Couldn't get into the same server with a friend tonight, any advice? This is on the 360. I could see him on the map, sometimes, but I couldn't see his car.

Can't you create a party and always be connected?

 

[Neuromancer]

Yeah you'd think. I'd also get problems like it said that I didn't have access to the area my friend was in (the starting area), or it would tell him I was in a multiplayer challenge. Just crazy goofy shit.

You don't have access to an area if you haven't driven to it. I think its grey roads = not discovered, blue roads = discovered.

start a club and have your friend join it?

 

[Dice]

My dude is far more based and swagged out, what you know about a silky perm?

Roll down the window and let the perm flow, Yung Humma!

Whyy.. ssso.. sserious?!

Like I said though my friend was in the starting area, like in front of the used car dealership. In fact he was right in front of it. It should have been fine.

So is no one else having problems with this then?

Probably a good idea, unfortunately I don't have $50K. I'll try that though after I do a tournament or something.

Looking like a pimp from Memphis, swag = 100,000 trillion.

 

[ZootedGranny]

I had the same problem with the first game. I honestly can't remember the exact remedy, but I want to say we'd find a less populated area of the map and then try to join. I believe joining/creating a club also works.

 

[DuckRacer]

Wow, I just got a draw on 1st place with another racer. Same exact time, down to milliseconds.

Yep, twice. First time I was caught by a helicopter, second time by a regular patrol unit. It aint that easy to run away in this game, cops spawn everywhere.

I crashed into a patrol car three times before he actually started chasing me.


Then six other patrol cars spawned literally right in my vicinity and stopped me before I had a chance to get going.

 

[Dick Laurent]

been cruising around in the VW bug. anyone else unlock this amazing car yet? top speed at 121 km/h hehe

I was going to ask how far is the furthest anyone has gotten the F.R.I.M. thing. but then I just maxed it out at level 10, so.. I'm not going to ask that. aww, I was hoping it would go on forever.

What's the bank at level 10?

 

[Dice]

It's so easy to max it on the straightway that runs by the airport in Oahu. Gets you $4k.

Speaking of Oahu, they have a massive amount of highways for seemingly no reason, but I've only managed to find two clothing shops and two real estate shops after searching FOREVERRRR

I just want to buy a nice car for my next races and maybe upgrade my D8.

 

[Big-ass Ramp]

I'm feeling it just a bit more. Using these Xbox Controller settings from the official forums

Add this to the OP! Seriously makes the handling a lot more bearable for me.

[Fox Mulder]

so is there really any point to driving on all the roads in this game? There's no drive on every road in the game achievement so it only matters for mileage right? I've driven on every road in Ibiza except for a section of off road paths and it seems to be for nothing. I'm not going to do it in Oahu then if that's the case.

 

[jorma]

If you trade it in to ebgames in Canada within a week after you pick up your preorder, they'll give you FULL credit for it. Does that make you puke a LOT?

Why puke, sounds like a great deal?

Anyway, this looks like day 1 after all (day 1 being today in Sweden), i had so much fun with tdu1 and from what i've been led to understand - if you liked the first one you'll like this one as well.

 

[Dice]

I didn't have a problem with the controls before, but seeing as how I just drifted a 90 degree turn while staying in 4th gear, this must be better.

As you drive over higher percentages of the roads you get discovery points, which unlock everything there is to buy besides new cars and contribute to your overall level.

 

[Dice]

So are there a ton of A1 races or something to account for the millions and millions of dollars worth of things there is to buy? I drove the Enzo and it was sex in a biscuit so I think I'm just going to skip to the A2 race so I can buy it and get things rolling.

 

[Katana_Strikes]

Wow just got my pre-order DLC codes and they don't even work!

Anyone else having this problem?

 

[zorbsie]

My code worked. I downloaded the car (108k), but now I can't find it in game. It should be at the used car dealer. Every time I go it's not there. Is there another used car dealer?

Anyone get the casino DLC? I've already blown tons of cash there. I've been doing the random challenges and taking those winnings to the casino in hopes of doubling it. Hasn't happened yet. lol

 

[British Monsoon]

Yeah, I unlocked it this morning - it's actually got a really great sense of weight that I haven't found in a lot other cars. Any idea what the secret car for area 2 of Ibiza is?

Also, is there any way to sell cars won through challenges? They're filling my damn garage up with shit I'm never going to drive like a pink mustang or a 4x4 with 'Ryan' written on the side.

I got the casino DLC. I just haven't had time to play. Hopefully I can put more time into it over the weekend. I got the first license, did the first championship, did a mission and that is it. Can I re-do the 1st championship like 10 times in a row to get a ton of cash?

