Our Gameserver has a lot of interesting features, but so far we never shared details about them, which is what I want to change with this blog post series. In this post, we'll talk about the "automatic Lobby Karma System": In modern internet forums (such as reddit), where you can up- and downvote content and if the votes are negative enough, the content disappears. The very same is happening to the lobbies in the TDUniverse Game Server. If a player can't connect to some lobby, it is "downvoted". And if it's below a certain threshold, the lobby is closed. When player A tries to connect to player B, we can't tell if it's just player A's faulty connection or if player B is a bad host. That's why both players get negative karma, but we have big enough thresholds to account for that. Also, players with too much negative karma won't be able to vote either (i.e. increasing or decreasing other people's karma). If you want to experiment with that system, feel free to have a drive on our game server, as well as using our discord bot's debug command (!lobby). If you just want to drive, however, don't worry, the system will ensure you have a smooth ride in the background. The bot is just for curious nerds. See you on the roads, MeFisto94

Hello everyone! It's been a while since we've openly shared anything about TDU World and an update was long overdue, luckily we have lots of good things to show! Over the past few months we have been working long and hard and have overcome quite a few of the biggest obstacles regarding online play. Some people might already know about some of the news since we teased it in our Discord (which you can join here if you haven't already!), but there is some more stuff to talk about... We won't keep you waiting any longer, lets get into it! TDU World got a fresh new logo! First of all, to go with the advancements of the project, we decided on a new and more distinctive logo. The old one was lacking some emotion and it was a bit boring, the new logo is set to change that! It also fits more into the TDU setting by displaying some palm trees. Here it is: *drum ruffle* We are currently updating all social channels to use the new logo, together with a full restyle of the launcher. Stay tuned! And now: The news you've been waiting for... Yup! you guessed it. After a long time of trial and error, we have gotten the first online interactions working! These include the following features: Player logins & lobbying Free roam, including: Car functionality (i.e. lights, horn, windows, exhaust sounds) Chat (including profanity filter) Co-op driving Instant Challenges (PvP Races) Voice chatting Vehicle Liveries (car colour, stickers, etc.) Dealerships & other player rooms (excluding houses) Both islands (Ibiza & O'ahu, Hawaii) Report/Banning system (All User Offenses) Traffic (AI) GPS player count Joining players via the Map All single player content like races and the timed events still works as normal Features currently in the works: Friends & Recent players list (works but not fully) Time & Weather (works but not fully) Further Lobbying, including but not limited to Races (Private and Matchmaking), Casino, etc. The biggest thing is of course the free roam functionality, which is working very well. Car syncing is great and smooth! We've been teasing this for an awful long time, so here's some content (proof if you will ) of the servers working. Some exciting progress as you can see! As much as the team is working hard, it isn't all perfect yet. On that bombshell... We need the community! We're inviting a handful of players to join us with testing the server stability and functionality as well as get a first peek into the TDU World Mod Pack! TDU World Closed Beta Testing In line with the progress we have been making recently, the time has come to recruit some beta testers to ensure everything so far is working correctly! Due to the complexity of the project and the sheer amount of feedback we will receive, the TDU World Community Server Beta will be limited to 20 people. We will be needing members of the community to test the new server, launcher and mod pack and relay data back to us when you find something funky, or plain broken. To participate, we require the following things: Active contribution Be online often during testing Networking Opening ports in your router Using WireShark to log the communication between your game and the server Test Drive Unlimited 2 A legitimate copy, either retail or Steam. Time to play through part of the game Testing the server stability and mod pack additions Testing car class balance English language Speaking and understanding is a must If you check all of these boxes, you can submit an application here (Click "Here") After we've chosen the 20 players out of all submission, we will be contacting them through Discord (be sure to allow personal messages during this time!). Please do not message any members of the team about the beta access or