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

probelm starting the first race
 

hey
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?

What do you mean with "how funny, i just have one" ???
Do you bought a car in the game?

The game (german version with crack) works fine for me.

Does this happen without a crack, too? Are you sure you haven't left an (uncalibrated) game controller (game pad, joystick, whatever) connected? Also, read the forum FAQ for some ideas on fixing problems...

have you experienced problem that reboot pc?
i was playing about 4-5h and my PC was booted and savegame disappeared

game crashes very often, is this common for v1.1 ??

yes is common
 

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.....

My noob problem
 

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.

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.:(
