Germany has released it two days ago. And it works with daemon tools 4.08 HE, newest sptd driver 1.42 and Yasu 1.07.

But it is a heck of performance eating bitch. I think the game engine was never optimized.

Agreed.I've tested the little bugger on two systems: one P4(X64) at 3.2ghz, with 1gb RAM(800mhz bus) and geforce 7600(terrible performance) and one P4 at 3ghz(dualcore), 2gb RAM, 8800GTX(good performance).On both PC the OS was WinXP.
It's another unfinished, unpolished product.Not much of a difference between this and the beta version.

I have heard from mates who have this & arent very pleased that its 1 of those games that if done properly would of been a master-piece of gaming...but alass its a proper pile of shite according to everyone i know has it...

Done properly, this game would have taken the crown from NFS Carbon. In the actual state it's just a game that you should skip. Maybe after a couple of patches it would be okay, but I do believe it's criminal to force your customers to make the beta test for you. Because I've had the beta version in my hands a while ago, and this ain't far at all.
Also I've seen problems on some TFT displays. What the hell is wrong with the companies in our days?

Here's a question I hope one of ya can help me with. The following is copied from TDU forums, where I have yet to recieve any help on the matter.

"I had to do some maintenance on my main computer the other day so I installed TDU on a second computer to play while my main was down.. now I have a buddy who is staying with me and he has his own copy and would like to play on a new account on one of the computers so I'm trying to figure out how to put his key code in the game. I've already tried uninstalling, removing any traces of TDU from registry I could find and then reinstalling the game but it never comes up asking for a key code."

Would anyone know where this game stores the installed key code on my computer? or a way to force it to ask for a new code? (I'm not asking for a code, just where it's stored on computer after install)

Nevermind I found it myself.. C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Test Drive Unlimited
in a .txt file labeled CDKEY

Test Drive Unlimited is a very buggy game. I got BSOD with this game. I regret buying it. Now that Silverfall is released I would like to have bought it instead of Test Drive Unlimited. I also saw in nforce.nl that there it is crack by VITALITY : Silverfall-VITALITY

In my opinion Test Drive Unlimited should be considered as an early beta and not final. Friends do not buy this game. Atari destroyed an excellent game and released it earlier than it should.

wolfsrain

Outrageous system requirements, poor optimization and loads of bugs. Atari continues the trend set by the last releases from Ubisoft and a few other big companies. Of course guilty of the game problems are: the pirates and the users. The users because they don't upgrade their hardware at every six months and they are reluctant to do the beta test for the big companies.
This game would have been better with a later release, than being released in the poor state that is now. I'm looking in parallel at a very nice release: Jade Empire and i discover that there are very few bugs, a good optimization and not so outrageous system requirements(Geforce6600 or Ati X800 are, by now, the standard).
You can't sell on a market that you disrespect constantly, you can't impose a change by putting high end system requirements.
Compared with NFS Carbon, this game could've been a lot better.Maybe even stole the crown from EA. And it fails miserably, because they tried to respect the deadline imposed by the publisher.
Yeah, I agree another game destroyed by ATARI.

I dont know what everyone is talking about by the game not working.. the only thing i see wrong with it is that it autoruns when inserted into dvd-rom tray even if you dont want it too. other than that the game runs smooth and great fps, no lag and gfx are set to max. i'm usuing MS Steering wheel and it works great too. the thing i find dumb about the game though would be most of the lame missions, that basicaly repeat them self's with just a slight variation... i found the car delivery missions to be the good ones, as with the parcel delivery.
and why are there no Honda or Acura or even Subaru... these are some of the finnest car companies arround, a hell of allot better than a Ford or Chevy shit!

well anyways just wanted to let yous know i dont have any probs what so ever, and i been playing now for about a week, and i even had the game running for 13hours strait and still ran smooth after 13 hours of continues play.

