Test Drive Unlimited 2 patch in 2 weeks

"Issues are being dealt with."

A patch for online-fuelled racing game Test Drive Unlimited 2 will release in two weeks.

"Issues are being dealt with," reads a tweet from Namco Bandai marketing director Lee Kirton.

Over on the official Test Drive Unlimited 2 forum, community team lead GMDestra outlined the fixes and improvements set to hit the Xbox 360 version of Eden's free-roaming racer.

The patch will:

  • Improve login process to allow a higher volume of successful connections
  • Increase online stability across all multiplayer functionality
  • Address issues related to file corruption
  • Enable Club and MyTDULife functionality
  • Enable Co-Op races
  • Enable weather while offline
  • Address an issue where players can get a Lancia which has no car data (the patch should prevent this from occurring in the future, and restore players who are currently affected by the issue)

Test Drive Unlimited 2 has been dogged by a number of performance issues since launch.

The PC version reportedly suffers from a long list of technical problems that prevent players from logging in. Console owners have reported similar issues and in-game glitches.
