Hello all,

Very confused and frustrated right now. Tried changing a vehicle slot (488 pista in the Ferrar/Maserati dealer) to contain a different 488 pista variant. As soon as I hit save, the dealership somehow disappeared from both the TDUF Dealers and Shops slots, and in the game (no icon on map or way to enter the dealer). Is there some sort of way I can restore a save state on TDUf, or find a backup of the dealership files? FWIW I have messed with the same slot before with no issues.

Just restore database from a clean TDU install or Platinum if youre using it. And .. dont you have any database backup already ? 

Database file: euro/bnk/database/db.bnk

Game install directory is not set up properly. Do not use Magic Map as it would invalidate some added files in the worst case.

You can check/fix install directory in the file located at c:/user/xxxx/.tduf/tduf.properties

what...? Isn't Platinum and 2.00A incompatible? and still, game just hangs when trying to connect to servers, and when not they just show as "down" for me.

Platinum has been built over the good old 1.68b unofficial version. Not the 2.00A. pretty sure that most of the 2.00A features would have been made useless by platinum as it replaces the whole game database anyway.

not everyone has the money for a wheel and the use cases are rare as hell, not everyone is a racing junkie, i have a fair bit of racing games but a controller is enough for 90% of them, and TDU should be in the 90%

So, I don't know ... play the other games or just stick to TDU with the clunky support. So clunky that people have been enjoying TDU with gamepad for 15 years.

Not judging financial resources for people, and not being condescending unlike you, I'm just giving advices. So take them or ignore them.

I want to play Test Drive Unlimited Platinum together with my friends but my account is offline (but theirs are online) and i found my port. What should I do so we can play together?

P.S. I did try to convert by profile to an online one, but failed. 

Create new online profile. Offline to online conversion is not available in any tool.

Hey guy, first of all I want to say this is an exquisite mod technically, a true marvel and how you were all able to fit so much content into a game that doesn't have the same modding community as something like a Nintendo game.

But my main concern is: Is there a way to remove specific cars from it? I tried looking up into the modding tools application that came packed in but it only lets me edit values and information, it doesn't actually let me remove a car, is there another tool in the pack that is able to do that? Or do I just have to prune the specific folders from the game files themselves? Thanks and have a great day/evening.

Just wondering why you'd need to remove some cars. Although that is technically possible, it's a complicated task which demands to remove any reference to the said cars in every part of the database... or prepare to apocalypse 

Just replacing car files and editing vehicle specs is a safer way to get different vehicles.

And about other parts of the database, only the mod pack creator has the full knowledge of all references. Tools haven't been made for this kind of tasks. I mean, the tools source code is available, but someone knowing how to code has to lean 'a bit' towards it before handling such edge cases.

Pp has no development activity for ages. Just be happy this beta is still fueling the free ride up 

Platinum includes paradise anyway. But you may just use Paradise to see if the 'vsync' launcher setting works for you.

Nope, 1.68b and 2.00 won't bring anything to this matter. Project paradise does and enables online mode. I guess you're using a wrong no cd crack btw. Use the same as TDU Platinum's if you wanna keep a genuine experience.

One would be better rewrite PC clubs from almost scratch, imo. A GameSpy emulator is required btw, since service is gone.

Hi, make sure the game is running with dedicated graphics instead of integrated intel/AMD chip first. Did you try to force vsync in project paradise launcher? and in intel/AMD control panel?

Some people have been reporting the dgvoodoo2 wrapper does solve map crash issues as well, but settings have to be tweaked to eliminate artifacts.

I think you've not clicked the right link, I've reuploaded all mods from a same article and in sharemods. Link is working.  Again check post just before yours...

Please read posts just above yours...

Support is not clunky imo, it might be basic but it works actually. Anyway it's tied to game engine so I seriously doubt anyone would work on it. 

Moreover there are much more interesting things to mod on in TDU, so trying to get better gamepad support would not be a priority.

If you wanna enjoy the game a little bit more, you should buy a used wheel as G25/G27.

Hello guys, I'm new here.

Some years ago I tried Gold Edition, and I liked the whole ecosystem of the game. I wish to get back into it, but I don't have a wheel nor I don't like to hangout with keyboard.

