Driver: San Francisco - Felony Rework Update 2.3 Overview

[@Olanov]

Seeing as quite a few people are finding their way here who had no idea modding scene for DSF was even a thing, I'd like to welcome you to the biggest Driver community there is, at Driver Madness Discord, along with a basic Q&A below: discordapp.com/invite/sxt45rR Q: Where can I get Driver: San Francisco? A: It is no longer sold digitally in any official capacity, so you must find key resellers or retail copy. Unfortunately the most typical way you have to obtain it now is simply pirating it. Q: Is this mod available on PS3 or 360? A: No, the mod is PC only as of right now. Q: I have run into issue x, what do I do? A: Post the Driver.log from the main game folder either at Driver Madness Disccord's help channel, or on the ModDB page for the mod, or my private messages there. Also explain what lead up to the issue, especially if you don't have any logs available. Q: What can I expect from the Driver Madness Discord? A: You'll find channels for Driver (duh), or more general related things, dedicated sections for the fan game The Driver Syndicate, as well as reverse engineering efforts like ReDriver2 or OpenDriver. There's often something going on and I hope you'll like your stay!

I'm one of those people and i'm a little bit in shock right now.

[@Olanov]

@@cikame Ha! You're not alone.

[@harleydavidson3182]

Would you know where I can find this game? Is it on GoG? I'm assuming I need a copy before I can mod correct? I've missed playing this game had em all as I was growing up.

[@Olanov]

@@harleydavidson3182 It is no longer sold except for resellers. You must seek alternate methods.

[@rayojordan2838]

I too didn’t know this existed and it is great👍🙏 thanks for the hard work

[@arctic_andrew]

I'm so glad youtube randomly recommended this to me, i didn't know DSF even had mod support, let alone a mod this well made. Congrats!

[@Olanov]

When the YT algorithm works! Glad you made it here with us.

[@timmie426]

Same here!

[@PolarbearYGT]

Same!!!!!! One of my favourite games just got a reason to be reinstalled! better

[@tylerc161]

Also came here randomly, had no idea this existed

[@darkpit1303]

Bro fr, i still remember when everyone said it would be impossible to mod in the 60's traffic and now look where we are

[@johnhiggins8221]

The fact they managed to get licenced vehicles for this game along with the damage physics was amazing for the time. Wish we could have something like now on next gen.

[@VortexStory]

Now that's a Driver game!

[@Olanov]

But is it still in Alpha? 😳

[@KayoMichiels]

@@Olanov It's always in Alpha... the players are the Beta testers.

[@maxlink8711]

Amazing to see this game still getting mod content to this day!

[@Predatorace]

Thanks for all the incredible work you've done on this mod Olanov!

[@Olanov]

Thanks for all the incredible support! :)

[@Don_Ramiro]

This feels like a official DLC, amazing work. Fixes one of the biggest complains I had with Driver SF, the completely lack of a Felony system.

[@Olanov]

Thank you! I have tried to make it as seamless as possible.

[@redneck472]

This used to be the only game I played in around 2014-ish. Very surprised people still play this wonderful game, let alone mod it!

[@Olanov]

One of my favorites, that one! Gotta give it its due.

[@jamil027]

I wish the online was still available on PC!

[@Olanov]

@@jamil027 You'll be very surprised to find out it is! Third party, but it works. Check out Alcatraz for DSF, a custom online service for it.

[@matushka__]

Olanov out with the craziest, best and most in-depth mods for games noone has access to anymore. Great work!

[@Olanov]

Thanks you fantastic person you!

[@RaccoonCityPoliceDept]

You can still get the game with physical copies. I bought it for a PS3 I had laying around and love the game even with vanilla stuff.

[@ugolattanzio9152]

BROOO i literally love u. Thank you for improving my favourite game of childhood. My eyes were "😳" while i saw new felony system, roadblocks, "scan" camera as a cop, and much more. All the lovers of Driver San Francisco are appriciating you for this work, good luck!! (if i wrote some words incorectly, i'm sorry, regular russian person who is learning english ;) )

[@Olanov]

Don't fret! I'm happy you're happy! Thanks for your kind words.

[@zippoboy00]

This game has always been criminally underrated. Great work Olanov

[@Olanov]

I appreciate it!

[@TamiyaGuy123]

Holy crap, this is bringing back some memories. I never knew that Driver: SF even _could_ be modded, let alone that you're able to add in whole-ass gameplay changes like this. And they honestly seem like more than a simple gimmick, and a nice way of changing up the post-endgame 100% runthroughs beyond just fast-travelling to every movie chase and car challenge. This might well be enough to persuade me to go for another playthrough, thanks!

[@Olanov]

Thank you! I hope it lives up to the expectation. :D I wasn't quite certain either when I started off, just how easy it would be (it wasn't, I didn't know LUA at all), but we made it anyway.

