🔎Future Fixes & Improvements
Similarly to the last patch notes, we want to continue to give you some progress and information on what we are working on for Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown. As usual, please understand that there are priorities given to some topics over others, and some are harder to investigate and solve than others, so no timeframe can be given currently unless otherwise specified. That said, here are all the future fixes and improvements we are working on:
  • Ranked Reward Vehicle Players have mentioned that the ranked reward provides an unfair experience in TDUSC currently as it is not optimal. Though we do still have plans to improve the ranked and PvP experience in TDU SC, we also want to assure you we are moving away from a ‘competitive first’ aspect, and heading in the direction TDU is meant to be. We can confirm we have not only improved how the ranked vehicle works, but also vehicle distribution as a whole. While we will be providing more details on this in the dev diary slated before the launch of S4, we can assure you, that you do not need to complete ranked this season to obtain the Valour early in Season 4; and all players will be able to purchase the Aston Martin Valour at the launch of Season 4. We are excited to go more in depth on this in the future!

  • Economy: Economy has been a big discussion in the community recently, and we are currently looking into the feedback players have been giving as well as the data we have. As we add more ways to earn money through things like missions, casino, and other things coming in Y2, we need to make sure we keep a balance, and you can progress the way you want, and earn money the way you want, regardless of the way you play. However, this is a very touchy subject, and it is not something we can fix in its entirety immediately, especially as the Casino will arrive next season as we cannot ruin the progression and make it too easy to earn money. We already have some ideas on ways to improve the balancing of not only money earned throughout all the races and missions in the game including the Crown Jewels, but also the progression of the game and the XP earned in both regular and clan reputation. We will discuss this further in the dev diary and provide more details on how we will be tackling this in future seasons releasing to make sure this topic is solved to the communities standard, and the TDU standard; which includes the topic of car selling, which we can also confirm will be seen in the future ahead of TDU SC, and we’ll focus on its delivery in the Dev Diary as well.

  • Other Fixes and Improvements: We went over quite a few improvements and fixes in the last patch notes and if you haven’t seen those already, there are many fixes from that which we have solved in this patch, with more to come in the launch of Season 4. You can find the previous Patch Notes here!
Our Final Message

We are currently working on the next big communication for Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown. This will be our next Dev Diary, and will include information about Season 4, our roadmap for Year 2, as well as many topics the community have wanted us to tackle such as the economy, ranked vehicle distribution, optimisation/graphics, network, missions, and more! We will provide more information on this in the coming months as we lead up to the next season of Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown! We advise you to join our Discord as we will be communicating with the players more as we continue to build the future of TDU! See you soon!

Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown - Nacon
This season replaces the aforementioned ‘Clan Wars’ update, to bring community requested features and show players the future of Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown has a smoothly paved asphalt road ahead! In Season 3, you can find the much-requested Car Delivery Missions feature returning, with more storyline detail compared to TDU2. A Solo Mode for races is also introduced, allowing you to choose AI difficulty and offering options like gameplay pause and fast restart. A new Navigation Mode adds a fresh challenge to the gameplay. Finally, Licence Plate Customisation lets you personalise your vehicles with various plate designs and preselected text options, which will be purchasable at the new Clan Stores. You can also find new vehicles such as the DeLorean DMC-12 (Solar Pass Level 25), the Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta (Solar Pass Level 50), and the Aston Martin Valour (Ranked reward), as well as the Pininfarina Battista (S1 Ranked Reward), which becomes available for everyone in the Luxury Car Dealership. We also improved Live Events so you can find 5 new races on both Ibiza and Hong Kong Island (previously only Hong Kong Island). We are also introducing, for the first time, a 50 level Solar Pass (instead of 25 in S1 and S2) and have decided to offer it to all players! Those who purchased the Gold and Silver editions of TDUSC will have their Solar Pass bonuses activated in Season 4.

It should also be worth mentioning that Car Delivery and Navigation Mode will offer a bonus 20% in rewards for Season 3’s launch!

Now that we’ve given you a quick summary, let’s go into all the details about what Season 3 will bring, and a slight tease of the future of Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown!

