Test Drive Unlimited 2 goes gold

Eden Games' simulation racer Test Drive Unlimited 2 has gone gold, Atari Europe has announced.

The PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 game will launch on 11th February.

Test Drive Unlimited 2 is based on an open world tropical island where rich people live. You'll be one of them. Through what's called M.O.O.R. - Massively Open Online Racing - TDU2 puts players in a persistent online environment, allowing them to team up and share achievements and creations. The game is always live and updates automatically. The new single-player "narrative mode" can be played offline or as part of the multiplayer.

TDU2 boasts realistic vehicles, vehicle damage, weather effects and a day and night cycle. You can customise your vehicles, acquire property, clothing and "all the accoutrements of a luxurious car-based lifestyle'. Ah, what we wouldn't give for a car-based lifestyle.

Eden working to eliminate TDU2 bugs

Atari has promised Test Drive Unlimited 2 owners that developer Eden is working as hard as it can to fix game breaking bugs.

The PC version reportedly suffers from a long list of technical problems that prevent players from logging in. Console owners have reported similar issues and in-game glitches.

In-game currency is disappearing and car wheels are the wrong colour, Blue's News reports.

TDU2 is a free-roaming racer that is always connected to the internet – where available.

In the game's official bug progress thread, Eden moved to reassure disgruntled fans that fixes are on the way.

"We're still seeing reports from players stating that they can't log in," said a community administrator. "Getting this fixed is a high priority issue for us and we hope to have it fixed soon.

"Additionally, we are also seeing intermittent connectivity issues with the PC platform regarding multiplayer connectivity within the game. These issues are being looked into as well.

"We'll continue to work on updates throughout the day. There are several fixes in the works that are scheduled to go live soon, once they have been finalized and tested by QA. The ETA on these updates is Monday evening, Pacific time at the earliest. Before these updates go live, I do apologize that some players may continue to experience login troubles, along with intermittent outages of multiplayer functionality and Casino games. Thanks very much for your patience in this matter. We're working as hard as we can to make TDU2 a solid experience for our PC players."

Buggy TDU2 apologises with free DLC

The first helping of Test Drive Unlimited 2 downloadable content - The Exploration Pack - will be free.

Why? Because a patch to remedy the game's many bugs has taken weeks to make.

"We really appreciate your patience in this matter and we would like to announce that we will be making the first premium DLC for the game free for everybody as a way of saying thank you," the developer said in a statement.

The Exploration Pack contains wrecks that need discovering to unlock a Lancia Stratos version Rallye and a 1969 Dodge Charger.

As for that patch: the PC version is live now, and the console counterparts are in certification at Microsoft and Sony. They're expected to "follow shortly".

What that patch does

    * Logging into the game has been improved
    * Once into the game the online network experience is now much more stable in all areas
    * Save games no longer corrupt
    * Existing corrupted save games will be repaired in many cases
    * Friends lists are now populated
    * Invites now work correctly
    * Clubs have been brought back online
    * Exploits to gain money have been fixed
    * Casino access has been improved
    * Players will no longer lose money because of the Casino bug

So many angry TDU2 fans on the xbox.com forums & Xpert messenger over the past month.

I'm sooooo glad the nightmare is over and I can go back to listening to people complain about Xbox LIVE not being free.