[@antonj.2408]

I just wanted to say thank you for your amazing work. Driver San Francisco is still my favorite racing game to this day, most importantly thanks to the car handling and police chases. I'm really impressed how you are able to add completely new elements to this game. Thanks!

[@raiyou183]

Now I understand why it took you almost a year to release this new version with many exciting news/changes here and there, nicely done 😀

[@Olanov]

Thank you! Maaaaybe it would've also come out a little faster if I hadn't worked on other projects... 👀

[@sadboyz1132]

I have no words. What you have done for the community is amazing and you should be rewarded for it

[@Olanov]

Thank you!

[@redhunnid5142]

I swear modders have to mod this game like they did Asetto Corsa it has really hood traffic with good physics 🔥🔥🔥

[@moto3463]

This game played a huge part of my childhood. Good work man.

[@Olanov]

I appreciate it!

[@Supercon57]

Phenomenal work This must have taken so much time and passion Thank you

[@Olanov]

No, thank you!

[@twennyseeks]

I had no idea this mod existed/someone was working on this game. This is so cool

[@chernobylthing3932]

The fact this game is getting any mod support at all is wild, let alone the level of this mod. Great work dude, can't wait to check it out!

[@Olanov]

Thanks! I'm super happy quite a few people are just now finding out that the mod scene is a thing!

[@Fernbahner]

Stumbled upon this video and i must say, i am totally amazed. Thank you for your hard work. Driver SF never looked and felt like a Driver game to me, thanks for bringing that feeling back!

[@ThyFletchr]

I hope that soon, we see jurisdiction improvements or something like that.

[@Crazy_Borg]

Thanks youtube recommendations. I never knew there was a modding community behind Driver San Francisco, time for me to follow that up!

[@Olanov]

Super happy YT algorithms seem to be actually doing some good!

[@christianocampos158]

Just downloaded it, it works great! The car chases really have been accentuaded with the work you've been able to put into this (I also installed the Stimulus Package and the Mod Menu) but I think I found the first bug; during the first cop police drug bust where you have to hit a series of boxes and then destroy 3 trucks, Tanner's Challenger spawn instead of the trucks w/floating boxes and also spawn instead of the parked boxed trucks in the alleys too.

[@Olanov]

That sounds like an older version of the mod; Stimulus Package doesn't need seperate installation and is provided as is with Felony Rework together, these days. I'll be sure to look into the issue of the Tanner Challenger showing up regardless, that issue in particular, was the target of elimination in 2.3, hopefully one hasn't slipped thru the cracks. 😅 I'm glad to hear the experience otherwise has been fun!

[@BrunoGomesSlyPony]

MYGOD!!! No words to describe this spectacular work, so PERFECT!!! That's an amazing work here on everything on every detail, EVERYTHING!!! Ubisoft should be proud of the works from you guys always, the modder community always making games always better than the original, adding more stuff and making the games always more alive and better... dreams that should be on the game but sadly aren't and modder community makes the dreams come true like this wonderful work!!

[@Olanov]

They gave us a fantastic base to work with! Thanks for your kind words.

[@X33Ultras0und]

This is amazing. You brought over many nfsmw features.

[@Olanov]

Haha thanks! The older and recent NFS games have been quite the inspiration!

[@RegularJohn53]

A neat feature idea. When you decide to stop and pay the fine the camera should change to the cop car's dashcam. Like it does in Midnight Club LA.

[@Olanov]

Ha, I thought something like that'd be fun, but not as feasible since you're in full control and we can't pre-place cars on side of the road. :(

[@dylanwalker1205]

This is amazing, driver is my childhood game I grew up on it and to see people revive it like this is amazing. Installing as we speak

[@Ooboy]

Awesome job brother, now i feel the need to replay this game once again.

[@Olanov]

Thanks a lot friend! You have a fantastic choice in games.

[@kingstyle7314]

When I was a kid and this game came out I never thought it would get this kinda attention or this kind of mod ever and I am blown away at the amount of love this game is receiving these days

[@nodeal7337]

Fantastic.. Loved the original Driver game and liked DSF too and probably much more now with all these great mods. Great review and video Thank you :-)

[@Olanov]

Thank you! I certainly hope you'll have fun!

[@IceRaged]

One of my most played ps3 games during my childhood like ever, and ive finally Downloaded it for pc after seing awesome mods like this! Excited to live through my childhood again but with a new twist thank you for your work ❤

[@rasheeddaley6773]

I cannot even begin to imagine how hard this must have been, even if it wasn't this is crazy impressive

[@beamngdriver3047]

Buddy, thanks for making such a good addition to the game. I've been playing DSF for a long time and have never seen anything like it, and the fact that you also made events that are even better than the original ones shocks me. Lately, there hasn't been enough of this since the game is a bit boring after passing and there's almost nothing to do. Good luck in the future Olanov!))

[@альсир]

What you are doing is very cool! Thank you for the mod, and also a special thanks for the roadblocks. Good luck in the development!

