Hey there, I recently purchased test drive unlimited for the pc.

My pc can handle games well (plays oblivion at super high, woo)

Annnnd before someone says, yes i have all up to date drivers installed :P

Whenever i come accross another online player in the game, or try to enter a multiplayer race....it just crashes to desktop and displays this message on top of a black screen

"TestDriveUnlimited.exe has encountered a problem"

Any ideas? Thanks

reinstall maybe? having a good pc is fine but if you use other things than is needed it still can crash

possibly its your ports on your router or firewall?

when you meet other players/multiplayer race it may need to use ports that normally you dont need open.

check the readme.htm file on your tdu dvd. theres a section that lists the numerous ports you need to open. if you need a hand, ask here and we cna help you with your router etc.

it might not be this but worth a try?

MrPingu, I've seen this only with bad install, graphics card with 64MB VRAM or old drivers. If you want to PM your dxdiag file to me I'll be around for the next hour or so :)

Thanks for the quick replies, been at work so now i'm just sitting down and trying different things out.

I see the ports that need to be opend yet I can't find any way of opening them in nortan security.

Also I have a cmedia sound thingy...so i went to the cmedia site to download the latest driver...yet i'm unsure of what product my sound thingy is (so therefore im not sure which driver to download)

Any suggestions/ tips please? (thanks :) )
