"TCU Net 2.0" is besides successful the works from The Crew Unlimited's creators

Earlier this month, fan-made revival task The Crew Unlimited, brought Ubisoft's decommissioned racer The Crew backmost to beingness successful server emulated PC form. Now, its devs person enactment retired an update outlining a mates of things they're moving connected to effort and instrumentality things to the adjacent level.

This looks to beryllium the archetypal clip the radical person been capable to drawback their enactment since releasing The Crew Unlimited connected September 15th, having had to enactment level retired connected fixes for teething issues successful the contiguous aftermath. Some of those problems stemmed from immoderate players having acquired breached versions of The Crew's crippled files from "shady sources", with TCU's devs saying they aren't liable for the server emulator not moving successful these cases.

That brings america to the 'post-launch recap and what's next' station The Crew Unlimited pb Whammy enactment up connected the project's Patreon leafage precocious yesterday. "The reception has been rather overwhelming," they wrote to footwear off. "We're highly grateful for each the enactment we've received, it truly means a batch to us. The magnitude of radical who were eagerly awaiting the instrumentality of this decennary aged crippled truly says a batch astir however overmuch this crippled means to people."

Getting down to brass tacks, Whammy wrote that the team's existent absorption is getting immoderate much "important fixes" for their creation's launcher and server retired of the door, with the erstwhile besides acceptable for an interface rework. In the long-term, determination are 2 larger initiatives they've got successful the works, with 1 being a beefy overhaul mod and the different being a revamp of the project's website that'll integrate it with the game's resurrected online multiplayer.

Starting with the mod, which the modders are collaborating with different Crew assemblage members on, it's "a postulation of indispensable and lore-friendly fixes, improvements and contented restorations". The extremity is to bring The Crew backmost "to a level of greatness it erstwhile had, portion retaining each the caller DLC contented and features", arsenic The Crew Unlimited's creators aren't fans of the "abysmal state" Ubisoft near the racer successful erstwhile its past updates rolled out. The radical look to peculiarly dislike the effect 2015's Wild Run update had.

The 2nd summation the works is dubbed "TCU Net 2.0", and volition beryllium a revamp of The Crew Unlimited's existent website that'll present a strategy of online features linked to the project's in-game online experience. For instance, you'll beryllium capable entree the likes of "user profiles, scores, friends, posts, [and] rewards". It sounds rather Rockstar Social Club-ish successful rule astatine least, truthful it'll beryllium absorbing to spot if the modders tin propulsion it off.

"As you tin see, we person rather ambitious goals," Whammy concluded. "But with capable clip and your support, we judge we tin execute them." Given the accomplishment that conscionable getting their server emulator up and moving apt was, it's chill to spot the squad proceed to purpose high. The question remains arsenic to whether The Crew Unlimited mightiness look immoderate lawyerly enactment from Ubisoft astatine immoderate point, if the steadfast believes it has a case, but each appears quiescent connected that beforehand frankincense far.
