ew.. yeah its dangerous business.. face into glass on edge of desk or similar and these things really are pretty lethal. Im either sitting down with mine of theres a useful railing thing behind my desk which keeps me grounded if standing.

HEHEHE yeah im fine. i didnt actually break anything, just bruised stuff a lot (my ego mainly) im all better now though, so i will be back to playing eat saber and Pavlov..

Also yeah i broke out in an all over body sweat the other day, then my mouth went all watery and i realised i was suffering from my first go of motion sickness.. Pulled the headset up off my head and 2 seconds later i was fine. But for those few seconds things did feel VERY odd..

Eek! The only thing I've broken in VR is a massive sweat! I hope you're alright, Nobby. Take it easy, play some comfort VR games, and you'll be back to throwing your arms and head around in no time

Ouch!

but yeah for VR, esp. a Vive you need a big empty room in best case scenario. The friend of my sister has a 20qm room reserved for it and never is completely alone when playing, just in case he is near a wall or the desk in the corner. get well soon.

So the other day, i nearly broke a few ribs.. I was playing a VR game and of all the stupid things it requires you to lean forward or back to dive or climb. If you lean more than about 10 degrees forward while you cant see whats going on you will fall over.. And thats what happened, only problem is, my desk is only about 1 meter in front of me. I slammed into it blind, but its ok, my ribs took most of the impact

SO i uninstalled the game and asked for a refund. And ive had to stay off VR for a couple of days while my ribs recover (i had a nice bruise up my ribs yesterday)

Oh and one more thing. Atari didnt make TDU2.. Eden games did. Atari was just the copmpany that released it. But they was such a bunch of assholes to Eden games. most of eden games walked out. Towards then end of TDU2's playable lifespan there was just a small handful of people still working there.. Nobody in their right mind would make another game like TDU under atari's name. Not after the fiasco with eden games.

Modding tutorial for OFW Users
How to mod TDU2 on any PS3 you like!

UPDATED 1/10/15 12:53EST
Sorry for the terrible port over to windows...
I removed the %bkpath% functionality, as it just seemed to get in the way. You just have to type a few more characters now.
Please remember that this is a beta package, and you should take it with a grain of salt. Thank you for noting the issues with 0.7, I think I fixed it completely now... Keep letting me know if something is up!

Gentle reminder to that of the PS3 users using any sort of backup manipulation tool...
Remember that in all modding, you run the risk of getting banned from all PSN connectivity.

Introduction:
This tutorial will show you how to modify the contents of your PS3's HDD via direct editing of a HDD backup.
Modification of TDU2 on the PS3 requires editing of the update files that the PS3 downloads.
By having decrypted access to a HDD dump we can extract, edit, and re-install these update files.
The following tutorial assumes you've installed all of the TDU2 Update files on your PS3.
Note that this tutorial will only show you how to extract one file from this game; there are MANY others. I suggest you do a bit of fooling around, but remember;
1. These update files have a READ ORDER (meaning that the last file that's read by the game is the law of the game; So anything that's in a higher version of updates will be loaded instead of the earlier updates (or original .big files) of the game. You can find updates [here for North America - BLUS30527] and [here for Europe - BLES00884]. (You can find your Game's ID by looking at the disc.)
2. You NEED to keep file sizes! I honestly cannot stress this enough. If you save a .big file with ONE EXTRA BYTE, your game will not load.
3. If you edit and re-install a file from the game, you have to delete the old one from the backup before you restore it. Otherwise, the PS3 will just install the old file.

Your issue was that you weren't naming directories properly. The folder you named was USERDIR, when it should have been USRDIR. Always double check your steps!

I do know know why but this new updated version isn't working at all for some reason it's not finding my backup contents even though my backup is unedited 'PS3/EXPORT/BACKUP/000000000000'

Hey dude, do you want me to help you out a bit? Sorry you're having issues. Let's see if we can fix it.
Do you have enough spoace in the disk, first of all?
