What is this bug you speak of? I hope I don't encounter it.

Nokkon and I have been discussing this. Don't know if it's the same as anyone elses, but mine is...

Sold TDU the other day, wanted to finish a few things off like the missions so backed my save onto my memory card.

Went to friends house, plugged in memory card, played under my profile but when it saved, said it was corrupt.

(Nokkon, my message to you about 10mins ago is actually not correct, here's why).

Borrowed the game off my mate to see if I could continue playing at home and I "thought" incorrectly that my 360 had fixed the save but actually I was reading from the harddrive again, so managed to continue ok, however if I tried to read from the memory card, then I ended up with a corrupt game save.

Incidentally, the friend I borrowed TDU from doesn't have a harddrive, he's got a memory card and reported today that his save game is corrupt!

Ahh I have heard about that, I thought there was something else.

The only issue I have at the moment is there are no missions on my map for me to do, I've done them all. I guess I now have to drive around just to find more. Done all races, time trials and speed challenges on Gold.

Yeah I had then when I was wrapping things up. Some of the missions are in the most obscure places so you can kill two birds with one stone by getting the "discover every road" and find the achievements.

Looks like I've lost 38hours of gameplay.

What's the best race to earn some quick money? On expert level at the moment.

probably the 170mph in heavy traffic one down near the bottom middle of the map.

£15000 for 20 seconds driving.

Humm... cant seem to find it. I don't have to pass a race to see it on the map do I? Races that I cant jump to are just transparent right?

Correct, filter your map by speed races. Makes things a bit easier to find.

Tobes · 22 Sep 2006 at 19:01

lol Still cant find it. You sure it doesn't pop up when your a champion?

Tobes · 22 Sep 2006 at 21:28

Do you guys know how to get into the airport?

If you dont:

Grab a bike (can be done with car but vry hard)
Down by the airport is a location called V-Rent. Follow this road and there is a dead end. You will see there is a fence and flowers in front of it. Basically you have to pull a wheelie and hit the flowers. Get it right and you go over the fence. When over use the bookmark function so you can get back over there with any vehicle.

Chances are if you online you will see people doing the same thing. Use your camera for ultimate laughs!

As much as I have enjoyed playing this game I feel the online play (currently)Is a complete flop. There never seems to be many If anyone online.

fergie666 · 24 Sep 2006 at 16:46

i find that there is always quite a few playing online, though by the time i catch up to someone they have warped to another part of the map lol

saying that, had an excellent race last night. i was in a ferrari and the other guy was in a slightly faster ferrari. blasted along the freeways for miles

Still loving this game, haven't had a huge amount of time to play but currently at 22%. Made some bad car buying decisions which has held me back a bit but its all good

Just wondering about the car trading. I'm yet to see it active, are they still working on a fix?

Tobes · 25 Sep 2006 at 00:06

It did work but because of so many people the servers couldnt cope with the extra weight. So they turned it off. They said 10 days so expect it this week.

Thats cool... just spent all my money so will need to get the funds back up anyway, might sell one of my bikes aswell

silversurfer · 25 Sep 2006 at 01:23

Sorry I missed whats wrong with online play, does it stutter/lag?

Tobes · 25 Sep 2006 at 01:27

Nope not at all. Just some features had to be turned off cause of the amount of people who were playing the game online. Atari's servers couldn't cope with the demand.

silversurfer · 25 Sep 2006 at 01:36

So if that many people are playing, thats all sales for them and hopefully they are capable of accomodating demand.
Its a pretty poor company that cant cope with success tbh
