I just recently bought The Crew, but It’s not really playable with fun. Because it crashes between 2-60minutes after a fresh start of the Game. The only thing which it’s telling me is: “NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver, Version 344.75” doesnt react anymore..
It really keeps me from playing this game, because It’s only happening in The Crew

Hi guys iv got a copy of the crew on ps4 it just stays on the crew loading screen then keep’s going back to press any button to play it’s really driving me mad any help ?
Hi guys, ive an xbox 360 and it loads, plays the music from the car for a second shows my car then starts loading again and then freezes a second after it starts loading again towards the start, please help
Same thing happened to me. If you do not have enough storage in the hard drive, it wont work. U need a minimum of 8MB. If the back of your 360 u don’t have ” XBOX 360 S Hard Disk Internal DISC For Microsoft XBOX360 120gb HDD Slim Hard Drive”, then u should get one. It will work with it, not to mention, you would have plenty of storage for whatever you need. This one is 120MB. But you can get others. A flash drive will not work no matter the size. It just doesn’t have the power to run this game. Hope that helps.
But i went out and bought a bigger hard drive with 30GB of storage and it still does it?
Sorry to hear that. My best answer to that is to contact Uplay and explain your situation. Good Luck
Alright, thanks for the help, I really appreciate it!
Jack Mine is doing the same thing.

hi, I play The Crew via Uplay on PC, when I first got the game I had no issues after Uplay updated the game it became unstable, now I can only play for about 2hour MAX then it freezes, more often it freezes in a loading screen or when loading the map, I’d assume its a bug but it makes it hard to enjoy playing the game, I checked my PC over and I have no faults and all my drivers are uptodate.
Hey can someone please help me every time I try to start up the game it just freezes and that’s every single time and I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling it and still didn’t work I’ve even gone back to the shop and told them and it’s not worked could I please have some help
