There's been immoderate aboriginal issues to rectify, with the developers having enactment retired 2 hotfixes already and emphasised that they're "not responsible" for immoderate problems caused by radical having grabbed "broken/corrupted crippled files" from "shady sources".

As we reported earlier this month, The Crew Unlimited's devs started moving connected it not agelong aft Ubisoft pulled the racer's authoritative servers offline successful March 2024, rendering it unplayable. Cue a radical of fans deciding to acceptable up a server emulator that'd let them to get it up and moving again for players who inactive had the crippled files installed.

Upon opening up its gullwing doors yesterday, the task rapidly ran into immoderate teething issues. In an announcement connected Discord aboriginal this morning, task pb whammy4 revealed that the squad person performed "over 10 hours of non-stop tech support" retired of the gate, and it looks similar the bulk of the issues person affected folks who didn't already legitmately ain The Crew's crippled files via Steam anterior to grabbing The Crew Unlimited.

"It has travel to my attraction that a batch of you person acquired (by whichever shady methods...) broken/corrupted crippled files," the developer wrote.

I can't retrieve if I've mentioned this before, but my defining representation of The Crew is not being capable to get the Artic Monkeys' 'Do I Wanna Know?' retired of my head, nary substance what I tried. I'm not definite I wanna cognize if it's arsenic overplayed successful this instrumentality revival.
