    Calling All Units abort?

    Hi everyone, I got this "Calling All Units" patch shoved down my throat. The only reason I play The Crew is for the Free Roam in it. Now I'm stuck in this first mission, the "abort" is locked out so I can't abort, hell, I can't even get out of the game unless I use Ctrl-Alt-Delete. Is there a way to get out of this mission and get back to free roam mode?
    I'm in the mission, can't figure out how to complete it nor do I wish to waste my time doing so..... I just want free roam back. I wish game developers would stop shoving unwanted patches down our throats, I loved "The Crew" just the way it was when it came out.
    Any help anyone can offer would be appreciated, since, if there are no ways of getting back to free roam, I no longer have any use for this game and it will be deleted.
    Take care

    Thanks for the reply LCDDOG, my problem is I'm stuck in this mission, is there a key combination to log off once in the mission, like I said, I have to CTRL-ALT-DELETE to quit the game. This is the first mission I seen in "Calling all Units", the one where it takes you out of your car and puts you as a chick in a cop car and then you have to choose electronic toys to affect the cars you are chasing (haven't figured out how to use it) so I constantly fail the mission and have no other choice but to "try again". This is getting old really fast and I just want to get back to free roam. It's why I bought the game in the first place.
    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    As I understand, then you are on keyboard. Click on the + mark and then select one electronic toy. Then do the same with the other one. Then catch the escaping driver. I think you do not need to use the electronic toys to complete the mission, but you do have to catch the racer.
    The electronic toys can be activated while being less than 150m from the driver and using " , " or " . " on you keyboard.

    P6tu is correct. You have to finish that mission before you can continue back to regular play. My suggestion is to try and pin the other car and then use the electronic attacks to hold him there while the countdown finishes. After you get that mission done, you'll want to get Zoe to shut up about the "supposedly" free police car, that is actually just a forced ad to try and get you to buy CAU. Look on the forums for the post concerning that, as I actually wasted money on CAU and can't recall how to shut her up...

    You can disable Zoe's nagging on the first page of the settings by unelecting tutorial.

    Won't work

    That doesn't work either; as soon as you start the game again you're right back in the same mission. I don't think even Uplay knows how to get out of it.

    I'm actually stuck in the same mission (chasing someone in a police car and having to use electronic devices in doing so). Problem for me is to have to do too much things at the same time: Stay on the road AND use nitro to come close enough AND avoid staying too long in close range to get hit by grenades AND using electronic devices while being in close range AND getting back on track if accidentally hit by a grenade ... after several tries this isn't fun anymore, this is torture, and wish to get back to roaming without having to finish this damned story mission (which seems to be no option since abort is disabled here and even a restart of the game throws you into this same mission right away).

    So for me either "The Crew" will stay as "remnant of a game" on my hard disk until a solution is available, or it will be uninstalled since I would have no use of a game in such a "locked state" (which would be bad concerning having already visited all about 240 sights in free roaming mode).

    You need help with that?
    I find it bizarre that people are having trouble completing that 1st mission.
