Server works fine. Today was the first time I tried it and I got a stable connection to a maximum of 8 players. It felt good to be back online.
 
Many thanks to Comb@t_$hotgun for telling me that I can use my old profile to access HC mode. I found a save game backed up from 2012 before I changed my profile to offline and it worked perfectly. Lots of cars and half a million in the bank. Logging on was error free. I just started the game and re-initialized my gamespy details.
 
I like that we can do the singleplayer missions in HC mode. I attempted the millionaire's around the island race but the game locked up after 40 minutes dodging the cops. But that's wasn't anything to do with the server. Great fun. Going to play some more tomorrow.

Hello from Pogorobo,
Today I found this Platinum mod and managed to get it working on an existing profile.  I love it.  BIG THANKS to all the people that made it happen.  I never uninstalled TDU1 after more than ten years playing this wonderful game and now it's so much better.  Using the new mod has fixed a few things such as the wrong ride height / camera views on modded cars that I couldn't get right, and all of the town/place names that appear in white at the upper right corner no longer has broken/unreadable text.  I sold every car except the Alfa Romeo GT, which put over $6 million in the bank, so I've spent quite a few hours buying cars, tuning a few and I really enjoyed cruising around Oahu.  
I also fixed a Logitech G25 H-Shifter which had four out of six screws missing on the two metal plates either side of the shifting pole so it wasn't firmly held in place.  For months it has been dropping gears and registering the wrong gear.  Now I don't have to use sequential or automatic gears.  This makes a huge difference because in my opinion manually shifting gears in TDU1 is the only way to drive.
Does anyone know why moving the mouse to change the view around the car would stop working?  My game has been like this for a couple of years at least.  I can't re-install the game because my DVD finally stopped working after having a crack for years in the centre clear ring.  Now I can only use my existing installation which I backed up as an almost 8gb copy before installing the Platinum mod.

oh my lord I so want to cruise with the old school crew. I just had an email from Duke227 asking if someone has managed to get a server running. I would seriously love to go online and waste a whole day drifting better than Ken Block. A day? Jeez I spent five years of my life enjoying the company of my brethren. Some more please.

That's a brilliant idea.  The last time we played was on ‎22 ‎August ‎2009, ‏‎12:04:13 on a Saturday because I still have the screenshots
 too, woohoo!
I've still got the game installed and bumped into Rebuilda a couple of weeks ago.  I hope you guys are doing well and enjoying life.

Hi guys and gals. Re-install Direct X from within the game's support folder to enable force feedback support. It also activates the clutch and H-Shifter. Woohoo!

Hey there. Good cruise and a great way to start my career in The Crew since I downloaded it minutes before the cruise. And Doobrie, I can go one better with the no texture loading, ha ha. I was on a bridge when I took the first screenshot. It's happened quite a few times so I'm wondering if that's why the game is free, because there's something wrong with the code that causes this every now and again. I have to press R to reset the car which usually works, but I've also had the game hang at a black screen withe loading circle spinning around. The no texture crash happened twice on the 2 hour around the U.S. cruise which I've just done so I've played about 9 hours today and 9 hours yesterday. I'm knackered!

Funny, I also had a set of bookmarks for all the waterfalls, mountain tops, and islands. Never used it to avoid people though. (Isolate function worked for that).
 
Also made a set of bookmarks evenly spaced up along the eastern coast. We sometimes held Police chase events where one person had to race up the coast, and if we fell behind we could all warp ahead to form a roadblock.
