Test Drive Unlimited 360 problem

Spinal2k2 · 27 Oct 2007 at 21:47

I play TDU quite a bit, maily just single player mode doing some missions to get money for some cars then drving around like a loony.

But quite a few times, when i get chased from the police i go offroad to get away from them and ive ended up going through a wall or hedge into someones back garden and thats it im stuck.

I cant get out at all - the wall/hedge seem to be one way only and the only way to get out is to switch of the 360 and restart the game.

anyone else had this problem.

Is there a way to get out of a garden if you get stuck - like a GTA Style bunny hop lol.

Doesn't the back button set you back on the road? If not then stop going off road :confused:

I'll try that.

Its a free roam game - i'll go off road if i want, the game was designed to be like that.

Hey I never said you are not allowed to go off road. But by free roam they mean you have access to the whole island. It wasn't designed for you to go off road as that's why there are loads of things stopping you going off road just as you are experiencing. TDU is a casual racer, not SEGA rally.

i only started going offroad when i got bored of racing. the souped up ZX10-R is amazing offroading. specially for ramping stuff.

quick question how do i get into the speedway racetrack?

If thats the case then they would have added the invisible barriers at the side of the road to stop you going off road.

Its a free roam game, so it allows you to go off road.

It is free roam, that's why there are all sorts of secret locations you can get to by going off road, but that doesn't mean you're not still going to get stuck on certain objects.

As said, just press back and it'll put you back on the road.

Go to the secret island

It sucks though.

You have to do so many missions before you can get on the raceway.

Just to add to get into the raceway you have to be a champion IIRC. (or is it the one below that I can't remember lol)

AS for the going off road just hit back on the controller and it will put you back onto the nearest available road.

It seems like you're shouting him down for helping you. Yes, you can go off road, but they added the ability to put you back on the road incase what has happened to you has happened. Why are you having a go?

lol tis OK Nokkon. If that's how he likes to enjoy the game then so be it. I stick to the roads myself. Fast driving while try to dodge traffic is good fun.

i wasnt shouting him down, and i apologies to Tobes if it did sound like that.

The games a free road game - so drive anywere etc, but its just annoying getting stuck inside someones garden because the game for some reason lets me drive through the wall/hedge into the garden but no way of driving out.

A bug in the game really - but its a fream roam game so it should let you drive around with out getting stuck etc.
