@Danson ; you're welcome mate. So now we know that reinstalling Win10 could fix the problem.
@Grimm43 ;
The first thing I do everytime I logon (well almost everytime) is to run the xfinity race, just to make sure the problem didn't reappear. Happy to say, my game is still bug free.
So you're saying the map loading bug reappear the second time you run xfinity race ? Can you remember what you did between the first and second run of that infinity race? What kind of software/apps/utility got installed, any kind of registry/performance tweak, hardware change, anything at all ...
I'm new to Windows 10, but it should have some sort of restore registry function. Perhaps you could restore the registry to the point just after the reinstall of your Win10 system.
PS : I might just found an easier/faster way to do this, press "Windows + I", select "Update & Security", then "Update History", select "Recovery Options", then click Get Started on the "Reset this PC" section. You'd see 2 options, 'Keep My Files' and 'Removes Everything'. Choose "Keep My Files".
I'm not seeing this will work cause I haven't tested it. But it might just do the same thing. Or not.
First thing I did was reinstall Windows 10 while keeping my apps. Took me almost an hour.
The second thing was to open Windows Firewall with Advanced Security and remove duplicate entries for The Crew as well as make sure it was added as an exception for both Inbound and Outbound rules with "All" enabled under "Profile" tab.
Can anyone with this issue let me know if the second thing works without reinstalling Windows 10?
Tried it today. Deleted duplicates. Rules are set both for thecrew.exe and thecrewlauncher.exe, inbound and outbound both allowed for all. Map still not loading properly.Originally Posted by void_error Go to original post
Despite owning all the DLC so far, I won't be purchasing Calling All Units because of the two issues - this map not loading bug, and random crashes; "The Crew program has stopped working".
I never seem to be able to play one session without crashing out at some stage. If the game does not crash, often I will have to ALT-F4 to close it due to the terrain not loading bug - a classic example is when I try the free-drive challenge and try to do a saved favourite - if the favourite challenge is in a different area, the game just locks on a black screen after teleporting. When you ALT-F4 to close the game, you briefly see the game and it is always your vehicle on a familiar grey background with no terrain loaded.
So I am waiting to see if, by some miracle, the issue is fixed by the CAU DLC. If not, I cant see the logic of paying another £20 towards a game with these bugs...
