Warnings

For Games for Windows - LIVE on Windows 8 or later, install the latest Games for Windows - LIVE software.

FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage is a racing game released in 2008. It is an enhanced port of FlatOut 2, featuring new gameplay modes, improved graphics as well as 4 new drivers (both character-wise and in each race) and at least 2 new cars.

The game was released for PC on retail on August 1, 2008 with Games for Windows Live functionality and DRM, gradually being released for Games for Windows Marketplace and Steam over the following years.

On January 21, 2023, a DRM-free but singleplayer-only version was released on ZOOM Platform.[1] On March 7, 2024, the Steam version was updated to match the ZOOM Platform release.[2]

Issues unresolved

Audio Distortion

Engine sounds are extremely distorted and often blown out, with some sound effects not playing at times. While turning down in game audio can help, a solution is not known yet.
Fixed on digital versions (Steam and Zoom Platform) [7]

Issues fixed

The DVD will not install/uninstall due to missing privileges

Run autorun.exe as administrator[8]
When uninstalling the game, the same problem pops up, but the fix above will not work.
Run an uninstaller program

An example is Wise Program Uninstaller. In that case, open that, find FlatOut Ultimate Carnage in the list and select Safe Uninstall. Afterwards, the uninstaller attempts to remove related files and registries.

Game does not start after install

Install Games for Windows Live Marketplace Client

Juddery motion despite having a consistent frame rate

Use either 50 Hz or 100 Hz if the monitor is capable. If using G-Sync/FreeSync, use a third-party tool to cap the frame rate at 50 FPS or leave it uncapped for 100 FPS. Only leave it uncapped if the PC is capable of delivering 100 FPS consistently.

'Could not obtain native display resolution' error when using multiple monitors

Disconnect all secondary monitors and launch the game once. Close the game and reconnect monitors, all subsequent launches should work fine.

Stuttering, unstable FPS

Set launcher.exe and Fouc.exe to run in compatibility mode for Windows XP SP3.[citation needed]

Notes

  1. ↑ Games for Windows - LIVE DRM features: Legacy activation, supports local profiles.
  2. ↑ 2.0 2.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/12360/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (12360) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
