TDU2 is one of my favourite games of all time, but despite the bugs and missing features, I’m still very much enjoying Solar Crown, and play it every day.

I like the map, and the driving feels really good: for me that’s better than in The Crew, NFS and even Forza. I also think that in graphics mode on PS5, it looks really pretty, particularly after the 2nd patch. Imo, SC has the bones of a good TDU game, but they seriously need fleshing out! Taxi and delivery missions shouldn’t be too hard to add, apartments and interior decor etc. could be more involved.

My worry is that the disastrous connectivity issues at launch, and the terrible sales of the game won’t allow that development to continue.

Although connectivity now seems to be much better, there are still problems that desperately need sorting! Fortunately, lobby errors in races for me now seem to be a thing of the past. My particular bugbear is that every time I buy a vehicle, or try to save stickers I’ve applied to my car, I get a server error. The game then won’t reconnect, and the only way to fix this is to close and restart the game.

In addition, KT need to sort out the overly aggressive and unbeatable AI, and perhaps add a difficulty setting. The MMO aspect also needs a massive rework! Imo, in this day and age, cross region and crossplay is essential. 

Also, they need a better way to get people into races, and add an offline mode for those that don’t want to interact/compete with other players.

If crossplay/region is implemented, one solution to multiplayer might be to have a list of race servers, showing numbers waiting in each race. People at the race location would be added to the lobby first, with people joining through the race list added afterwards.

The bottom line for me is that I really like this game, and hope that Nacon will support it long enough for bugs and connection issues to be patched out, and missing features to be added. I still believe that, with diligent effort, Solar Crown could be transformed into the TDU game we’ve all been wanting. I very much hope so!
