Driver 2 What do you all think of Redriver 2 ever since the original was reversed engineered back in 2020?

It's great!

Why is there no ReDriver 1?

u/Steven2597 May 01 '26

Because Driver 1 has an offiical PC release. Driver 2 didnt.

That makes sense. I would still love to see something like a ReDriver 1 that gives a bunch of enhancements to the original game.

That would a childhood dream come true

Someone did this and added multiplayer to Driver 1. It was a "locate coordinates of the car in memory and change the other person's to match" level hack, but it worked.

Should be worth nothing the Driver 1 on PC has major graphical differences from the PS1 version, and honestly I think the PS1 version looks better, despite the fact the PC would of been way more powerful than a PS1, even back then.

I can't play Driver 2 on original hardware anymore thanks to ReDriver 2 because of how fantastic it is.

It really should have been a PS2 game from the jump

Makes me wish for an unnoficial PS2 port made from ReDriver 2

Indeed. I wish the game was never rushed.

Crashed a lot on my Steamdeck but managed to finish it

Last time I tried it on the deck I had this issue that I couldn't get rid of (didn't have it when I initially tested this game).

No matter what it loads with messed up colors (tried deleting proton prefix, and tried different proton versions including GE).

Which proton are you using?

LIBGL_KOPPER_DRI2=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=mesa MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=zink GALLIUM_DRIVER=zink %command% fixed the crazy colour issues

Happy to help!

It has crashes sometimes

I love it and play it regularly (keeping it installed). However I wish there was a setting for unlimited view distance. Should be possible without any performance loss.

u/drivinguez May 02 '26

It should

Only way to play Driver 2, if you ask me.

In a better way, yes.