[@Olanov]

Thank you It's one of my favorite mechanics of the bunch.

@@Olanov I also have a question. Can you reupload the Main Menu theme of the game? As well the Race Against Death? The one you already uploaded has a very low quality (12 years old video lol)

Cool job!!! But my dream is that someday Ubisoft (with Driver rights) will release a remake of Driv3r with cool graphics, without bugs, with an improved game world, etc.

[@ZagTheWag2]

what da heck I loved driver 1 never knew there was a modding scene like this epic

[@skelet7]

Fascinating! Keep up the good work, guys.

[@shift_del3te249]

I hope the "prove it" song can play as well. I really like when music is done really well in games, im not sure but im hoping when a nightmare starts the music would go silent until 30 seconds pass, which probably when tanner start understanding whats happening

[@Olanov]

It's currently not on the list. It lacked both suspense and pace. Nightmares are currently music free to allow you to completely soak in the atmosphere. Am considering some tracks in some specific nightmares.

[@Vihans612]

You got a subscriber.....Well Done man !

[@JarbasTardo]

Extremely good job, this is amazing

[@idriveastationwagon1534]

I played nfs (mainly black box era), tdu 1, burnout, and a few other games , but driver sf is probably the best racing game. S tier indeed. I would love to see an updated version with an expanded map and car list, along with the mod in this video.

[@dethmastaOG]

I only played the demo back in the day, didn't realize this game had such good damage models with real cars.

[@c4rsair]

Man, this game will never die

[@ae86thetic53]

This is absolutely incredible. Gives me a new way to experience a game I completed so many times before. Also, I was wondering whether messing around with traffic settings is possible. A core memory I had were the sequences of the completely empty city and a dark sky in some story missions. I wonder if it's possible to pull that off.

[@Olanov]

Snoopii's mod menu allows you to change traffic settings and a lot more.

[@_NFS_MW_2005_]

7:05 this from NFS Most Wanded 2005

[@Hashbrowniepie]

Never knew this game had mods. Great job

[@advsttsvda4935]

5:03 so there is no felony level at all? i made few tests and as i observed AI police gets more offensive with time passed, also armoured trucks arrive later than civilian cop cars or SUVs. they are far more dangerous to themselfes and innocent traffic tho, pure madness. and the allied player of course. great mod anyway, something big i missed back in the day on x360, like 10 years ago

[@Olanov]

Yes, this is the case. When you chase NPC's it's completely static progression-wise. The armoured trucks and Corvettes are all RNG based in them currently, same as roadblocks and their tactics. Thank you for the praise, though!

[@FS_DAWG012]

Keep it up! Hope to see more improvements for more games!

[@Olanov]

Thank you! May not be immediately, as there's so many other games demanding attention, but I'd be surprised if this was the last of it.

[@percinatto]

where can i buy / safely download DSF?

[@antonj.2408]

With the amazing additions from your mod here, I wonder if some day we could get something similar to the amazing survival mode from the console versions. Combining survival and checkpoint race with random cars you are forced to drive until you reach the next checkpoint. I know that it seems like the mode can't be directly ported, but maybe something similar and just for a single player instead of splitscreen? I keep my hopes up... because that mode was the most fun I've ever had in a racing game :)

[@WROB3L]

Goddamn, this game was fantastic back in the day, i gotta get my hands on that.

[@redbelliedgaming]

Driver San Francisco is honestly one of the best driving games out there...not the best, but one of for sure

[@FrenchyAU]

This is really cool to see, i played this game a ton when i was younger and was so sad to hear about it being delisted thanks to nick robinsons video on it, surprised to see a modding scene for the game, i did some searching into ways i may be able to actually plsy the game and i was wondering if your mod would work for pirated repacks of the game as that seems like the only way i can get my hands on it now

[@Olanov]

As long as the version is 1.04 (DNGHook requirement) it should, assuming cracks and such don't somehow cause issues.

[@nagakoharuno]

This is very amazing... having Driver San Fransisco pursuit system in the same level as Need for Speed really what should the game needs. Although i also hope its not too hard and has balancing since Driver SF handling is not high speed arcade like NFS

[@joespeed1952]

I never knew D:SF had a modding community what!? The only reason I bought this game was because KurtJMac played it a long ass time ago, and I bought a key from a reseller.

[@Navi_Silver]

good mod overall although cops can still seem a bit easy to me. However, during boot sequence of Driver SF, i have a fatal error of NGHook sometimes ending me up easily with 20 dmp files. Moreover, i can lose focus on current car, no longer being able to use shift, obliging me to restart game while praying for not having any crash during startup sequence. Aside from that and as i said earlier, i'm having fun and appears as a new experience.

[@asb6493]

awesome as always

[@clues32]

Wow, I used to play Driver SF quite a lot as a kid, never knew it had a modding scene or that there were people still playing it. Maybe I should reinstall and try it out…

Seems like that's been going around! It's never too late to go back to Driver. ;)