Atari did a swell job on this release a lot better that the previus TD releases, wich i thought were all lame and crappy, with no real car physics. though this one is a little off as well... it is close and makes for some fun driving.

drifting is only done if you take off the driving aid, and what a joy with all the winding roads.. :D

OHH yah! the reason i came here was to ask where the NO CD file is? i got the one from the site but it's not a no cd file its a 3.2 gig mini image that still needs to be mounted... i allready created a dvd image, i dont need the mini image to just save 500MB i wanna save 3gig's of HDD space.
a nice little no cd .exe file would be nice. :D

Was on the phone to a friend of mine tonight who say he has the exact same problem as the original poster, so I popped on here to try and help, told him to uninstall Blindwrite, but he's never heard of it, so I'd imagine him not to have it installed.

Not sure if this is relevant, but he tried downloading some sort of Maxi-Image, but when attempting to mount in Daemon Tools got a message (I forget exactly what it was), something about being unable to mount the image as the file was not accessible?

Dopefish
12-03-2007, 05:00
I made an image of the DVD with Alcohol 120% (v1.9.5.2802) with DPM set to "High" and with read speed "1x", mounted with Daemon Tools (v4.08HE/SPTD v1.39), virtual drives hidden with Y.A.S.U. (v1.07) and it's running without a flaw.

If you get an error message that you have to "put the original disc in the drive instead of a backup" then you're image isn't correct, i.e. DPM information is either missing or not properly. Create a new one with Alcohol 120% or CloneDVD or try the one from GameCopyWorld. Some people were reporting that you have to install the newest SPTD driver which is not yet included in Daemon Tools. From my experience it's not recommended as it's most likely not working with TDU.

In case you get the error message that there is "a problem with emulation software" then again there's something wrong with your image or try uninstalling all programs (except Daemon Tools of course) that create a virtual CD/DVD drive, for example Alcohol 120% or Virtual CD. In most cases the problem can be easily solved by uninstalling Blindwrite which is blacklisted by the newest SecuROM version. Test Drive Unlimited then should work with a backup image.

Like it was stated before: use your ORIGINAL[B] CD-key. For online playing, you can only play with your [B]ORIGINAL disk. You can try whatever you want, your game won't work online if you didn't bought the game from store, as you need an original CD-key for online playing. If your CD-key it's not working, you can complain to the store from where you bought the game or e-mail Atari support and ask for a replacement key. You will have to offer proof that you bought the game legit, so I hope you kept the receipt. Otherwise you will have to buy another copy.

I didn't find info if any keygen was released. And

Anyway as I said i an earlier post, I bought this game and it doesn't worth it. A very buggy game. I got BSODs :mad: , and there are other bugs within game while playing (single player).

Buy Silverfall or better Jade Empire.

I can higly recommend Jade Empire, as I own it. Jade Empire is like a drug, I was addicted so much that I finished it within 2-3 days. If you have installation problems, skip autorun and run setup.exe from dvd.
If you want to run it under Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003, just place to \Games\Jade Empire\ folder the file: http://rapidshare.com/files/21177106/xinput9_1_0.dll.html

Ok it took me maybe 5 days, but I played the whole weekend, 24h per day. It was the first time I played a game like this.

wolfsrain
15-03-2007, 11:01
You can finish it in a week. That if you make the sidequests. i preordered the game, so i had quite a nice chat with the people from ebgames who sent me Jade Empire later than the launch and with no preorder bonus. Well, it's a first for everything. In the end they sent me the preoreder bonus disk, but still...
sorry for being incoherent, but I'm after a bit of clubbing.
Test Drive Unlimited works fine for me online, but of course, I do own the original. Not worth the mone though.
Silverfall is poorly optimised. So i'd choose Jade Empire anytime. I'm doing reviews for a frined who's working at a game magazine in my country(pretty popular I' d add) . As payment I can choose a few games from the ones that i made the reviews. I'd say it's a win-win situation, 'cause I like gaming. And Silverfall demands a high-end rig with at least 2gb of RAM and a powerful videocard. So stick to Jade Empire(it's Bioware, and it's pretty much RPG oriented, though is labeled action/RPG).

