TEST DRIVE UNLIMITED GETS AN OPEN-SOURCE PC REBUILD WITH LINUX AND MAC BUILDS

OpenTDU: open-source Test Drive Unlimited client posts new Windows, Linux and macOS nightlies

OpenTDU is a source port of the PC version of Test Drive Unlimited (2006, MC 1.66A): a new client that aims to fix the AI, rendering and security problems the original hits on modern systems, with a Vulkan renderer and cross-platform builds. It's still a work in progress, but the team now publishes nightly binaries for Windows (x64 and 32-bit, including Windows 7), Linux and macOS; the latest landed Oct 28. Launch options open a world viewer, a car showcase and the login screen, and an -orb switch points online login at another server. It ships no game assets.
