Ubisoft has gone one step further to try and stop people getting into The Crew.
You're viewing a single thread.
Lmao, fuck licenses; pirate it, and we'll make our own servers.
They can't do shit then
Afaik nobody has cracked it as it's always-online, though I'd be happily incorrect about this if one can slide me some sauce. I'm one of the affected players in the shutdown (still play occasionally) so the ability to continue playing this game would be very nice.
Afaik there is no crack for The Crew because it stored your progress on ubisoft's server and has no local save data.
There are cracks that managed this tho Nfs:World and wangan midnight comes to mind
So if we need to somehow pirate it we need to break ubisoft drm and rediect the calls for savedata that are supposed to be sent to the servers to a local storage
There is a possibility that the game actually has a hidden "production mode" where it allows offline play. Make sense though because the game developers must be able to run the game during production where the server hasn't been up yet.
Research into the possibility of reenabling this mode in retail build seems to be losing steam though.Looks like it picked up some steam again: https://steamcommunity.com/app/241560/discussions/0/4306075118785997064/