ask for any updates on the situation. We do not yet know when the beta testing will start. When we have selected a date, we will update everyone! TDU World now has a Patreon! We've been constantly asked by the community if we will be accepting donations from avid TDU fans who want to support us, and now we can finally say yes! We have chosen to go with Patreon as our platform to accept donations on. There will be three tiers you can sign up to, outlined below: Tier 1: £5.00 per month - Special "TDU World Fan" Discord title, bonus work-in-progress content Tier 2: £10.00 per month - Special "TDU World Super Fan" Discord title, bonus work-in-progress content, a TDU World sticker! Tier 3: £25.00 per month - Special "TDU World Ultra Fan" Discord title, bonus work-in-progress content, personalized Thank You Letter and a TDU World sticker & TDU World T-Shirt1! 1 - T-Shirts are only available for patrons who have subscribed for 3 consecutive months. The funds raised will mainly be going towards server hosting, because that isn't free unfortunately! They will also be going towards other project fees. We promise to maintain full transparency on the Patreon as to where they money is being used. For those wishing to support us via Patreon, please visit https://www.patreon.com/OfficialTDUWorld. This is the only official way of donating to the project! Remember: Supporting our project is optional! We will never, ever force players to support us, and playing on the servers/using the mod pack will always be free, forever. The TDU World Mod Pack We recently acquired some new members to start work on the TDU World Mod Pack. The goal with this mod pack is to make Test Drive Unlimited 2 feel like a modern game again. This means new music, new textures and perhaps most importantly: an updated car list. The pack will be split up into multiple parts: Cars, Environment, Sound and of course, a Full pack consisting of all parts. Below, we will go over these parts. Cars Considering how the world of automobiles has evolved since the creation of TDU2 and how many different vehicles have broken records and changed the rules, the car classes are getting fully rebalanced to be better suited for the new cars we are introducing. We did this not by nerfing (slowing down) the original cars, but by putting them against cars that really do match them in performance, whether they were cars from the original game or TDU World additions. For example: the Subaru Impreza is not going to make A6 look like a walk in the park any longer. Instead, it will face tougher competition! The cars we will be adding are not just a combination of existing mods, we are also creating new high quality mods ourselves to accompany them. The new mods we are creating mostly consist of recent and brand new models from countries like Britain, Italy and Germany. While the new mods we are creating will be of high quality, we will also be keeping low end systems in mind. Here is a little sneak peek on some of the vehicles that will be added! Environment For the games' graphics, we will be using a combination of existing mods to bring more life into the islands and make them look less dated. For now we have selected mods for roads, foliage and clouds. We will also be tweaking the in game settings to allow for higher quality shadows, and better draw distance for instance. The tweaks we will be doing here are not set in stone yet and requires more research to see the possibilities. Sound We will be replacing the radio stations to feature new songs, and if possible, we might even add new radio stations! Music for the map, start screen etc. will also be changed. Again, these packs are all optional. In the end, we want everyone to be running the same game, so everyone can enjoy the same cars and more importantly: have a balanced online racing experience! There will of course be people who prefer the stock experience and thus, we will not require use of the modpack. We will, however, be sure everyone runs the same balanced database so all cars will be in the correct classes. Looking for a sound designer! For the mod pack, we also want to overhaul some of the car sounds in the game. These are kind of lacking and remove some of the immersion while driving. The thing is, we currently do not have a member in our team who is able to create high quality sound mods for cars. Therefore, we give the community a chance to apply! Do you think you can create high quality sound mods for the cars in TDU2? We would like to get in touch! ----- We hope we supplied everyone with enough news! This was it for now, we hope to share more news soon, so stay tuned! Thanks to each and every one of you for supporting and following this amazing and huge project! Best regards, The TDU World Team

Hi everybody! I want meet anybody in TDU2 PS3 online. For cruises and driving around Islands.. If someone want to join me, write here or join friend on PSN. My PSN is DimamasLV. Thanks! :)

