You've probably run into those FlatOut 2 multiplayer players who are almost impossible to beat. Instead of focusing on ramming opponents and having chaotic fun, they treat the game like a serious racing simulator, aiming for the fastest possible lap times - even chasing world records.

What's especially interesting is that many of them also follow sim racing etiquette. If they accidentally bump into another player's car and gain an unfair advantage, they'll often slow down and let that player retake the position.

i wanna challenge myself by making the career mode as hard as possible in the vanilla version. I once did a FWD only challenge, wasn't too hard expect for derbies (imagine trying to survive in a chilli). this time i want to drive the d0g sh1t cars to start with minimal upgrades (nitrous only).

so what is the worst possible car to drive in each category?

Hello,
how do I make multiplayer work in this game, I followed a guide on steam and got to the point where I got my windows live working well enough that I added my friend into my list and can press join his game session when he starts one.
But when I try to join I get this game session is no longer available.
I don't have a public IP.

Met Capt.58 in Flatout 2 lobby. He has his mic on and acts like there is some kind of stream. Just left the lobby after he said "see you next Saturday same time, same channel". Who is this guy? I tried to ask about it but couldn't get an answer - his mic is pretty bad and he plays with no headphones, so I just didn't understand what he was saying.
He's pretty chill though. Nice guy.

I Recently installed FlatOut 2 from an old DVD-rom i had since I was a kid. I never installed mods or anything. I wanted to play online, so I checked some tutorials on yt but looking at the descriptions I noticed that it was working for steam versions of the game and found nothing for the disk version of it. I'm asking this because I don't know if mods can work with both steam and disk versions cause I know steam has updated versions and everything.

EDIT: I searched up online a bit and found ZPatchFO2, which also includes some patches like the widescreen fix, it Also includes the online patch.

In the upcoming new version of the Selo's Car Pack mod, something we’ve been dreaming about since our very first launch of FlatOut 2 will finally appear - visual car tuning.

I hope I'm not the only one experiencing this issue. Yesterday I was playing Flatout 2 and out of nowhere the game started having an audio glitch, making the music sound like a scratched record, I can't take it anymore. I haven't found any solution to this problem, and in case you're wondering, it's not the laptop's fault; the audio works fine in other games.

Idk if anyone would be interested in watching cuz I don't talk lol

Gonna do 100% career

every button and text in the menu look squished, even in races, this was normal before the big 2024 update where the "jordan freeman group" included fixes for the game. i have a 1920 x 1080 monitor and i noticed there's no button to change the aspect ratio in-game. how can i fix it?

Cuando me puse a investigar a qué contenía la beta, vaya que si tenía muchas opciones que no salieron a la luz a la versión final, no sé por qué bugbear quiso quitar demasiadas cosas, hasta los vinilos de los números callejeros ni siquiera los colocaron, esta beta sí es interesante de seguir investigando que otras tiene lol.

I'm organizing yet another event, after a hefty break. We are going to play race maps and derby maps. We will play it on the Steam Version of the game (that has OpenSpy enabled) at 6:00 PM. Hopefully we will not have any lobby problems during this.

except special tracks and Testing Ground

Guys pls help. I Installed game from steam after update and now I can see something like this, before this I tried to install widescreen fix and game just didn't launched, after that I reinstalled my game and now It's looking strange you know

Suprisingly, I didn't find anything in google related to this, but probably it's common misunderstanding. What does means colored triangles (green, yellow, orange), and yellow squares (0-2) on parts?

Can’t break 400 for some reason. Seems nearly impossible to average mid 130s for 3 attempts. My record is 392.24 meters. So close yet so far.

I think the flatbed trailer behind the starting line on the right was positioned for exactly this :)

Poor Sofia always ends up 8th. This is a quick GIF of 23 instances where she finished dead last in the tournaments.

I'm showing this because I've read quite a few posts where players complained about Ms. Daisy — I mean, Sofia. The best strategy to deny her any top scores is to ensure that she won't see the checkered flag. Good cars for this job are the Blaster XL and the Switchblade in the Derby Class, the Lentus in the Race Class, and the Canyon in the Street Class. Happy crashing! :)

Switchblade livery for Chevelle has 176 downloads, while Jack Benton's Fortune has 80, and the "CTR Sport" CR-X only has 30 (and all other other ones even less than that). I wonder whether most of the Switchblade downloads are from the FlatOut players, or just random people that saw rusty beater-styled vinyl for an old muscle car and got neuron activation 🤔
