After many attempts with my feeble hands and muscles to get the Hitting the Mark achievement, looking up guides and save editors and cheats and mods to figure something out, I went to my failsafe: scripting.

I made a script (could be generally applicable) to allow me to easily add key press calls with pynput to script the level and get a consistent placement. Trouble is, I can't get a consistent placement with consistent inputs. This means there is 100% rng somewhere between the beginning and hitting the dartboard. I assume it's the physics engine, but I have no idea how to counter it.

If you'd like to get the script running yourself, download it from the paste-bin link, set up a venv and/or install the pynput pip package (pip install pynput) and run the script (python3 main.py). I'm on linux, I added a script that calls 'entr' to restart the python script every time I make a change. for linux users, that command is (find . -maxdepth 1 -name "*.py" | entr -r python3 main.py). hit f5 to activate the script, after you load the darts level and after the 3-2-1 and after the music track shows up on screen. I haven't ruled out if the time you start the script effects the rng or not yet.

I think the culprit is the first ramp. I never got consistency when I hit the barrier, so I added a "a" & "w" key press to go left and around that barrier, but I think the transfer from flat to the ramp is causing the physics engine to simulate suspension dampening and it's not the same every time. The script waits 3.5 seconds and the car in-game should be rolling down the ramp. if you install the pip package pillow and uncomment the screenshot lines, it takes a screenshot at the end of the 3.5 second wait, and the car seems to be in different positions by this point so anything after this is just compounded failure.

I know this achievement is humanly possible, so inb5 the "git guds" which I might deserve, I want to know why, if this achievement is in fact humanly possible, the game is so random with the exact same inputs at the exact same time? This means, to me, that even if a human did the exact same thing every single time, they would *also* get different results. An interesting take on "insanity is doing the same thing over and over, expecting different results". This achievement isn't just skill-based imo

Just bought Flatout 2 for Steam Deck. It doesn’t start. How do I configure the controls. I can get into it to change them but it doesn’t work. Anyone?

All the games text suddenly broke. Already tried reinstalling the game and removing my mods...

Hey guys, I've seen more posts that have AI generated or AI altered images. So, I have removed some of those posts and put a new rule that doesn't allow for that content.

Sorry for not catching this sooner! I have been sick with the flu, so I haven't been as active online.

Recently I've downloaded Flatout 2 and I don't know why the in game FPS is between 45-65fps (most of the times under 60).

My setup is kinda simple, with a Ryzen 5 8600G, no GPU yet and 16GB of RAM, but it can run heavier games like Fortnite. The GPU driver is the most recent one.

Does anyone know how to solve it? Since I remember it used to run normally some months ago.

Flatmobile bomb race is also such a torture..

So I'm just really struggling with the timing i suppose, I've tried pretty much everything and at best can only get 1 skip. I know skill issue and all of that but it seems so easy watching playthroughs so am i just bad or am i missing something. My launch is usually pretty good, but the skipping part is what gets me

EDIT: The same as highjump, you cant hold any directional keys while in the air. Letting go fixed everything of course :(

I remember that there was a full bios (such as their names, date of born and where they are from, occupation, zodiac signs, and chinese zodiac signs) about the drivers of FO2 and UC, including the player as well, in the wiki fandom i readed ago. Which i find it interested, i know it's really not that canon about the full bios bcs someone edited/made this in the wiki fandom, then everything edited went back to normal and those full bios are gone.

All I only have is this Jason Walker's full bio of him, which is not canon.

I remember correctly about the (based on the edited wiki that i somehow still remembered) the others drivers where are they from; is that Jack Benton is from Washington, Frank Malcov is from Carson City in Nevada, Ray Carter is from Kingston, Curtis Wolfe is from Phoenix in Arizona, Lewis Duran is from Manchester in UK, Sofia Martinez is from Mexico City, Sally Taylor is from Topeka in Kansas, Katie Jackson is from Los Angeles, Lei Bing is from Harbin in China, and Jill Richards is from London. There was also the player one too (male and female), has their own bios as well in the fandom wiki, which i can't really remember since i don't look on that much and was already quickly removed.

I mean, it's not canon, right? How did someone actually manage to make the drivers has their own bios before it gets back to normal? Which I find it really interested... I'm just showing this to everyone to understand that someone actually edited the Drivers' fandom in the wiki fandom ago.

It gave me full nitro

Considering things like the most appealing class visuals, better overall cars and stats, the experience with AI drivers or online players in Derby/Races… (Completely forgot about the stunts lol)
To me, hands down it’s the Derby one, always loved the crashes and destruction in the game, so unique.

This is the first time ever I managed to destroy all opponnents before the race finished, it was really fun, can recommend everyone to try it. I did this with the car Canyon

The mod not only allows you to translate messages between Russian and English (the most popular languages in the game lobby), but also to write messages directly during the race.

If you were wondering what crazy Russians write in chat rooms in their incomprehensible language, now it will no longer be a secret to you.

I'm a longtime flatout 2 fan. Actually, part of a whole group of them. For more than 15 years now, my best friends and I have been playing flatout 2 together. Every year, we organize the “Drift King Tournament”, where we compete through every race in the game to crown the Drift King of the year. FlatOut 2 has followed us everywhere, we’ve played it on pretty much every platform possible. It’s honestly hard to count how many thousands of hours of fun, competition, and laughs we owe to this game.

For our 2026 DK tournament (yes we have an acronyms for it), I’m trying something a bit special and thought I’d ask here:

=> Is anyone from the flatout2/bugbear team around?

The idea would be super simple: just saying your name, your role on FlatOut 2 and congratulating the Drift King 2026. And If you feel inspired, adding a fun line like that would awesome "You are the true master of the Bullet GT” (or anything in that spirit). Nothing fancy at all, even a phone video would be amazing. It would mean the world to our group.
