View File TDU World: Test Drive Unlimited 2 Multiplayer Mod TDU World is finally here! On the 10th anniversary of Test Drive Unlimited 2, we are releasing the first version of our multiplayer mod. In the future, we will expand on the features of our mod. But for now, the gamemode most valuable to players - freeroam - is fully working after extensive testing by our beta tester team. ------ How to install (V1.01): Important!: TDU World DOES NOT support unpacked or otherwise cracked or modified editions of Test Drive Unlimited 2! Unfortunately for now this does mean that players cannot use any mod packs or custom mods, however Unofficial Patch is supported and can be downloaded here Step 1: Installing TDU2 Perform a clean, standard install of Test Drive Unlimited 2 either from Steam or DVD/Digital Download You must use a completely clean download if you do not have the Steam or DVD Edition. Repacked/Cracked editions are NOT supported! Step 2: Preparing TDU2 Before you install TDU World, please run the game at least once to ensure that the game works and is registered correctly. Make sure you have a text file named "key" in the game directory. Without this, you will not be able to access TDU World! If the key.txt file does not exist in your directory, create the text file yourself and paste your CD key inside. Note: The CD Key is NOT your Steam Key! Steam will give you a separate CD Key. Right click the game in your Library, select Manage, then CD Keys. Step 3: Installing TDU World Go to TDUWorld.com & register an account by clicking the orange "Sign Up" button and activating your account. You must use a legitimate E-mail address! Unactivated accounts are not allowed online. Once you've registered and activated your TDU World Account, click the Download button on this page to download TDU World. Run the installer. When the Installer asks you to select the folder, select the "Test Drive Unlimited 2" folder your game is installed in. Optional: Tick the Shortcut box to put a cool TDU World Shortcut on your Desktop to easily play TDU World. The installer will then ask you if your game is up to date: If you know your game has DLC2 V034 installed, click "Yes". If your game is installed via the original DVD or Steam installation, press "No" and the installer will download the latest Official Patches for the game! (Note: Russian Versions of the game are currently not supported by TDU World's Updater, sorry!) The Installer will then ask you if you wish to proceed installing TDU World. Press "Yes" to proceed. Once the installer is finished, remove any existing save files in "Documents\Eden Games\Test Drive Unlimited 2" Open the game and register a new account using your TDU World credentials. (Nickname = Profile Name, TDU World Account = TDU World Username, Password = TDU World Account Password) Congratulations, you can now play online! Have fun!

I am trying to launch my game from the TDU World Launcher and I always get this error, I did everything from turning my antivirus off, to checking the quarantine section if the shortcut is there, I named the launcher UpLauncher in the files, everything. It still doesn't work. Why?

Basically whenever i load into a dealership ind TDU2 while in Hawaii the game immediately crashes and the only way to fix it is deleting the DVXK map fix. help?

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!

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
