I downloaded the iso version on an older computer, and after I finally realized I needed to use the "crack" file to run the game, it works flawlessly.

I will help people who want to actually play the game.
Download the EU "budget rerelease" version. Extract the files from the .iso file. Use the setup to install the game. Don't launch it yet. After you've done this, download DRIV3R Definitive Edition mod from Mod DB. Follow every single instruction in the mod (it's extremely simple and detailed, took me like 15 mins with a beer in other hand). You'll need to install ALL the fixes, RTX addon and EAX audio fix included. And anisotropic fix is a must, too. The tutorial on how to do all of that is in the README.txt.
The game should run fine after that. Don't forget to use the "modernPC" profile (I forget what it's called, but there are 3 profiles and the "modern" one is set up so you get to play with familiar controls).
I hope I helped. Have fun gaming!

The best way to play Driver 3 nowadays is without a doubt the awesome "Definitive Edition" mod that not only fixes many bugs that where in the original PC version, but also restoring missing vehicle textures and features from Xbox and PS2 versions that were missing from the PC port.
In addition, you need to replace the old "d3dx9_43.dll" in the driver 3 directory (the dll file is corrupted) to a different d3dx9_43.dll (easy to find online). The definitive edition did what the game should have been in a finished state, if the publisher Atari did not force "Reflections Interactive" to rush the game to meet their deadline.
it plays surprisingly well, the when you’re in your vehicle is classic Driver with the familiar car physics, however being on foot is super awkward, it tries to copy GTA III & Vice City but feels off. The real highlight is the story, cut scenes and voice acting, which are top notch, better than I expected.

I put crack file and dll into the correct folder, but the game just goes to a black screen and closes, unfortunate. Loved this game as a kid, would love to play it again.

The game is crashing on the creation of a new profile. I can't access the game. Does someone have the same issue?

Guys, just noticed a weird bug on the game. The character cannot climb ladder? Is this happening to anyone else?

The music was good, but overall, the game was merely decent for passing the time. Some missions became extremely frustrating due to peculiar checkpoints. Additionally, the graphics felt odd, as if the game world lacked shadows, imparting a sort of underworld or supernatural vibe.
The story was its only saving grace; I found myself eager to learn more about what was happening. Lastly, I encountered no issues running it from your files, so thank you for preserving this one. It's definitely worth a try.

The ISO Version installs nicely on Windows 10 and runs smoothly. There is a crack in the ISO image, copy that to the installation folder and the game is good to go

Putting this on my hard drive literally broke it. DO NOT DOWNLOAD AND UNPACK!!!
I forgot to mention you need to replace the the game.exe file with the one in the cracked folder Make sure you install all the redistributable c files and DirectX in order for it to play smoothly if it doesn't work then try to right click executable file and click compatibility and run in XP service pack 2 compatibility mode and run as administrator

@simon2011 https://gameburnworld.com/gp/gamefixes/driv3r.shtml
this run on windows 98?
if you want driver san francisco you can buy it for 20 bucks at gamestop. they provide a downloadable code.
the game says: "please insert the driv3r cd" when launched after installation.
unable to play
"the given archive file does not contain a executable file" what does this mean???
Doesn't work. Installs fine. Screen flicks to black and then back to desktop.
Fun fact: the guy in the Hawaiian shirt with the waterwings is Reflections taking shots at GTA: Vice City sicne Tommy can't swim.
There needs to be Driver San Francisco on this website!
I never plhed this game yet hopw its good
@JACK RAINER i know
This is not driver paraller lines. Driver 1,2,3 can't be bought anymore.
@RED Driver Parallel Lines is not abandonware, it's available for purchase on Steam https://store.steampowered.com/app/21780/Driver_Parallel_Lines/ and GOG https://www.gog.com/game/driver_parallel_lines .
un jeu ratée qui ne vaut pas sa suite driver parallel lines. Can someone add his suite in French and English version?
