yes you can download it and burn to a cd, however to prevent fraud they will only let you download it 6 times and activate 3 times. if you need to re-install and activate it when your activations run out you can contact them with your order number and e-mail used during checkout and hopefully they'll sort you out.

All the cars are great fun. It's worth buying, even with all the glitches.

hmmm thanks for that news.

[Joost1608]

Hello,

i want to buy this megapack but i don't have a credit card and can't buy with Maestro because i live in the Netherlands.

Is it possible to let someone else buy, and give you download and activationlinks?

Bye,
Joost :salut2:

[CLR-AMG]

Yes it is, I got a friend I know from TDU to buy me the pack. I later transferred the money to his account, while he sent me the email with the DL-link and code.

Nothing bad about that.

yes, i did the same. works as long as you got an honest guy who does it for you.

[Racer_Xenon]

OK, so the megapack discussion is a hundred pages long or so, I'll admit I haven't read it all tonguegre But here it goes: The megapack does not work with the Russian TDU version, does this mean that there will never be any localised versions or anything compatible released for it? If so, I'm not likely to buy an English copy for the game, just to be able to pay for the carpack :noooo: I'd be happy if someone could answer my question, or mention if this has been brought up before. Thanks!

[rsxtype-s2006]

any one have a link where i can buy this ?

btw im form the us so no uk sites thanks :}}

I just got the megapack. I had no problems downloading and installing/activating it.

My thoughts:

Why include the Kawasaki ZX-12R? The ZX-12’s engine is based on an engine that was developed all the way back in 1998 and has about 10 fewer horsepower than the ZX-10’s engine (based on an engine developed in 2004). The ZX-12’s successor, the ZX-14, has been out since 2006 and has a much more powerful engine, so why was the ZX-12 licensed in place of the ZX-14?

How did Atari end up licensing the 1957 Corvette as the “C1”? The fourth generation Corvette (C4) was the first Corvette the “CX” nomenclature. In fact, GM used lower C-numbers for other vehicles. The “C3,” for example, is a GMC ½ ton pickup truck.

Lamborghini Gallardo Coupe: Seriously, why was this car even needed?

Actually, that’s a thought that I can extend to a lot of cars in the pack. We already have a racing version of the McLaren F1, so why do we need two more? What does having five Lexus models (which are so slow that they won’t be used except once or twice for the odd lower-class challenge) add to the game?

The decision not to include the Diablo GT is also very disapointing.

Finally, the price: If we exclude vehicles that are nearly identical to each other (for example, the Spyker C8 Spyder and C8 Spyder T count as one) and the free patch cars, that’s 38 cars for $20. Half the price of the original game for effectively 38 cars is a little much! But, I guess it’s worth what people will pay for it, and I spent the $20!

I agree almost completely with you, except for the Mclaren F1 part: at least they are different enough to be different cars.

[chemicalfan]

I disagreee about the McLarens, they are very similar. I thought that about the original 2 though, so another 2 didn't help matters.

I think the Spykers are different - isn't 1 of them C class while the other is B? Sure, they look the same, but under the bonnet it's a different story. It's like asking why have the CLK and the CLK DTM

i kind of agree with that. the original TDU had the same "problem": the number of cars was artificially boosted by including more than one version of what is basically the same car. the MacLaren is one example, the various convertibles another. while i appreciate that you can choose between convertibles and coupes, they shouldn't be listed as different vehicles.

i also don't understand why we would need 4 McLaren versions. 3 of them look almost exactly the same.

but then again, i've bought the pack for a few specific cars (mainly the Ferraris, the Countach, the oldies and classics). in fact, i just had to have the Ferrari 308 no matter what. everything else is just a bonus.

[DeltaRomeo21]

the MacLaren is one example, the various convertibles another. while i appreciate that you can choose between convertibles and coupes, they shouldn't be listed as different vehicles.

IMHO, the coupe and convertible versions of the cars differ handling wise. Personally, I prefer the handling of the Maserati Cambio Corsa Spyder to the Maserati Coupe (i.e. the hard-top version of the same car - forgotten what it's actually called - I guess that's old age creeping up on me :p ). They would differ, as in real life, as convertibles tend to be heavier as they need more stiffening.

Here, I could not agree with you more. I'm ignoring the cars I'm not bothered by (i.e. the Toyotas, sorry, Lexuses) - I too bought the pack for the classic Ferraris and Lambo Countach and also the American Muscle cars. I'm quite happy for my £9.99, even though I can now purchase the full game for £15.

If you look closely at the R/L McLaren dev notes on the F1 you'll see that the car started with 1 prototype and thru different mods for various different races ended up with quite a few different varients. I personally have been holding out for the F1 LM as it's a full out F1 but without the restrictors in the engine that are present in the GTR version and a different gear ratio than the F1. IIRC the F1 GT is an F1 but with a longer chassis (as the LM is also). I also remember the GT being a 'streetable' version of the F1. So IMHO the LM version should be as fast as the F1, but handles like a F1 GTR, no ?

that is of course true. the convertibles always have (at least slightly) lower stats than their coupe counterparts.

however, i think it would be better to just list the basic car (the coupe) and make the convertible an option during the purchase process, just like you chose colour, wheels and interior. stats would be automatically adjusted.

i remember that there was a racing game that did it just like i described, but i can't recall which one. weirdblue

to list coupe and convertible (and possibly even more variants, as with the Gallardo) versions as separate cars seems like a cheap way to boost the total number of cars. the game promises 90 cars, but really it's only around 80.

some of the cars can be tuned into a new version (such as the Saleens or the NISMO). the game also lists those vehicles as separate cars, doesn't it?

Convertibles and coupes differ in handling because the frames of these cars are different. The convertible has generally a weaker frame because they don't have the added roof strength the coupe's have, and they weigh more because of the top hardware which would make them slower. With the added weight, weaker frame less powerful engines are usually installed to help balance performance with safety.

They SHOULD be offered as different cars because they ARE different. Coupe's are for racing, convertibles are for cruising around.

I also don't think you can tune a NISMO, they are what they are.

[UncleHayai]

Take a look at this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Corvette_C1

And this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Corvette_C3Since the C5 came out, enthusiastis have been extending the CX names to those cars because it's quicker than typing out "Xth generation," but GM didn't use those names when the cars were being produced. I was just surprised that GM approved the licensing for those cars when Atari screwed up their names. I guess GM has just started accepting that convention!

[ptmhki]

cannot upgrade F40, no good..

[maciuk]

Ok.

Lexuses R great. I love crusing them. Atari did good job that slower cars R added.

Gallardo SE/Coupe. I'm glad that that car is in my garage. It is a little bit slower but still great car! For the true pasiontates the diffrent is the same as betwen pie with a cherry on the top and with out it ;) ....

McLarens: Owesome that my colection of these cars is bigger!!! I love all of them!!!

