![]() ![]() Plenty of great games such as Driver: San Francisco, Blur, the CodeMasters titles you've mentioned and so forth will eventually never see the time of day in a legal storefront. It is an unfortunate thing that sometimes these are the only options available. I would advise not purchasing keys from grey markets that resell user submitted keys (not naming names here) as you both risk getting your Steam account being flagged as fraudulent but also giving money to scalpers which personally I find far worse than pirating. And it's why CodeMasters racing games disappear from digital stores after being out for several years. I expect that is why TDU2 is no longer available for sale on Steam. That's why racing games routinely get taken-down from stores after a bunch of years. So, after the license to use those car models expires, new copies of the game cannot be made anymore. Like you mention, racing games that use models of real vehicles involve licensing deals for those vehicles, and those licensing deals normally have expiry dates. Originally posted by Turbo Nozomix:Thanks for all the helpful information. ![]() Think Halo: Project Cartographer or Rising Hub. Like you said, the game is abandonware at this point and I very much doubt Atari will bring the game back as vehicle licensing is a massive pain and they won't really spend the resources on a single game so I think it's time for the community to provide support for the pirated versions and in turn ensure that the game will live on. If not the modding community could come together and release an all update pack that also includes the unofficial patches (which I know that only work on the latest build, not a 1.0) to work for the pirated copies. ![]() I also don't know if the community made launcher works well with said "acquired" versions and them being the 1.0. Odds are any version you get from out there is a 1.0 and not an updated version and wouldn't be able to update. Originally posted by Jej:Now I just need to figure out how to update the game and find a trusted launcher.The original launcher doesn't update the game for you? Is there an error or something? An original version would update but I doubt that an."acquired" version would do so. So, does TDU1 have better graphics, like it appears to in those comparison videos?ĭoes TDU2 have all the same events and properties to be bought as TDU1, or is its TDU1 island playable content completely different, or is it partially different?ĭoes TDU2 require any community patches or tweaks to work properly like TDU1 does?ĭoes TDU2 have to be capped to 60 FPS like TDU1 does, otherwise the physics and NPC cars will be sped-up? I also prefer the greener look of TDU1 as opposed to the drier look of TDU2, but that's not necessarily a graphical fidelity matter. The minimap is also detailed in TDU1 but in TDU2 it's just black and ugly by comparison, IMO. It looks to me like the vegetation is denser in TDU1, that there is more detail on hillsides in TDU1, and that TDU1 has atmospheric effects that TDU2 doesn't (like leaves and trash blowing in the air). When I look up comparison videos, it looks that way to me still now: When TDU2 released I wasn't that interested in it because it looked like it was graphically downgraded from TDU1. ![]()
