Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown: Redemption Patch Arrives!
Hold on to your steering wheels, racers! After a bumpy start, Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown has received its first major patch, bringing over 300 fixes to smooth out the road ahead.
A Much-Needed Tune-Up
Let's be honest, the launch of Solar Crown wasn't the dream return fans were hoping for. Server woes, performance hiccups, and a host of other issues put a damper on the experience. But KT Racing has been hard at work, and this patch aims to address many of the community's concerns.
Highlights of the Patch:
Server Stability: Say goodbye to frustrating login errors, race disconnections, and save issues. The servers have received a significant overhaul for a smoother online experience.
Performance Boost: Enjoy a smoother ride with an increased global framerate, while maintaining the same level of visual fidelity.
Steering Wheel Support & Ultra-wide: PC players can now enjoy better compatibility with their racing wheels and immersive ultra-wide monitors.
Squashed Bugs: Over 300 bug fixes tackle everything from crashes and freezes to AI quirks and suspension issues.

The Road to Recovery
While this patch is a major step in the right direction, it remains to be seen if it can fully restore player confidence. The initial launch setbacks undoubtedly impacted sales and left some players with a sour taste.
More Updates on the Horizon
KT Racing is committed to supporting Solar Crown with further updates. A second, PS5-specific patch is in the works to further enhance performance and graphics. While features like crossplay and offline mode aren't currently planned, the developers are listening to community feedback.
Season 1 Kicks Off!
With the patch in place, Season 1 is officially underway! Level up your driver and clan, unlock cosmetic rewards, and snag a prize car with the free 25-level Solar Pass. And get ready for a return to Ibiza Town with the free Season 2 map expansion later this year.
