NOPE!

Thanks Joe
Now I get the whole picture...

Another question emerges: Can someone say from experiance, will we get SH3 v1.2 crack? Or what are the chances that v1.2crack will apear... 30%... 47.3%... 87.2%.... ?

Not really sure what you're asking, but the 1.0 no-dvd exe for Driv3r works even if you've installed patch #2. Just replace it with the new nodvd for patch #2 when (or if) it's released. Most of the fixes in patch #2 are probably in the executable though, so you'll be missing out on those for the time being. For now, I prefer the inconvenience of keeping the DVD in my drive.

Changes from the update 2 will not work with no-dvd v1.0?

The executable wasn't the only file that the patch updated, but I do not know which fixes in patch #2 were implemented by editing the other files. Most likely, the majority of fixes are in the executable and those will not work with the 1.0 no-dvd executable.

I tried it myself though, and I actually couldn't see ANYTHING different from the unpatched version, when using the 1.0 exe. I bet there's something though :P
