What's new in Test Drive Unlimited Patch 1.66a

Mar 17, 2015
  • The Test Drive Unlimited PC-DVD patch has been released following the successful completion of the standard rigorous testing procedures at Atari to ensure the highest quality possible for the players.
  • Included with the patch are two brand new cars completely free, the Audi RS4 and Nissan Skyline R34.
  • Players must not tweak any of the files of their games, even save games, as it may prevent your game from launching / connecting online.
  • The patch features a number of improvements and addresses a number of important issues, including cheat prevention, as follows:
  • Anti Cheat measures implemented throughout the game
  • Fully reworked save system. Profiles can not be corrupted anymore (note: players will not be able to load a corrupted savegame.)
  • Fixed crashes and improved stability everywhere in the game
  • Fixed bug when a 'New game' is created with an online profile (remanent information)
  • Improved online code (better management of lobbies, optimization of freeride sessions, “isolate” feature of the free ride improved)
  • Fixed various bugs in drive in (linked with scores and cars)
  • Fixed traffic cars flying around
  • Fixed bug on multi-threading code
  • Fixed some crackering/stuttering sound issues
  • Fixed bugs in photo mode
  • Fixed some corruption on car graphics
  • Improved volume balance and bass power
  • Performance issues with Saitek2600 controller: Atari is aware of significant loss of frame rate if the user removes the Saitek P2600 controller during game play.
  • Performance issue with MS Sidewinder Wheel: Atari is aware of low frame rate with MS Sidewinder. Please note that Microsoft no longer supports the use of such peripheral under Windows XP.
