Freshly released The Crew fan revival gets early fixes, devs say they aren’t responsible for issues caused by game files from “shady sources”

The Crew Unlimited, a fan project making Ubisoft racer The Crew playable again following its unceremonious shutdown last year, released yesterday, September 15th. There’s been some early issues to rectify, with the developers having put out two hotfixes already and emphasised that they’re “not responsible” for any problems caused by people having grabbed “broken/corrupted game files” from “shady sources”.

As we reported earlier this month, The Crew Unlimited’s devs started working on it not long after Ubisoft pulled the racer’s official servers offline in March 2024, rendering it unplayable. Cue a group of fans deciding to set up a server emulator that’d allow them to get it up and running again for players who still had the game files installed.
