And the time has finally come. The team behind the mod that basically revives Ubisoft’s online-only MMO CaRPG, The Crew, has released it. The Crew Unlimited brings back to life the first entry in The Crew series, and you can download it right now.
The Crew was supported for 2 years after it’s launch, the game received 2 expansions each year. The first expansion came out in 2015, and it was called Wild Run. The second was the Calling All Units expansion, which came out in 2016. By around 2020, the game had over 12 million players total. However, in 2024, Ubisoft pulled the plug. For those unaware, Ubisoft shut down the game’s servers on March 31st, 2024. As such, the game became inaccessible and completely unplayable to everyone.
At its core, The Crew Unlimited brings the game back online by swapping Ubisoft’s servers with new community-made ones. This means all the MMO features are working again, like free-roam lobbies, co-op missions, PvP races, and faction challenges. Players can team up, race across the U.S., and build their own crews just like in the original game.
On top of bringing the game back online, the modders also made it run better and more stable. They fixed problems with lag, matchmaking, and server crashes. The Crew Unlimited also adds a bunch of helpful improvements that weren’t in the original game. For example, it has smoother matchmaking for lobbies, stronger servers for today’s player counts, and it brings back old events and faction missions that were missing. There are also bug fixes and small tweaks to make the game more fun overall.
In short, this is one of the best mods ever made. The modders brought back an online-only game, and that’s really impressive. This shows why devs should give players tools to keep their games alive when they decide to stop supporting them. Sure, it’s not always easy, but it’s the best choice when a company no longer wants to support its own game.
You can download The Crew Unlimited from this link.
Have fun. And here is a video from 10 years ago, when I had a dual-shot GPU. I believe that was on an NVIDIA GTX 690. Ah, the good old days of the dual-slot, dual-chip SLI GPUs!

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

ubisoft still sells older titles on steam that have issues and dont work, at some point people had to put negative reviews up to inform garbagesoft that one of the assasin creed games no longer works due to a windows update. The last game ubisoft put on gog is far cry 2 from 2008.
They dont care about you as a consumer, they just want you buy their recycled crap and the microtransactions and other than that dont exist, dont have anything else to say. NEVER buy ubisoft games.

not they only one, they brought back battleborn and made steep and diablo 2 play offline, this tells you how hard denuvo is to crack.
"this tells you how hard denuvo is to crack."
So in other words, they hire the most incompetent, talentless and ugliest pink-haired trannies out there that could barely even fix 1 bug out of the over +10,000 other bugs that are still present in their gaymes that will never even be fixed just for the sake of filling these DEI points while they hire the people that are well-experienced into making sure that you don't own the product that you paid for.
The irony. This alone makes it more than clear how evil these subhumans pretending to be "gamers!" who make these agenda-poisoned "games" solely to brainwash and indoctrinate us into normalizing their filth really are.
i play old games now and i am happy. Let it die.
Yep, just exactly as I do, I almost exclusively play old games too, because most of these new “games” are just so dogshit that they aren’t even worth SUFFERING through them, let alone paying to get brainwashed with their agendas.
I was just pointing that out for the delusional normies who STILL have SOME hope that these subhuman activists are so-called “gAmErS!!!” They were spewing that we are all just “eXtReMiStS aNd cOnSpIrAcY tHeOrIsTs!!!”, yet here we are, we so-called “eXtReMiStS aNd cOnSpIrAcY tHeOrIsTs!!!” turned out to be right even in front of THEIR eyes just exactly like what we’ve been saying for over a decade now. Believe it or not, just less than 6 years ago, I was one of those normies who would call the DSOGaming people here “eXtReMiStS aNd cOnSpIrAcY tHeOrIsTs!!!”, yet here I am, a rational thinker who always takes both sides’ POV believing the rational people who are falsely slandered as “eXtReMiStS aNd cOnSpIrAcY tHeOrIsTs!!!”
Just a reminder though (most of us already know that), they are “people” who are just so extremely mentally unstable that will now start spewing lies and slander you about things that you never did or even said in front of courts (that they forced you to be there in the first place) in pathetic attempts to try justifying their lies. And when you refute their lies in front of court, they’re gonna spew “i nEvEr eVeN sAiD dAt!!!” and start having a mental breakdown before buying a noose to hang themselves because of the cold, painful truth that they were actually the ones lying and slandering you since the very beginning.
Finally trying some Gameboy games on Ares emulator.
I'm having more fun than with 2025 AAA games.🤣

