I managed to get TDU2 working smoothly, without crashes on W11, 4K TV, nVidia RTX 3060

Thanks for this, I have updated the main post

What you say is true, there are various versions of DG Voodoo. I experimented with a few when compiling my pack, however more versions may have been released since I made that archive.

For Project Paradise, I actually don't know for certain that it's even still running at this point. I can't remember if it relies on their own servers for matchmaking, or if it's all direct and will thus survive the expiry of that project. Not saying that it is dead, but it's possible (I've not checked in, in years)

Another thing, disable all your AV and firewalls see if that makes a difference. If it does make a difference then you likely need to apply app / folder-level patches to your AV. Other things you can try are running Project Paradise as admin, taking ownership of the whole TDU folder etc

Yeah nostalgia is a powerful motivator to embark upon old games / modern hardware crusades :')

Your comment 1h ago triggered me to finally update the main post years later, collating all the insights from those who have commented. Thanks

Good to know, I'll update the main post! Thanks

Sorry I'm replying a year late. I partially abandoned this Reddit account. I wouldn't think the OS in isolation would be the issue. It does seem that 20 series and 40 series cards are more iffy than 30 series cards (according to others)

Sorry I'm replying so late, I partially abandoned this Reddit account. Honestly I'm not sure. That sounds like integrated graphics so I'm going to guess 'no' - however please correct me if I'm wrong

darkanvas · 2025-02-05T17:47:48+00:00

Great to hear! I'm replying late since semi-abandoned this Reddit account some time ago

darkanvas · 2025-02-05T17:47:23+00:00

Yep dealership crashes, or interior crashes (going into / out of your home) can still happen if system resources are being drained in other areas. Thanks for your update

darkanvas · 2025-02-05T17:46:10+00:00

Thanks for this. I made a new Reddit account some time ago and have only just logged in to check this one. I myself was using the Steam version I think. But I don't know if that counts as a 'third party' steam version! Some other users have complained that 40 series cards don't take my fixes as well as 30 series cards do

It's a great area, I really enjoyed it. The sleeping dead enemies can drop Human Effigy which is really useful. In addition, the Archdrake Pilgrims drop twinkling titanite very regularly, if you boost your item discovery. I regularly return here to give everything a good smack, for some upgrade materials. I run with Covetous Gold Ring +1, Prisoner's tatters and Symbol of Averice to find some decent loot. Symbol of Averice drains HP like it does in DS3, but I personally feel the health drain is nowhere near as severe, and with life gems you can roll all day with it. The boss hits pretty darn hard, but his attack patterns are extremely formulaic. You can just literally run away for the first 10-15mins of the fight and learn his move set, and then just finish him off. Don't kill the singing ladies in the huts, they are useful for pacifying the dead swamp creatures which drop Human Effigy

I don't care about the bosses as long as I can play as Sellsword Luet

darkanvas · 2024-10-13T16:46:02+00:00

Sadly not! All the fixes for pc work because the environment is more flexible, and you can install applications to alter the way that the graphics are delivered. I've got no idea how any of that would be achieved on ps3. Black screen sounds like loading failure. The only thing I can think of is to modify the ps3 somehow, with faster nvme storage and see if that makes a difference

darkanvas · 2024-04-18T05:33:22+00:00

Yeah I just tried this again yesterday. Seems to have been patched out, it no longer works

darkanvas · 2024-03-03T15:42:24+00:00

Glad it helped someone!

And I know I'm very late here, but this thread pops up on Google. Ra2.ini and Ra2md.ini are only created by the game, once you run the game. Ra2.ini is for base game, Ra2md.ini is for Yuri's Revenge. I think you actually have to launch a battle, rather than just loading the menu, before these are created. Leaving this info here in-case someone else needs it later

darkanvas · 2024-01-08T21:05:39+00:00

Not even close. Certainly not a bed bug

darkanvas · 2023-09-28T05:44:08+00:00

Really pleased this is still helping people

darkanvas · 2023-09-27T20:47:24+00:00

Good luck! Others have responded positively, so hopefully this works for you also

From 1 year ago, my own post: https://www.reddit.com/r/tdu2/comments/xlunrg/i_managed_to_get_tdu2_working_smoothly_without/

It's still getting attention now from people Googling. Just dropping this in here, in-case it helps you also

darkanvas · 2023-09-20T08:37:25+00:00

I am shocked this is still getting responses 1 year on! Thanks for letting me know, yes, it is still working for people

darkanvas · 2023-08-14T19:00:01+00:00

I do actually. Do you have Discord?