All cars R owesome! Except the Cien .... I think this cars hould be redesigned an added to the next patch. This car i so mutch screwed up :/

[JanskuTurbo]

Hi Atari,

Will there be batch for non carpack players to see the carpack cars driven by others in online mode?

Actually, I think that's the best thing about the carpack.
Not many people will share my opinion, but it's just brilliant that the F40, the car that so many people want to drive and looked forward to can't be tuned.
At least people can't ruin that legendary car.
And I think that driving cars untuned is the better experience in TDU, especially in HC. I hope the F40 brings so much joy of driving it without tuning that it can convert people to drive non-tuned cars. :)

[Peter1987]

I hope the F40 brings so much joy of driving it without tuning that it can convert people to drive non-tuned cars. :)

Yes it could be the best thing on Earth! :laugh:
I have only one tuned car now (a Chevy Z06), just cause I like racing too, and it's almost impossible to do any race with untuned cars if I don't organise it way before! (It's very hard to tell people, last time I said about 6-7 times that "pls untuned cars only", and the only answers I got were "go"/"gogogo"/"are you joking?"!)

What I like that I see people who also like original cars, and not tuned ones, so I know that I'm not the only one who thinks like this. And I get instant challenge requests many times from untuned car drivers:)

[Lizard_Of_Bodom]

F40 is perfect and no tuning is needed! mdr1
Most of cars over C are powerfull enough to not tune them, especially in HC mode, but some of them are nice when tuned and still fun to drive (Testarossa or F430). But still - I am anti-tuning gyu so in TDU2 I would prefer to have indicators rather than tuning option :P

[Blazingfirespeed151]

Before i buy it this week Umm.. If i was to re-installe my TDU or Wipe PC and Re installe it Can i Re use my Activation code?

[kalniel]

Yes at least three times - any more and just email to ask for more activations.

Even if you're anti-tuning, can I recommend tuning one of the megapack cars?
The Koenigsegg CCR tuned to stg3 is such a laugh. 1047bhp, 280mph without drafting! :nuts:
Just do it for the giggles, I did.

I even drive that monster in HC without any driving aids. :laugh:

[ISamboI]

So let me get this straight. If I re-install my OS 3 times, I have to re-activate the megapack each time and the 4th time I have to manually request a re-activation code!?

2nd question. I have a US version of TDU, but I live outside the US so can't download the US Megapack (Atari site restrictions). Will the UK Megapack work with my US version of TDU? (I know, no support etc etc)

Thanks.

Gosh, I sincerely hope so - since my install of TDU screwed up shortly after I installed the Megapack and I had to strip out and reinstall the lot within 2 days.

Otherwise, I've only got 1 activation left rolleyesa

[robotron2000]

If I have to format my HD and install the megapack again from a CD, how does it know how many times it has been installed?

[ride277]

What i really find disappointing is the lack of interest to make things working like intended (i think atari intended to make a game with minimal/no bugs). Especially with the car pack, to give people the idea that there was actually some interest to make this work properly, after some dissappointments in the past. But as far as i can tell these rather simple problems are not solved:

* 512 TR Ferrari seems to float when in garage or shop or tuner
* 440 TVR does not have a working rev meter
* Caddilac Cien does not have a working rev meter
* Holden Efyij (or whatever) does not have a working rev meter
* Lexus probs with gearbox
* etc. etc. etc...

And for me personally, i was looking forward to the Dodge Viper SRT10 Coupe, which i first tought was the '96 model, which is one of my fav's of all time, but i was happy with the '06 one too. The problem is that it drives like **** wif my G25. It oversteers ALL the time when driving it in a race (when u drive it to the max) or losing a little bit of grip on hills. I thought, how is this possible with those ENORMOUS back tires (19"x13"), so i looked up some tests with this car, and to my surprise, this car does not oversteer, but understeer, whereas the Corvette does oversteer. (see: http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/comparison_test/coupes/the_rematch_comparison_test/2008_dodge_viper_srt10 , last sentence in 2nd paragraph)
I find this rather surprising, and a bit disappointing, as I was hoping on a better driving experience from the Coupe to the roadster. Also the article states the Viper is better on track then a Corvette, but i am far better in driving the corvette on track than the Viper, cuz of the handling issues, which the corvette does not have, or at least not that much)

Before you think i don't like the car pack at all, and am just whining and not being positive about some parts of it, i'd like to conclude with saying that i do like large parts of the carpack. I love driving the new italian exotics, and the american muscle. mdr1

[ride277]

If I have to format my HD and install the megapack again from a CD, how does it know how many times it has been installed?

Because it probably connects to a server when u enter the code, for authentication. It prolly only does this when u install, so every time u enter the code it will count.

[ISamboI]

I don't see the problem - just email and ask for more when you run out.

Because I don't want to have to wait x hours / days for someone on the other side of the world (I'm from New Zealand) to get around to reading my e-mail request for an activation code! Meanwhile I'm unable to play the game I BOUGHT LEGITIMATELY because of some overly restrictive licensing policy!!

Sometimes I wonder if publishers are TRYING to loose customers!! To be honest I would get a much better experience by illegally downloading the patch than buying it!!

/rant :)

I guess I can e-mail ahead of time when I use my 3rd activation, but still, it's a bit of a pain!

[louisli]

As for me, I will not pay an extra dime for the mega pack until Atari fixes the connectivity of their servers. Three months since I bought the game and not a single time I can connect to the TDU server. Tried every solution on google and this forum, none of them work for me :mad:
PC version, PSP version, same... I'm all alone

[rdebruin]

Me to... TDU has always worked but since I re-installed it for the 3rd of 4th time or so I can't connect to the servers.. It always comes up with the message 'test drive server not available' etc. I doubt that requesting an new activation key will solve this but I'll give it a go. All options ran out for me... confusedb

[AndrewJWhalley]

No problems here connects fine, great pack, loving the new cars :D

[pogostickio]

No problems here. I've been test driving the new cars all day long. Girlfriend? What girlfriend?

I always drive in hardcore mode with hypersport (with a dab of handbrake) and I would recommend the new Noble M400, the highest bhp model of the Spyker cars, the Lamboughini Countach (why can't it be in stock!) and any of the RUF's. But be careful with those babies. The RUF high end cars are twitchier than putting a V8 on roller skates and pushing it into a china shop. But on the track they rule. I'm not into the Edonis type supercars or the new high end Chrysler. I tried it, reached 232mph and yeah that was a blast but I prefer to cruise, drift and manual shift. I would recommend the megapack. I was addicted to TDU before it came out and now I have no life at all. :chapeau: :laugh: :nuts:

servers work just fine, never had a problem, it's all at yours end of cable.

[Peter1987]

I can connect to the servers with no problem. Just experienced a little weird problem, that if I create a new gamespy profile, that I never played on TDU before, then I can't connect. If I recreate some of my older TDU profiles, I can connect with no prob. Minor issue, but really strange...