Exactly, because these games were made by actual gamers and not disgusting activists who not only openly hate video games, but also openly hate YOU the player and want to brainwash everyone into normalizing their filth.
If a Windows update breaks a game no longer in development the fault is Microsoft and ONLY Microsoft's fault …… Those games still ran perfectly fine on Windows 10. It was the virus known as Windows 11 24H2 that was entirely at fault.
It's ignorant to believe otherwise
This is literally why I am now seriously considering "downgrading" to Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 with security updates specifically and not "content" updates up until Jan. 2032 despite me using the piece of poop that is Windows 11 for over 2.5 years now. That way I can be assured that these cunning employees at Micro$hit won't do some shady shit at any moment that nobody even knows what it is or when will it be like they are doing with Windows 11.
Windows 10 truly was the last true Windows OS. Windows 11 is not a "Windows" OS nor should it ever be used for gaming or anything else, it's a cancer with Copilot and AI shit shoved every single where even in the OS itself like the taskbar, Windows search, text document, MS Paint, etc. You know how Sega used to make consoles before quitting the console industry? Similarly, Windows 10 was the last true Windows and there will be no more Windows versions after it.
I'd rather stay with Windows 10 even as far as 2050 than stay for even a moment further with this fake "Windows OS" that they call Windows 11. After all, there are so many people (whether using it as a personal computer or in a shop or even in a hospital and other stuff) that are still using Windows 7 even in 2025, you know. Micro$hit finally showed the world its true colors, the scam artists they actually are and the plans to genocide all of us that they've been working on since the very beginning when previously normies have always been calling us "cOnSpIrAcY tHeOrIsTs aNd eXtReMiStS!!!"
I strongly suspect that it was Co-Pilot and especially Recall hardcoded into the Kernel that is the main cause of problems with 24H2. That was the main difference between 23H2 which works fine and 24H2 which acts more like a virus than an OS
Consumer Reports calls on Microsoft to extend support for Windows 10

Ubisoft CEO was telling us this is impossible but here we are. Some talented programmers did this without any source code but a 10000+ dev company just can't do this for some reason.
Why don't these Russian scammers hacks create their own game instead of releasing malware. If they're so "amazingly talented", it should be a piece of cake no?
False positive, not malware.
Stop showing us ur a brainwashed murican supporting "big" companies. We're really not interested.
Go stuff your american eagle up your behind, and go die in a ditch.
u and dbs can suck my c*ck, jokes on you, im not murican u fggot. Ur a moron, u see a logo and u immediately assume its american. what a waste of space u are lol. i hope ur loved ones die in a car crash and u dont procreate. ur line needs to end with ur srry as$ lmao
The snowflake @disqus_wpcOeBHNf4:disqus has blocked me despite me not even interacting with it, not even once. And the funny thing is that it and ignorant snowflakes like it seriously believes as if the Eagle is exclusively a ((('MuriKKKunt))) symbol to the point of bashing you over it.
Just try to not go too "harsh" on oversensitive snowflakes like it and simply display the Swastika in front of it or else it will most likely have a mental breakdown and proceed to buy a noose to tie it around its neck and hang itself even before "The Reveal" that this is actually a simple and harmless symbol used as a symbol of peace that has been used across countless ancient civilizations and for thousands of years.
You couldn't have said it better. It's absolutely absurd. Apparently he has blocked me as well because I was too harsh on the poor kid.
Swastika might be my next symbol, kinda curios what the cat will drag in ngl.

It's not malware, but TCULauncher uses dllinjection to emulate the server / intercept the requests, so a lot of antivirus will flag it as (false) positives.
In my open source installers, I've made a checkbox to add the game folder in windows defender exclusion automatically.
Like i said below, ubisoft has not maintained its old games, they sell games that have problems and the last far cry game on gog is far cry 2 from 2008. They only want your money, they dont want to provide you a "service" as they say. If this guy doesnt go away, ubisoft is gonna shut down.
it goes to show what motivated ppl can achieve vs sellouts.
old azz game
It's about the message
Still better than the Motorfest abortion
Motorfest is good but it's a FH clone.
TC1 is the best "real the crew" game imo.
True dat, but that's a low bar…at least half of the Forza Horizon games are awful open world Ubislop tier.
Similar to Far Cry, they are the same game on a different skin since 3.
The single player runs flawlessly so far, one hour in at least. Impressive work, and f*ck Ubislop.
I do not even understand how I ended up here, but I assumed this publish used to be great
Wish they made a working version of DarkSpore.
Marvel Heroes just got one and its still developing, now this. =|
You’re so awesome! I don’t believe I have read a single thing like that before. So great to find someone with some original thoughts on this topic. Really.. thank you for starting this up. This website is something that is needed on the internet, someone with a little originality!
The TCU Team made an amazing work. Shame on Ubisoft than a group of fan did better without the source code.
For people wondering how to install it, there are 2 cases
– if you have the game on Steam, you can still download it, so only patching is required
– if not (ex you had it on Uplay), you need to download the entire game then patch it.
If you google my name you should find my personal website, where I'm hosting 2 (open source) NSIS installers to handle these 2 cases.
I knew I would be able to use that gif one day. 😅 (Ross Scott for those who don't know him, who made lots of videos about the Crew) https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/438e476c4eaa4d71d476d9719912620f34643e65077677980d3322b7ececb855.gif

Guys, once again, CSRINRU is your friend.
Look for "The Crew (2014) v1.2.0.0 + TCU Offline + ALL DLC [PORTABLE]".
Still, judging from the comments, some might still need the "TCULauncher-1.1.2.0" and some crack like "The.Crew.TCU.Goldberg". Again, the search engine of CSRINRU will help you.
Game is only… 24 GB, apparently? That's surprising.
More reason to download it!
At least someone is bringing the info we need, instead of trying to preach.
Hats off to you, sir!
Where can i download the game files?
Had issues my ps5 controller would not work and used ds4windows and still would not work.
Good for the fans and even better to give the finger to those rats!
Game doesn't worth it, tho
Your video brought back 'Driver' memories… That's a cool game.
Since the video is 10yo, guess you had time to learn how to play it?
Anyway, thanks.
I got this game free from Ubisoft a few years ago ….. Wasn't all that impressed which is why it going away was no big deal to me
