Every time the game is started, either saboteur.bik or saboteur_de.bik is played, showing both EA and Pandemic logos.
The files, located in the installation folder, under the Bink sub-folder (usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Saboteur\Bink\) can be replaced with empty .bik files.

Controller support
Xbox 360 Controllers are natively supported. However, starting the game with the controller plugged in or turned on results in incorrect controller mapping. To fix this, start the game with the controller disconnected/turned off until the game arrives at the Main Menu. There's no deadzone for the analog sticks, which makes menu navigation very sensitive.
Or
Edit the "InputTemplates" file, located within the install directory of the game and remove any reference that starts with "INPUT_PAD" under the "OTHER GAMEPAD" section. Or replace the content within the file with the code found here. This eliminates the need to disconnect/turn off the Xbox 360 Controller.

Other information
The game has numerous issues with modern computers. It suffered from severe AMD (ATI at the time) incompatibilities, but most of them were fixed with both game and driver patches.
However, the game still has CPU Affinity issues. To properly play The Saboteur in modern hardware, you need to:
- Manually add Windowed 1 at the end of the config.ini file
- On "Windows Task Manager" Set "Process Priority" to High
- Set "Processor Affinity" to only 2 real cores (if you have a quad core, the game will eventually crash. If you set it to only one core, the game will stutter).
These steps are official steps to take to play the game.