Only a problem if somebody wants to play on my computer with TDU, and he/she is not me or my girlfriend :)

[pogostickio]

Before i buy it this week Umm.. If i was to re-installe my TDU or Wipe PC and Re installe it Can i Re use my Activation code?

I downloaded and installed the megapack, all went fine. Being off from work I felt like tinkering with my pc so I remembered that Windows XP Service Pack 3 is now available. I downloaded that and it corrupted my pc. Thanks Windows Team!! What happened... SP3 deleted and did not replace a required .dll so Windows could not load. Not even in safe mode. I know this because the blue screen message said so.

I then did a repair job by using the Windows XP installation disc. But now Windows is all over the place with various SP3 files over-written with SP2 files and remaining SP3 files I can't uninstall or system restore. And to top it off TDU spat the dummy by giving me the copy protection message that lots of people used to post about way back in the middle of last year.

The main reason I repaired Windows was so I could backup all the new files since my previous dvd backup disc was created. When choosing which files to back up I also chose the megapack setup file.

I reformatted, re-installed XP, re-configured my pc just how it was prior to SP3. This next bit I did one after the other, straight away, no rebooting or going in-game to see if things are fine. I installed TDU, the 1.66 patch, then the megapack. Before doing any of that I had already imported a backup of the TDU folder into My Documents. I loaded TDU... And everything was fine. Not one glitch. 10sur10

If you use the same method that I did then you won't need the to re-use your activation code. That is only for re-downloading the megapack, which if you are a cautious and sensible bloke like me, should not be necessary. Today almost all pc's come with a cd or dvd burner. If not then they are so cheap you shouldn't be without one. :respect:

You would have to modify your TDU profile at the test drive unlimited community website. You chose which Gamespy profile TDU should link with, so you would have to change it to the new Gamespy profile.

And then your older tdu profiles won't work! :mad:

So that means all your TDU profiles must share the same Gamespy account? It would seem so. Unless you like modifying your details at the TDU community website site each time you want to change between Gamespy profiles. :nuts:

No wait, I'm not happy with this. I'm missing something. The above advice is correct but there's something from within the tdu game that I've forgotten about. When you create a completely new account from within the TDU game.. Don't you get to choose the tdu community site profile (username, email address) that tdu should use? I can't remember. If that is true and I believe it is, then you could specify another tdu community site account. And for that you would need to create a new one with the new gamespy account linked to that. But can you have two tdu accounts on one pc?

Oh dear, I seem to have confused myself. I wish I could delete this post. Was only try to be helpful, mumble, good advice, moan, no breakfast, mumble... (walks into distance shaking head.) lolblue: weirdblue

[Peter1987]

I don't need to change the community site details when I'm changing between my older profiles. Also, I tried to that with a new profile and didn't work.

No problem, I play with an older profile now.

[LabaLaba]

Kalniel or someone else...

Was this megapack a good thing financially for atari and eden? Did they make a big profit?

If so do you see it possible to have a second carpack, with other cars we haven't yet gotten?

Anyway. I love the megapack :bravo: I've cruised in every car and bike over 20km now and I own every one of them and every house tonguegre

I especially love the 612, the Countach and the Cien 10sur10

If so do you see it possible to have a second carpack, with other cars we haven't yet gotten?I have no idea - when the next financial report comes out from Infogrames you will be able to see if they've done much better than normal, and if that's down to the megapack that might be mentioned in the notes along with the report.

Hello everybody,

As you probably can see, my time is now 5:33 AM. I've been up all night trying to get the Megapack to work.
I've downloaded the 1.66A patch a while ago and loved the Skyline.

Yesterday i downloaded the megapack and had some problems with installing because it wasnt in the registry. That's all sorted out now.

I've installed the Megapack, entered the key/serial thing but i cant seem to find the Dodge Challenger for example.
Everytime i go the to Map and search for the lexus shop, it's not there.. :mefiant:

Thing i've done:
RE-installed TDU.
RE-installed the 1.66A patch.
Installed the Megapack: When installed, the Nissan Skyline is gone.. :nuts:
Seems like im downgrading the game or something..

It's just not working. Can anyone help me out.. I really want to play with the megapack enabled and working.

Thanks in Advance!

Did you discover all roads yet? If you havent driven the road along the new dealerships yet then I assume they won't show up yet either...

[Be_johan_tb]

Did you discover all roads yet? If you havent driven the road along the new dealerships yet then I assume they won't show up yet either...

Indeed I started a new offline game and u have to visit ALL dealers (also the new ones) to unlock the bikes. But the dealer are visible on the map only they are greyed out if you haven't driven that road yet (same situation as before the car pack only more dealerships). tonguegre

But In this case the new cars and dealerships don't show up at all so there is something wrong with the installation. :)

[ElProempie]

Did you discover all roads yet? If you havent driven the road along the new dealerships yet then I assume they won't show up yet either...

I've got the game for 97% done. I also got a message that i've driven all roads.
Even if you havent driven all the roads, the dealers still got to be visible on the map. But then greyed out so you can only drive there with GPS enabled.

I've got the same problem as Be_Johan_tb. They just arent there..
EDIT:

Cars are there, But the dealers and such arent showing on the map.
I cant even buy them.. Here is a picture to proof they are there..

Sorry you misunderstood me I haven't problems with it but I've heard of a Friend who has the same problem he just reinstalled tdu (deleted ALL the files) and it was fine only your problem seems somewhat different I'm afraid.

[Gutripper]

How did you get to 97% done so fast after re-installing? I assume you put a backed up save game back? In that case I have a few questions. Is the back up from the save game from before installing the carpack? Did you put the save game back after or before re-installing the carpack?

I guess you're seeing what I'm trying to say, perhaps the problem is caused by putting a pre-carpack saved game back after installing the carpack, since I assume installing the carpack would make changes to that save-game.

So if you did this:

RE-installed TDU.
RE-installed the 1.66A patch.
Installed the Megapack
Install pre-megapack backed up save game

You might want to try this instead:

RE-installed TDU.
RE-installed the 1.66A patch.
Install pre-megapack backed up save game
Installed the Megapack

That's just an educated guess it might have something to do with it though. Im in no way sure if this will help or not. I hope you can work it out. :)

[Malacaco]

Just a little question. Is it possible for a non UK resident buy the megapack via Gamesplanet UK?

[pogostickio]

Gutripper... I agree with your logic because I did what you advised (before reading your advice just now!) at the weekend. I had to re-install xp (damn stoopid SP3 deleting .dll's!!) I installed my backup save game into My Documents, installed TDU, the patch and then the megapack. No problems at all. :)

[VVicher]

Just a little question. Is it possible for a non UK resident buy the megapack via Gamesplanet UK?

