Notes

  • This is an unofficial fork of CrewLink, for any problem, question, issue or suggestion you have with BetterCrewLink talk to us on our Discord, GitHub or message the developer on Discord (ThaGuus#2140), do not report any problems to The official Discord or GitHub of normal and official CrewLink as they will not help you.

  • We are not affiliated with CrewLink, we are just a modified/better version of the original CrewLink, so if you need help with CrewLink, we will not offer any help for you about CrewLink here, we will only help you if you are using BetterCrewLink, if you want to download BetterCrewLink look at the GitHub.

The original/normal CrewLink is now discontinued and that means the original/normal CrewLink will never be updated and will never work again, so BetterCrewLink is the only way to make your CrewLink works

CrewLink has been discontinued
