How-To-Play On-line

Your only way to play on-line is with Project Paradise.

You will be able to see each other in freeroam, but several microservices are still unavailable.

The project is not open-source, unfortunately no one can easily contribute to it.

Regardless, we cheer Project Paradise on. Enjoy life on Hawaii with the chill Test Drive® Unlimited community.

Notes

• The 1.66A patch adds two new vehicles: The Audi RS4 and the Nissan Skyline R34.
• 3DGamers and FilePlanet partnered with Atari, allowing their subscribers to beta test.
• The digital launch on atari.com, which happened almost a month prior to retail release, was troubled with difficulties. Atari ended up sending boxed copies to customers within a week as well as a 75% off certificate for their next digital purchase.