I did it, i'm from Poland, using english OS and UK edition of TDU. I bought a megapack and paid in pounds without any problems.

It works! ! ! :bravo: Thank you GuTripper! !

[TheLastInLine]

I have so much bad luck or it's just my idea?

Yesterday evening (in Europe) I managed finally to purchase the Megapack.
Download it, installed it and launched the game after many times. I read that there were some problems yesterday with the servers. Anyway, I deleted the radial file once more. And when managed to play. I bought all the new cars in game except 2. F40 and Countach. I checked the trade! None of the megapack cars where avaiable! Not even the models where listed! Not the Skyline nor the RS4 despite the fact I had them since the release of 1.66.

I did something else. I opened the map. And checked for drivers with new cars. Guess what! Car not downloaded!!!! Ops, I said. It can't be. I went to the raceway expecting to see default cars to be honest.

I saw the cars and hear them, the way they were meant be and no defaults at all. I saw a couple of Rufs and an S6. And they could see me as well in my 308.

Why I guess there is something wrong with me? Any ideas?

[kalniel]

Megapack cars can't be traded for obvious reasons (and this has been mentioned many times before!) The car not downloaded on the map is also a known bug that's been mentioned before.

So nothing wrong with you except a lack of noticing these things being known ;)

[Be_johan_tb]

No there is nothing wrong that car not downloaded is server side (so there is nothing wrong) and trade well you can't put cars from the car pack on trade. madred: And the RS4 and Skyline are content of the car pack so you can't trade them either. :cry:

Edit Kalniel has beaten me again :laugh:

[TheLastInLine]

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
My heart is back in its normal position. There were many fears around me about what could be wrong.

I searched and found many threads about these two issues but none was the one I was looking for.

Anyway, thanx again. You probably understand what I went through to purchase it at last! :)

[kalniel]

heh no problem - hope you are enjoying the pack at last :)

[TheLastInLine]

I do, I do.

When I want a brake of writing my book. I have work timing any single car with no tune in hc mode and writing tables with the times just to watch them.

Or some times i just stare at the cars. Some of them really love the HDR and look so pretty.

I'm so happy that i'm not even talking about bugs!!! lol! Anyway the rev bug in CLS was fixed!

[Malacaco]

No absolutely not - the carpack is not required for online play.

[SJ_INSTG8R]

Well the bugs have come back to bite you Atari...
I was having a blast yesterday. I downloaded the new Megapack, installed it without a hitch, and was off to to a dealership tour. I proceeded to drive the island from dealership to dealership buying up the new cars(I had 17mill so why not?)
Anyways I did The Island clockwise so the RUF's were pretty much last(I had a nice 30mile cruise in the Charger Super Bee to it)I was enjoying myself thoroughly UNTIL I got to the RUF dealership.

I buy myself the first one and fire it up outside only to, thats right you guessed it, SILENCE!!!! :mad:
My sound card works FINE and is in 5.1 mode ALL the time and ALL other games work fine. TDU is now a 2.1 game at best....
So I shut it down in anger that this is STILL a problem and force my sound card to 2.1 speaker config(sad that I have too but I cant hear the RUF's unless I do)
So NOW Im in 2.1 and well fine I can hear the Porsches now that I have dumbed down my system to cater to your mistakes. So I head out from downtown to the Lambo dealership ion the East side as the last car I needed was the new Murci Cabrio.
No problem but NOW I get the HORRIBLE engine noise clipping that I have heard about(yeah great tape and string solution to a problem that should have never occured....)
The sound was PERFECT before the patch.(The people who had issue with the sound previously, YOUR sound cards were set up wrong not MINE...)The patch made one of the most lush sounding 5.1 games for Cars to a pathetic stereo experience with the audio clipping so badly it almost intolerable to listen too.

So my choices are 5.1 which amounts to just 3.1(I think the centre still works..)And utter silence from the rear(in the speakers AND in the game)

Or 2.1(forced thru my speaker settings as TDU as NO audio adjustments of this type) and have "all" the sound but forced to listen to it constantly clip and stutter.....

Cmon guys Im now forced to make another install without the patch and stay offline and start over from scratch(which I have lost count on how many)
JUST so I can enjoy this game the way its supposed to be and get to hear all the new cars the way they were meant too be.

YES the way they were meant to be(see here we go with how you have burned yourself...)
IF the Porsches were "new" then somebody shoulda tested the fact that at "Default" settings their engine sounds are in the REAR and your BROKEN SOUND makes that IMPOSSIBLE to hear them in the games current state WITHOUT resorting to your OWN methods of fixing the sound.... :nono:

[kalniel]

The clipping and stuttering seems to be a problem some people's computer's have running multi-cores - try setting the TDU process affinity to a single core and see if it goes away.

[Be_johan_tb]

The clipping and stuttering seems to be a problem some people's computer's have running multi-cores - try setting the TDU process affinity to a single core and see if it goes away.

Yes it goes away, BUT when I do that I get Framedrops (tested). My conclussion I stick to 5.1 and when I drive a RUF I set the camera angle behind the car (very Arcade I know). madred:

[SJ_INSTG8R]

Yeah I have just basically resigned myself to setting it to 2.1 and chucking a playlist in my Radio folder and put some music on to try to drown out the clipping...I just really wanna enjoy the RUF's

I am gonna have one more try using 5.1 and the Creative CMSS and see if it can pick up the lost rear and reproduce it(I use TrackIR so in the RUF's if I turn my head all the way back I can hear them, and in rear view of course) so its worth a shot to see if I can sort it that way.

Actually the 57 Vette has a wierd one as well(tho it may be intentional and would be a good candidate for 6DOF for TIR)
If I look UP in the Vette the engine gets louder(so think looking over the windscreen perhaps?)
See its those subtleties that this game holds that is SUCH a shame has been lost cuz someone changed a line of code somewhere in the patch that broke it.

I know I go on and on about this but this game has/had some absolutley FANTASTIC 5.1 sound. It was perfectly balanced, when you played music in your car it was mixed nicely in surround just how it sounds in your car.
Heck even opening the windows was so well done you could hear the drop in pressure inside the car and the sound field opened up to the outside world PERFECTLY!. WHY EDEN WHY did you break such a BEAUTIFUL thing and why dont you fix it?
All these new cars with IMHO some even BETTER sounding engines.(Im not a Ferrari Man but I am loving the TR and the Dino they are a joy to listen to and drive) but sadly they are Mid Engine so they suffer from clipping in 2.1 when it attempts to shift sound to the lost rear channel They work "okay" in 5.1 as they are mixed to the middle.