Contracts: Car Delivery Missions

A big part of the TDU DNA is missions, and we are happy to bring Car Delivery Missions first into TDUSC’s world! There are some features we brought from TDU2 that made this feature key, but we also improved various aspects of them. You’ll be able to find over 30 of these missions across Hong Kong Island and Ibiza, and we plan to increase this number in an update of Season 3. Now let's go into the details!

How To Find Them
Contracts is the official name of ‘missions’ we bring into TDUSC, the first being Car Delivery. Around both islands you will find these icons with two keys on them with various colours. These colours represent the rarity of the mission, and of course the more rare the mission, the less you will see it, but if you do, it will offer you some great money! In reference to the screenshot below, you can find a timer countdown on these icons. Similar to TDU2, when the timer gets to 0:00 before you accept the mission, the mission disappears and is replaced with another somewhere on the map. You can find a total of 3 missions at a time on Hong Kong Island and 2 missions at a time on Ibiza with different rotation times. Some other things to notice is missions will have different client requirements; which affects how quickly damage can be taken on the vehicle, as well as traffic density, road wetness, and the weather and distance, and even if the car is tuned!

The Story Aspect
Something that TDU Car Delivery missions lacked was the story behind them. You just picked a car up from a random character, and delivered it to a location, often all with the same concept. This is something we wanted to enhance with TDUSC, so let’s give you some examples!

  • Ryan Wilder Contract - Here you can see a previous TDU2 character needs a Lamborghini Urus delivered to him. This car has been modified, and in usual fashion, Ryan Wilder is ‘very tolerant’, which means the damage meter will be harder to knock down to 0%. To enhance this further, the delivery location of this mission has had some new props added to them to enhance the experience with the connected storyline, as you meet the director at the location of the movie set.

  • Dealership Delivery Contract - This was the mission you saw teased at Nacon Connect, where we need to deliver a Koenigsegg Agera RS. The story behind this is we need to deliver the car to the Luxury Cars Dealership, and we pick it up from its current transport truck location. When we arrive at the dealership, you are greeted by a dealership employee, thus enhancing the connection.
There are plenty of other scenarios to find day one of Season 3, and at the addition of more missions in a future update of Season 3!

In Mission
When you start a mission, on the top you will have a bar that starts at 100%. Your goal is to arrive at the destination with as high of a percentage as possible. You will reduce your percentage by damaging the car through driving on unsuitable surfaces, hitting traffic, walls, pylons, and more. Be careful, as the client may be less or more tolerant when it comes to damage, which means hitting things can take a smaller or higher damage percentage compared to other missions. The more percentage you have at the mission end, the more money and reputation you receive!

Mission Fail and Pass
As long as you arrive at the destination before your bar hits 0%, you will pass the mission, however your payout will range based on how damaged you deliver the vehicle. You can restart the mission as many times as you want through the pause function, however, if you fail the mission, you will not be able to restart it. Either passing or failing the mission will make the contract disappear from the map and you will see a new mission on the map with another timed availability. You also have a chance at replaying previous completed or failed missions.

We hope you enjoy these new Car Delivery Contracts in Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown, and of course, we are committed to bringing you other Contract styles in the future as part of our goal to improve the overall TDU DNA!

Solo Mode: AI Difficulty & Gameplay Pause
A large request from players has been not only a solo mode, but the ability to select AI difficulty and pause in game races, as previously all races were PvP. Let’s go over the details of this improvement!

Find A Race - When selecting any race in Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown, you will now be given the option to load the race in Solo, or Multiplayer. An added bonus is provided when choosing Multiplayer.

Choose Difficulty - Choose the difficulty of the AI for the race.

Pause - You can now pause the game in any circumstances, and now restart, change options, return to lobby, or abandon the race.

Ranked Mode - If a race currently has a ranked option, you will be able to choose between Solo or Ranked.

Race Payouts - In order to earn roughly the same payout as Season 2, you have to play with the AI difficulty set to ‘intermediate’ (blue AI bars) in Solo Mode. If you go further you'll earn more than you did in Season 2. The 50% bonus is applied on the base reward of the race (so not on "first win", "first race of the day" and other similar bonuses).

