The Steam version of FlatOut is the v1.0 version. This is the v1.1 patch for FlatOut that works with the Steam release.

Originally posted by Clya900[community.pcgamingwiki.com], the patch was missing 2 files are now included in this download, patch1.bfs, and patch.ini. Without these files, the game would fail to load, and shows a Runtime error. The game now has been tested on the Steam version, and works perfectly fine.

Original patch notes below:

FlatOut PC patch v1.1 2004-Dec-10
To install the patch:Copy the Flatout.exe, patch1.bfs and patch.ini files to the root of the install folder (by default this is c:\program files\empire interactive\flatout) and run the game.

The following items have been fixed or improved:

* Fix for the nVidia 66.93 drivers. The game no longer crashes when a race is started. The game has also been tested up to the 67.03 drivers with no problems found.

* Engine fire burns aligned to the car's coordinates, e.g. when the car is upside down, flames go down.

* Tuning menu: BHP meter and colors randomly switch when changing profile.

* Flip back and forth to statistics screen and the BHP grows bug.

* Force feedback slows game in some cases.

* 5.1 sound support is not working on some setups.

* Disconnects when returning to the lobby in multiplayer games.

* When the game briefly minimizes before starting a multiplayer game, sometimes gives a blue screen (this is quite rare, but it does happen sometimes)

* Only 2 players can play if NetLimiter is installed.

* Bug with public ip detection, if the commandline network options are used.

* Enabled a switch to allow the player to turn off ragdoll in single player (located in the Options Menu).

* Enabled multiplayer destruction derby.

what if the c:\program files\empire interactive\flatout folder is not there and i put the files in the folder steam redirects you the steam apps file from flatout, does that also work? and how can i tell if it worked or not?

Weird how Steam version is still v1.0, you'd think they had it brought to their attention at least once...

[Royal Armenian]

it is possible. there's a guide right here on steam that explains how to add more songs to one race so that the same song won't repeat over and over

[Woozie]

i don't think it's possible to do that sadly

[sag13]

does anyone remember how to make the music in the game not repeat.
