Game not launching

[Ventilateur]

I click on the play button, and it does nothing, absolutely nothing, tried launching the exe file in admin mode directly : nothing. Checked the files integrity : nothing. Definitely the 1st time that this happens to me in any game.

Go to the TDUSC folder, TDUSC.exe, right click, properties, compatibility and setting compatibility mode too windows 8/7 fixed it for me, maybe it'll work for anyone else.

Unfortunately didn't work for me....

Just keep relaunching, there's something borked with the exe file itself. At first it wasn't recognized by GeForce Experience and CapFrame-X as a game, after a couple restarts it started getting recognized. Then I have to try like 6 or 7 times to launch it via Special K, as it crashes on window pop-up, before it finally launches.

Same here, win11, AMD RX 6800 XT GPU, Ryzen 5600X CPU

Quick n dirty "how to find problem with games":
1) Rightclick the game in steam
2) Manage -> Browse local files
3) Look for a file called "SOMETHING.log" (in this case "sl.log") and open it (with notepad)
4) Scroll to the bottom of the file and see if you can make sense of what its saying
5) if you cant, ask for further help here, paste the contents of your .log file in a comment here, preferably in code tags (see the little 'formatting help' button when you make a new post/topic)

This (looking at a log of the game) will work for most games, 99.9% of them log what they do in a file somewhere like this and if a game doesn't launch or has ANY other sort of issue that's usually by far the best place to look for details about why its not working properly.

So yeah, go look for your sl.log file and tell us if you need help making sense of whatever is causing your issues.

same problem. hit play, button turns blue, then it goes back to the green play button and does nothing.

I'd like to support this game because of my childhood memories playing Test Drive 1 (CGA graphics), but this leaves a bad first impression.

Good Morning Suicidal,

As the others persons of the chat, I met issues on game launch.
Impossible for me to start playing TDU with gold edition since Yesterday morning.

As recommended, you will find below all the informations I had from the "sl.log" file.

Could you please support me with the important informations from this data file ?

Thank you in advance for support.