Navigation Mode
In Season 3, we have brought a new solo experience gamemode to Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown. In Navigation mode, you need to get to your destination without your GPS HUD! All you have is a compass that tells you where the location direction is. Let’s take a look at this in detail!

In Lobby - When you enter the lobby of Navigation Mode, the first thing you need to do is analyze the route you need to take based on the map! As mentioned before, when in a race, you won’t have your GPS or world map to help you, so take your time to check the map and remember the general roads to take, and get ready to start. You can see you can get different medals based on how long it takes you to get to the destination.

In Race - When you start, you need to use your compass found at the top of the screen which will direct you to the finish area. This is where your knowledge of the map is your best skill!

The Finish - When you arrive at the finish line, don’t forget to bring your car to a stop! The mission ends when the car reach 0km/h.

You can find over 25 Navigation Modes across Ibiza and Hong Kong Island day one of Season 3, and similar to Car Delivery, we will be adding more Navigation Modes in a future update within Season 3!

New Cars
In Season 3 we have added 3 new vehicles to the game!
  • DeLorean DMC-12 (Solar Pass Level 25)

  • Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta (Solar Pass Level 50)

  • Aston Martin Valour (Ranked)

  • Pininfarina Battista (S1 Ranked Reward In Luxury Car Dealership)
Solar Pass Details
In Season 3, we are delaying the paid tier of the Solar Pass and, for the first time, offering a 50-level Solar Pass, previously capped at 25 levels, to ALL players for this season. Players who have purchased or will purchase the Gold or Silver edition of the game will be able to activate their Solar Pass bonuses starting in Season 4, on the season of their choice, when the paid tier of the Solar Pass will be introduced. This season, the Solar Pass works a bit differently, so be sure to check how to claim your rewards.

When you open the Solar Pass menu, you must claim your Solar Pass. If you forget to do this, do not worry, as your Solar Pass will continue to level up, but you won’t have any of the rewards given to you until you claim the Solar Pass.

Here is an example after we completed the entire Solar Pass to level 50, and then claimed the Solar Pass. As you can see, we still get all the rewards we got before, and remember, the full Solar Pass is available to all players this Season.


Licence Plate Customisation & Clan Shops
In Season 3, we will be introducing new rims and customisable licence plates in Clan Shops. Look for the character next to the Clan Display car for all of the cosmetics you can purchase with your associated clan. Here are some examples of what you can find in your associated clan!

Streets Shop:



Sharps Shop:



Workshops: You can also find additional plates and phrases at any of the Workshops found on Ibiza and Hong Kong Island!

    ETA: Under Investigation

  • Friends List: Players are not able to see their friends list on any platform.
    ETA: Under Investigation

  • Transmission/Clutch Improvements: Vehicles sometimes hold at a certain RPM while accelerating. More noticeable when in a higher gear than usual, and the acceleration is at 100%.
    ETA: Under Investigation

  • Auto Hazards: Players complain of hazards being on when coming to a stop, ruining the immersion.(Solution = Timer removed)
    ETA: Bug solved, to be deployed on TDU SC (Season 3 Patch 1)

  • Auto Handbrake: Players complain of the auto parking brake being on when coming to a complete stop, often ruining the immersion of cruising.
    ETA: Under Investigation
We of course also have many other bug fixes and improvements we are working on, and we will continue to give you further details in future communications!

Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown - KT_A.Lemaire
Dear community,

A new patch is coming to Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown, available on Wednesday, January 29th, at 8:30 AM UTC. This update primarily includes bug fixes across all platforms and introduces a new anti-cheat system for PC. Additionally, all race and Time Attack leaderboards will be reset, giving everyone a fresh start with these challenges. A few hours of game maintenance will be required to apply the update and reset the leaderboards.



Leaderboards reset
We believe it’s important to reset the race leaderboards as soon as possible to ensure fairer competition and provide a clearer comparison among the best Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown players. Many race times set during Season 1 have become unbeatable for two main reasons:
  • Several Hong Kong Island race restrictions were reworked at Season 2 launch
  • Some car performances and upgrades were adjusted in Season 2 to improve overall car balance



In addition to the points above, there are also impossible times set by cheaters on both Hong Kong Island and Ibiza races. The introduction of the new anti-cheat system is the perfect opportunity to reset the leaderboards and give everyone a fresh start.
Going forward, leaderboards will be reset periodically. As car balancing and race restrictions may evolve in future seasons, periodic resets will ensure fair competition in the race leaderboards.

