So if we need to somehow pirate it we need to break ubisoft drm and rediect the calls for savedata that are supposed to be sent to the servers to a local storage
There is a possibility that the game actually has a hidden “production mode” where it allows offline play. Make sense though because the game developers must be able to run the game during production where the server hasn’t been up yet. Research into the possibility of reenabling this mode in retail build seems to be losing steam though. Looks like it picked up some steam again: https://steamcommunity.com/app/241560/discussions/0/4306075118785997064/
It can’t not have local save data. It can delete it at exit, sure, but it needs it to load the game properly. Save game extraction might be more complex, but it is still sent to the local machine.
Afaik there is no crack for The Crew because it stored your progress on ubisoft’s server and has no local save data.
There are cracks that managed this tho Nfs:World and wangan midnight comes to mind

Unless it’s a streamed game of course.
Seems like it.
