Awesome thanks. I'm just waiting for team members to confirm entry before I enter us. Will get back to you shortly

I will do, before I do which cars are allowed since I couldnt quite see a car list of allowed cars on the site. I probably overlooked them but its best to double check.

We will most likely take part at beatnu. However we just need to find one more driver. I'll get back to you and let you know if we are definately in asap

Hey all! It's great to see we are still growing and growing! Hey to all the new members! Now that my pc problems seem to be sorted for now lol. I hope to race with you all soon!

And to anyone interested in joining feel free to pop in on our servers or forum!

it runs like poo on some high-end systems. bugs like i said.

Yep I can agree there, ran fine on my system then got audio bugs, haven't really experienced lag but it did kinda kill my system when I uninstalled it lol.

Here are the system requirements I found on the TDU forums. Don't know if they are 100% though.

Quote from Smurfen :

where did u see the new release date? cuz i have pre-ordered it ^^

Quote from Game :

Dear Mr Howell

Thank you for the following order placed with GAME.

Order number(s):
xxxxxxxxxxxx

As you may already be aware, the UK release date for Test Drive Unlimited has changed to 02-Mar-2007. Changes to release dates are relatively common in the videogames industry and are unfortunately beyond our control.

Don't worry, your order is still live and will be despatched prior to its release date via your chosen method of delivery.

I got that E-mail this morning.

I had the open beta working about a week ago, its great online but now my pc is dead too. Hurrah lol. Anyways didn't see it posted here so anyone planning on buying the full game the release has been moved from the 16th of feb to the 2nd of march which sucks! If it fixes the bugs in the beta then it will be a good game. But still doesn't have the kind of thrills you get when racing in live for speed.

I don't know about performance problems you all are having mine ran perfectly fine with a wheel and good frame rate, however I think I should warn you all as soon as I uninstalled the beta and rebooted I had an error come up saying "C://windows/system32/hal.dll is missing or corrupt" couldnt get round this so had to format. Just a little heads up. May not be the game but it was quite a coincidence.

Personally I'd go with 500 servers over anyone else! Doubt you would find the great prices and excellent service you get with 500 servers anywhere else

Hey! Good luck with your team. Although I had no idea you left ours until I was told by someone else. lol never mind Good luck hope you get the best out of your team

Sounds like a great idea to me. I'd rather people settled their differences on the track than with words lol.

I am sorry to hear that. I must say that I do not do the recruiting myself but this is getting out of hand. But I really would apprieciate it if people pm me instead of posting publically.

However that was uncalled for and I am sick of trying to stick my neck out for members that simply take the biscuit. All I can say is sorry mate. And we are not recruiting anymore members without a full trial. It just isnt fair.

Quote from LFSn00b :

And racerhero, how do you know that im faster on other tracks, you seem just to drive in the crappy oval with your crappy BF1. Don't start a flamewar against BTU and CR.

Don't worry there isn't going to be any flaming. If there is people will find themselves dropped from the team. It's not the behaviour I wan't in my team.

Hmm racerhero that wasn't very nice now was it? How do you know we are the better team? We haven't challenged any other teams yet since we are fairly new just like LFSn00bs team. Give other teams the respect they deserve mate. sorry LFSn00b and good luck with your team buddy

Just like to welcome all the new members who have joined recently! We now have 5 servers up and running and glad to see them populated Drop by on the website if your interested in joining.

Yeah, sorry for my replies but the last thing I want is for all my hard work to become a joke. I have analysed the replays of the events in question and I do not see that evilgeek is in the wrong whatsoever!

So all I can do is say sorry evilgeek for your experiences in our server. You have an apology from me as one of the owners and I will do my very best that events like this will not happen again.

So I will personally take full responsibility for what happened and hope that you will accept an apology from all of us at beatnu. It saddens me to see things happen like this. If only I had 4 pc's lol and no need for sleep

Ha I knew the little kids would come to flame... illepall Very mature.

Ok I have just found out about this, and I am asking admins wether this is true or not. I cannot be on the servers all the time so I appointed several admins and believe me if i find out the culprit I WILL remove their admin rights.

I do not wan't this kind of reputation for my team, we have 4 servers running and it is not humanly possible for me to monitor them all. You cannot pick out a whole team for one admins decision. We have 6 admins on the servers not all of them will act/do as I do, I clearly explained to them how to act in a server if what you are saying is true then they have breached my trust and I will not tollerate it. I have put so much effort into this team and I won't see it all become one big joke.

Thank you for reporting this I am currently looking into it.

EDIT I have just been told by 2 of my admins that were in at the time that you was wrecking and spamming after being told several times. I can't tell wether this is true or not as I have no logs but somebody isnt telling the whole story. I wan't to know what happened but obviousley if anyone was lying they wont tell the truth but I would kindly thank the rest of you not to start flaming us until you know the full story, one member isn't the whole team. Those of you that run hosts will know how hard it is to keep order, I am a laid back admin only ever kicking one person but others are different and how can I possibly monitor 4 servers at once?

Thank you.

Hey thanks for being so patient. His ISP is NTL 2mb cable broadband which is actually the same as what I use and I have been using lfs for months with no problems. I don't know if there will be a solution to this but he has just informed me that he is using a pretty low spec pc but I can't see how that would have any effect

Hey no it says timed out everytime he does the tracert. He has just got into my online server and raced about abit which is great however he is timing out alot the same with when he comes on my teamspeak server he times out every 10 mins or so. Im no good when it comes to configuring routers so I am unable to help him with that.

Thanks for a swift reply. He is behind a router, he is unsure about the details as he can't access it and as I am not able to access I can't provide much information, Should I try and get him to change security settings forward certain ports? Sorry I don't know much about them as I was barely able to set up my home network lol