A new anti-cheat system
Some cheaters have significantly impacted race leaderboards, negatively affecting other players' experiences, particularly on PC. With the upcoming update, we are introducing the SARD Anti-Cheat system for PC players: a well-known solution that has proven its effectiveness in many games. Over the past few months, we worked closely with the SARD team to adapt their technology to Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown and deliver a fairer gameplay experience.

Coming Next
The development team is now focused on the upcoming Season 3, which will introduce new features and significant quality-of-life improvements that you are looking forward to! As we announced in December 2024, the original roadmap has been revised. The Clan War feature, originally planned for Season 3, has been postponed to prioritize gameplay improvements and deliver new features which better embrace the Test Drive Unlimited DNA.

Your feedback is incredibly valuable to us. We are carefully reviewing everything you’ve shared on social media and through our support platform to realign our priorities and better meet your expectations. We’ll share more details soon to introduce the new features and improvements coming with Season 3, launching in March!

In the meantime, the newest patch will be released on Wednesday, January 29th, at 8:30 AM UTC. We will keep you updated on our different socials about the maintenance.

Community Screenshots
We always enjoy discovering your screenshots on Discord, Steam, and other social platforms. Here are a few we would like to highlight!

    Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown - KT_A.Lemaire
    This season celebrates the return of Ibiza to the game series, with the city of Eivissa and its surroundings recreated at a 1:1 scale. The update includes 20 new clan levels, a brand-new Solar Pass with exclusive free rewards, and new cars! The AI has also been reworked to create a more balanced difficulty and a fairer racing experience.


    SUMMARY :
    • Ibiza returns
    • New cars
    • Seasonal content
    • AIs rebalancing & adjustments
    • Steering wheel animation
    • Proximity voice chat
    • Season 2 Dev Diary & next steps

    Ibiza returns

    The city of Eivissa on Ibiza island is back on Test Drive Unlimited, recreated on a 1:1 scale, offering you a new map to explore. Fans of the license will feel a sense of nostalgia as they navigate through the narrow streets of Ibiza Castle, making their way to the luxurious Talamanca district and passing by the charming marina.

    You can expect nostalgic and emotional cruising times around the different Eivissa districts with well known points of interest, but also speed traps, and a variety of collectibles. Many new races are also available on the Spanish island, with a brand-new system of restriction rotation offering new challenges to conquer.


    A special heliport on the northern part of Hong Kong Island is available to transport you directly to Ibiza. You must be a Sharps or Streets member (reputation level 12 is needed to join a clan) to fly until Eivissa. Both clans have a lot of influence on the island and their leaders are part of the journey as they are waiting for you inside of the Selene social hub.

    This hub can host up to 16 players simultaneously, features a new car dealership with exclusive vehicles, a clothing store with clan-themed items, and a well known NPC for Test Drive Unlimited fans, CEO of the Selene organization.


    With 20 additional clan levels, there are now 70 levels to complete whether you're a Streets or Sharps member. Clan races in Ibiza are organized by Selene, without any traffic unlike Hong Kong clan events, and will help you to climb Streets or Sharps ladder which is needed to unlock the new cars available in the Eivissa dealership.

    New cars in the Selene dealership
    Seven new cars from all classes are available in the brand-new dealership. Leading the lineup are the iconic Ferrari California from TDU2 and the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ Xago Edition. To these two new exclusive cars are added the special Selene edition cars. Discover 5 vehicles with enhanced performance and a unique livery, crafted in the style of renowned automotive tuners.


    Here are the seven cars available in the Ibiza dealership:
    • Ferrari California
    • Lamborghini Aventador SVJ Xago Edition
    [/b]
  • Fiat 500 Abarth Selene Edition
  • Alfa Romeo 4C Selene Edition
  • Alpine A110 Berlinette Selene Edition
  • Chevrolet Corvette C1 Selene Edition
  • W Motors Fenyr SuperSport Selene Edition
  • [/list]


    Also, the launch compensation will be available on Wednesday, for all Gold Edition players who have played the game before October 12th. The compensation includes the 1986 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe “Adventurer Edition” aswell as a pack of 5 “Pioneer of the Solar Crown” stickers.

