Test drive unlimited turn shadows off ?

GothicGhost · 6 Mar 2008 at 00:07

Hi all.

Is there a tweak to turn shadows off cause the game stutters a few seconds as i play and shadows on is probs not helping much lol

P4 2.8
7800 gs agp
1 gig 3200

Thanks

Not that I know of, but with a P4 it's bound to stutter. Try reducing the detail level and turn off HDR if it's on.

Yeah i turned it all to low and HDR is off

I looked in the init files myself but i cant see anything to do with shadows only HDR and blur effects

Cheers

what res you playing at?

my old p4 3.2ht and 7600gt pcie was able to play with medium details @ 1024x768 no probs

I uninstalled/reinstalled the game then added the patch again

This time doing some reg edit thing i got from the TDU forums

And now i can play the game high settings x4 AA no hdr 1440/900

Getting about 20-30 fps and no stuttering or pauses

oh well i don't need shadows off anymore but i did google it and i dont think you can turn them off anyways :confused:

same happened to me erm when i had a p4 2.6 and x1950pro . expected test drive unlimited to run fine but no. cpu def letting me down. a lot of posts with same probs on the forum. not much you can do apart from some tweaks. never bothered though myself. runs great on a mid range system today though.

Yeah there not a lot of support for the game from what i have seen

But i payed for it now and its working ok for the moment lol

And i only got the game really cause its got motorbikes lol which i trying to find out how to get lol