/Rant over :respect:


EDIT:So I tryed out the RUF's with CMSS and no joy :noooo: CMSS acted no differently. In 5.1 I can only hear the engine if I turn my head to look back or in Rear View...
2.1 it is sour:

[F_Slim]

I don't get any framedrops when setting affinity to one CPU only ... but my FPS are bad anyway, have to run in 1024x768 without any AA to play ... my guess is, that if TDU would really support dual-core (not like "barely runs with it" but "benefits from it") TDU would run a lot better for a lot of people ...

[SJ_INSTG8R]

Well there is a "solution" of sorts. Its a perfect one for me anyway as Im all about cruising from point to point so all I want is the cars and great sound

See this post for details on how to use the NEW cars with the OLD sound 10sur10 :bravo:

That didn't work for me if I copy the 1.45a exe file into the tdu map the new dealers aren't visible and also you can't get in and at the old dealer you can see the new cars BUT they aren't selectable so..... its 1.66a for me.

If you read it all thru Johan(I did the same thing first as well and was scratching my head) You cant buy the cars using the 1.45a only drive them. You have to buy them using the normal version then go back to the old one to drive them. I even used one to complete an event.

Ah sorry excuse me misread that one. :o

[CLR-AMG]

Just heared a guy had a weird problem with the kawasaki from the pack, he says everything works normally, but he only couldn't see that extra bike. He saw the default bike instead...

Weird, anybody knows about this? :hin:

[SJ_INSTG8R]

Ah sorry excuse me misread that one. :o

Its ok I did too the first time :mefiant:

[SJ_INSTG8R]

Man that was awesome!! I just did a bunch of road exploration in the new Charger it was so nice in full song!! Man Im so glad that there is fix for this I cant wait to go buy more new cars and drive em around.
Its actually kinda cool this way as I have to complete my Profile to make the money to buy the cars so I get to do the game over again with the new cars included.

Now if only Eden/Atari would see our continued interest in this game(I wonder how sales of the Megapack have been?) And perhaps offer us one last fix to tidy up all the loose ends of an otherwise complete and wonderful experience for this genre :atari:

[RudieRaptorX]

however, i think it would be better to just list the basic car (the coupe) and make the convertible an option during the purchase process, just like you chose colour, wheels and interior. stats would be automatically adjusted.

i remember that there was a racing game that did it just like i described, but i can't recall which one. weirdblue

to list coupe and convertible (and possibly even more variants, as with the Gallardo) versions as separate cars seems like a cheap way to boost the total number of cars. the game promises 90 cars, but really it's only around 80.

The game you might be thinking of Fred_DM is Need For Speed 4: High Stakes; in which you could select that option for some of the cars, but not all. :respect:

[RudieRaptorX]

Actually, I think that's the best thing about the carpack.
Not many people will share my opinion, but it's just brilliant that the F40, the car that so many people want to drive and looked forward to can't be tuned.
At least people can't ruin that legendary car.
And I think that driving cars untuned is the better experience in TDU, especially in HC. I hope the F40 brings so much joy of driving it without tuning that it can convert people to drive non-tuned cars. :)

I agree with Orecaracing, at least partially. I'm a huge Ferrari fan myself and in my {humble} opinion I think it kinda spoils everything if you tune a classic car such as the F40 or even a car such as the Lamborghini Miura from TDU vanilla. I mean I buy those cars because their classics, if I want to tune a car I'll buy a newer generation car. But understandibly so, there are instances where you have to tune a classic car, I had to tune my Miura to finish a speed race for the G class and the Miura was the fastest in both acceleration and top speed in my arsenal, but just couldn't cut it standard. But overall I think classic cars shouldn't be tuned. :salut2:

You just do what I do and buy 2 of everything like that. I have 2 of all the classics(sometimes 3 weirdblue ) so I can have a stock and tuned model for either racing or hardcore cruising. OH and the F40 cant be tuned ;)

[RudieRaptorX]

Tnx for the tip on the F40; SJ_INSTG8R. I only read about that part later. lol
I'll take your advice on the dual models, sounds good. Tnx! :respect:

[Captain_Clutch_Kick]

Muscle cars all deserve tuning. They're far too slow top end. Nothing else in the G class does. In real life if I had a Challenger or some other V8, one of the fun parts of owning it would be to see how much power could be squeezed from the engine :)

to list coupe and convertible (and possibly even more variants, as with the Gallardo) versions as separate cars seems like a cheap way to boost the total number of cars. the game promises 90 cars, but really it's only around 80.The thing you have to remember though is a Coupe and the Roadster/Convertible/Spider are not the same car. The share certain characteristics with each other but obviously when you chop the roof off you have to sort out the structural rigidity to make the car handle without putting the driver into the nearest tree (BensonJutton style!).

Modelling the cars obviously doesn't really have to deal with this but again you have to remember that every model needs to be licenced, you can't say to a make like Ferrari; "look the F430 and F430 Spider are essentially the same so any chance you can only charge us for the 1?" *door slams* "guess not". A bit exaggerated yeah but you get what I mean.

IMO the more cars the better and I hope that the success and longevity that TDU has give to many will make more makes become available to us in the future. TDU could be the open world Gran Turismo (as in car variety, yeah yeah for the Daimler carriage!) that many many many people have been shouting for since who knows when !

You sure you entered the megapack serial and not the cd serial? Cuz that gives problems like this one.

I'm sure. With entered megapack serial (->Addon.txt) old save games doesn't work (problem in my first post), i am only able to make the new profile (working).

I'm having almost the same problem. Game works fine before megapack is installed. After it's installed, won't connect to the server, for both saved and new profiles. Offline saved profiles work fine. I'm running XP pro 64bit.

[Porsche-Design]

I had installed illegal megapack with key of my original game. But now i have legal one. I think that can cause that problems. I dont want reinstal the system and I want my old (good) profile, how to fix that problems?

The PC tech section the self help section for any technical problems - a problem getting the game to work is a technical problem (which could be with the game, your computer, your connection or whatever), not a discussion on gameplay etc.
You'll notice that it is still the PC tech section for Test Drive Unlimited so it is very much game specific.

Right, I have a problem here. I downloaded the megapack on 15/04/2008
unfortunately, I had a very very serious breakdown on my computer and the upshot of it is that I lost everything on the Hard-drive :cry: I know you can download the megapack again upto 6 times (where from?) but I don't have the serial number for megapack anymore (it was on an email that got destroyed on the Hard drive). Is there anyway to have the serial number sent to me again?

Has anyone encountered problem with sound, i mean the sound settings are all off.. volume on 3rd person view, gets very loud when in car and all other setting eg voice, music sfx etc are not as per before install megapack.
There are issues reported on other thread but more specific to Ruf engine sound crackling... are this two problems connected ?
:mefiant:

[johan_tb]

No that one is new to me. tonguegre Can't tell if they're related I don't hope so (I don't need another bug)

[Marv74br]

Have the same problem here... sound all low when off the car, all loud when Inside the car...

[king_maza]

can i use my test drive serial to activevate the mega pack

[penusliski]

No. U should get another key in ur e-mail shortly after u purchased the pack.

