Seamless instancing; only eight players in an instance at any time.
Due to the game being designed for 30 fps, many users report erratic performance at higher framerates, including stuttering and severe framerate drops.
These issues are observed regardless of detail settings and resolution, even on high-end systems.
Locking the framerate at 30 fps (in video options) seems to alleviate most of the problems, resulting in much smoother overall gameplay.
Can give greater stability boost than above. Combine both.
Developer is informed about the issue.
The problem is entirely fixed by these driver's version and later.
When you buy The Crew on Steam, instead of downloading the game from there, use the keys that you'll get and validate and download the game directly on Uplay.
If you already installed The Crew from Steam, you can rename or move the installation folder and uninstall it from the Steam launcher, this way you'll maintain the game files so you can link them from the Uplay game properties tab.