Enjoy the perks of rising through the ranks of your Los Santos and Blaine County business ventures with The BusinessUpdate, coming next week on Tuesday March 4th to PSN and Xbox Live. Thrill-seekers and weekend warriors can hop in any of three all-new, blazing fast sports cars: the Albany Alpha, Grotti Turismo R... or take to the skies in the new Vestra airplane. Swing by Ammu-Nation to pick up two new weapons, the Heavy Pistol and Special Carbine, which both offer some serious firepower. Dress for success with formal and business casual attire options like new suit jackets, slacks, glasses, heels and blouses, or don new all-business hairstyles and currency themed tattoos. There's also a collection of new masks, perfect for disguising yourself during the next hostile takeover. Just like the recent Valentine's Day Massacre Special, the new vehicles and weapons will be available in both Story Mode and Online. In Story Mode, weapons will be deposited into all three characters' inventory with two full ammo-clips and all three cars are accessible from their garage properties. In GTA Online, you'll be able to purchase the new weapons and their attachments at any Ammu-Nation location while the vehicles will be available for purchase from Legendary Motorsport and Elitas. Don't forget that this weekend is your last chance to grab the Albany Roosevelt limousine, the Gusenberg Sweeper machine gun and all the rest of the exclusive items from the Valentine's Day Massacre Special before they're gone. Once you purchase them in-game, they're yours to keep - but they will no longer be available to purchase after midnight PST this Sunday, March 2nd. And stay tuned for details about our upcoming Business Update Event Weekend as well as more info to be revealed on future updates including Online Heists, the Capture Creator update, new Assassination and Flight School missions for Story Mode and much more... Thanks - GTA Online: The Business Update Coming Next Week, Tuesday March 4th | Rockstar Games

Hello boys, I played TDU2 on my old (crappy) PC for a short time in 2012. I used the online-nickname "JAG". Some months ago I created a new offline-profile called "JAG" again. I did nearly any race, but now I would like to change it to online mode. A guide in your forum tells me I have to create an online-profile with exactly the same name - which I, of course, cannot. Is there any way to do it? Thankyou for your help! Kindest Regards X8X8X

If you've got an older PC game that still works online, and you reckon a bunch of us will also have it (check this thread), then post a request here for us to join you. Give a few days notice so that we have time to reinstall it and configure controls, settings, etc if needed. I'll keep an active list here in the OP... Andreaz wants to play Flatout Ultimate Carnage Ryzza5 wants to play DiRT2

I've got a question, I couldn't get much info on it. Is it possible to play online with TDUPE 2.5 with Project Paradise? The only car I've adjusted is the Viper, just for drifting and sliding a bit better, I only increased the amount of horsepower and the amount of torque. Is it possible, or is it still for offline use only? Thanx in advance.

The Valentine’s Day Massacre Special, the latest free update to GTA Online that’s coming this Friday features a variety of fun Valentine's themed extras for Story Mode and GTA Online. NEW WEAPON: GUSENBERG SWEEPER Nothing says “I love you” quite like the warm wooden grip and cold steel barrel of a Gusenberg Sweeper machine gun. Get it from any Ammu-Nation location in GTA Online (in Story Mode, the Sweeper is automatically deposited into each character's weapon inventory with two full clips and additional ammo can be purchased at Ammu-Nation). NEW VEHICLE: ALBANY ROOSEVELT Paint the town red in the classically-inspired Albany Roosevelt. This armored 1920s limousine is perfect for gangsters and their molls. To properly run amok with the new Roosevelt, get in the driver’s seat and let your friends or Crewmates hang off the side, firing and taking out your rivals as you pass them by. The Roosevelt can be accessed from any garage property in Story Mode and is available in GTA Online from the legendarymotorsport.net in-game website. NEW ATTIRE Dress to the nines in a host of new double breasted suits and 1920s flapper dresses, or bare it all in sexy undergarments while going incognito with a selection of new masquerade masks. There are also new novelty t-shirts, hats and more available in stores throughout Los Santos, plus a new Flapper Bob hairstyle exclusively for the ladies. 10 NEW JOBS The Valentine’s Day Massacre also includes 10 new Jobs scattered like the remnants of a broken heart throughout the world of GTA Online, including Deathmatches, a new Parachute Jump and new land, sea and cycling Races. Everything in the Valentine’s Day Massacre Special will be available for a limited time starting this Friday, but once acquired you will be able to keep them in your inventory for good. We will also have more information soon for other forthcoming GTA Online content updates including the Dangerous Business Pack, Online Heists, an expansion to the Creator tool and lots more. Thanks - http://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/52186/Coming-this-Friday-The-GTA-Online-Valentine-s-Day-Massacr

