• PvP Changes:
  • Merged PVP lobbies: players will now be able to access all PvP missions from all zones in one lobby.

  All these PvP missions have also had their rewards rescaled to better match their length.

  
  
• TrackIR compatibility: TrackIR is now compatible with The Crew and allows players to control the car camera with head movements.

• Fixed a bug related to functionality issues of Thrustmaster T300 and T80 driving wheels on PS4.
• Fixed an issue related to the progression of certain Awards and Achievements.
  • For some Awards and Achievements, the progression was not correctly tracked and the Awards were not correctly completed.
• Fixed an issue where some Faction Missions didn’t display the proper duration.
  • Example: the Faction Mission “The Fugitive” that was considered as a long mission (over an hour) has been changed to a medium mission (10-60 min), accordingly it has had its reward rescaled to the new duration.
• Fixed some issues that were encountered when using text chat on PC.
• Improved camera stability at 60 frames per second.
• General stability improvements.
• Fixed an issue with the 6th gear on NISSAN Skyline GT-R (R34) Full stock.