I am using the No-DVD-Fix by Vitality. The trick is to DISABLE all Human Interface Devices (HID) in your Windows Device Manager. If I say ALL I mean ALL besides the mouse of course ;) .
Normally my device manager looks like this:
http://img253.imageshack.us/img253/9811/tdudevicemanagercj0.th.png (http://img253.imageshack.us/my.php?image=tdudevicemanagercj0.png)
When you use the Vitality-No-DVD-Fix the game then crashes like this:
http://img160.imageshack.us/img160/4131/tducrashhq1.th.png (http://img160.imageshack.us/my.php?image=tducrashhq1.png)
I then simply disabled all HIDs in my device manager besides my Logitech MX518 mouse, see screenshot here:

Now the Vitality-No-DVD-Fix works fine with the game. No need for other fixes.

Well, thank's for info. Now reactivate your HID game devices, remove this bad crack, THAT SUCK ALL RESSOURCES FROM COMPUTER, mount maxi image with YASU and deamon tool's and you can play without any disabled game controller, it's hilarious to play this game with keyboard lol.

AMD 64 3000+ GeForce 6600 GT 2 gig's ram, work fine without one or other crack but with crack is slow and buggy.;)

IrenePappel
30-03-2007, 10:17
I do not like mini images, virtual drives etc. and of course maxi images even less. A simple small nodvd crack is much more elegant. Mounting an image is a workaround from my point of view. Let's do not discuss the pros and cons of mini images here but stick to the problem, ok?

As far as I know the HID problem is a game problem. Many people have BSODs or other phenomena with this buggy game. I don't think the HID issue is related to the Vitality-No-DVD-Fix.

And it is possible to use the keyboard, mouse etc. in the game. All I had to disable in the Device Manager were other old legacy devices like the Microsoft SideWinder GameVoice which is not really supported by Windows XP or Vista anyway.

I run the game with wingman joystic or gamepad all two works fine, only thing, don't use Analog throttle and brakes, use a buton for this two fonctions so you win many FPS. Go to game option and parametres the game controller, if you don't found any gamecontroller in game option, your controller is not compatible with the game futures.

well my brought copy of TDU works fine it's version 1.4 i think not to sure don't really look the only probs i haveare:

1.)i'm on dial-up internet(only for 2 more weeks) i can't run downloads in background and play offline profile just lags to much sound loops and gfx glicthes (hope it don't do this when i upgrade mu connection)

2.) My thrust Master force feedback wheel don't work it locks the game up (did that with toca race driver 3) i reckon it's driver prob there but i have latest

3.) 90% of all the sounds come from the left speaker it's annoying as hell specialy when u listen to radio the radio comes out of left speaker only (they need to fix this)

i would like to get a working mini image or nocd that dosen't mess everything up so i can play online so i don't damage my disc

so it runs fine apart from those minor problems my system specs and listed below it doesn't really need alot to play it i runs it on full detail with aa x2 running at a res of 1280x1240 no lag at all

i've a problem. actually i'm using the no DVD crack from gamecopy.
i launched the game, everything was fine, but after i bought me a new house, i drove to the first checkpoint my gps was telling me. so i enter the race, choose my car (haha how funny, i just have one :D ) und than i click on "go" (i'm german, in german it is called "starten" :D )
and than nothing happens, the camera is going around in circles and is moving, but nothing happens, i cant go back or do anthing else. i have to "call" the task manager

everyone of my dudes have the same problem, they ... better we cant start the first game

how can i solve this problem?

After 4-5 hours, your PC is overheadet and reboot, this game is absolutly unproper for PC adapted and suck all available ressources, by each crash, (overheading and rebbot or graphical crash) the game have not the time to rewrite the last stand of savegame and the old save finish as corrupted.

But most part of crash's are du to low hardware power.

Its clear, at origine this game has bin released for XBOX 360 they use a triple corps processor each corps clocked at 3200 mhz, game manufacterer have just converted to PC platform without any optimisation to low power machines.

have fun, 4-5 hours without a crash is a rekord.....

