The Crew output was marked not only by the ability to drive sports cars with players from all over the world, but also by a bunch of bugs and errors that the developers fixed rather slowly. Many do not even launch The Crew Uplay version, which should work perfectly, given the cost of the product. However, not all problems are related to the game code. For most gamers, The Crew does not start due to weak hardware, and not bad optimization. Even after a while on the forums, you can meet users who still have problems, despite the patches. Today we will understand why The Crew does not start, but about everything in order.
Description
The Crew is a car simulator that has received a well-developed online mode. Two teams were involved in the development - Ivory Tower and Ubisoft, but everyone understands who got all the honors. The game was released on personal computers and consoles of the latest generation. December 2, 2014 users were able to download the full version.
The main emphasis in the game is on online. There is a single player campaign that can be completed in 20 hours. You can perform tasks alone or with friends on the Web. A permanent internet connection is required. The multiplayer mode gives you the opportunity to gather a group and together make races, as well as perform tasks.
The advantage of the game was an open world. Based on a map of the United States of America, only significantly less. The total length of roads is more than 10 thousand kilometers. The map is divided into 5 regions. To open them, you will need to complete tasks and participate in races. The regions differ among themselves, have unique sights. In addition, in the process of passing opens up new vehicles and improvements.
Undoubtedly, the game clearly deserves the attention of car racing fans. Having familiarized yourself with the key features, we will find out what to do if The Crew does not start.
System requirements
Before you start looking for possible errors that cause crashes and lags, you should find out if your PC is suitable for starting the game. The Crew does not start without constant access to the Internet, so it makes no sense to download repacks and try to install them. There is no working "pirate", and it is unlikely to appear, since it is difficult to bypass the protection that is provided by the constant sending of information to the developer's servers. Buy a licensed version that is more likely to start and cause less problems.
Minimum:
- To start, you will need the operating system Windows 7 or later. Works only with 64-bit versions.
- For stable operation at medium / high graphics settings, the rather old Core2 Quad Q9300 running at a clock frequency of 2.4 GHz is enough. Newer is better. From AMD, any processor with similar specifications is suitable.
- To the installed graphics card, The Crew is also undemanding. For a comfortable game, a GeForce GTX 260 or equivalent from AMD is enough. The required minimum video memory is 512 MB.
- For stable operation, 4 GB of RAM is enough. However, it is better to have a larger supply of RAM. Often The Crew does not start due to a lack of RAM.
- In addition to the mouse and keyboard, you can connect other peripheral devices, such as a gamepad or steering wheel.
Recommended:
- It works on Windows 7 and newer (64-bit versions).
- To realize the full potential of the game requires a Core i5 750 processor from Intel or equivalent from AMD.
- Maximum graphics settings will provide the graphics card GeForce GTX580 from Nvidia. Similar from AMD with 1 GB of video memory.
- Play without lags and crashes will allow 8 GB of RAM.
The requirements are pretty loyal, even most modern laptops can handle the game. If The Crew does not start, the program stops working, the black screen or low FPS, the first thing to try is to expand the amount of RAM.
Update
This step is required, each advanced user, when errors occur in the game, updates the drivers on the video card and other devices in the first place. Also, do it by downloading the latest versions from the manufacturer’s website. Typically, productivity increases significantly after this simple but effective action. Update other devices, such as a sound card, so as not to experience problems with noise and wheezing from the speakers.
Serious help can come from cleaning your computer from useless junk. You can do this manually or shift everything "onto the shoulders" of optimizer programs. Delete unnecessary programs, watched TV shows, music, old files - you will immediately notice how your PC will do its job faster.
Does not start
For many, The Crew does not start even after an update, so more effective measures will be needed. First, change the graphics settings in the game configurations. To do this, find the file along the path C: \ Users \ USERNAME \ Documents \ The Crew \. You can’t say with what parameters the game will start on your device, so experiment. Remember to make copies of the files you are modifying.
The brakes
The most common problem. Fix it can decrease graphics. Here you will have to build on the capabilities of the hardware and experiment, gradually raising the number of frames to an acceptable level. Some may benefit from a larger swap file. This can be done in the "Advanced System Settings", which can be found in the "Computer Properties" on the "Desktop". Also, cleaning up unnecessary processes in the task manager gives significant advantages, so do not neglect this.
Departures
The problem most often occurs among fans of high graphics settings. The solution will be to disable some effects that seriously load the computer's graphics card. Departures may occur due to lack of hard disk space. Some users have happened due to inappropriate PC configurations of the game. The only way to fix it is to install the latest patches or roll back to previous ones.
