Yeh same for me recently, it had been working fine

Just awesome work. Finally got my pc and tdu playing nicely together today. Was great to get back on the road and see some real ppl about. Thanks for all the hard work that undoubtedly went in to this. TDU LIVES!

Given the fact the game seems so heavily concerned with customising, why can't I paint my damn Maserati? Although I did manage to paint the Alfa. It wouldn't let me after I bought it but today I could choose from 2 metallic colours (hardly extensive choice although they were gunmetal grey or metallic blue which would have been my choices anyway)
 
I think its highly likely my car collection will be mainly exotic full stocks rather than gaudy tricked out perf spec versions so I don't see why I can't at least paint the damn thing. I wouldn't want a big silly rear wing and a carbon fibre bonnet on them anyway.
 
Have noticed some strange bugs, like when you do the first dirt race, I rocked up in my 8c and it said I needed a street spec car so it switched to my highest ranked street spec car, showed me arriving at the race in it, getting out and getting into a Nissan!
 
...so I didn't need a street spec then? Wouldn't mind but at the end of the race, did it put me back in my 8c.... No.
 
Have to say the missions where you're being chased annoy me too, I'm escaping from 3 big sedan looking things in a Ford GT but they somehow can keep up. And one of them managed a pit manouevre on me by hitting the front of my car with the rear of his!?!! Is that even physically possible? More annoying is this always puts you in some massive slide you can't recover from... the only way really is find a straight road and run away.
 
I did make it to Dirt Spec and spent most of my crew credits on aforementioned Maserati but also bought a Focus RS which I've have Dirt specced and that's a lot of fun. Also found the ski jump and spent quite a while there with some others doing Eddie the Eagle impersonations and the drifting is good fun on the snow. I think The Crew could be a good cruising game, I just wish it was more focused around beautiful cars and the open road than lame Fast and Furious style cars and tuning.

Something is better than nothing - in the beta there was no way to communicate with people if they weren't in your Steam/Ubi friends list, and that method was highly disruptive.
The big problem is that with no notifs is it's still potentially impossible to communicate with randoms if their chatbox is always hidden.
 
 
Maybe we need to come up with a universal horn morse code that means check the chatbox.
 
 
A small blinking icon to indicate new messages would suffice, short of an option for a classic TDU1 style text chat.

Maybe start a thread and list all your fears and Natchai can relieve some of The Crew-based ones. ;)
 
 
We can only point and laugh at the others though :toof:
