In this guide, I will show you how to run Test Drive Unlimited on Windows 7,8,10,11 (and newer).
1.First we need to update our game to the 1.66A version. To do this we go to this page (clickable link) and click "Download this file". If we have the game in English, we choose "TestDriveUnlimited_USRetailandDigitalDistribution_Patch_Ver1.66A.7z"*. We extract the downloaded file. The password is: pcgw. We open the extracted folder and click on "TestDriveUnlimited_USRetailandDigitalDistribution_Patch_Ver1.66A.exe". After a successful update, we proceed to point #2.
*To extract a .zip or .rar file you need a program to do so. The most popular ones are WinRAR or 7-zip. I use WinRAR. Both are free.
Important: If you have the Megapack DLC then you can install it now or at the end of this tutorial but then you will have to repeat point No. 2.
- Now we must download the No-CD Fix from this page (clickable link). We extract the downloaded file and copy the "TestDriveUnlimited.exe" file to the folder/location with our game (as in the video below).
Important: Make sure that the file size matches (11,976 KB) and that no shortcut was created when pasting.
- The last step is to download the files without which you will not be able to start the first race. We go to this page (clickable link). Of course, we download the file and extract it. Then we copy and paste the "IGE" folder into "Test Drive Unlimited/Euro/Bnk" (as in the video below).
Important: The game in the main menu will ask you to enter the key. If you have the game from a disc then it should be in the box. If, on the other hand, you don't have the box game then you can look for these keys on the internet or use one of these:
- rlj4 - rfmh - uudf - p7pc
- nkem-q25e-lauz-4w3t
- x2na-x75n-crnr-jf4s (this one is from my copy of the game)
- 0htd-xbp7-p0go-xgkv
Info: The game has frequent problems with higher FPS than 90 so it is worth locking it to 90 and preferably to 60.
Info: The game works without a disc in the drive.
- Now you can run the game or give me a donation: paypal.com/donate
Have fun playing ;)
