@tasos007007

its working thanks a lot.

also one question, in terms of physics or car handling realism how does TDU compare to say, Assetto Corsa or Project Cars? been wanting a street racing game with realistic driving physics, A game like Driver would be nice with Realistic physics.

It was very good for the time, and certainly better than TDU2.  I can't speak for cars with modded physics, but I think AC and pCARS are on another level thanks to release half a decade later.

TDU1 Hardcore mode suffers from 'moon gravity' when you go flying over crests, and I find it works better dialling the wheel rotation down from 900 to say 540 or lower.  But I do love how doing burnouts feels in this game, especially with a wheel and H shifter with clutch pedal.  Learning to drift around the island with others is also great fun.  Making up game modes to play with friends is also a big plus.

Nice looking model and scene there.  I'm a bit confused at what I'm seeing in the first image through the windscreen, it's like the car door is missing...

I have the XL.   I don't use it for gaming inputs.  I don't think you'd want to be looking at it while racing to make sure you pressing the right button.  Button-boxes designed for racing would use different button shapes/styles/positions so that you can feel for the right one without looking.  The mini StreamDeck might not be so bad since each button is closer to an edge or corner that you might be able to memorise.

Always good see an OG member return.  Funny how we forget to post stuff here because of the chatbox (Discord) lol.  Agree with everything Who says, but I thought they were concept art and not exact screenshots. 

I remain curious and optimistic but have doubts if the location will hold my attention for as long as O'ahu did.  I'm already getting bored of Mexico, and before Alex mentions density, I don't think replacing half of the FH5 map with more of the Guanajuato city would be an improvement.  The flip side of course is that this could be the unofficial NFS Underground 2 reimagination we didn't know we needed.

There is also speculation floating around that we might start to hear of The Crew 3 next year.

Use the exe that comes with Platinum mod - use the '4gb patch' version to avoid crashing issues. You can't use the OG DVD exe because it used SecuROM DRM which is blocked in Windows 10 and above.

The following is now out of Beta:

Anti-Piracy has now been turned OFF! - Players using keys shared by the community will now be able to play TDU World Online.
You asked, and we have listened. 
Notice: You will NOT be able to play TDU World with a cracked EXE.
You may find a clean copy of the game on Internet Archives, Install TDU World Launcher, it will update your game as required, then when prompted, activate your game using the Key you have sourced from the internet. 
We cannot provide support for any cracked copies of the game, so please don't ask us directly or in troubleshooting about cracked editions of TDU2.

Lobbying 2.0 - Finally Live! We're still looking into various flaws in the system, however Lobbying has been improved and should be more stable. If you're having issues, make sure you've opened Port 8889, as this is very important to being able to host and join players!
Some Lobbying issues are due to the launcher being unable to properly detect NAT. A Launcher Update is coming soon, so please be patient with us.

Races - Thanks to Lobbying 2.0, we're pleased to announce that public testing for Races is now under way. 
Please note, we're aware of a bug that may kick players from joined race lobbies with a "no game found" message.
This can be bypassed if the race host starts the race as soon as you join. We're working to resolve this as quick as we can.

Friends - You may now send and receive Friend Requests, Add users by Username, and Join Friends if they're online!
Friends online, will show notifications when they join or leave your lobby. This is a little bit of a bug, however over time we're hoping to improve this so real time notifications will work again in the longer term.

Map/Joining - We're still blowing some cobwebs out of these functions, however the Map should now start working properly once you're in a lobby, and Joining Friends, Recent Players, and teleporting to players in your Lobby, should now be semi-functional.
We are aware that occasionally, Map Updates behind the scenes may cause people's games to crash, we're working on resolving this as quick as we can.

Statistics/MyTDULife - At this time, basic stats such as Money, Vehicles/Houses Owned are now syncing again, however MyTDULife is not functional until further notice. We hope to have an update for this soon.

Leaderboards - We're still working on implementing leaderboards, so for now you will only see a "Coming Soon" entry. No Times or Scores are syncing to us yet.

