As Tanner, you're going undercover to be the wheelman for a crime syndicate in order to break open a big case. On the way, you'll eliminate competition, drive getaway cars, scare some people silly, evade plenty of police, dodge bad guys, smash through a few windows, save your love interest, and much more through four cities (Miami, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York).
Perform authentic manuevers like donuts, 180 spin, 360 spin, reverse 180 spin, and more as you cut through alley ways, across sidewalks and parks, smash park benches and and drive over traffic cones. Many different cars to try (most you'll recognize). Will you save the day?
Also includes pratice modes such as Practice, Carnage (cause as much damage as you can), Dirt Track (time trials), Pursuit (you chase someone), Survival (4 super cops chase you), Lose the Cop (avoid that one cop on your back), and Drive About (just drive about the city and admire the scenery).
Game also includes a full director's mode, allowing you to place cameras to catch the best moments in the custom replay file.

Repack Notes
- US version
- Patch v2.1
- NoCD
- Fully working music from the original CD (ripped audio tracks as .ogg & working with "winmm.dll")
- In-game music working fine without looping
- Game executables modified to support the following resolutions
1280 x 720
1366 x 768
1920 x 1080
Should you encounter any problems just replace game executables with the non-patched ones from game directory - "~Backup" folder.
If in game the tyres of the vehicle aren't visible then try configuring the graphics with "Primary Display Adapter" or "dgVoodoo Graphics Adapter"
YOU MUST ABSOLUTELY RUN THE CONFIG SHORTCUT FIRST OR THE GAME WILL NOT RUN
While configuring the display settings your display may flicker and the config setup may stop working, in such case try again and again until it works
- Redefined keyboard buttons to use W,A,S,D while driving, R-Shift to spin wheels & Space key for handbrake
- Works with Windows 10
Repack v2 changelog:
- Enabled cheats screen
- Maxed out graphics settings
- Added AppCompat flags in the registry for Desktop Window Manager - 8 and 16 bit mitigation (DWM8And16BitMitigation)
Without this the game configuration wouldn't start on some systems
Repack v3 changelog:
- dgVoodoo included
Repack v4 changelog:
- Fixed a noob mistake from back in the days when 'MagiPack Games' was established -- this version now includes cutscenes!
Keep in mind that this game was the first one that started it all with the repacks ;)
- To enable Carnage Mode, on main menu select "Car Chases", then "Load Film Replays", select "1. Carnage Mode", when it loads the replay press Esc button and Exit the replay (unless you wanna watch it). Now you have Carnage Mode (your car essentially destroys all other cars)
Repack v5 changelog:
- The installer is now component based and dgVoodoo is no longer forced, which means the game is now again playable on Windows XP
You can also choose whether to include game cutscenes & music or not
- The original (4:3 aspect ratio) executables are now named "config.exe.original" & "Game.exe.original" in the root directory of gamedir
- Fixed a minor installer bug
Repack v6 changelog:
- Just found out this level patch which fixes some collision problems in New York City and Los Angeles
Allright there should be no more updates, having that many updates just shows you the commitment & effort put to make the best of the best
Repack v7 changelog:
- Added EAX support on Windows Vista and newer
- Small dgVoodoo config to prevent solid-colored polygons on newer AMD graphic cards
Repack v8 changelog:
- Updated dgVoodoo to v2.78.2 and added the option to the installer to include the DirectX 12 config for dgVoodoo (previously it installed the DX12 config by default since v7 of this repack)
Repack v9 changelog:
- Updated dgVoodoo to v2.82.3 (this version of dgV seems like it has fixed the AMD white texture bug) & added Glide support with nGlide (now the game by default uses Glide)
If the game doesn't run, open the configuration from the Config shortcut and set a new screen resolution
- Restored the original game executables since the previous widescreen ones didn't play nice with Glide
- Unlocked ALL cheats
If you play Newcastle from the cheats menu the music will be turned off in the settings automatically for some reason
(Reminder) To enable Carnage Mode, on main menu select "Car Chases", then "Load Film Replays", select "1. Carnage Mode", when it loads the replay press Esc button and Exit the replay (unless you wanna watch it). Now you have Carnage Mode (your car essentially destroys all other cars)
- Added the option in the installer to skip the garage interview (this will completely eliminate it from the game and it's not the same as with disabling it from the cheats menu)
- Higher quality music (previously 320 Kbps, now 480 Kbps)
- Cleaned up some useless files from the gamedir
Remember to uninstall the previous repack if you have it with a dedicated software uninstaller program such as Revo Uninstaller!

