I've been playing this game every day for a week now, and I have to admit it has never crashed on me (yet...) However, I don't know whether I'm imagining things or not, but the game readily seems to drop frames, especially when there are more than a couple of police cars chasing you. In my mind this is the ultimate sin - a driving game needs to keep the speed up above everything else. It is easy enough to compensate for dropped frames by moving everything twice as far as normal, but Driver does not seem to do this and you get a noticeable drop in the car's speed. This suggests to me either slack programming (hopefully not, as the game overall is excellent), or lack of testing possibly due to release date pressures... Olly
