How they still don't got a single update out is mind boggling. They fixed some backend stuff, but there's still so much that needs to be fixed in the game proper. Not to mention there's been a cheater at the top of every leaderboard on PC and they still aren't banned and it's been a week.
The worry is the Solar Crown only has 2k players at any given time or less. Its not cross play and fully only online. I juts feel like they really screwed up the future of this game with this absolute shambles of a launch. Servers cost money and with a low player count its not looking good.
This was my main complaint. They split the lobbies between regions and platforms, dividing the playerbase. Even if it's 2k alone on steam, it's even more less than that. These Devs killed their games and did not even fulfill the MMO aspect correctly. Racing games are NOT popular communities to begin with compared to other genres. These devs are very out of touch from these decisions and it's quite unfortunate.
Just have ranked play as : You walk up to the receptionist in the hotel and you go into any ranked lobby that you vote for what race is next outta 5 options.
Let's hope they have the iQ points to figure that one out. The game itself is actually solid it's just all the dumbahh design decisions that should have been thought out better
Honestly I feel like they need to do crossplay & take away region lock. They need better ways to level instead of absolutely grinding your life away. 2500xp isn’t doing it. They should bring back the used car dealer & we can actually sell cars. I hate that I have to spend all this money on a car I need for an event & then I’m stuck with the millions tied to it. They should 1000% bring back the Community Racing Center
For anyone having problems to see ur mates in free roam here is few methdos to try: 1: Both spawn in and then out of solar hotel, drive a bit but not too far from where u spawned, wait for about a minute, sometimes then will be able to see ur mates near u. This might work the other way too, go outside first then meet inside, move a bit and wait for a minute. 2: Spawn to gas station, meeting point, tuning shop or dealerships, drive a bit but not too far where u spawned or make donuts 😂 allso wait for a minute after spawning, this sometimes helps too. 3: If able to make and invite to a group, go to launch any race (excluding the time attack events) while in group, and after the race event sometimes u are able to see ur mates. Allso might be worth to try the 1 and 2 method after the race, that has helped sometimes too. It can be a bit inconsistent at times but these has helped us still. Hope some of these works for u guys too.
Had best cruise experience last night with my friend with who we used to play tdu1 and two. We bought old mustangs, left them totally stock and went for cruise. Damn we had such a good experience yesterday with proper vehicles and not some rockets. Wish they fixed graphics on ps5
I’ve been defending this game so much ,but I’m just getting bored ..they need to get rid of region lock, implement Crossplay and 32 people in a lobby at least … I hate when I drive to someone and then the whole lobby disappears just to put me in a different lobby . It’s so hard to come across people who want to instant challenge, only racing modes , no delivery , no drift zones , no elimination mode, they could add in no hesi highway battles . It’s a single player or multiplayer and you drive through traffic trying to get the highest score , cops and robbers etc
@GamerDaSkater how would that work even cyberpunk has more stability for higher traffic density than TDU 🤣🤣🤣 its such a shame traffic even despawns straight in front of you
Just did my first hour of this game finally. Surprisingly, apart from being stuck at the character creator which fixed itself after restarting the game and my net for good measure, i have not yet encountered any other problems. Granted i only played for an hour ill have to see if it sticks.
I really hope they pull a no mans sky situation, im extremely upset but ill give them a year because honestly this game deadass needed a year delay to be fully fledged
server issues are less but i have the problem since day one that the down half of the map nothing safed.... i was 100x at the ferrari dealer, restart the game and its grey again.. no players on the entire map........... i like the game but im pissed at this point
It's need to have PVP lobby like Forza Horizon with ranked and non ranked race with random car class each round would be great and need to be cross platform to get more people in server.
High stakes pot on xbox was stuck at 3.3mil and 200 winners (EU). I got 16500 cash out of it so it's just split between all players. Xbox lobbies are still dead. No matchmaking at all for me
The devs are kidding themselves they can ever make this a proper online game. The patch is suppose to fix th ai in races devs say. I think the devs only want it online to play tdusc for themselves offline will cut the devs off from the players.
I don't know how the coop works 🤔 i invite a friend but i can't see him even on the same location + when it works he dissapear after few minuits. Can someone tell me how the coop System works?

I wish I could get my money back on this title, I hate that to be competitive on the leader boards everyone is forced to use the same car, no point in grinding for other cars if we are only showing 4 cars in the racing events, no point in having teams every strong racer is avoiding the streets
I went back to the Crew 2 again after about a year of not playing and wow. Even though it's a downgrade in terms of the map compared to the Crew 1. The Crew 2 is honestly the best car game for exploration and variety of cars and vehicles. It feels more like test drive 2 than Solar Crown ever will. It even has houses sorta lol Motorfest is just meh, I get why you bored of it the map is not great at all.
The game does not have houses man stop it nothing is touching TDU houses except for TDU the only game that comes close is GTA that is the only game on console that can compete with TDU houses
@@redhunnid5142 Im on Pc and yes TC2 does have houses/Apartments And when it comes to exploration and a good map TC2 has it hands down stop capping. I was a late teen when I Tdu1 first came out I was there Gandalf I played more Tdu 1&2 than most people trust me. Easy 4k hours in Tdu1 and tdu2 8k with mods. Ivory Tower is the only studio to get close to what Tdu was and that's because it's some of the ex developers. Its literally the closest we have to tdu3. Lol
@@Monaco377 its miles better then this Test Drive release, but FH5 is also the weakest release of the franchise and pretty washed out in terms of fresh content and replayability.
@@lillexus5589 Its the only one getting fresh content at the moment, and all the entries essentially have a replayability factor due to to meat and potatoes being good, the driving physics. Yes the map is probably the worst, but the car handling is always going to be good. I was comparing TDU to Forza, not a Forza civil war.
I got a car to join my group, and then made him follow me to a ranked race, but it wouldn't let us in. I don't think he had a Supercar yet. Seems the only way to get someone in a ranked race still, but at least its a method. I also saw someone sitting on a ranked race, and quickly got there, and managed to get 3 in there.
The UK pot was 18mil when I went to bed with 11 hours to go. I got 14,000 as a reward. No idea where I placed. No way was there thousands of players to split that pot. Very strange rewards. (PC, United Kingdom)6

TDUSC is fun when you dont have any players since thats only way to play 'singleplayer' in this game
Just did my first hour of this game finally. Surprisingly, apart from being stuck at the character creator which fixed itself after restarting the game and my net for good measure, i have not yet encountered any other problems. Granted i only played for an hour ill have to see if it sticks.
Another issue with ranked is that people aren’t sticking around long enough to level up and get cars quick enough to compete.

Your not alone nothing from the bottom half of the map saves for me either besides road discovery and speedtraps
I'm taking a little break from the game currently I love playing it but man it's tough dealing with the same issues I've had since the 5th...
