The “False Start 35” error in The Crew Motorfest is a frustrating connection issue that usually crops up when the game’s servers are out of sync with your local session or during high-traffic periods.
Since the game is “always online,” even single-player content can be affected.
Here is how to get back on the road:
1. Check Server Status (The “Is it them?” Step)
Before troubleshooting your hardware, check if Ubisoft is having a wider outage.
-
Official X (Twitter): Check @UbisoftSupport or @TheCrewGame.
-
Ubisoft Help: Visit the official service status page.
2. The “Hard Refresh” (Most Effective Fix)
This error is often caused by “stale” network data.
-
Console (Xbox/PS5): Fully shut down your console (not just Sleep/Rest mode). Unplug the power cable for 60 seconds, then restart.
-
PC: Close the game and the Ubisoft Connect/Epic/Steam launcher entirely via Task Manager, then relaunch as Administrator.
3. Network Troubleshooting
If the servers are up but you’re still stuck:
-
Clear DNS Cache (PC): Open Command Prompt and type
ipconfig /flushdns, then hit Enter. -
Disable Proxy/VPN: Motorfest is notoriously sensitive to VPNs. Ensure yours is turned off.
-
Switch to Wired: If you are on Wi-Fi, try a LAN cable. The game requires a very stable “heartbeat” connection to the servers.

4. File Integrity Check
If a small update failed to install correctly, it can trigger a False Start error.
-
Ubisoft Connect: Go to “Games” > Select The Crew Motorfest > “Properties” > Verify Files.
-
Steam: Right-click the game > “Properties” > “Installed Files” > Verify integrity of game files.
Quick Fix Table
If you are on… |
Try this first: |
| PlayStation/Xbox | Restore Licenses (PS) or Clear MAC Address (Xbox). |
| PC (Ubisoft) | Delete the C:\Users\[Name]\Documents\The Crew Motorfest folder (Back up saves first!). |
| Steam Deck | Force “Proton Experimental” in Compatibility settings. |