 

[Conceited]

Pretty funny look at the game;

I haven't even been able to play it. It's been down every time I've been on and they had horrible server issues yesterday. Maybe it'll fucking work when I try it out today after work, or at least sometime this weekend.

 

[derFeef]

Got it - first impression - let me cancel the "human" sequences.
But I am so happy they made the streets flat now. I mean, flat in terms of no more random polygon that catapults your car into the air.

edit: can´t log in anymore (PC) servers seem down :/

 

[British Monsoon]

Heh, some of those parts are still evident in Oahu - I drove 40m across the island yesterday and got launched into the air once and stopped dead by fucked up geometry at least 3 times.

I'm crossing my fingers for a patch to be able to skip cutscenes. Its like they didn't do any focus testing at all. The only reason you'd want to watch them is for a good laugh like in the GiantBomb Quick Look.

Someone please tell me it's only the Mustang that handles like a complete turd. It does a complete 180 if I so much as look at a gentle corner. I've lost count the amount of times I've restarted this time trial because a slight gust of wind brushed the side of my car causing it to go into a frenzied spin.

 

[Dice]

I bet he posts here and is lurking in this thread right now.

Time to buy an A2... Should I get the California to make a point that I have "made it" or would it make that snooty bitch Tess think I'm still low class and can't dream any better than just copying her? The convertible feature is pretty nice...

Anyway you should test drive the Enzo then go into cockpit view and look to the right. You're speeding along in this supercar and the Ferrari saleswoman is sitting there looking ready to take a nap, lol.

The starter Mustang does suck, but that trait is carried through all of the American cars to an extent. See my tips here:

But more importantly, change your controller settings to this (If you're using the 360 controller):

the camaro I bought does this too, but it's mostly from pushing the gas too hard through the turn.

 

[Diseased Yak]

For the last two days I haven't been able to play this game. After hitting start and picking where to save, it just sits there, playing music and showing random scenes from the game. It never actually runs it.

 

[abuC]

I really don't understand why I can't use custom music in a game like this.

What view are you playing from? I found that the way the camera swings in the interior view really messes things up, the cars seem a lot more twitchy from that viewpoint than the chase cams.

Christ, I guess I just got lucky and tried to play each time they were down.

Why in fuck doesn't it allow you to start an offline game?! Was this coded by a monkey who jammed a Sharpie between his ass cheeks and then backed up to a wall and danced to Lady Gaga?

Some kind of DRM thing? If this does'nt work whilst offlne I will be very annoyed.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

I wish this game would let me play.

Friday evening and servers down so I'm stuck on the initial start screen.

 

[FlyinJ]

You can play offline, but you have to make a special off-line profile, and start the game over. You can't use your offline profile when online and vice versa.

 

[dskillzhtown]

That's what happens when the servers are down.

Man, that sucks. I was looking forward to playing tonight. So you have to be connected to play single player?

thanks.

That's retarded... I am really enjoying the game so far.. I am not sure how some of you already got that much stuff lol

 

[clockpunk]

You can play offline, but you have to make a special off-line profile, and start the game over. You can't use your offline profile when online and vice versa.

You can play with the original (online) profile, but only if you don't conect to Live/PSN - which means unplugging the ethernet/wireless cable from the back of the console - warning: plugging it back in and trying to log in will return you to the starting screen.

Not a brilliant solution, but should still allow you to play without requiring a second save!

Yeah I have a slim and have to turn off the wireless connection, which means I have to then enter my encryption code every time I want to go online again. Bunch of bullshit to put up with for a game that got released like a beta. Why couldn't they just wait a month or whatever to get their shitty servers right

 

[NullPointer]

Add this to the OP! Seriously makes the handling a lot more bearable for me.

I'm actually using a different setup now. All sliders all the way to the left except for "speed rate" which I have all the way to the right. I think this is because the sensitivity adjustments are "backwards" with highest sensitivity settings on the left rather than the right.

You just have to experiment until you find what works. No matter how I set things up I still run into problems when taking moderate turns without accelerating. I tend to spin out unless I'm in a 4WD car.

 

[derFeef]

Still think I am only in control of the cars for 50%, hehe, but I don´t care. Crusing around with friends is the way to go, but I would wish the friendslist and joining a session would work properly.

 

[Dice]

Just got the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano. Oh my goodness, it is sooo good! I went around trying a bunch of the other A2 cars before I bought it and compared to them the handling on it is incredible and the brakes are more effective and it drifts like magic. It also has better torque and the speed ranges across gears are a delight for urban/highway mixed driving. I really like Ferarri interiors so it sucks that you can't turn off the panning.
