Use this tool if you have Windows 64-bit (x64) and wish to patch your older 32-bit (x86) game executables (*.exe files).
This is particularly useful for large and/or modified games that you feel are randomly crashing due to a lack of system memory (RAM).  This has proven to be particularly useful for the Test Drive Unlimited games.

Entry points:

Known Issues:
Tree flickering
A few trees can flicker on and off. None actually on the road, but it may be distracting. I'm currently looking into it.
Floating trees
I didn’t have the Heightmap model from tdu2 so the terrain is a mix of TDU1 Hmap, TDU2 roads, and guesswork.
 
 

Platinum's Halawai Boulevard race softlocks when the race finishes. The race "continues" in the background with no way to close the results screen. It appears to be related to the number of AI drivers. With 5 it always works normally.
This file: Took the IGE from the vanilla game, extended the race to Platinum's layout (using less checkpoints), set to 5 bots, $10000 prize, other settings untouched.
Install: Just overwrite RSFE0024.IGE in \Euro\Bnk\Ige

Andraste Modding Framework
Andraste, at it’s core, is a generic modding framework, aiming to bring a modern toolset into old (DX 9) and modern games alike. It does so by injecting a .NET FX Runtime into native applications, allowing us to code the framework in a safe language (C#), which even opens up the possibility to write code modifications in .NET languages, that interface seamlessly with the native code of the game.
Note: This current release requires you to be tech-savy and is primarly aimed at mod developers and to find problems with the base-framework. It won't provide major features, yet, so don't sweat it, if you can't get it to run.
Note: While this is in the TDU2 category, Andraste can also be used for TDU1 and potentially a lot of other games (unless they are 64 bits or have some protective anti cheat system)
 
How to run Andraste
Currently, Andraste only comes with a console launcher, so to launch it, you need to execute the Launcher.exe and pass the path to your game.
This can be done by dragging the game onto the Launcher.exe or better: creating a shortcut to do that.
If Andraste is running, it should write logging output into the console window of the launcher.
At this point, you can start creating mods that will then be loaded into your game.
In order for mods to be loaded into your game, place them into the mods folder next to the Launcher.exe
Currently, since the Launcher has no proper GUI, all mods are always loaded, you can't toggle them, but you can move them out of the mods folder.
If you still have problems launching Andraste, see our Docs on using the Launcher and "installing" mods.
 
Converting an Mod into the Andraste Format
First, make sure that you have the permission of the original author to convert/upload the andraste version of the mod.
Then, follow our Getting Started Guide
 
What can I use it for, at the moment?
If you managed to convert a mod, you can now use (and remove!) these game mods, without changing your unpacked(!) base game (the game needs to be unpacked, because the VFS feature only replaces existing files, it doesn't create packed files yet).

While this feature may not be impressive yet (besides removing mods without having to have a backup of your game folder somewhere), there is much more possible with that technique, but that takes manpower and time.
Internally, we're currently using the scripting functionality to find out more about the game and progress on different fronts such as multiplayer or asset manager, so definitely stay tuned for further progress, at some point, we will release the TDU2 Modding Framework, that is an additional layer on top of Andraste, providing TDU2 specific features (patching files inside BNKs, running on a packed game, hot reloading, ...)
If you need further assistance, don't hesitate to read our documentation, post in the relevant forum thread, here on turboduck, or in #tdu-modding on https://discord.tduniverse.org

Good news! 
I've been thinking about this for a while, and i finally decided to do it so.  Everyone knows that Platinum 2.0 is under development, at a really not desired pace, but moving nonetheless, also, what not everyone knows is my progress schedule. I am working a dealer at a time, so i decided, why not release small updates once i finish these dealers? 
This way, you guys not only will be able to follow my progress closely, how will also be able to enjoy new things without massive waiting times. Although, not everything is good, and there are compromises.  One of them is, these updates are not cumulative and not single picked downloads, if you skip one, the next one might cause bugs and crash your game, so, download all of them and keep yourself up to date! 
I mean, if you haven't downloaded and installed update 01, the following update (02), won't work. You will need to download 01, and 02, install both. 
Another compromise, if you edit the database of the game, your personal changes will not be carried over.
 
Now, keeping that in mind, download it and have fun. 

-> How to install <-
Just replace the files in the according folders.  (v1.21 MUST be installed before this)

-> 01 - US Independents Update Content <- 
- Updated Shelby Series 1 with stripeless variation added as a tune
- Updated Saleen S7 Twin Turbo and Saleen S7 Twin Turbo Competition with fixed gauges and new tailight texture
- Updated SSC Ultimate Aero with fixed shadows, new tailight texture, paintable interior and GPS screen

Time to re-discover the island of Oahu.
Test Drive Unlimited Platinum pursue the objective to be more than a collection of many different mods in a pack, the objective is to deliver a whole new experience, a whole new way to play with endless possibilities to choose at your own demand, ready to go.
The work being done is beyond the gathering of different vehicles, sounds and gauges from different online websites and packing them together, it goes further to new physics, brand new weather, compatible with HDiR, new world textures and also new music for background and radio statios.

Test Drive Unlimited Platinum is a non-profitable project, made with the intention to enhance the gameplay of Test Drive Unlimited.
