Upcoming open world racing title, The Crew, has been delayed again, being pushed back until the 2nd of December. However, the extra time is being used to remove the 30 frames per second lock on the PC version of the game, allowing PC players to get the full experience.
As you may know, The Crew's betas on the PC was locked to 30 frames per second, although this was unlockable via a configuration file found in the game's directory. Now, speaking to TechRadar, The Crew's lead designer, Serkan Hassan, has confirmed that Ubisoft is following through on its earlier promise and making sure 60 frames per second is working at launch for PC users.
“Ultimately the performance and the frame rate will be down to the players hardware. A few people in the closed beta found ways of unlocking the frame rate. My understanding at this moment is that we'll be allowing players to do that come the full version as well, unless some other issue comes to light which would block that in any way.”
The Crew will also support triple monitor resolutions at launch and presumably, the use of racing peripherals as well.

KitGuru Says: So it looks like Ubisoft has come to its senses and is working on removing the 30 frames per second lock on The Crew- which is really for the best, racing titles definitely offer a better experience at higher frame rates. Did any of you guys play The Crew's beta? Did you try unlocking the frame rate? How did it perform?

whoa should we be thankfull for something that’s ehm .. a freaking standart? The least? The self-evident? No, you should thank us for realising that if you’d continue to fuck up things the critism would rise against you. Even more than it’s now.
Just bare in mind that in the beta we could enable 60hz using a config file modification. However it was not possible to get the game to run at 120-144hz at all, it was still capped. I suspect this will remain the case and while its great 30 fps isn’t the cap there is no need to cap the game to 60hz either.
can they remove the optinal microtransation system as well..
But it’s more Cinematic!!!
Its ubisoft how can you believe anything they say?
Canceled my order
“…unless some other issue comes to light which would block that in any way.””
Name one. Name just one single scenario where a 1500$ PC, equipped with monster dual graphic cards, 8 thread CPU at over 4Ghz and 32GB of RAM, could NOT run a DX11 game @ 60 FPS @ 1080p? The motherfucker is keeping one exist door open to put the 30 FPS lock back in!
Those Neanderthals should learn not to insult the intelligence of their customers. NEVER pre order games, especially from pathological lairs like Ubisoft. Wait until it’s out, running at over 60FPS with no lock AND the 2-3 patch is out so it’s actually not a broken and buggy pre alpha.
no 24fps is true cinematic! Stop being a graphics whore…… JK
