Beta starts Monday. I'm very interested to hear folks experience of it. Hoping it gives one the same kind of feeling as Test Drive Unlimited 2, which I loved.

MrJohnSherry · 19 Jul 2014 at 11:46

Not received a beta code for this yet, hoping I do though. I am really looking forward to this game, could be a hell of a lot of fun with friends.

Got the same e-mail today.

Has anyone actually got Key code yet?

I've had my code through, can't redeem it yet though.

Thesnipergecko · 21 Jul 2014 at 01:28

Codes can now be redeemed via UPLAY. The game can be played after around 30% has been downloaded.

The download is a little over 15gig.

Anyone have spare key?

wnb · 21 Jul 2014 at 08:41

Looks good but just 4 days of beta? Don't know how large a download it is but it will take me more than a day to download it so it's not worth the effort. Roll on September when my cabinet gets fibre.

Beta has finally launched, to my love, i have graphical glitches making it unplayable.

Trying to fix this.

Anyone else who is playing, you can remove the 30fps cap by going into

C:\Users\username\Documents\The Crew

Opening "PCScalability" in notepad and changing the fps to what you desire,

Please note i changed mine to 120, and removed Vsync however i still seem capped at 60fps. But it is still better than 30

Hope this helps you guys

This looks like it'll be brilliant fun with a group of friends, do you have to be invited to the Beta or can anyone get hold of it to try out?

FloppyPoppy · 21 Jul 2014 at 09:35

It's a closed beta - can get one in emails by applying with ubisoft

Or invite 3 friends to this page, https://www.facebook.com/graingerga...0&brandloc=DISABLE&app_data=chk-53ccd0ab6c7cc

This is how i got mine, they may have run out of keys now not sure

FloppyPoppy · 21 Jul 2014 at 09:36

Fixed my graphical glitching issue, dissabled SLI and it works well now

Been watching this on twitch.tv. Either the guy playing is not very good or the game is a bit tricky. He's got to deliver a car in 60 seconds the other side of Detroit. Unusual GPS marker in that the route marker is in the sky above you, like a monorail.

Thesnipergecko · 21 Jul 2014 at 10:04

Looks like there is server maintenance now until 11am UK time. I haven't been able to get in to this yet.

Murray · 21 Jul 2014 at 10:05

I can't do the very start of the game. It gives me 15 seconds to go straight towards the checkpoint and I can't get there in time even with boost :/

FloppyPoppy · 21 Jul 2014 at 10:15

I have a feeling these are just some BETA bugs. I had no issues getting to any checkpoints and i would not consider myself a good driver, nor a bad driver.

ic1male · 21 Jul 2014 at 10:18

This looks like Ubisoft's take on Need for Speed. Haven't seen anyone "crewing up" yet to see what difference that makes.

Murray · 21 Jul 2014 at 10:19

I think its a bug with my controller. I watched someone else do the same part and they are driving at 100mph+ and I'm only getting 70.

Me to!! Still early days though. I think everyone is just " learning the ropes "

Gimpymoo · 21 Jul 2014 at 10:29

Ubisoft, I am impressed.

Constant 15 MB/s download.
