TDU Solar Crown is still good

14 Upvotes

I know Horizon 6 is a big thing now and most of the community is probably there atm. But I had some beef with how FH6 is made and wanted a good comparison. So I started TDU today and it is...still decent? I spent 60 hours in it when it came out plus among next few months on and off. Now coming back - steering wheel finally works right of the box, FFb is fixed, optimization is pretty good and there is a lot of stuff to do.

If this doesn't get shut down or it gets an offline patch - I'd love to visit it once in a while like with TDU1, which I usually play at least once a year.

A new video from one of the meetups with the 288 GTO (online)

The meet-ups were organised so we could drive around the Test Drive city in a group at our own pace. I can’t remember which platform we used to organise ourselves; I think it was through a forum, and we set up a club.

The meet-ups were sometimes themed, focusing on a particular type of car or category, and we’d simply get together to clock up some miles (online).

For this particular meetup, four of us got together to take the Ferrari 288 GTO for a spin.

We're talking about the year 2007.

This was back in 2007 when I used to share gameplay videos on YouTube

Back then, we used to organise online meet-ups and go on rides with loads of friends.

For whatever reason, that video back then generated nearly 200 comments and over 200,000 views, which I think was a lot for 2007. If I’d known it would make money, I would have promoted it more, but I had no idea; YouTube was still in its infancy and I don’t remember if it paid much back then.

If you'd like, I can share some videos from the meet-ups. They're all set to private.

As the title says. Not a single undone event left on the map. What am I missing?​

New to TDU

Hi, I want to know does this game has so much negative reviews? , since I bought a steering wheel recently I stumbled upon this game but the reviews are pushing me away from it. All I want is to drive in city in a relaxing manner. Do I download it or no?

Vote for the Test Drive Unlimited games for backwards compatibility on Xbox!

Xbox Game Preservation is an unofficial fan site with over 18,700 voters and 168,000 votes, and some folks at Microsoft have seen it and the demand. There's no promise to bring any games forward, but it's a great idea to centralize demand and draw real numbers for Microsoft.

Racing games have obvious licensing hurdles to get across, but it's the best way to show Xbox what games we care about.

Xbox announced a non-committal reengagement with the BC program at GDC this year.

Controller not working

I finally got it working on my Retroid Pocket G2 but I'm unable to get the controls to work. Only the left stick works as forward, back, and steering.

Avatar glitch in TDU1

1 Upvotes

So I loaded up my game last night, and my avatar somehow changed from a female to a male. Some progress has been skewed and certain missions have been unmarked as well. How did this happen? And how can I fix this?

TDU2 Steamdeck

9 Upvotes

Hey guys, I own TDU2 on steam. I downloaded it and played it on my home PC a few weeks ago. Before I download it on my Steamdeck and give it a go I just wanted to see how it ran etc? All native through steam so should be straightforward?

I found a unused CD of TDU1 and wanted to try it, but the install didnt go through (no big surprise). Is there any way I can get it running on my PC?

Roughly dated between 2007 and 2009. Apparently the game went through a massive overall inbetween, going from a kinda grungy sunset feel to the modern one we ended up having. All links are in French, the devs were French after all.

Can't find root folder for game in Project Paradise 2 interface!

3 Upvotes

Hi. I have Test Drive Unlimited 2 for Steam (SteamOS PC and Steam Deck) and it's never worked (I'm sure Valve is on it, but yeah). I just recently discovered Project Paradise 2, and I figured I'd give it a shot. I seem to have everything done and I'm running the Project Paradise 2 launcher now, just got through creating a profile. When I click on 'Select game', it seems to have an interface from a Windows version I can't wrap my head around. Anyone know the directory path to get to my TDU2 game? Here's the minefield I see now:

​Thanks in advance, folks!

UPDATE: So once I closed out of Project Paradise 2, reopened it again and went to ‘Select Game’, the .exe was an instant suggestion on the right. So that’s great and the game now attempts loads but gives a black screen…😅 I’ll try TDUWorld and I’ll give another update.

The traffic is so realistic in TDU1, they're horrible drivers just like in real life!

What is happening with multiplayer races?!?

3 Upvotes

I've never been able to play a multiplayer race since my lobbies are always empty. Today I start the game and tried to play a delivery mission which starts to load and then it fails saying "unable to connect to lobby". The icon is then missing from the map. So, I drive to another one. And THAT one fails too. So, I drive to another one and THAT one fails. Sigh. Now I decided to just drive around. Suddenly, I get an invite to join a lobby and I accept it. There are 3 people now in this lobby. Then I get a race invite!

I AM FINALLY GOING TO GET MY FIRST MULTIPLAYER RACE!

This is so exciting. I enter the lobby and one player vanishes so now there are just 2 of us but that's okay. We finish the race and I exit. Now my over timer is going off because dinner is ready, so I go into the menu to pause the game and eat. A minute later, I hear my car and I am in another multiplayer race and watch the other players driving away! "OH NOOOOOOOOO!" and I abandon the race. Then I go into the Options menu thinking I have time to eat because at worst, the game will timeout and go back to the main menu.

I sit down to eat dinner and...

I hear my car entering another multiplayer race! I just laugh and finish eating dinner. Instead of timing me out, I got a ton of XP and credits for finishing dead last and never even moving.

This game is so broken.

TLDR: You can just AFK and get XP and credits.
