Interesting. I just fished out my original disc and I am almost positive I saved my data folder in one of my back ups. Was thinking of installing. Keep an eye on this.

I have just installed it as well
Had it crash once or twice but haven't installed the updates yet.
Here is a link to some helpful stuff and files for anyone interested in getting this to work again.

Thanks for the info Bez. I have also been mulling over picking up a wireless Xbox controller so I can play on the big screen with a Steam Link. Had a Steam controller but never cared for it the few times I used it. Still have the G25, it's packed in its box but not sure I want to get it out just yet.

As to the G25 thing this is my only problem, it won't work with my latest wheel so i am having to use a controller.
I did have an old G25 that i used to keep for playing TDU 2 but after it went off line i sold it.

Xbox controller on the way. Found my Eden Games folder so I am good there. Since I have not played with a controller for ages, thinking start small and simple with ETS2. Will work on rebooting TDU2 soon

Game is still a lot of fun to play only downside with off-line is the game feels a little empty.
I miss driving around bumping into friends and random players.
I also booted up the crew 2 the other day and drove around for over 40 min and never saw anyone.
This is one of the things i have never liked about the crew it has always felt empty.

Hey Bez. Got my controller and reinstalled ETS2 to get a feel for using it. May install the original The Crew, not going to buy 2 unless it is real cheap on sale.
I have a question. If I use the unofficial patch, can I still copy over my saved game folder and use? Not really interested in a new game and would love to see all those different colored Ferrari I stashed in my garages. I did not look hard but I don't see any place an official patch can be found. No hurry, I have a couple of weeks of flying 20,000 LY's to get back to civilization in ED.
