfa Romeo GTV (F class) and save, then reinstall TDU and play it without any mods, you may be able to complete the race that was crashing for you. After installing the game, go to the installation folder (i.e. C:\Games\Test Drive Unlimited) and make a backup copy of all of the files before installing any mods on top. That way to can switch between vanilla and modded versions of the game at any time. You can make as many duplicates of the installation folder as you like. You may need to copy the d3d9.dll file from Platinum into your vanilla folder so that you can log into your online profile.
    5. Use a VPN the first time you create an online profile. I find connecting to a European country such as the Netherlands works well.
