Well, first of all I would like to say that I'm glad to see driver enthusiest still exist out there today. I used to play this game alot when it first came out. I decided to dust it off the other day and play through it again to bring back old memories. One memory (not so fond) that I have of it is being nearly impossible to actually play. In order to actually get into the game, you have to beat the training mission. WHAT.... THE.... F#$%? This is so incredibly hard, it takes away from the game. I've been playing for the past 3 hours trying to get past it and I simply can't. I seem to remember having the exact same problem the first time I played and found a patch to bypass the training level.

I mean seriously, the game it self is not that hard... why is the training level almost impossible? I've watched the "demo" mode but it doesn't make any sense to me. What is a 180 degree turn supposed to be? To me that means taking the car and making it immediatly go from one direction to the opposite. Why the game doesn't recognize that I'm doing that is beyond me. I mean seriously, has anyone else sat there for hours trying to beat the training mission just so they can move on to the game? It boggles my mind :shock: Is there someway to bypass it?

For starters, I've sat through the entire test and finally got it finished however every single other time I played the game I skipped it. It took me ages to complete but I finally passed the test.

There is a way to bypass it once your sick and tired of trying to pass the test.

So by following the following instructions you can easily get past...
NOTE: If you can't be bothered following the instructions below go down to the very bottom of the post to receive instructions in downloading the patch I just showed you to create.

Step 1: Go into the main DRIVER directory commonly installed by default as "C:\Program Files\GT Interactive\Driver\"

Step 2: Open up the data folder

Step 3: Right-Click mladder.dml and press open

Step 4: Check Select a program from the list, Press (OK)

Step 5: Find "Notepad" and press "Ok"

Step 6: Now you should see the following in notepad
Code: Select all

Step 9: Go to file and then press save.

Step 10: Load up the game go into undercover mode and your done.

Alternatively you can go here and download a patch which unlocks all the cheats in the game and what your looking for is one of the cheats.

[hr]

And Alternatively again you can download the attached file I just created and copy it into the data folder --> "C:\Program Files\GT Interactive\Driver\data" please read the read me for further instructions.

[hr]

Hopefully I answered you question and now you can continue playing DRIVER and if your stuck at a mission you should know what to do just to remove a piece of code just as I showed you above.

Thanks for the help. I had tried that from another site (the manual editing part) and for some reason had no luck. After another hour or so into finally playing the game, I find it impossible to get past the first level. I don't know how all of these years past could have caused me to suck at this game so badly. It's so frustrating. I guess I'll wipe it and go back to playing Unreal. Thanks for the help though!

Just before you go back to playing "Unreal" try that patch file that I've attached to this post.

There should be a video of the training session anyway, just watch it, once you understand what you have to do to pass the exam you will see your driving style will increase a lot :wink:
