Grabbed mine on the way home, $62 - After Trading in Call of Duty Black Cocks (got sick of the ludicrous amout of kids/cheesedicks playing it)

Not having much luck atm though - have played it for about an hour in the last 2 - it keeps freezing the screen and crashing out. Anyone else with this Prob?

Haven't seen any of that so far, just the problem with the Club & the TDU Friends List not showing anyone but still having fun with it.

Oh yeah & my save game corrupted last night too so I had to start over, lucky I hadn't really done too much to lose at that point :-)

Just found this posted up in TDU2 forums, things they knw of and are working on

The thread was started yesterday and theres already over 25 pages

Has anyone had the police call there phone . ?? seems to be the chase or be chased mode.. but not sure how it works ??

Had my screen not loading up properly, was not frozen but just at the start bit of music playing some cool scenes of my car parked over views, which was great except I wanted to play the game and not watch the scenery, tried going back to the dashboard and reloading as suggested, Then started to get corrupt save data messages,

so after a few attempts of reloading the game I found I could load it up with out being connected to xbox live by removing the wireless thingy at the back of the console and it would work fine, thanks reaper for this tip, Which is oh okay if you don't want to play online, so took my car for a drive got the game in a different save position while not connected to xbox live and then after switching the console completly of, rebooting waiting to get promted to sign in a profile yah it worked and was back in action, all working nearly as it should apart from the known problems.

good to see you past the loading screen..

I got the same issue for a while.. as i was having sound glitches in the VIP part of the casino .. so i redwnloaded thecasino dlc to see if it was just a corupt sound file when orriginally downloading the dlc.. after doing that i couldnt log back in..

WHACKED.. mate i checked the hotlap leaderboard in the casino and some reason your laptime is still not up ??? But really dont matter as we were 20sec's off the pace.. have no idea how they get around the casino island so fast .. But once u get into the VIP part u will find u can put up a closer time with the spyker.. as in the audi im currently pos 2100 but in the vip area i got 34th.. but i think that will change next time i look.. i think cause there isnt to many VIP"s YET..

ooo and i have worked out away to transfer money from one person to another.. if someone needs to send someone some cash..

Would be good if u could sell cars online and gift cars

what is this VIP thing?

When u play in the casino.. it has its own global scoring system.. same as in the game as u complete stuff u level up.. in game lv's to 60, Casino lvl's to 10.. when u level to 5 u become VIP Member.

in the casino u can level up to VIP Member and get access to VIP Lounge in casino.. VIP's can win exclusive stuff that cant be brought in the game..

U can sit in poker big cash win tournaments ( televised in game like u see on foxtel ) , Win Exclusive Clothes, House Furniture and CARS..

Present moment for all Casino Members, they have the abbility to do the hotlap comp in a Audi R8 Convertable ( car is in centre of the casino hall ) .. quickest lap wins the car.

In the VIP Area its a Spyker.. but not that ugly looking Spyker that is in forza.. its a diff model but from memory i cant recall what one..

do you need the casino dlc?

also im actually getting into this game. didnt like the start, the handling was soooo much different to forza it took me about 30 mins to get used to it.

and fyi

mcrow, if you preordered u should have a DLC code.. if not yes u will have to purchase the DLC.

I know what u mean.. the steering it pretty sensative.. U do get used to it though.. but i have heard it drives like a dream when using the steeringwheel..

After playing TDU2 for a few days.. i jumped on forza.. and found when downgearing to take a corner i would end up going up gears instead lol had to get used to driving on forza again..

heheheeeh

Heres a little something for thou's who cant be buggered exploring the island for all the photo shoot locations..

ill be getting it in about 3 weeks haha! ah spent A LOT of money on my camera on the weekend. more than my pay check go go savings.

i must say with the casino .. the server is still a bit up and down.. beter then the last few days but still playing up..

If you deside to gamble in the casino.. try play cash pokr games.. as u can get up any time and your credits will be added to your casino credit bank account.. Where if the server drops out in a sit and go and the game is not over you will most likely lose your credits u used to get into the game.. but your casino credit balance wont be effected.. only the credits u use in the actual poker game could be lost..

I have found that if you are playing pokies and u lost connection.. 90% 0of the time the credits in the machine will be added to your casino bank balance..

You can exchange in game cash for casino credits and vis versa at anytime.. no server connection needed.. So try and bank your credits when playing games incase of a server droppout.

From the TDU2 site;

Loyal TDU2 Fans,

Just wanted to stop in and give everyone a quick update on the steady progress that we have been making.

Last night we added new servers, which have provided incremental improvements towards online connectivity and multiplayer stability. We are also performing ongoing analysis of server performance to optimize the performance. These changes should result in a steady improvement over the course of the next few days.

Our primary goal right now is to complete the next client patch for all platforms. Our teams are currently hard at work putting the finishing touches on these patches. Our goal is to have patches ready for QA testing on Wednesday, February 16th, and to allow 24 hours of testing to ensure that everything is 100% functional. If the fixes check out, we’ll submit the console patches to Microsoft and Sony for approval, and release the PC patch immediately.

The goal of these patches is as follows:

•Improve login process to allow a higher volume of successful connections
•Increase online stability
•Address issues related to file corruption
•Enable Club functionality
•Address infinite loading screen issue (Xbox only)

Individual fixes from this list may or may not go live depending on the results of QA testing. We’ll keep everyone in the loop regarding the status of these updates. Expect to receive another update within the next day.

As a reminder, the DLC items missing from the PSN store for European players is a known issue. We’re coordinating with Sony to get these items back online within the next few days.

Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to share their feedback here on the forums. Rest assured that we have been working diligently to get these issues resolved, and are very grateful for the support that we have received from our fans during the launch rush.