Hello, thank you for great repack, but i have some issue with hud only in widescreen modes
ReplyDeletehttps://ibb.co/JxWn7pC
Not open
ReplyDeleteHello, it seems that the download link does not work anymore. Could you please have a look into this? Thank you :-)
ReplyDeleteFixed
DeleteAre the links legit? I keep getting a message saying the site may have malware activity.
Delete@Joe Marks, they are legit and ad-supported. Just click on Skip button in the top right corner
DeleteAny chance of controller support here? Can't seem to make it work with any controllers--option doesn't even show up.
ReplyDeleteUse Xpadder
DeleteGOD BLESS YOU. I cannot thank you enough for this amazing repack. Just a quick question though, the config file doesn't work. "save settings" button is greyed out, is there a way to fix this?
ReplyDeleteWhen the "save settings" button is grayed out it means that you must first press the "Test config" button and if it says "OK", then you can save the config. Try different settings
DeleteRepack works great, even with 3Dfx using the unpatched Game.exe and config.exe
ReplyDeleteMy only gripe is that the Newcastle level has no working music, but the rest of the maps and main menu do. Probably a minor oversight? But I just wanted to let you know. Cheers!
Wheels and hud do not come out. How can I fix it?
ReplyDeleteYou have anyone have reports of this working on steam deck? I can install and play the game fine on my PC, and I was able to configure it for the steam deck, but when it launches, it shows the first 3 splash screens, and hangs at a black screen which I believe is the dripping pipe fmv. I tried with and without dgvoodoo, but they both do the exact same thing. Any ideas? Thanks
ReplyDeleteWe don't have Steam Desk, sorry
DeleteI'll keep trying, thanks anyways. Have you or do you know anyone who tried this on linux at all? This would be the same as steam deck, really.
DeleteI figured it out: You need to have dgvoodoo installed. Then, just need to set the proton version to Proton Experimental, and then set the launch options as:
DeleteWINEDLLOVERRIDES="DDraw.dll,D3DImm.dll,winmm=n,b" %command%
There's still an issue with FMVs not playing correctly and only showing a test pattern. I'm assuming it's due to some codec issue with wine/proton.
proton-GE version 6.21-2 will fix the fmv issue. Now the game works flawlessly! I hope this helps someone else!
Deletei cant seem to download any of your links it just keeps on downloading opera
ReplyDeleteUse Google Chrome
DeleteThere is a problem with "Driver - You are the Wheelman" v9 repack. Everyhting works well, exept this crashes the game : select "take a ride", select "Los Angeles", choose any car and the game crashes before the day-night select screen. It says : "FATAL : Can't allocate 3D hardware", it happens only in "Los Angeles", so I think it's something with the Los Angeles files. It's time for v10 repack, I supose :)
ReplyDeleteBut it works here... Did you uninstall the previous repack version with Revo Uninstaller? The other thing I could suggest you try is to open the config window from the separate shortcut and change the render device and/or play with different settings from that config box
DeleteIf it worked on your side, this means the problem is on my side. It's just a very weird problem, "Can't allocate 3D hardware" on a specific game location. It was a clean install. I will not bother you anymore, and I will play with the 3D settings outside and inside the game, until it runs fine. Thanks, greetings to Greece!
DeleteYeah it most probably is on your side as I also tested v9 on my other machines and there was no such issue. Also Los Angeles in Driver 1 doesn't have a day/night cycle, it's only night. Cheers
DeleteI have been trying for hours to get Driver working on my Windows 11 PC. I have scoured the internet for many solutions, but none have worked for me.
ReplyDeleteI have continuously gotten the same error "Driver Exception Handler - Application Error - Click OK to close."
I have tried many configuration settings with Glide, my AMD Ryzen 7 4800U, and using dgVoodoo adjustments with no success. Is there anyone who can please help me get Driver working on my Windows 11 PC?
It's not your fault. Windows 11 is broken
DeleteHey there Magito, Dropping by to inform you that the Driver 1 Widescreen fix has been updated by AlphaYellow on PCGamingWiki. Now it has proper HUD and Fixed FOV!! please update the fix here, thanks!
ReplyDeleteUseless, I was the first to patch it in 2020 and now that I try this crap in Glide it is the same result as if it was with my original patched executables
Deleteis there no possible way to work this in? the scaled hud is really nice and the widescreen without FOV adjustment feels quite zoomed in.
DeleteLike I said before, this "patch" when executed for 1920 x 1080 in Glide mode it gives horrible results. 1:1 the same as with my previous manual hex-editing work. Also when I tried it in DirectX mode the configuration couldn't pass the test (therefore it couldn't save the configuration), meanwhile in my previous patched executables it did pass all tests. I no longer have my old executables, maybe you will find them in some archive.org MagiPack repository, the difference is minimal when upscaled with dgVoodoo (talking from a 1080p screen perspective)