[king_maza]

but i was told by a mate that i could an he gave me the pack for free as he use his serial key

[penusliski]

He probably uses his own key he got after he bought it (did he?) but u have to get ur own. All other solutions are forbidden to discuss on this forum. Sorry.

[king_maza]

ok thanks ill ask him but im pretty shore he useed his normal thanks for the quick responce

[kalniel]

Oi! No free-loaders here. Show some respect for the people who try and feed themselves by making this software and buy your own copy.

[F_Slim]

I still have a problem with the fact that you can't see what car someone is driving when looking at the map (and he's using a dl-car, it just shows "car not downloaded").
I like(d) to see where my friends are and what they are driving, so I can choose a similar car when I spawn to them ... are there any plans to fix this BUG, or is there some kind of workaround?

[papercutout]

Bit of an odd one this, and sorry for it being my first post...


Got the games ages ago, since then I've rebuilt my computer, and installed it again yesterday, transferred my profiles over so I've got all my cars etc. But its telling me that I need to download an update to use my online profile. Follow the link and I just get to the megapack download/buy page. I've searched the net and installed the latest patch I could find (1.66v I think?), and its still doing it.

Does this mean I'm going to have to fork out the £9.99 for the megapack just to play online?
Thanks

[chemicalfan]

Try looking for it on fileplanet.com, or something similar.
You should just by the megapack - TDU is like half a game without it

[papercutout]

I had a look, and the only other thing I could find was the beta update. Which won't install anyway...

But my real question is 'do I now NEED the megapack to play online?', if so, thats one really sucky design.
If not, can someone pass me a link for the latest update please?
Thanks again

[Jeroen_O]

You don't need the megapack to play online.

But you do need patch 1.66. You can find it at:

http://www.gamershell.com/download_20182.shtml
or
http://www.fileshack.com/file.x/10845/Test+Drive+Unlimited+Patch+1.66A

I can't find the patch on the atari website.

[F_Slim]

The problem about the patch should be explained somewhere in the tech-section (probably even in a sticky) ...

[hunfatal]

Hello!

Anyone knows, is there any chance to Atari release the last X-BOX Pack (Diablo, A4 DTM, 350Z Roadster, etc..) for PC Users?

[DeltaRomeo21]

And, unless I'm very much mistaken (to quote the great Murray Walker), whatever happened to the Triumph Daytona motorcycle?

[DaChrist]

I didn't play TDU for a while. So when I heard of the megapack I decided to install it again. But now the game doesn't run well. I can only play it well at 640x480. At 800x600 it doesn't run well.

I used to play it at 1024x768 with 4x antialiasing... How is this possible? Could the megapack be responsible for this?

I don't understand it... and it really sucks :noooo:

[Marv74br]

That's your computer aging process... things that used to run don't run anymore... :P

[Arnout90]

Is it possible to buy the megapack in another way. Because I don't have Visa, American Express and MasterCard :(

[artkatallozi]

i just installed the megapack last night and it works fine on non internet accounts but when i try to connect on my internet profile it sais "failed to connect to test drive servers. please check your connection status and try again"
ive played so much and gone so far on that account
dont tell me i payed £9.99 to ruin my online gaming experience
please help

[dunc453]

is the megpack needed for online play now?

just read up a bit, dont reply to me

[HowardJ]

Been cruising about tonight for a little while. I do not have the megapack but I think my gaming experience is compromised by the additional cars. Whenever a player comes up in a megapack car I get to see the frankly horrible default car. Now I appreciate that the game has to be compatible and I have to see something but the default model for me ruins the experience of the game.

Ok so now convince me to purchase the extra cars. The Atari site mentions a patch included, does it improve or change the game play. I have to big gripes with the game, firstly is the big air and super low grip of hardcore mode which I think I can live with till TDU2! The second is the picking up of other drivers into my screen. When I regularly cruised with friends sometimes we would all get in the same session really easily and other days I would be chasing them around the map for literally hours trying to join the game and cruise. Has this been adjusted at all with the mega pack patch?

[Colster]

tbh No, the gravity is still off in hc but tbh I find the grip ok, if I turn in too fast it understeers like you would expect it to.

The servers are basically the same, sometimes ok, sometimes not

Personally I think the pack is well worth the money, there are some great cars in there.

[pyrre]

And just a note here, the patch coming with megapack is the same 1.66 patch which was released last year.

[QBSSHERMAN]

well i may have a small detail to add.
i love this game think it's quality but when the megapack came out i wanted it bad so i got it :nono: any way afther being kicked loads of times as my {downloaded content is not saved } :rolleyes:

i delited the radial file and started a new profile all fresh and having learned my lesson i was not going to do that again as my beloved TDU was broke.

so started online and guess what! i can see all mega pack cars and garages and everything else in the pack BUT! i cannot OWN any of the mega pack cars if you do buy any of them kicked from server so in a way this is a good solution as i am not able to use the MEGAPACK but i can see all :bravo:
eekblue: so here is my 2p worth

(thinks should i have said that):nono:
:atari:

[DanG323]

Actually, I think that's the best thing about the carpack.
Not many people will share my opinion, but it's just brilliant that the F40, the car that so many people want to drive and looked forward to can't be tuned.
At least people can't ruin that legendary car.
And I think that driving cars untuned is the better experience in TDU, especially in HC. I hope the F40 brings so much joy of driving it without tuning that it can convert people to drive non-tuned cars. :)

i agree with you completely, i love driving the cars with their true performance, usually i love modding because i own a lot of nfs games, but its kinda different with exotic supercars.

im hoping to buy the megapack soon so i cant wait to drive all the cars :updown:

[Polska111]

I bought the megasuperultrafail pack and for some stuuuuupid reason I was told to use the cd key from my TDU original disk to activate it. BEing the gullable klutz that I am, I did so. And now when I try connet to TDU server it says it has failed.

Ive tried reinstalling the entire game several times, all times have failed and give me the same error. I even tried using a different account. Pleeease help.

[Colster]

That's cos u used an illegal version.. go buy the real one, then you will have a megapack key, edit your Addons.txt to that key and restart the game and you're good to go

[Polska111]

I wanna revert the version back to standard so I can play that online and then reinstall cos my compy has issues when I did what u explained. I tried reinstalling. How can I roll it back so the standard works online?

Also, where is the Addon.txt file located?

Plllllleeeease help! lol. I cant live without this game!

[kalniel]

Polska111, did you buy the megapack and do you have an authentic key from metaboli for the megapack itself?

[QBSSHERMAN]

you need to get rid of your radial file and all cars you got from pack and start a new profile you will still be able too see the mega pack cars but DO NOT BUY ANY :nono: asthis will kick you again .

goodluck

[Polska111]

The copy I have was bought off ebay, I guess I put too much trust in the seller. How do I roll things back on this game so I can play the original un-moded version of the game? I dont care for the pack anymore, I will return it to seller and buy another one at a later date. I just wanna play the original.


