    Automatic gears not shifting, stuck at 60mph

    Wanted to start playing the game, and I found out in the opening race (Car) I can hold the gas pedal all the way down (Xbox Elite controller) and it slows down to around 60 mph in 1st gear and stays there.Not a single button anywhere on my mouse, keyboard or controller helps.

    Thought it might be a bug with the mission itself, so I crawled through the opening. The boat and plane part worked fine. Afterwards, joining a second race (Streetrace) produced the same issue. I've googled the issue and found multiple other people with the same issue, yet no solution. Same for this forum.

    The game in this state is unplayable to me. I've played the first Crew game perfectly fine with the same PC, same Controller, and never encountered any issues.

    I hope someone has an answer to this, as I greatly enjoyed the first game, and would love to play this one too.

    Have you checked your controller's deadzone settings?
    And can you maybe provide a video?

    Also, at first glance it sounded like you had the Elite's trigger-lock in place perhaps, but then you would not have been able to go fullspeed with the boat or the plane.

    boats and planes dont use gears so naturally it wouldn't affect them if "stuck in 1st"

    Make sure you actually are in Automatic.
    You can also try to use any of the other gearshift options and see if they work.

    It most definitely is a controller issue. Restarted a couple times and tried different settings. Nothing's working.

    When I disconnect the controller, the keyboard works flawlessly, but it's a keyboard. I'd love to be able to use it. I have never altered any control schemes for any game, so far in every game I connect the controller it just works.

    I will fiddle around some more to see if I can find any info. I cannot make the issue more clear than it is. A video would show you a perfectly fine running game, except with speed unable to go past 60mph and gear in 1st. Thx for the quick responses

    Latest update: Xbox Elite still doesn't work. However, connecting a different controller solves the issue. Still no idea why the Xbox Elite works perfectly in menu's, boats, planes etc but bugs out in cars. Weirdest controller issue I've ever had.

    Hey, LincolnSixVacan!

    Thanks for getting in touch about this. This issue has been reported before and was caused by the game not being fully updated. To make sure that everything is installed correctly we recommend completely uninstalling the game (along with any stored saves) and install it again.

    If the issue stays, please provide us with a video, so that we can forward it to the Crew 2 team.

    I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

    Hello Honeymonster722, I am sorry to hear of this issue.

    Have you attempted any troubleshooting so far, such as reinstalling the game, or testing with a different controller?

    Does the issue persist across multiple PlayStation Accounts, if you are able to test the game on another account?

    Potential Fix

    Was having this issue myself and not sure if anyone still would be having issues but I fixed mine. In the controls settings after turning my throttle linearity, dead zone and clamping all the way down my cars shifted perfectly in automatic no issues at all with controller
