You need to change the date in the BIOS. Not in windows. Otherwise it doesn't work.

Yes indeed, best looking version imo.

I just hope they have optimized the graphic hardware because the Beta was a resource hog. Other than that, I didn't really have any complaints.

Agreed. Latest release date I've heard is 16th March (in the UK at least).

It's going to be a long 18 days. Just hope that when I get it, it runs as well on my hardware as the beta did.

I was so hooked into this game. I installed a second copy of XP.

AMAZING. Love the delivery mission with the Zonda.

Lookie on what I got my hands on today...

I assure you this is not the Beta (as seen from the names in both cases)

Damn! I sure hope buy the time it comes out that I at least have my gig of ram so if anything the loading times would be a bit faster

They still haven't fixed the stuttering issues. Then again, it may because I am below system requirements. I don't know if they are minimum or recommended but in the Read Me, it says I need 256 MB of video RAM. Unfortunately, I only have 128 MB. I don't think the game will stay on my computer for very long if the stuttering issues really affect the gameplay and so far, it's not looking good.

I believe the game's out in Sweden. As can be read on the TDU forums at the Atari site.

I already have it, can't say my resources .. but I'm playing it .. I didn't read too many about the game, but I really like it, great cars, no story, but who cares, it's racing, it involves girls or boys, depends on character ... I am stuck somehow @ police chase ... they followed me quite a while, and now there are 3 marks on the pursuit .. and I'll be ## if I know how to lose them .. if I hide, they don't see me, but they stand put .. I have no idea how to lose the pursuit .. and NO I'm not giving myself up, last time I checked the Fine .. was around 30k $ .. good luck with the game

Originally(the game box) or "illegaly" (means "downloaded")?
Because you should get first the one that's on the box

I'm getting this game also but the stuttering in the beta was a "nfsmw-ish" game again...lot of stuttering in my pc....not good.
Also, the game was requiring 256mb of VIDEO ram?? sure skyline??
I've read also in the readme that it was 128mb, and 256MB PC RAM, not video..

He makes it sound like he has some uber, secret resources where he can get anything he wants, when in fact, it doesn't take a genius to find it on the net.
---------------------------------------
Anyways, you make it sound like I don't know what I'm talking about and that I am computer-illiterate. Well, in that case, let me quote you the System Requirements from the Read-Me:

OS (Operating System): Windows 2000/XP/Vista
CPU (Processor): Intel P4 @ 2.4 Ghz or AMD Athlon 2800+
GPU (Video Cards): ATI Radeon 9800 256 MB VRAM or Nvidia 6600 GT with 256 MB of VRAM. Video Cards with vertex/pixel shaders 2.x and above are recommnded
SPU (Sound Cards): DirectX 9.0-compatible Sound Card
System Memory (RAM): 512 MB (1 GB recommended)
HDD free space (Hard Disk): 8 GB minimum

I ordered TDU today, and I should get it in a few days.

Decided to have it sent home tho, so it'll be there for a few days more before I can play it, but I needed an excuse to go home

I've had an eye on this game for some time now. The XBox 360 version looks awesome, but I'll be getting it for the Playstation 2. I'm annoyed by the amount of features they had to remove for it to suit the PS2 version, but unfortunatly it's the only one I can get (the PC and laptop are both rubbish in my house). Don't care, I'll still buy it anyway.

Who else is buying the PS2 version? We'll need to begin a NFSUnlimited club...

yeah you were right

damn I need to start reading well the readmes...

2furio · Post by **2furio** » 05 Mar 2007, 21:07

I'm still hoping the stuttering is not because of the video RAM, as I've heard people with 8800-series video cards also have stuttering issues. I'm starting to lose faith in this game because the Beta was in better condition...ah well...

Stereo · Post by **Stereo** » 06 Mar 2007, 00:28

The game stuttered for me in Vista but not in XP. If you have vista go back to XP if you can. Much better for the game...

I'm in the same boat you are. As soon as it comes out I'm getting it

Interesting comments re: stuttering issues.

I didn't encounter that problem in the beta at all, even though my 9800 Pro graphics card only had 128MB of vram. The cars did feel slow (guess it was poor frame rate), but they ran smooth. It ran much better when I turned the graphics quality down to medium from high, and still no stuttering. I'm wondering if the issue for you guys is processor-speed related (though my processor isn't exactly cutting edge any more either)?

It'll be interesting when I receive the full version - it'd better run better than the beta, as I've since upgraded my graphics card (not specifically for TDU, but because the old 9800 was starting to struggle with modern games, even though I'd overclocked it).

oh no lad, not "uber secret" ... I downloaded it .. so it was illegal .. that's why I used "resources" .. you lived in Romania .. you know how it's like

Stereo · Post by **Stereo** » 08 Mar 2007, 22:36

I don't see how it's illegal if the game was free to download before. =\