    Solar Pass for free & new live activities

    A new 25-level Solar Pass will be offered to all players. Reaching level 25 unlocks the Lamborghini Diablo VT from 1993, a stunning addition to your car collection. Until the ultimate Solar Pass rank, you will unlock a new reward at each level reached, such as:
    • Car paints
    • Rims
    • Clothes
    • Emotes
    • Solar Coins
    Many new Live Events will continue to be published every Wednesday at 8 AM UTC. We heard your feedback about these weekly challenges and we adjusted their rewards for the upcoming season. Special liveries have been designed to make car skins a new reward type for the weekly completion.


    Season 2 also brings a new Solar Crown competition and a new car prize for those reaching the Solar Court or the Solar King/Queen rank. The exclusive reward will be none other than the Bugatti Chiron SuperSport 300+. This top-tier vehicle will be a coveted prize, available at the end of the season for Solar Court players.

    We are aware that the ranked matchmaking experience isn’t optimal and the development team is actively working on something new to improve the overall experience for all players.

    AI rebalancing & adjustments
    As announced in early November, improving the game’s AI has been a top priority for the development team. Guillaume Guinet, Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown Game Director at KT Racing, explains what has been done about racing AI:

    #Discussions_QuoteBlock_Author
    We have two topics to work on with the AIs: difficulty and behavior. About difficulty, it will now be harder to reach the Expert level at first, and you will more often switch from one difficulty level to another depending on your race results. The AIs have also become easier to beat, especially at the highest levels of difficulty. The achievement of inhuman times from AI opponents will be resolved in Season 2 and we aimed to make the races more challenging and interesting.

    Also, we worked on AI behavior. First of all, they won't “cheat” anymore in Season 2. AI will be subject to the same constraints as you are. If they hit a barrier, or a pole, their speed will drop as yours. On another side, AIs will also behave better on wet roads and adapt better to different surfaces, from asphalt to gravel for example.

    We're still working on the AIs, we're going to improve them even further after the launch of Season 2. There's a lot that can be perfected. The subject of AIs is very complex with systems that are correlated to each other with many parameters to adapt and test in depth in order to offer you the best racing experience.
    For Season 2, a significant improvement in AIs has been implemented. We continue to work on this to introduce enhancements as the seasons progress.

    Steering wheel animation


    Another highly requested improvement will be deployed: the steering wheel angle animation rework. From Wednesday, the wheel angle in the cockpit view will no longer be limited and a brand-new animation is coming for all cars with the Season 2 launch, whatever your game controller is. You also will be able to set an angle limit by yourself through the settings menu (now up to 1080°).

    Proximity voice chat
    Vocal chat has also been improved as it now becomes a proximity chat in the different social hubs (Solar Hotel, Selene Hub, workshops, clans HQ, etc.). It means the volume is evolving with players positioning themselves, conversations becoming louder or quieter depending on proximity. Last but not least, vocal ice chat is now available in freeroaming in both Ibiza and Hong Kong Island. This will allow you to talk directly with other players behind the wheel!

    Season 2 Dev Diary & next steps
    Alain Jarniou, Creative Director at KT Racing, and Guillaume Guinet, TDUSC Game Director, are back with a new dev diary to give you the exciting new content and features coming your way in Season 2! But that’s not all, they’re also dropping some hints about the new plans for Season 3, inspired by community feedback.



    Update & servers maintenance
    The update (~38Go) will be downloadable from 9:00 AM UTC on all platforms, during the game maintenance which will begin at 8:30 AM UTC. Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown will be inaccessible during the maintenance and the Season 2 with all its content will start right after it.

    This is a big maintenance for our network team, with new content and many fixes & improvements included. Servers should be back online in the late afternoon UTC. We will keep you updated on the progress of this maintenance on our different socials.

    The whole development team of Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown is looking forward to meet you on Ibiza’s roads!
