    Friend is invisible.

    So my buddy recently bought The Crew, but whenever we join into the game I can rarely ever see him in game. I can see him on the map usually, but his car is always invisible. Sometimes if I'm near him for long enough his car will finally appear, but after we drive for a bit he ends up disappearing again. I don't seem to have the same problem viewing anyone else except for my friend in my crew, and both of our NAT are open.

    I never had this problem before, but I haven't really played the crew since before the Calling All Units DLC. Am I the only one who's having this problem? It's really ruining the fun not being able to see him.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    No, unfortunately it is like this for everyone. The Calling All Units DLC's chase invite system constantly takes players out of the 'instances' they're in. As a result, even friends and crewmates disappear from your game world every time there is a chase invite sent somewhere.

    I don't know how it is on the PS4 version but on PC the game is often excruciatingly slow to re-load players into your freedrive instance as well. I often drive for 10-15 minutes and only see one or two other players, sometimes none at all.

    The devs broke their game badly with the release of CAU, I haven't seen anything to indicate they feel any shame in the matter but they bloody well should be.

    Well that really sucks. Seeing as how the DLC was released in November and it still hasn't been fixed, I'm guessing that I shouldn't get my hopes up that there will be a fix anytime soon...
