Installing Driv3r

Prior to Installing the Game

Before attempting to install Driv3r please verify that your computer meets the
minimum requirements listed above. If you are uncertain if your computer meets the
minimum requirements please contact your system vendor.

We also recommend preparing your hard drive for installation by running ScanDisk
and Disk Defragmenter prior to installation. These utilities are part of Windows
and can identify and resolve problems with your disk drive, which could hinder
installation and/or playing of the game.

To launch these programs and optimize your hard disk drive:

1. Open "My Computer".

2. Right-click the disk drive you wish to install the game onto (usually C:)
3. Select the "Tools" tab.
4. Click "Check Now" to launch Scandisk.

When Scandisk has completed, follow steps 1-3 and click "Defragment Now" to launch
Disk Defragmenter. Note that defragmenting your disk drive can take a long time.
It's a good idea to start disk defragmenter and let it run overnight.

Installing the Game

To install Driv3r
1. Insert Disc One of Driv3r (the "Install Disc") into your DVD-Rom Drive.
2. If autoplay is enabled on your system, a window will appear, giving you the
option to install the game. If nothing happens when you insert the DVD into the
drive, you will need to open "My Computer", double-click your DVD-Rom Drive
letter, and then double-click Setup.exe.
3. Once the setup process begins, follow the on-screen prompts to install the
game.

DirectX� Detection & Installation

During the installation of Driv3r, your system will be scanned to determine

whether you have DirectX� 9.0c or later installed. If you do not, you will be
asked whether or not you wish to install it. Note that DirectX� 9.0c or later is a
minimum requirement
for running Driv3r. If you decline to install it during the installation process,
you will not be able to run the game until you have installed it.

Starting the Game

There are a few ways to start the game.

1. Insert Disc Six of Driv3r (the "Play Disc") into your DVD-Rom Drive.
2. If you answered yes when the installer asked you whether you wanted to create a
desktop shortcut, you can double click that shortcut.

or

1. Insert Disc Six of Driv3r (the "Play Disc") into your DVD-Rom Drive.
2. Click on the Start Menu, then select "Programs" (or "All Programs" if you're
running Windows XP), then select "Atari", then "Driv3r ", then select the "Driv3r�
icon.

TROUBLESHOOTING

General system issues

Optimizing gameplay on slower computers

If you are experiencing slowdown, try turning the detail levels for all graphical
options down to the minimum, and then adjusting them one by one until you achieve
an acceptable balance between visual quality and game performance.

This table describes the differences between detail levels:

Note that disabling shadows has the greatest impact on the game's performance, so
this option is a good place to start when tuning the game's performance.

Video Issues

General Video Card Troubleshooting.

Outdated or incorrect video drivers are the cause of the majority of video issues.
Before contacting support, ensure you have the latest production (release) drivers
for your video card.

* If you have any of the non-supported video cards please contact your system
vendor for assistance in upgrading your video card.

I get a message that says "Unable to initialize DirectX." when I try to launch the
game.

Possible solutions to this problem include:

1. Make sure you have DirectX 9.0C or greater and that it is working properly.
2. Make sure you have the latest video drivers for your video card.
3. Try running Driv3r in Safe Mode (use the Driv3r - Safe Mode shortcut on the
start menu).

If you have a Geforce FX series video card, such as a Geforce FX 5200, you may
encounter a situation where if you enable all graphical options you will notice
poor performance. To resolve this go into Options - Settings - Display - Advanced
Video Card Settings and turn off Shadows, Advanced Shaders, and Anti-Aliasing
which will improve performance.

During gameplay you may encounter a situation where, depending upon the viewing
angle and distance from the car you are driving a black box will appear around
your steering wheel. This is a known issue.

During gameplay you may encounter a situation where, if you have shadows enabled
and are standing in a shadowed area on a daylight level, the muzzle flash from
your selected weapon will not be present while it is present during nighttime
levels. This is a known issue.

During gameplay, if you have all other video options enabled except for advanced
shaders, you may encounter a situation where your character's hands and legs
appear white. To resolve this go into Options - Settings - Display - Advanced
Video Card Settings and enable advanced shaders.

General: Performance

If you have a machine matching the minimum specifications (or nearly the same) to
obtain best performance, go into Options - Settings - Display - Advanced Video
Card Settings and set all options to off, or the minimum available. As every
machine is different however you can also experiment leaving some options turned
on, or try a bigger resolution.

If you have a high specification machine, you can try to increase the resolution
of the game, or turn on graphic options that will enhance the visuals. Go into
Options - Settings - Display - Advanced Video Card Settings. The different
settings available can be experimented with to obtain optimum performance.

Display Issues

If you have a LDVD display you may encounter a situation where during all
introduction movies, before selecting a profile, the picture is offset to the left
or to the right and auto-adjustment does not help. To resolve this issue, once you
have created a profile go into Options - Settings - Display - Advanced Video Card
Settings and adjust your resolution to 800x600 or higher.

Sound Issues

If you are experiencing sound problems, including volume issues, missing audio
channels (i.e., no sound comes through your center speaker channel), crashes, or
any other audio issues, we recommend switching your sound driver to the default
MILES Fast 2D Driver.

If you have a Sound Blaster PCI 16/64/128 sound card you may encounter a situation
where if you hit ESC when firing a fully automatic weapon, such as the M16, the
audio will stutter for a few seconds before entering the menu.
If you have a Sound Blaster Live! 5.1, Sound Blaster Audigy, Sound Blaster Audigy
LS, or ADI AD1980 sound card you may encounter a situation where with 5.1 speakers
selected, in third-person camera view, any in-game effects, such as gunfire, only
come from the center channel. This is normal behavior.

If you have a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz, Sound Blaster Live! 5.1, Sound Blaster
Audigy LS, or Realtek ALC650 sound card you may encounter a situation where in the
game menu and during cutscenes, regardless of audio settings, with 5.1 speakers
selected, no sound is produced by the center channel. This is normal behavior.

If you have a Sound Blaster Extigy sound card you may encounter a situation where
during gameplay, regardless of audio settings, with 5.1 speakers selected, the
front left and right speakers only produce audio. This is normal behavior.

Peripheral Issues

Driv3r does not support non-analog gamepads, such as the Microsoft Sidewinder,
Gravis Gamepad Pro, or Logitech Precision gamepad. You will need to obtain an
analog controller, such as the Logitech Dual-Action gamepad or Logitech Wingman
Rumblepad if you wish to play Driv3r with a gamepad.