Hi all.

I got TDU this week and tried to install the patch from Vitality (24/03). The problem is when I start the game with the new .exe, I get a message about updating the game, which I can't do with the cracked .exe.

But when I put the original .exe back, I can start the game without having that 'update' message. Has this happened to anyone? Can anybody help?

To solve this, I tried creating an image using Alcohol 120%, but I had the message : 'please insert original.... not backup'.
Something is wrong here and I'm a newbie to all this. Also, at the first step of the copy wizard, I can't choose the Datatype when I select the disc drive in which I have the original CD (my source). I can only do that when I select my other disc drive.

Can anyone help? Some people offered help on this thread http://fileforums.com/showthread.php?t=80261
but none worked :(

You can try to disable the auto-update function in the game/config.
(I don't know if this option can be switched.)

Also you can try to update the game (copy original-exe back before) and then after update use the cracked exe for this new version (i available).

That's what I'm trying to say. If I put the original .exe file back, the update message doesn't show up. It's only when I replace it with the cracked .exe that I get the message.

Do you know why my backup with Alcohol120% is recognized as a backup and can't play the game?

You are probably using the v1.0 cracked exe on a v1.1 version of the original game.

Do you know why my backup with Alcohol120% is recognized as a backup and can't play the game?
These days it is virtually impossible to create a perfect 1:1 backup for 'most' games.
The created backup is usually ok as an install disc but a NoCD exe or a mini/maxi image is needed to actually play.

How can I check the version of the game? When I launch it, I see MC 1.45 on the main screen. Is this my version?
I never updated the game since I got it, so I don't understand why the cracked exe would be "older" than the game.

On GCW all the cracks are 1.0. Since I'm the only one having this problem, I don't think it's the crack.:(

You can only buy in commerces the version MC 1.45 also, 1.45 is the 1.0 from GCW, only vitality version from crack run proper and don't forgoth to copie the "Euro" folder to game directory. Monday is announced by atari comming out the first update, and after update, you need a new version crack to play proper.:D

A hint from The Mole(the official Atari mod form the TDU Atari forums):
"On the other hand, you know what it means. The banning is starting. There's been plenty of notice, please no complaints if your account gets banned for removing the poor birdies."
So if there are modified files, you get a ban.
So more likely you will be playing online with a mini-maxi image, rather than a crack.

Well, warned you about the fact that any files that doesn't match will be considered a cheat. The first things that they said was about the introduction of an anticheat system.
For online play, you will have to use a mini-maxi image or the original.

No online for you, kids. Anticheat system introduced for online gaming??? Rings a bell? For online you will need a mini-maxi image from now on. The crack is only for SP purposes.
And the crack comes from Hatred. But there are a lot of complaints about the so-called patch. The clubs still not working, some sounds problems, for some videocards dramatical fps drop, frequent crashes.
And that my friends with the original DVD in drive. Arghhh.

Hi!
I tried and play TDU offline but the crack doesn't seem to work.
Here's what I did:
- Install the game
- Apply the patch (1.66a)
- Apply the crack from Hatred.
Still, every time I start the game, I get a request for the authentication code, which I don't have (and is not included/necessary in the crack).
Am I missing anything? Is an image required to play the game v. 1.66a?
Thanks a lot for your help!

I hope this not too offftopic for a crack thread but seeing this thread about the Test Drive games made remember something

I actually never played the newer ones but I used to play the first Test Drive game, the one for DOS that came in 5.25 diskettes on a 386 I also played another Text Drive I can't remember If was test Drive 4 or 5 from 1990 that one came more realistic and with more features tha the first one obvioulsy was on those days when games had that kind of copy protection that game requested some code and you needed to look the manual of the game know the code or the game let only let you play a few minutes

Those ones was made by Accolade before Infogrames (now Atari) bought them

I suppose by this time the gameplay of these newer Test Drive games must be very changed from obviouly the time that has passed but The Test Drive game are really a long time running franchise until these days and is good see has not dissapeared like others for those times
