Some from todays play:

On "The" island

Don't do it!

That is all!

If I use photo mode, it skews/squishes my images

not sure if anyone without a widescreen monitor has this problem or not :confused:

Is that the island by the airport, how'd you get on there?

Tom1138 · 19 Mar 2007 at 19:34

Quick question, is it possible to back up my save games? I would like to store it on a zip and put on a CD or something. Don't fancy playing it all over again (not at this stage anyway).

edit: oh and while i remember, can't seem to find paint shops are they available on expert level afterwards?

Get my copy tommorow. Found this screen of me in the beta, quite like.

I'll be restarting it though as I lost my save game

All I've been doing is backing up the "Test Drive Unlimited" folder that's in "My Documents"

I had a corrupt profile the other day, so am backing up a lot now

also just had it crash out. It said "lost connection to server" but just stayed on that, had to end task

I got onto that island, bit boring

spent ages getting to the teleport thing aswell. It's a sort of easter egg I guess.

edit: yay finally got to Champion level

time for some bike canage

I expect you'd need a registry backup as well as save games, unless they are all swapable?

I would've thought you could backup the savegame in mydocuments and then if you re-install windows or anything anytime, just re-install the game and put the savegames on again :confused:

I don't backup the whole TDU installation folder

This is @ 1680x1050 everything maxed and turned on, with supersampling and all other settings maxed through 8800gtx settings. I expected more :rolleyes:

Loads of high res pics HERE

Getting some decent performance now

4xAA 16xAF not bad for a little 7800

AA still messes up from time to time, flicking between options usually settles it down though.

benjo · 19 Mar 2007 at 21:35

Can someone help me with a few things?

Firstly, it may have been covered in this thread already, but how do i find friends on this game? Me and naffa load up the game, and we're both at the same place, but there's nobody there? Also, when i launch the game, i seem to be the only person in the server according to the player list.

PiKe · 19 Mar 2007 at 21:42

There's no demo of this available is there?

Simmy · 19 Mar 2007 at 21:47

How do you change your status to 'ready' or 'green' when there is a race between online players? For example, if you click on one of the orange races.

FreeStream · 19 Mar 2007 at 22:10

Well that was a GOOD day.

My list is now:

Tuned
Ferrari F430
Ferrari Enzo
Aston Martin DB9
Ford GT
Audi S3
Audi S4

Un-tuned
Alfa Romeo thing u win
Mclaren Mercedes SLR
Ferrari 575M

:cool:

Also who made the Overclockers UK club? I tried to make one but it said the name was used!!!

We need to have a gathering tomorrow night to get friends lists sorted!!

Mint_Sauce · 19 Mar 2007 at 23:29

heh, I sold a load of high priced A cars for $1000 earlier (Ferrari Enzo, McLaren GTR and some others). I bet someone filled their pants seeing those, each one was snapped up about 4 seconds after posting funnily enough!
