A lot of people are reporting many bugs, problems with DLC's and racing wheels in Test Drive Unlimited 2. Eden Games is working on these problems. Is there a new patch incoming?

It was one of my most anticipated games ever, with a concept years ahead of what Forza Horizon could achieve. But it remains one of the buggiest launches of a game I can remember, completely tarnishing my memory of it."

Such an underrated game, the only problem I had with it was the car physics on anything more powerful the a Golf GTI. But to me this was the original Forza Horizon
Game Informer - It's hard to imagine what to do in a car game except race other cars, and yet with Test Drive Unlimited 2, developer Eden Games found a way to expand the genre's horizons enough to offer an experience that's slightly different from your average racer. Eden's ambition came with a cost, but Test Drive Unlimited 2 is a game that I remember fondly and appreciate for the chances it takes.
This game gets a bad rap, but I enjoy it still. The idea was great, I think that if the devs were just better supported it could have been something truly epic.
Would love to see something like this again, especially on a next gen console.
Dear gameinformer,
look up the fucking definition of cult classic,
sincerely,
anyone who knows what "cult" or "classic" means.
Im 6-7 hours into the game and i didn't found any bugs yet. This game is so cool.
I'm just gonna be lazy and copy a post I made on an IGN article ten minutes ago :).
I've been enjoying the PC version for the last two days, but it's a damn shame that the car handling and physics are a significant step down from the fairly competent effort they made with TDU1.
And it certainly doesn't make things any better that I've yet to find a single person on the official forum with the PC version, who actually has any kind of force feedback from the game when playing with steering wheel and pedals (I'm using a Logitech G25. It's possible to add some "fake", and rather terrible, effects through settings in the Logitech Profiler, but those just give the wheel a little resistance but do virtually nothing at all to convey proper force feedback like weight shifting, loss of grip, surface variance etc. Something TDU1, which I also played with my G25, did fairly well).
I love the huge open game world - the same thing that kept me playing TDU1 for quite a while - but with the step down in car handling, and complete lack of proper force feedback, I'm just not sure I can keep my enthusiasm up for very long.
I am not worried. Bad Company 2 had launch problems like this and I still love and play that game.
This game is a hot ass mess. And at the same time it is extremely fun.
