JONNY-1992-_- Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I couldn't connect to the online servers last night and from what I read on the Test Drive Unlimited 2 Facebook page, everyone else is having the same problem. It seems like this has been the case since the 1st September and if that is true, then it doesn't look too good for the servers to be open again soon, unless someone has any information about this?

Saltyie Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 They were planning on shutting them down since summer last year I believe (Atleast I heard something about it when I played it last year). I wouldn't be surprised The servers are very cagey, so they could still be up. The Official Site's server status thing isn't working for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JONNY-1992-_- Posted September 29, 2014 Author Share Posted September 29, 2014 Yeh the Server Status on the website isn't working for me either, Also the Forums on the website aren't available to access as it mentions maintenance which was being done to it back in 2012 lol.

Capreb Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I go to their site and this is what I get. I'm assuming someone murdered them in a very brutal fashion and they don't want to talk about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JONNY-1992-_- Posted September 29, 2014 Author Share Posted September 29, 2014 Who Knows? Atari aren't really doing much communication at the moment in regards to TDU2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saltyie Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Don't they have to give an official announcement of the closure atleast 30 days before they close? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madbuk Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Don't they have to give an official announcement of the closure atleast 30 days before they close? Ghostbusters says hello. Unless the rules have changed since then, that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevieboy Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Don't they have to give an official announcement of the closure atleast 30 days before they close? EA have that policy. Not sure about other companies though. I'm guessing it's up to the individual companies themselves how much notice they give, and like madbuk stated above, Ghostbusters servers were shut down without warning and that game was published by Atari too.

JONNY-1992-_- Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 That's interesting, I didn't know about that with the Ghostbusters game. I don't think that's right to shut down the online servers for any game without an announcement to let it's players know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakraali Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I don't think that's right to shut down the online servers for any game without an announcement to let it's players know. I don't know if there's any legal reasons to do so, but a dick move anyhow. But hasn't TDU2 been dying for like years already? Only a matter of time when it went totally under. But yeah, Eden (developer) was killed off in 2011 IIRC, and Atari (publisher) has also declared bankruptcy, so yeah... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JONNY-1992-_- Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 Hmmm, So it doesn't look all that good for TDU2 Online then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JONNY-1992-_- Posted October 5, 2014 Author Share Posted October 5, 2014 I'm happy to admit that I was wrong! Test Drive Unlimited 2 is back online, at least on PS3, I can't comment on PC or Xbox 360 and don't really care lol. Atari could have at least provided an explanation as to why the online servers were down for a whole month. Anyways, it was good to see many people online.