Dealerships - We're now able to control what vehicles appear in any dealership. At this time, only the standard vehicles will show in each dealership, however in the future we hope to utilize this feature during special events.

Casino - Until further notice, Casino is joinable, however all the functions are disabled so Casino Games, the Audi Race or the Bar are NOT accessible yet. As soon as each part of the Casino is ready, we will open each game mode up as necessary. Expect an update very soon.

Racing Centers - Until further notice, Racing Centers are NOT accessible on the TDU World Server. As soon as they're ready, we will open them up. 

Clubs - Until further notice, Clubs are NOT Accessible on the TDU World Server. As soon as they're ready, we will open them up. Expect an update very soon.

Ah ok.  I think it would be best if you head over to the TDU World Discord server and ask in the troubleshooting section.  @xXBeefyDjXxmanages the server and has the ability to check your account directly. 

Have you watched this video tutorial:

I think you have to type your email address in the game matching the one used in TDUW.

hello i was wondering how you could play the game online, i don't have a game spy account and was not able to understand the FAQ that included questions about the multiplayer, if anyone can help i appreciate it.

You do not need a Gamespy account (the service no longer exists), but you will create a fake one in-game when setting up your profile.  If it fails to connect, try again while using any public VPN.

Funny thing is I bought it a month or two ago on sale and have never launched it yet.  And now the Steam winter sales beckon...

Nice, great to have you back.  TDU World is a community mod to get TDU2 online with extra cars and tweaked physics, etc.  Online profiles with free-roam is currently available.

In the Steam client:

1) Click your username from the top right, then click 'Account Details', to go to your Steam store control page.

2) From the Steam store control page, under the 'Store & Purchase History' header, click 'View licenses and product key activations'. This page shows, in chronological order, what games you have acquired and how (Steam store, retail code, complimentary copy, or gift). 

 

Do you see TDU2 listed here?

Do you have any screenshots of this effect that you can post?

One thing you could try is using CheatEngine to find the memory address that stores the time of day and then freeze it.  You'll need to watch a generic tutorial on how to use it then trial and error to see if you can make it work.

TDU World requires a legit game and serial number anyway so there's no point trying with a cracked game.

I don't think the edited cpr file to unlock all roads is intended for normal save games, but more for developers testing things quickly.  It may have caused your issues.  

I see on Discord you have resolved the issue by using another program to unzip.

Ah ok.  Funny thing is I also find RHD cars weird to drive in game even though in real life I drive on the left side of the road, just because so many games feature LHD cars on the right side of the road.

I searched for a video for you.  I've never tried it myself so cannot answer those questions.

Hi Melvin.  What kind of network router do you have?  Do you play over WiFi or plugged into a network cable?

In most cases, a free router provided by your ISP will be unsuitable for online multiplayer.

A good quality 'gaming' router connected over Ethernet cable is the optimal way to play online.  Routers have CPU, RAM, etc like PCs do and those specs can struggle to keep up as you connect more devices in your home and consume more online content.  You should consider upgrading them perhaps half as often as you upgrade your GPU or CPU. 

Please make sure UPnP is enabled in your router configuration, and check the log file on your computer Documents\Test Drive Unlimited\upnp.txt to see if any issues are reported.

Perhaps something like this might help:

If you created an online (GameSpy) profile and completed the initial tutorial (rent a car, buy a house, buy a car, win a race, etc) then you should bump into other players as you drive around populated areas like the city (Waikiki). 

Open the map, and near the top-left of screen you can click to show other players.  Click on a player on the map to be teleported near them if you have unlocked that road.  Monitor the animated globe icon in your GPS as it indicates an attempt to establish a connection to other players. 

Your success may depend on how good your network router is and if portforwarding/UPnP is enabled.

Hello, I want to install the Unofficial Patch, but my game requires the DLC2 update first. I have tried multiple times to download the update through the links provided in this thread, I have copied the update into my TDU2 folder, but when I launch the game, it is still the old version with no DLC2. I must be doing something wrong, any tips on how I can make this work?

Scroll through this guide and see  if this helps:

I'm sure many luxury cars there are imports so could still be RHD.