By the way, people telling me to get rid of files is of no help as you arent telling me where said files are. Tell me the locations, and then its useful ;)
Just a hint...

then start new profile \

What does deleting the radial file do? In a nutshell. Im just interested now.

Also it did not help. I created a new user under the same email however. Does that make a difference? Or do I need to start a completely new account :(

[kalniel]

Please take technical problems to the PC tech section and keep this thread for discussing the megapack. Thanks :)

[JonnyHoonIt]

Flawed. sound for the RUF just doesnt work

[cervlll]

the sound for the ruf porsches work as well, but only with the 2.1 setting for the speakers theyre loud enough to be heard at the front bumper.

[pogostickio]

sorry Kalniel (hi kal!) but I gotta help this dude out.

http://www.magdeburger-kind.de/Downloads/radicaleng.zip

it's a file created for and used by the TDU server. If your game or pc crashes it usually gets corrupted. You can't play TDU again until you delete it so that another one may be created. :)

[rogpaz]

Is there any chance there will be a DVD-release soon?

I dont use a credit car nor similar so I cant buy a download, and tbh i would actually prefer an original disc to a burned download.

You can use Paypal now though.... dunno if that helps.

[BAN-0NE]

I am gearing up to do a format & reinstall on my HDD so I'm just in the process of backing stuff up. I recently downloaded the Mega Carpack so I can back that up aswell but I can't remember where I saved it too or what the file is called. Also will I need to activate it again?

Thanks

[Colster]

The file is called TestDriveUnlimited_BonusPackSetup.exe.

If you save the addons.txt and drop it back into c:\documents and settings\all users\test drive unlimited you shouldn't need to reactivate it (I can't remember if it asks for the key when you install the pack or the first time you run the game after installing it).

[Raeshko]

I know this problem has been mentioned a few times, but none of the solutions work for me. A few days ago I bought TDU and TDU megapack. After the installation of TDU i tried to create an online profile, but i did not have the newest version. So i installed the megapack and now it shows the "failed to connect" message. I tried reinstalling a few times, i tried the TDU serial and megapack activation key, i tried everything. I don't like wasting my money on a game, that focuses on multiplayer, when i can't play online.

[kalniel]

Raeshko, please visit the Problems/FAQ sticky in the PC tech section and then create a new thread there with your problem if it isn't fixed.

[F22GTR]

Hi I have re-installed my test drive unlimited after formatting my computer. I installed game and when I installed the megapack that I bought, it asked me for the key. I didn't know where I had put the key number at to activate the megapack. So I skipped it and didn't put any key in. The game works but whenever I drive a car from the megapack in the game, it gives me a message and my profile goes offline and reconnects to the server. I can use the normal game cars though. I know this happened to me before too. I have to put in the megapack activation key, which I found now. Problem is I can't figure out how to put in the key. I don't want to reinstall the whole game. I can't reinstall just the megapack. there is a location C:\programdata\test drive unlimited This folder is hidden but if you type in this address you will get to it. Can somebody who has installed megapack and is working, please go in this folder and see. There will be two two notepad files. You can open them. One is called CDKey which has tdu cd key, the other notepad file has your megapack key. Can somebody tell me the EXACT name of that file, which contains your megapack cd key. What I will do is create a notepad file and put my megapack key in there and save that file to programdata tdu folder. That should work. Can somebody please help me out?

[F22GTR]

NeverMind guys I figured it out. Just go in program files under tdu folder and there is option to activate add on.

[RealNGine]

You are lucky guys! I'm from Russia and local publisher (Die in Hell, "Akella Games") don't release megapack for russian version of game.

I dunno how they have done it but I have seen loads of russians online with megapack cars, maybe they just tried the EU or US versions? I'm sure some of the fan made TDU forums in Russia will have the answer.

[RealNGine]

I know this way of installing megapack. it must manual unpack Megapack and manually replace original files by files of carpack. after this game stays in english language. Russian version of megapack doesn't exist. And +ucking publisher will not make it. Publisher don't respect users, it is sh it.

ok thanks for that

[Xylagimio]

Hi, I bought TDU DVD few months ago, then installed the megapack, but two months ago I lost it because a format. Today I installed the DVD again, and the 1.66A, but don't have the email send to me months ago by Metaboli with the download link. I know they let us download it 6 times and activate 3, so I only downloaded and activated one, this is not a problem and I keep my Megapack serial, I just want to know the donwload link or where/who I have to send an email for let me backup my Megapack. Sorry for my english, thanks.

[v0nndutch]

Tenebra so if we run out of code's or downloads will you give us another code/download?

You need to contact the store you bought it from if that happens.

I forgot to post before, but finally I contacted Metaboli and they helped me sending back my download link etc, if you guys have any problems, contact him and they will help you as fast as they can (2 days, in my case). :bravo:

[TwinFlow]

Hey, im trying to get the megapack but I find im stuck at a stupid point. Due to Atari's strange website.

Im using a solo card, when I get to entering my details and hit to confirm button Im being told by the website to enter an issue number for my card. But there isnt a place for it to be entered!?

Ive already emailed atari about this issue .... but no reply . So i dont think i will be getting the mega pack anytime soon. ( Sucks cause my game is working a treat) :(

Just wondering if anyone here had that kinda issue?

[Textureglitch]

Seriously, the game is 3 years old now. I bought it in a bargain bin for 13EUR, which is less than what you demand for just the small expansion.

Also, why the big price difference between the UK and the EU expansion?
9.99GBP = 11.18EUR. Not 14.99 weirdblue

I was under the impression that downloading a game online meant fewer costs related distribution and packaging, hence making the product cheaper.

When it came out 10GP = 15EUR. They don't have live currency handling, nor do most places - you set a price per region and keep to it.

[LeadfootYT]

I'm considering switching PC's (hopefully the new one will have a 260 series GeForce card...), and after reading some discussion, I'm a bit worried. I've reinstalled a few times, and I was wondering if the Megapack realizes that it's on the same PC or a new one. I don't want to run out of codes...

If I do run out of codes, where do I contact them on the site for a new one?

Thanks!

-Leadfoot

[kalniel]

You should have a support email address - email that :)

[Rayden]

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but any news on the last Carpack.

Or even a special edition of the game

[xstioph]

Has the megapack had the same prize since release? I mean heck, it costs 50% more than the game itself.. Call me cheap, but I seriously don't get it. 5€ seems like a reasonable price imo. TDU can be bought for about 10€ here in Sweden. And the megapack is at 15€?? It's just crazy. :)

When the Megapack was released it was a very reasonable price, but unfortunatly over time they haven't reduced it to comply with the budget price of the game. if they reduced the pack to say £5 or something then that would be much more resonable.

