Driver Madness

Here is what I received today from the U.S.








4 install discs and 1 play disc

hehe reminds me when i bought my first Driv3r copy from america on Ebay. i think i still have it. but the CD's have gone Chernobyl :c

Five discs?! 1C version (it's a Russian localization/version) takes one disk)

Those all probably all CDs instead of one DVD that came out later. I like it because of the bigger box.

Indeed. But for me it's more a collectible item i should say, such as the mugs or the strap.
The box has the same size than a dvd case ( height + lenght ).

looks so good!

I'd be curious to know what the contents of each disc are. And by that, I mean extracting the files from each disc using one of those setup extractors (like how I got the music from the demo installer)

Well here is the contents of the discs :

Screens from the first install disc.

wait there was a version of driv3r on 1 disk? ( sorry for bumping) I guess since I have all 5 disks it makes me special lol. the cool thing about these disks is that you can install the game on old laptops that didn't have a dvd drive does the dvd version install faster? I always ated and still do hate the installation time on the cd's. DPL installs in a few minutes off the dvd and it takes up more space

I have a DVD version, distributed by Atari. I've always liked CD versions though, changing discs feels so classic.

but the cd version can't be patched and has more broken lighting then the dvd version i'm thinking of buying the dvd version so I can patch it

Skylab, can you convert those BMP install backgrounds to PNG and upload them somewhere? They look perfect for desktop backgrounds.

Cool, thanks.

Thai version for sale on eBay.

This packaging version is rather interesting.

Where'd you get your CD version, Sky? I want one.

From ebay.

it is bump I know it but I don't care about. There isn't too much crowded place I am not sure but I think cd version's police AI is better than DVD version's. For example on DVD version when I was driving with high speed or out of traffic rules polices cannot notice to me. If I crash them(sometimes they still cannot notice ) or crash to peds they are attacking but on cd version they are little bit more intelligent in my opinion but of course maybe I can be wrong

You know the DVD version is just a grouping of all the files of the CD version (one day I recreated a DVD iso with all the CD files). I don't think it influences the AI.

Of course maybe it is little bit illusion on my eyes

Fireboyd has confirmed that the US CD version executable is identical to the DVD version but with SecuROM protection on it. There are no differences between the CD and DVD versions of Driver 3.

I have original CD release(european) too but it doesnt work with play disk on win7 so i had to get a crack to run Driver 3. Just another game that proves how bad DRMs are.....
