The Driver Syndicate
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux
The Driver Syndicate is a open-world driving action game inspired by the classic Driver series by Reflections Interactive.
Enter Take A Ride mode with selection of cars from ’60s to ’80s era and various times of day - dawn, dusk, night and weather effects which affect handling.
Experience hot cop chases and getaways - now with AI agents inspired by Driver San Francisco.
Expirience minigames such as Trailblazer, Gates, Getaway and infamous Job Interview tutorial!
Theme of Driver Syndicate made by Allister Brimble, who is also happens to be author of Driver in-game BGM, allowed us to include remastered soundtrack of Driver 1 and Driver 2.
Record your briliant chases and enter the Film Director - place the cameras, adjust transitions and share the coolest moments!
Create your own cities, vehicles, missions and even the game modes! Running on its own game engine, Syndicate allows the community to be heavily involved in the development of new content due to the game being modding-friendly. Developer provides a broad set of tools made for this game, a Wiki page with help material on how to create your own content.
Base game includes 11 vehicles based on real life cars and demo city with two missions, and with Addons support there are over 200 vehicles and about 10 cities created by Driver Madness Community exclusively for The Driver Syndicate. Also ride cars exlusive to their cities which also made by the community.
You can now play 18 story missions taking place in Miami city from Driver 1, faithfully recreated in new engine by Matti. Take a wheel as John Tanner, an ex-racing boy taking his deep way into undercover.

great work this one is good car game
Great work by developers, beautiful car game, ensures many hours of gameplay! find the gameplay on my channel!
It looks very good, but when I start the game on Linux I get this, I guess it is because of some incompatibility with libc6, since I use Arch Linux and on several occasions there are conflicts with executables with earlier versions.

The game is really impressive. As a lover of the original ‘Driver’ games, I think it's just great. I have a question, what tools did you develop it with? (Unity, Godot...)
Thank you very much! <3 It’s been made with my custom-made game engine and it’s tools :)
Positive: Looks very good. UI very clean (With the exception of director mode). Models are good. SFX is very reminiscent of the old games. In terms of polish, its looks very good.
Needs: Shortcuts could do with some spawning tweaks to limit the amount of cars I have to dodge coming out of and into a shortcut. why learn the map if your shortcuts are useless in an already unforgiving game. Safezones from cop spawns when you are extremely close to objectives. I don't want my level progress taken away because I get spawned on with less than 10 seconds to get to lose the cops. Gravity rework and more forgiving stunt jump physics. Why have crazy jumps if I can't land them organically in chases? Also: The ability to skip an intro cutscene after 2nd replay. Just because it was a quirk of the old games doesn't mean it's a good idea.
Hey cool to see this here! Kinda surprised it took so long :p
very good
Looks and feels great! A couple typos here and there, but other than that, very solid game!
tuff game aint gon lie!!
is there a way that it can support mods?
It does support mods, you can install ZapMode & The Classic Syndicate. We also have a dedicated Discord section for DrvSyn modding
Simply brilliant - thank you for this, thank yo uso much.
Thank you sir! I just realized I need to make interview missions skipable, that mistake on me as it was on Martin Edmondson :D
W32.AIDetectMalware is safe?
Yeah it’s sometimes gets detected :( false positive, already been reporting to AV devs for a while. You can check problematic files with VirusTotal for sure
its just a black screen?
Cant even launch the game, black screen and then freezes/crashes.
Log can be found here https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jJUzkkgz2PqaeZX-f2dgzhWPjUa0j7PD/view
I guess no help soon..
Unfortunately yes, atm older GPUs and D3D11 mode isn’t well supported, that’s scheduled for next patch
I see, well i run on a IGPU Intel HD 5300 if i remember correctly
Patch 2.2 might have fixed your issue https://soapyman.itch.io/driversyndicate/devlog/897737/patch-22-release-notes
It works with D3D11 but if i go take for a ride it crashes shortly after.
Or when i launch the normal one. It loads i try to drive aswell but all the 3D models flash super fast. Video can be found here.

ACCESS VIOLATION every damn time!
Can you attach a crash dump and log files? It’s located in Install Folder/Bin64/logs
how do I do that?
The resolution is too big for my screen and I can't even see the menu when I open the game. How do I change the resolution?
go to GameData/cfg and edit user.cfg using notepad, find vid_mode and change it’s value to something like 1280x720 or 800x600 etc
nice :D
ESTE JUEGO ESTA PERFECTO
The newest version is even better!
Thank you for keeping the spirit of Driver alive with this excellent spiritual successor! #redriver
Make a Linux port and add controller support.
Controller is already supported, Linux port is coming later with Patch 1 UPD: still in testing phase as holydays are coming up
hello i barrely start the game and i already enjoy it. Can you just help to find out how to pass the 1st task i don't know how to do the "lap" (what it is) and the "slalom" (this i may know what it is but couldln't find the way it has to be done). Could help me ?
Hey! To perform slalom you need to drive along pillars forward and back, passing them by left and right side of car. To do lap simply drive a big circle around garage
how nice from you ! thank you
Woot! After a very long time it's finally here, can't wait to see what kind of horrible abstract concepts we can make as "mods" now