Having said that I was hoping for a Special Edition of the game including all the XBox360 packs :cry2: sour:.

[WhiteSnake76]

I just installed a new Harddrive, wanted to re-download the Megapack but the Metaboli Downloader comes up with a message: "Unable to load list" and it does not download the Car Pack...

Any solution or place where i can download it from directly?

[MrNDG]

That's what happened to me too :(

[rev001]

Hi there!

I downloaded megapack back when it came out. Got an activation code in e-mail with some other details. Everything worked fine, until now, when I installed it on my new windows. The problem is that I lost that e-mail with my old e-mail address which I'm not using any more. So I have a nearly 100% save with the megapack cars, but I can't install megapack, cause I lost the mail with the key in it. Any tips how to get the code? I also forget the site's name where I bought the megapack.
I was thinking of checking my bank's transaction history for the name of the site. Any other tips? Thanks in advance.

[Brendon801]

Yes... i lost mine and tried one on the internet and it wont work :S keeps disconnecting me

[pogostickio]

are you trying to get banned? saying stuff like that is rather mature and honest but it's also not a good idea if you want to keep asking for advice. You can't if you get banned.

I'm helping another guy out with the same issue at this thread, right now in fact.

http://forums.eu.atari.com/showthread.php?p=2097923&posted=1#post2097923

And he used a megapack addon cdkey that is already in use. And that's the reason you now can't connect. The Atari Server knows that your copied megapack code is in use so it won't let you online.

Uninstall the original game and remove all the remaining files plus the illegal megapack cdkey (use the advice in the link above) or else you will not be able to go back online.

[pogostickio]

And anyway... if you love the megapack so much then... buy it again? Why not. Come on guys, how much do you usually spend on a game? £20? £30? Spend a tenner and come join everyone else online in TDU. It's not that bad an idea y'know. I mean I know a guy who's not old enough for a credit/debit card so I bought him the megapack. And before I played TDU I never knew the guy!! He lives in another country! I'll never meet him! And I threw him a tenner!! Reminds of this one time (at band camp) I was drunk at the weekend and some random guy was complaining he couldn't see my megapack car. So I bought him the megapack too. Yep. Don't do it kids! Drinking's bad, m'kay!?

It's just an idea, if you (like me) love this game so much. Spend a tenner. Go on. And no I don't work for Atari or Metaboli. :)

[rev001]

Well, I don't play it often, 1-2 times a month maybe, I'm actually more of a sim racer, but sometimes it's good to cruise with the Magnum Ferrari in the mountains. Also, I'm really damn broke right now, so no way I'll buy it again. If it was LFS I would, but no way I'm paying again for such a buggy game.

[WhiteSnake76]

I got a key and everything but the Metaboli downloader gives me an error so i can not re-download it...

Just want to know if theres a way around the Metaboli downloader or how to fix this problem...

[click9r]

Hi...

I purchased the megapack today, but i got a couple of questions...

Is the file only supposed to be 1,20 MB?

I tryed to see through a few posts but couldn`t find how long time it takes before you`re given the activation key. The email says a few hours. Anyone knows the average time (or ca.)?

Thanks :)

[MrNDG]

I received mine straight away, as far as I can remember. And about the file, I'm not sure but I think that the Metaboli Download Tool (downloader) is 1.2MB indeed. After you get your key you can open the Metaboli Downloader and download all the stuff. I'm not sure about that so it will be good if someone can confirm. I can't really remember.

Good luck ;)

[click9r]

Thank u for the answer MrNDG ;)

Since my bank account has NOK.136.08 (i guess thats about 14.99 €) less then before i purchased it then i hope its right around the short corner :D

I see a couple of other guys also have had this problem but didnt get any help, so i hope i can get help.

The Metaboli Downloader says "Unable to load list".

So i cant download the Megapack weirdblue
Whats up with this?

[kalniel]

You need to email the address for support - they've got a problem with their download links I think (for all games) and they'll send you the correct link over email.

[Planet2Side]

Aha! I found a solution to the "Unable to load list" problem.

First you must get the link that was originally given to you (to download the dlm), it should be in your e-mail.

Right click on it and copy the link. Now you want to paste that link back in your browser (or your own download manager if you have one, ie. flashget) and change the last 3 letters at the end of the url "dlm" to 1. So the last few characters in the url should be "fichier=1" instead of "fichier=dlm". Executing this URL will give you the full installer for the megapack.

Note: Do not distribute the link you have, it is unique to you and if someone else uses it, it will use up your limited downloads and if many people use it you might get in trouble!

I didn't discover this on my own but from this post http://forums.eu.atari.com/showpost.php?p=2113540&postcount=37

PS: I only just got this game, so if anyone wishes to race against a beginner or just school me. :P I'll probably be roaming around under my tdu nick "Tryosaurus"

[mate0377]

This megapack is ridiculous. I bought it then I tried to download it but it didnt work with that stupid metaboli download manager (I've tried it on two different PC !!)

[shadleigh]

I just got the megapack. I had no problems downloading and installing/activating it.

My thoughts:

Why include the Kawasaki ZX-12R? The ZX-12’s engine is based on an engine that was developed all the way back in 1998 and has about 10 fewer horsepower than the ZX-10’s engine (based on an engine developed in 2004). The ZX-12’s successor, the ZX-14, has been out since 2006 and has a much more powerful engine, so why was the ZX-12 licensed in place of the ZX-14?

How did Atari end up licensing the 1957 Corvette as the “C1”? The fourth generation Corvette (C4) was the first Corvette the “CX” nomenclature. In fact, GM used lower C-numbers for other vehicles. The “C3,” for example, is a GMC ½ ton pickup truck.

Lamborghini Gallardo Coupe: Seriously, why was this car even needed?

Actually, that’s a thought that I can extend to a lot of cars in the pack. We already have a racing version of the McLaren F1, so why do we need two more? What does having five Lexus models (which are so slow that they won’t be used except once or twice for the odd lower-class challenge) add to the game?

The decision not to include the Diablo GT is also very disapointing.

Finally, the price: If we exclude vehicles that are nearly identical to each other (for example, the Spyker C8 Spyder and C8 Spyder T count as one) and the free patch cars, that’s 38 cars for $20. Half the price of the original game for effectively 38 cars is a little much! But, I guess it’s worth what people will pay for it, and I spent the $20!

Don't put in your TDU key. Put in your megapack key. Where did you download it from?

Hi all

I've bought and installed the Megapack, however when TDU gets past the Eden clip thing, my game crashes. I've reinstalled so there is no mods, but it still crashes.

Any ideas? :noooo:

Ive downloaded (please dont shoot me) the carpackage, ive installed it, it says that its ok & still i dont see any of the cars ingame.

when i go check the car map in my program files i can clearly see all those cars.
