Driver Madness

I asked Gamersin on youtube to do this for me but he stopped answering.

I'm really interested, as I don't have the beta.

If any of you have the demo.

Could you go to a specific street for me in Havana in the Demo?

This street is totally abandoned in the final version and the cars that are going to turn in it turn themself off before driving into the street....
It's like in Ghost Town, no one drives into it... just in it. They turn themself off before entering the Ghost Town.

I want to see if in the Demo they would drive in these places, it would be interesting.

And why no-one drives in the church place... :s

Here is a link to the map and I put a dark blue line what the street is.

And when cars turn into it they always turn off and one time.... i was driving into the place and i saw a car parked in Dead Street turn on and off again instantly. :S First it was parked and then it started but turned off again instantly like it was going to drive off but couldn't :s

I really want to see what it was like in the beta, oh and cars are parked weirdly in it too.. like opposite direction and won't start normally like in other streets, cops do though. And if you check, can you post screenshots?

And also if i remember in a beta driver 2 video there were cars driving on some places like near the church in Havana, but that street is just plain weird.

i'm on it
i'll search for that
and i'll take screenshots too

Ahh wow.. that's good news, just do print screen and copy it in paint! then upload here ^^ Thanks!

Never heard of this, except for now. Sounds interesting though.

Yup, and damn it.... Same as with Gamersin, stopped answering. Anyone else? If somebody could make a video of himself driving through that street it would be sick ?

@runo

I haven't forgotten about it. I'm currently planning a video on some of the weird things I've found in the beta demo. With your findings in mind of course

oooh! Good to hear. Hehe, sorry... just hadn't heard from you in a looong time! I can't wait for your vid and thanks! ^^

Good luck with it man. :3

I've finished editing the video, but it failed to upload. I'll try again later and post it here

EDIT:

The video is up.



I'll look at the same street in the NTSC demo as it's a later build.

Edit: Just watch his really great video, And I noticed that the street was once fully alive and full of cars drivinig through it :/ but now in the final version only has one "parked" / frozen car without ignition on the wrong side of the road and everyone who tries to turn / enter the street turns / ignites himself off.

HUGE Thanks go to gamersin!

In the NTSC demo that I have in my laptop, the traffic would go anywhere (even on the road to the compound), except for the area around the church.

Woah!! :/ Damn... I knew there should have been traffic in these places: The Ghost Street, To the Compound and around the church. And maybe in Urcha in Rio too.
I watched a beta video on youtube from a magazine or something long time ago ... and there were cars driving normally around the church.

But yea, gamersin, please upload a video of the NTSC version. looking forward to it.

I'll need to download the NTSC version again. I can't find it anywhere on my computer.

I can pm you a working link to the NTSC version I have :3

@0takumetalheadgamer

Yes please

One reason that some roads aren't used could be that with all the vehicle types (10 in total) that it would ask to much of the ram memory.

They probably screwed up the AI paths for the cars sometime during development. There's a similar problem on one of the Driver 1 roads for the PC, cars turn onto a road and disappear. It has nothing to do with too much RAM being used or whatever, it's a developer error regarding AI.

Makes me curious which road in D1 you mean.

Wait a sec, I'll check it out ;P

edit:
i didn't noticed anything. I noticed an AI bug in another place.


Sometimes civils tries to take this curve too wide and goes out of the invisible wall. Like I marked

You where 3 blocks off (the block closest to the downtown text is the one).
Anyway, never noticed it before xD

Sorry, I think I can post this thing here, can't I?

Water tile where you can sink in Driver PC

There are so much sinkable water tiles, it's not only there

Yea if you use the get "Outside the Airport Glitch" in LA you can drive around the outside and sink in the water on the other sider of the city. The version I did this in was the PSX version.
