ah ha on screen showed the above mentioned download numbers etc, so to try it I found Play button worked ok ! strange that.
 
haven't played it for ages.. might get back and look at the changes.. :) doesn't mention the most annoying bug.. handling..
 
Ability to sell cars - Something that should have been in there since day one but good nonetheless.

I think I will get back into this now (Had to stop due to the bugs).
 
downloading now, thanks for the heads up, hopefully this will render my copy functional once again, gonna be very annoyed if not :)

100% this!!!!!

I really wanted to love this game but the handling is like driving on rails and sooooooo twitchy!!

I've also come to hate the mini-map too - very difficult to tell when a corner is upon you as your car icon is so big it engulfs the exact position on the map!!! :confused:
 
Totally agree about the mini map , can loose some time on something that may be coming up doing some braking can really be a problem.

I am playing on x360pad and handling is perfect.

Graphics is very nice too at max details@1200*1200 with 60fps. Thanks for the heads-up, downloading now.

I'm using the same pad and the handling is shocking!! :confused: Personal opinion I guess! (unless you have some super-secret controller settings that you can share?? :p)

yeah, it is called default. Maybe you have something screwed up there or maybe you just s**k at it (no offense;) ). I dunno, it controls really well.

But I have to say after playing SHIFT2 this last month, it is hard getting back to TDU2. SHIFT has much better incar experience, the feel is much more real. I wish someone would combine engine and incar experience of SHIFT2 with concept of TDU2 (open world, exotic races, cops..).

Sadly, nobody will make that game because developers and publishers are idiots.
 
Ill grab a screenie of my setup for 360 pad it might help others. Two ticks.

Edit - Meh the things downloading 450mb ish patch :( so will have to be later on.