------------------------------------------- WR2 Multiplayer Tutorial World Racing 2 is playable online, even if Official Servers are shutted down. So, what you mainly need to play it online? 1) Tunngle: http://www.tunngle.net/ 2) Stock "MP Lounge 2" game application Download Tunngle from the official site, make sure it's the last updated version. Then, make an account (it's free). When you have created your own account, on Tunngle, search for a room, in the left corner. Search for "World Racing 2", then join in. After you joined the room, make sure your friends who are going to play with you are inside your same room (remember, maximum 6 players are able to play together). Then, open MP Lounge 2, and start a LAN game. You can play in every room, not forced to use the World Racing 2 room, so if the WR2 room is full you can still play in every other room, for example... "ArmA 2" room :D you can still be able to play online, the important thing is that players have to stay in the same room. Enjoy! Tried this method with 8 different players, and worked with 8 of them, so maybe the only problem you can encunter are open/closed ports. I want to thank my dear friend "BiggBoss93" who told me about Tunngle, and tried with me to play WR2 online! ------------------------------------------- FAQs/Troubleshooting written by "FreddyDaimler" - I can’t see a hosted game in the MP Lounge 2 Windows Firewall should allow both the MP Lounge and tunngle access in private and public networks. Also antivirus software must be disabled completely (game-mode might still block connections). If this still doesn’t work try to run MP Lounge 2 in compatibility modes. - I have all the addon cars but can’t join the game You probably have modified your addon cars or have a different version of it. Download the newest one and reinstall it. Keep in mind all players need to use the same version of a car for Online use. - I see a different track than the other players Open the WR2 Manager and select the addon tracks you want to be driving on only or it will cause a mismatch. All players should have activated the exact same tracks and sceneries. ------------------------------------------- Now you know how to play WR2 Online Have fun! :btup Cheers, A.G.

As usually im starting TDU2 game as many times ago. I see servers are online for PC. it also appears on the launcher screen. But it hangs on image (video) right before entering into the game. Nor offline or onlien profile enter game. when entered credentials no error message, but "No network connection. switching to offline profile!" firewall is off internet works NAT: Moderate:portRestrictedCone but i guess i was able to enter game even in full restricted etc. BUT NOT NOW... any temporary tdu issue?

Hi there. I installed TDU2 just few hours ago. Of course i choosed online profile. And, when i see the "Click ENTER to continue", below displaying text, that i must configure my network. In UpLauncher displaying ''Game servers available''. In game too. But i doesn't see players. What should i do? Sorry if my english is bad.

Hi guys ;) Today I must ask you something. I know, Eden Games are down and additionally I read on other site, that now we can't download DLC2 as a patch - around the cars it said "no offer". It's really truth? Explo and DLC2 are fre DLCs, but 'cause Eden are "dead" it's no chance to enjoy DLC2 cars and bikes? Why am I asking? Because I prepare myself to buy another one copy of the game, but for online gaming only I don't know if I want it... ;) Greetings, MRO'

Hello! First post here, i have lurked for awhile here. Anyway, here's a few questions. 1. Is there a way to get offline DLC while paying for them properly? OR 2. Is there a way to convert from offline to online with a different nickname (because "Bryan" is taken) to get the DLC? 3. Trying to convert from offline to online (have to change name), or changing my save name would corrupt my game. Some Google results: Steam Users' Forum Cheat Happens Help would be much appreciated.

Source Anyone else excited for this?! :msuh3: Too bad I'll have nobody to play with as most of you guys seem to be getting it for PS3 :( STILL EXCITED!!! :yay:
