Test Drive Unlimited problem.

Joebob · 13 Jan 2008 at 08:57

I just bought Test Drive Unlimited as I fancied a driving game for the PC. Quite impressed so far, looks really nice and I like the free roaming feel to the game.

Anyway, I select my character, buy a house and a car and then proceed to my first race. But when I get into the menu to start nothing happens! It's almost like it's just hanging - has anyone else had this problem and if so then is there a fix?

have you pressed Start at the bottom right side of the screen when in (Race menu)?

Well I try to but the mouse wont click on anything - I have tried pressing all keys and joypab buttons but literally the only thing that works is 'esc' to bring up the options menu!

odd

try resetting your default controls n try again? i've been having fun with my 360 pad for 4 days now ... starting to get annoyed with it :/

I'm not bothered about playing online and hate having to swap discs so I'm using a No-CD fix. Could this have something to do with it?

They are really bad! They can crash the pc at any time, take it off and use the cd

Agreed, sorted out a stuttering problem I had with PES6 when I used the original CD.

With regards to TDU, I would try it with the CD as I am sure that a No CD may cause this problem.

Yeah the no-cd i used to use gave me a few problems. Would be worth trying it without.

anyone use the 360 windows pad for this game? if so can anyone take a screenshot of the control setup?

phatboy · 13 Jan 2008 at 15:07

if it is crashing on the loading/saving screen, press escape to pause, got to quit, and then load the game up again, It worked for me (after i uninstalled it and reloaded save.ggggrrrrr) its just another of TDU's wonderful faults lol

360 pad is great for the game, I have the shoulder buttons as accel and brake, just loading it up to take a screen grab for you now

...bare with me

No mate , couldnt get them to work

so gave up

MarcLister · 15 Jan 2008 at 16:55

I know the feeling.

I tried to install them a while ago but messed it up and the only way I can think of to fix the mess is to reinstall Windows.

A mate of mine worked out how to do it but he's left Uni now and will have forgotten anyway.
