Anybody know if it's the same demo that just came with the new PC gamer demo disc? If so, dont waste your time... you only get about a minute of driving time, and if you lose the cop before the minute is up, you're done.

Please read the ng (and the mission script hacks posted here) before posting ill-informed rants. Even if you got the unofficial one, this one is worth the download.

says... Yet another driving game that doesn't (apparently) support split-axis pedals. Boo! What's so frickin' hard about it? --jhb

Try renaming the 346 to 661, I think you'll be happy. :-) Jon

cancellation warned.

The PC Gamer edition is about 35mb compared to about 14mb for the old demo. The PC Gamer one supports joysticks and has a couple of demo movies. The modified .dms file still works. And don't forget, if you change the PlayerCarType parameter (from 0-12) you can get any of 13 autos including the cop car.

Did they remove it from their site or something? It really isn't on that site anymore. I went to the ftp site of gtinteractive, and in the driver directory there are still only movies and pictures... Andre

It's not on GT's site. The download is handled by Gigex. You'll have to go to the demo page at the official Driver site to download the client, like the way IE5 download was handled.

Sorry Jan... I don't get the chance to read every post every day... didn't know there were other hacks to help this game out. Even if you weren't kind enough to put forth any info, thanks to the guys that pointed me in the right direction... I'm gonna try it again as soon as I get out of here. Maybe then I'll have a well-informed "rant"...

If you use those settings as the file mission661.dms in the driver demo/scripts/mission directory, you have all the time in the world to lose the cop and you can keep driving afterwards until you destroy your car. === snip here === // Driver Mission Script v0.1a // (c)1998 Reflections Software ########################################################## # Draft mission script for Getaway, Miami # # By Tony M Roberts # ########################################################## //************** INITIALISATION ***************** // Make sure player cant move during startup...

I couldn't remember were I got them myself, sorry. Jan. ---- > Sorry Jan... I don't get the chance to read every post every day... didn't know > there were other hacks to help this game out.

>When I click on 'Get the demo now!' I only can see pictures and >movies, no link to the demo file... That's what I saw when I first visited the page. But on a second attempt, they had changed the linked page to guide you to the download procedure. Did you try to reload the page? Maybe an old version was still stuck in your proxy cache.
