−
Playing Driver San Francisco using a screen with a 4:3, 5:4 or 16:10 aspect ratio will result in a black border being displayed at the top and bottom of the screen. WidescreenGamingForum.com has fixed this issue with a new .exe file. In order to fix this you must download a fixed <code>driver.exe</code> file [http://widescreengamingforum.com/dr/driver-san-francisco/en from Widescreen Gaming Forum] and replace the default file with this.

=== Stuttering Gameplay/Cinematics ===

# Open the file and modify <code>Fullscreen = 1</code> to <code>Fullscreen = 0</code>
−
Although nothing concrete has been found, many find the reason for the stuttering to be related to Ubisoft's DRM of the game, which, as of late was removed. The needed connection to the internet however, was not. Thus, during peak hours until the game can be relieved of server overdrive, The game will normally run poorly until a fix has been made.

'''Fix:''' The first solution is to simply make sure your drivers are all updated to their latest version, Players who find that their game is still stuttering, either regularly in heavy increments, or in short bursts will have to remove the connection to either the internet (manually disconnecting an Ethernet cable or any other connection, then inserting again) or create a block in one's anti virus firewall for the game's connection to the internet. This will not affect the game or start up of said game, this may, however affect online play. Also, a warning will come up from Ubisoft, while in game, and state that you need a connection, they are lying, disregard  such a warning.

=== Game Starts Full Screen, Sound, but no Video ===
 
−
A temporary fix for this problem:
 
−
# Open <code>%USERPROFILE%\My Documents\Ubisoft\Driver San Francisco\graphics.ini</code>
 
−
# Change  <code>Fullscreen = 1</code> to <code>Fullscreen = 0</code>