So, I wondered why PC version doesn't have XInput (I own a wired 360 controller)? I mean, there's a 360 version of TDU. Is that pretty hard to even create a tweak to port that whole support to the PC version, so I couldn't see anyone for years?

I think I'll have to choose TDU2 instead. Out of it, you made a pretty nice work with Platinum.

What?

Xbox pads are well supported in TDU1 on PC. Check your Windows install and updates, because something is not properly configured I guess...

There's a claim of over 880 vehicles added, and I get that the list provided in the post stipulates 470 cars are hidden from the list, but from what I understand the hidden vehicles is referring to the special tuning options available. So technically, it's kind of a bs thing to say 880 cars when that's not actually the case. It builds up a false anticipation and personally a big middle finger to the players imo. 

Most Troll-esque post of 2022, thanks for the laugh. Have fun!

I know that but I don't have a serial code, the game never come with one or at least i don't think it did when I bought it back when you could still buy it on steam

Afaik you can display the game key in steam game properties, can't you?

Im new here, thanks all the people involved in this game, the truly king of free roam racing for me, since 2006 it has been and now even more

I have a this problem I hope someone can share me some light because I don't have any idea and I ve like reinstalled the game and Platinum mod like 7 times by now, the thing is

I'm gonna try to be very detailed with my situation to see if can be helped

I was playing this like for years, installed several times trough time never  have a single problem, then I tried this new other massive mod, didnt worked propperly, cars invisible, soo i went back to platinum, I didnt make a backup because I never got a problem instaling from zero, ok I Install base game, then add platinum, everything ok till I create the online profile, I create it, game starts to load from start again and freezes with the quote "connecting to test drive servers"... The thing is if I make and offline profile, the game works perfectly, only the online profile it's the problem, kind of thought could be my internet but I was playing like yesterday without any problem, thought could be the firewall, but first I give permission when it's asked, then I tried put TDU manually on the list of firewall... I installed the base game from 3 different resources, every time deleting it from the firewall (even disable the firewall) and I don't know what it could be... I'm thinking maybe installing windows again will do the trick but I rather do it as last resources... Please if someone knows what the problem is or anything possible that could help I would be infetively gratefull

Ialready saw a few people have the same issue before here but there wasnt any response, like in page 30 or something like that... 

also to point that the game freezes there and there is no response, dosnt crash and close, just stay freeze there saying "trying to connect test drive servers" and I need to open the task admin to close it... 

TDU (project paradise) may require you to connect via VPN for online profile creation. Depending on your location. Not needed afterwards.

Salut, a mon avis tu auras des réponses ici si tu t'adresses en anglais, il y a peu de français sur tduck 

Sinon pour le support de tdu World il y a le discord officiel (en anglais aussi):

https://discord.gg/C7HWaMAu6e

Et non ce n'est pas une fumisterie. Ça fonctionne en ligne même s'il n'y a pas grand monde de connecté...

Sorry I've no clue. My last guess was you're using TDU Gold which is different from original dvd and was likely to cause issues. 

You may otherwise try with the command line tools to unpack database manually.

According to logs the issue appears after unpacking database, e.g if you check file at location: C:\Users\LANETB~1\AppData\Local\Temp\libUnlimited-databaseBank5836824573108046309

It should exist with other files related to database.

So something in your game edition makes the tool unable to read the unpacked files. Don't you have a TDU gold by any chance?

That is not related to windows 10 for sure, and my database is the exact copy of the one provided by TDU platinum. So you can get it from the latest update.

Best thing is definitely to enable debug logs in TDUF to know what's going on.

Ps: d3d9.dll file is not meant to be in this folder 

That's an unknown issue, never happened before I guess. If there were errors, the DatabaseEditor logs would contain them... 

To see more logs, that may help: https://github.com/djey47/tduf/wiki/Settings#debugging

Something makes your database uncompatible with TDUF and it's hard to tell without any information. 

Otherwise with using TDUF in command line mode and try extracting database manually: https://github.com/djey47/tduf/wiki/Banks-CLI

TDUF FULL package is required to run as command line (from cmd.exe).

Hi,

have you tried opening database with TDU Modding Tools? TDUF uses same 'engine' to unpack BNK files.

Still broken with RTX then? Great.

Depend on which RTX model... Workarounds and fixes do exist for most 30x0. Otherwise stick to old gens for old games ?
