Hello, I got TDU1 working nicely on Win11 - did several races, only a couple nuisances: Force feedback does not work at all with Thrustmaster steering wheel. I tried installing G27 fix - no difference. At first I had difficulty setting up steering axis, but right now everything is mapped and working fine (after adjusting all sensitivities to the max) Quite sure the game does not recognize the steering wheel model, but don't remember if it should? No Radio. Does not work. and there is no music in the game at any point. (I can live with this) Game crashes if I plug in my USB handbrake - driver-less game controller device. (I can live without it as well) Thrustmaster H-shifter does work nicely. Currently as a standalone USB device, but connecting it through the wheel base did not help with USB Handbrake crash. I installed game from my licensed CD copy purchased around 2008 - I used to play this game A LOT back utill TDU2 came out. But did not have steering wheel back then. Any advice appreciated.

I can report that TDU1 Platinum now works fine on Windows 11 as long as I use "TestDriveUnlimited.exe" to launch the game, after I did this fix for the "self-Alt-Tabbing" problem: Opened Windows 11 System ==> Sound settings Selected unused audio playback devices (Realtek Digital output) and chose "Don't Allow" to use this device for audio. Now I can actually run TDU1 in fullscreen (Borderless Windowed mode still crashes).

The description is crazy, but he is 100% right - I was constantly being thrown out of fullscreen on launch which also breaks the rendering and makes the game unusable until I: Opened Windows 11 System ==> Sound settings Selected unused audio playback devices (Realtek Digital output) and chose "Don't Allow" to use this device for audio. Now I can actually run TDU1 in fullscreen and got the game working without Windowed mode which so far did not work so well This should be added to FAQ on how to get TDU1 running on modern PCs.

Same here. Windows 11, AMD Raden 6600, AMD R5 3600 - TDU crashes when opening. The strange thing is - I installed the game yesterday and it opened so that I entered my CD Key and created a new online profile. Now today I connected my steering wheel but the game never opened. Most of the time it showd the loading screen, animated to version info 0.03A and then closes. Now If I use Launcher - it just crashes without showing anything, while if I use TestDriveUnlimited.exe it does show the loading screen up to version info 0.03A and then closes. EXCEPT now I suddenly got the TestDriveUnlimited.exe to open in fullscreen, while through the launcher it still crashes! I have no idea why and what is happening. Should I go try with steering wheel again just to not be able to open the game the next day? Any advice with similar crashes welcome. Now went to my steering wheel rig (Thrustmaster TX + USB H-shifter + USB handbrake) with a different screen (Freesync, 34" ultrawidescreen) and again the same crash in TestDriveUnlimited.exe - it does show the loading screen up to version info 0.03A and then closes. OK, toggling Freesync OFF made no difference. Running with Desktop resolution at 1920x1080 like on the screen where it worked also did not help now I can get the same result with Platinum launcher or TestDriveUnlimited.exe if I run them in FULLSCREEN - it does show the loading screen up to version info 0.03A and then closes. If I launc in Windowed mode - I see nothing but black screen before a crash (even though originally I entered CD-key and created profile all in Windowed mode.) Still can not play on my steering-wheel screen. Maybe game crashes because of too many controllers? Or audio devices? Next update: disconnection the Handbrake USB device the game does not crash as before, now it "self-Alt-Tabs" and gets stuck with black screen as is typically the problem when running fulscreen and alt-tabbing. Then with a number of tricks I can get mouse and Task manager back to kill TDU to exit. Of course It still crashes directly if I try to run in a Window - so no luck staying in Fullscreen and crash in Windowed mode now with "D:\Games\Test Drive Unlimited\TestDriveUnlimited.exe" -w comman line option I can actaully start the game... and stay in it. It is stuck in 1270x800 resolution and I can't get my Thrustmaster steering wheel to map right turn direction, but I guess progress???
