The next patch for racer The Crew from Ubisoft has been detailed and will be arriving next week. Among the list of changes is hopefully a final fix to the player statistics bug that display wrong stats or even resets them.
Previous stats can’t be restored, they reveal. The dev team has also improved the AI in some missions, including police behaviour in chases. Opponent cars ‘follow more’ instead of always taking us down.
