EVERYTHING In Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown's Season 2 Update! (But Is It Good?)

Trying to see what’s wrong with a game that gives so much freedom with the cars in a car game

Alex please tell kt to make the roof removable on the aventador xago

Ibiza looks way better and got that TDU feeling more

The Lotus Exige cup 380 no longer sounds like a hairdryer btw

Ibiza and Hawaii should Have been remastered And just add some more cars to the game

Overall I am Loving it 8/10

Alex do you know if they have changed something in graphics? Because in Ps5 I have seen a big difference than before. Cars, trees all seem great. In tunnel cars coming from the opposite direction have different flashing lights. Moreover it’s easier now to reach FRIM lvl 10, because cars have stopped respawn in front of you, or change lanes all the time. The handling also feel a little different, especially in Taycan which is a bit slower now.

10 million dollar hats?! They better boost the race payout by 1000% then.

The R8 hp was 1300+ now it 700+

Clothing just another screw up how about they charge it to realistic prices what a joke of a game

I’m on Xbox Series X and since yesterday’s update i can’t play the game. It won’t log in on the start screen. Does anyone have the same problem?!

I was mad to see auto hazard lights still a thing.

The game is functional, but some things are unfinished or poorly implemented.

Steering Wheel Animation:

- Re-centering the steering is overly stiff and unnatural. I think it makes the whole thing look odd.
- Driving straight animation feels too rigid and doesn’t reflect road imperfections.
- When one hand hovers over the wheel instead of gripping it, it looks bad.

Controller Vibration:

- Lacks engine vibration feedback when near the rev limit.
- Minimal tire feedback while cornering unless drifting.

BUT I think I'm getting used to it now.

Graphics and Performance Issues:

- Sometimes fails to detect the 4060 as a 4000 series card, affecting frame generation toggling.
- Shadows look terrible, and reflections are rendered as large blurry pixels.

Cut Scenes:

- The first cut scene appears stretched on a 32:9 super ultrawide display.
- Other cut scenes display correctly.

Nissan 370z driving Issue:

- Experiences rev hang at 4000 RPM for a few seconds in 2nd and 3rd gears. Behaves as if the clutch is slipping, likely not an intended design.

Positives:

- Overall handling is so much fun.
- The map, even HK island is just amazing.

not gonna lie i came here to talk shxt! but the small things like hearing the other players radio while passing is looking fire and real and new map hub is looking very fire!

if they do cross platform and let u walk out to the stores and outside... it will be gta 6 before gta 6 and the will get more sales on game

Ibiza map is amazing! Along with steering animation it's a top notch! It even forced my friend to play with me and we had a proper cruise, like in old TDU1-2 times! Before S2 he refused to play. I like new sound of R8 Spider and the fact money does not decrease after 4 races. New radio stations are amazing as well. The vibe is there! Ibiza map needs to be expanded for sure.

Still there is a disappointment bcz they didn't fix misaligned steering wheels in more than 35 cars. MC20, Mito, Old GT40 have the worst examples. How was this ignored while they implemented steering animation... M4 sounded more realistic before the patch 2(not S2 but the patch). Now it sounds dull and too silent. Alpine A110 1973 and Merc AMG 65 are still a "silent hill" and can be barely heard when driving from the cockpit. SVJ sound is downgraded as well. Automatic hazard lights are still here - tons of feedback regarding this just ignored. Input lag is still here - if you hit keyboard button the steering wheel and pedals stops to respond and it takes few attempts pressing its buttons/pedals to make the game to see it again.

Need to fix frame rates for ps5 mirrors in cock pit view makes it unplayable in cock pit view

Damn, this game is pretty when you don't have to run it at all-low settings to get a playable framerate.

Really glad to see them fixing the transmission noise, did they fix the sound for the 918?

I think they must add people on races

Ibiza should’ve been the map from day 1 and they could’ve added Hong Kong as a dlc map but why go away from the TDU original roots is crazy. They also need to update graphics and get more modern day cars from over the last 5 years as well. If the wanna compete with other games. Like add Ferrari spider f8 or sf90 or Porsche gtr etc and make the pricing of the cars more obtainable I seen that a lambo for 6mil is crazy lol

I feel like this game won’t be fully ready until like year 2-3 hopefully by that time people are still interested. If you compare to games like the crew 2 when it first came out it wasn’t fully polished it wasn’t until more people played the game and as it grew that’s when it all came together from graphics to car physics etc. once they add houses plus garage space it will get better. IMO

anyone else’s 918 now 1400 HP? has it been nerfed?

You earned my subscribe, great freaking video, bro.

I missed driving on the right side Hong Kong map is too tight

I don't understand why the game gets so much flak like i get how much of the dna is missing but what most of these reviewers besides alex id say is thats its being made by a AA studio that made nothing but rally games for the past few years honestly for the jump they did im impressed yeah its got issues but i expected that given their history

I fucks with the game now idk what they did but I’m finally winning races and it’s nice to drive on the right side of the road

Bro the fact some of yall are still defending these people is wild! They gave us "compensation" and it's literally the worst car in the game and they made it worse because it's cc! The solar pass has the same exact paint as last season! All the good cars are nerfed! They raised the sp xp and lowered the xp from wins! Most of all they said we were getting Ibiza, we got 1/16th of Ibiza and we got what 2 new cars? The other cars are still trash!!! 😂 oh yeah they still have exclusive pvp cars when pvp isn't even close to working, and they also canceled season 3 so 100 days of nothing! These devs have ruined test drive! This game isn't gonna be playable or fun anytime soon! Who wants stickers!!!

They should add a aeroplane cut scene between islands like tdu 2

This whole game free yet?...

Alex I'm currently emailing kt racing paris about a noticeable fault come up in hong kong island. To fix the wipers in car view not wiping off pouring rain on windscreen it's no longer visible for driving or racing in heavy rain.

My slow ass never bought a 812 Stupidfast, literally the only reason I would have bought one was for that hilarious power figure. At least now it seems like I can just buy the cars I want to race

Alex I've emailed tdusc kt racing they've fast replied they're onto fixing the windscreen rain issue

Can anyone confirm how many districts are currently there in Eivissa? When entering a new district, I swore it said any number/10, but I can only highlight 5 or 6 districts. Maybe the map will be expanded a little later? The play area barriers are a little weird.

Does it still
Look crap on ps5?

I still can't change paint colors, always gives a lobby error on PC still. Was hoping this update would fix it. Does anybody have solution?

Still a. Boring game

I love how they say fixed to some of the cars, but they nerfed the shit out of some of them lol….

Looks great! Good video Alex. The new island and the update kinda redeemed their project and I still have hope it will get better in the next updates! Totally agree with you I still have not gotten the game until they make it a true TDU!

Hi Alex, I wanted to play on my moza r5 url, but I had a problem, I can’t set the degree value to more than 360, for some reason this item is not available for change. Have you encountered such a problem?

Please stop supporting these pre alpha games released as full-fledged games, it makes more and more devices do the same

They should do the United States in its entirety, one to one ratio

I know how hard it is to do the entire world, but they should try to do the entire world for one of their new games. I know how many terabytes it will take up, but what if you can actually shorten the size without reducing quality

Do you play it on 30 or 60 fps?

so jealous of that R8 Spyder...

They also moved the radio station and song title to the right instead of on top of the minimap!! Probably the best qol of S2 imo

To be honest the time to test drive a car to see if its good or worth it. Is still too short, should be like 5-10 minutes drive so you can test all different sort of roads. Compared to real life, 2 minutes is nothing.
