Known issues:
In certain cases the game might not launch with the mod installed. Renaming winmm.dll to d3d9.dll usually fixes this
The patch is intended for the old version of the game (1.2), released before the official update in summer 2024, so its .exe file adds a different multiplayer mode, which is now much less popular than the official one. If you want to keep playing official online, do not copy the .exe file to the main game directory
Due to the release of several game updates and lack of current patch maintenance, some interface display issues appear in menus - annoying but not critical. These issues do not occur in the old 1.2 version. In races themselves, no visual problems are present
Some users report manual gear shifting may not work; also, sound may occasionally bug out or the jet engine trail on stunt cars may disappear
How to install a mod ZPatch FO2
Unzip the archive and place the contents into the root directory of the game.
If you are installing the patch on the new Steam version of the game, do not copy the FlatOut2.exe file, or you will lose access to the official online mode.
Enjoy the game!
