You ahve a rly good processor.My 2.4 Ghz XP + is kinda old and tired.I gotta change my graphics card.
Btw,I'll try to install TDU and the patch.I'll let you know how it works.

[Porsche-AG]

Stupid TDU still won't run on my PC. I tried playing it last night but it froze before I even got to the main screen, so if it's an in-game setting problem, I can't even fix it without reinstalling the entire game. This is extremely annoying and an absolute waste of $50. I haven't played the game in at least 3 months and I can barely even remember where I was at. At least EA's bugs aren't massive ones that don't allow you to play the game *cough*Atari*cough*.

[race_invader]

@ race_invader TDU is kinda demanding on RAM so it may not run too well 256MB It may not even run well on 512MB unless you have a real good processor and Graphics card.

Yeah that true. Here is my specs if it helps
------------------
Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2 (Build 2600)
Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 3.00GHz
CPU Speed: 3.00 GHz Performance Rated at 5.40 GHz
149GB HDD
NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GS
DirectX9
Realtek High Definition Audio
----------------
Also ive got all latest drivers.

@ race_invader it should run but it will stutter a lot due to lack of memory especially in the city areas. Your gpu is more modern than mine so lets see what happens shall we.
@ taz ok then if your lucky you should get a few more frames

[race_invader]

Hmm.. Shuttering do i really risk playing TDU with that. Thank you for that btw.

Why do you want to play TDU on PC if you've it already on the 360 ?

[race_invader]

Well i like to meet other PC users too so i don't mind buying the game twice, but so far bad comments and problems have been said about the PC version etc so i might just stick to X360, i don't like the sound of shuttering though so ill pass.

[baadmw]

Does anyone know if there is a way of removing the patch?

[taz947]

Good question,baadmw.I was asking myself how to do it.
If it's more buggy with the patch,how I unistall it?
I installed again TDU,and I realized that I have more FPS then the last time I had it.Kinda weird...

Is it the TDU.exe patch you are talking about?

[Porsche-AG]

A few changes to my GFX driver managed to get Test Drive Unlimited to finally work. But there is one extremely dissappointing part to it: I can't drive around in any of my online accounts.

It is most likely a bug, and I know that it's for any online account because I tried more than one. I also tried going offline and it worked okay (Laggy though).

But since my online account is my only good one, does anyone know how to fully convert my online account into an offline account (Not just disabling the 'online' settings)?

[Frenzy]

Not possible

[YaelDjiel]

Does anyone know if there is a way of removing the patch?

uninstall, reinstall

[Porsche-AG]

@ Frenzy: It is possible. My game is a perfect example. I still haven't found out a way to convert my online account to an offline one.

[GINIX_2007]

I really dont think its possible.

[Carcrazy]

I know the requirements say 6600GT, but since those are offten much lower than they need to be, how well could a 7600GT OC run it? I have 1.25 GB RAM and windows vista... (and an AMD sempron 64 2.4ghz proccessor)

And how well would an 8600GT run it?

[taz947]

I think you could run it on 800x600 with medium or high details...

I dont know about the sempron, but with my 7600GT, 2 GB RAM, Pentium D 3.0, i can run it on max settings (HDR off) at 1024x768.

A 8600GT will let you play it with HDR+AA on too, but again...i dont know about the sempron.

[Porsche-AG]

@ GINIX: Then what explanation do you have for this? I'm pretty sure it's a glitch, and I tried running both the online and offline modes at the same settings.

[blah2]

I am so firetruck pissed I think I broke the gear. I have a wheel and when I set it to manual and auto-clutch and h-shifter on it doesn't start or change gears. It stays in the NEUTRAL POSITION. Damn it pisses me off. Tried without auto-clutch or h-shifter.
It sucks ass.

[Carcrazy]

Okay so check this out... I was just ridin around chillin in the new Ferrari, met up with this guy in a corvette for a race. So basicly, i haul him for the first part he catches up it lagges and i run into a wall. (lmao) But that's not the point. After I crashed I started to back up and then this came up...



Anyone wanna tell me what that means?

I forgot to tell you.Sorry
No,it doesn't have more fps.


@carcrazy:That's a stupid glitch.I didn't hear about that ''incoherence'' in a game...

It sucks bumbum.

Go to the control settings, and see whats under something like 'engine'. stock, if you'd press the throttle, it starts, but if you set it to a button (like i did) u can start and turn off the engine.

BTW: im running this game quit well at:
Intel 2.6 ghz
512 mb ram
Ati Radeon 9600 TX

though you can see my cpu struggles in the cities, but out in the desert it runs smoothly, cruisin' at 200 mph.... damn nice...

[Carcrazy]

Ya'll have to check this out... I've been working for the past few hours getting some money to buy another car. (Gettin to many miles on the F430...) So I got up about 250,000... didn't feel like getting any more. I went all around the island, didn't find a single car I liked that was faster than the ferrari. So I went home, and checked the community sales. Got me a new dark blue DB9, but that's not the point. When I was looking, someone was selling a Maserati Spyder 90th Anniversary, brand new for $1,000! Someone was also selling a Mercedes-Benz SLK 55 AMG, also brand new, for $1,000! I took a screenshot just to show you...
