Coming back to the troubleshooting article, here are some fixes and solutions for some common problems you may experience with the game. In fact TDU 2 looked more like a mash up between a racing game and ‘The Sims’ rather than a pure racer like its predecessors – I wasn’t a fan of the newly introduced ‘social features’ but credit to developers for trying out something different than following the same old formula. I’ve had the opportunity to try this game out on the PC and for me, it was nothing more than a mediocre racer.
TDU 2 is the 10th installment of popular Test Drive racing game series and the sequel to 2007’s Test Drive Unlimited 1. And the degrees won’t change at all.We’re a little late on this one but here’s the routine troubleshooting article for Test Drive Unlimited 2. And when I change anything from the Profiler, I get this revving bug again and I have to replugg the wheel again. The thing is, I can’t fix it and almost makes no difference at all when I change the ingame settings. The wheel can only turn 200 degrees and have a h**l of a force feedback, which I find quite annoying. After figuring a bit, I finally found a way to stop this by simply unplugging and replugging the steering wheel. When I got to TDU2, my car, just as the other stated, starts revving and I can’t get anywhere. It worked flawlessly, however I had to use combined pedals for some reason.
I installed Test Drive Unlimited and Test Drive Unlimited 2 (Steam), and started fixing up TDU. However, for a while ago I got a new PC and stopped using my G27, untill now when I had the feeling to get up from the cellar again. I have previously played TDU2 with my G27 steering wheel, had a little problems with setting it up but at the end it worked out quite well. I recommend leaving them at the default, which is actually preset specifically for the Logitech wheel. The other settings would make sense if this were a simulation. Whatever this button is meant for, it sure doesn’t do it with the G27. Moving this slider up actually decreases steering to the point where your car will drive straight no matter what. I suggest you leave it.Īlso avoid adjusting Steering Sensitivity. With this slider all the way down, you won’t feel anything in the wheel when going in a straight line on asphalt. The Vibration feature may sound corny, but it actually allows you to feel the rumble of the road itself.
You can select up to the full 900° steering, but it will take you all day to turn a corner! This is not a simulation game, so I set mine to 200°, which matches the cars in-game. The steering rotation is handled by the Logitech Profiler. There are some basic tips below or you can refer to my advanced options article for full details. For the purposes of simply getting your G27 setup and enjoying the drive, you actually should not mess with these. You will also find “Controller Configuration” under the control options. Steering, pedals, and shifter are already set correctly so don’t bother with those in the options. However, you must launch the game using UpLauncher.exe.Īttempting to setup the Profile with UpLauncher.exe won’t work with the game and it will ignore any settings you change.Īlso, the wheel buttons get pre-mapped nicely. The game runs on TestDrive2.exe, so this is the file that the Profile must be created under. Unlike any of the previous 12 games detailed in this series, you cannot start this game directly from the Logitech Profiler.

This article will also apply to G25 owners. TDU2 continues the tropical island open-world theme from the original Test Drive Unlimited. TDU2 was developed by Eden Games and published by Atari. Here, I cover setting up your G27 racing wheel to play Test Drive Unlimited 2. This article is part of our series: The Logitech G27 Racing Wheel for Casual Racing Gamers.
