Mega download link:

(If this link goes down for whatever reason, scroll down to the message in all caps)
tl;dr: Replace the .exe in the steam folder with the one from this download link and it should work, contact me if it doesn't i can help i guess
FAQ:
Q: does it work for both steam and retail (cd rom) versions?
A: as confirmed in the comments, yes, but note if you have version 1.0 there will be few players.
Q: Where is the exe located? I cant find it!
A: The .exe should always be located in the main game directory ((hard drive letter with steam library on it, most likely C): 〉Program Files (x86) 〉Steam 〉steamapps 〉common 〉FlatOut2) (I'm unsure about the retail version, it should just be in the CD drive) If the .exe is not there then try verify integrity of game cache through steam (you can look up how to do that).
Q: When I select online it fails to connect.
A: Most likely a step was missed, steam may be still booting from the original .exe. make sure you renamed the .exe files correctly. ((*important*)) also make sure not to add ".exe" in the name. It should automatically add the file extension onto the end. naming it that will just cause it to be "FlatOut.exe.exe" which will not work.
I am always open to more questions. ask away!
UPDATE:
IF THE MEGA LINK FOR WHATEVER REASON GETS TAKEN DOWN IN THE FUTURE, JOIN THE DISCORD LINK BELOW AND LOOK IN THE PINNED MESSAGES IN #multiplayer YOU CAN DOWNLOAD A .rar THERE CONTAINING THE .exe

Sorry for the spelling and grammar errors I wasn't very good at this when I made this video.
still works !! ty men (July 2019)
btw. 80% sale for flatOUt 2 on Steam now !!
Its not working now. I was tried this like 8 month ago (you can see comment in this video) and it works. But i tried today (25.8.2020) and its not working. Always when i start the game and i try click on the multiplayer its told me this : Network error. Please check your network configuration and try again. And i do everything right. I check this video like 10x times and do like 10x times and still not working. Please help me :)
Have you reinstalled the game and *everything?* Also check your internet connection and make sure nothing is being blocked by your firewall. If all else fails send me the exact steps you are doing in screenshot form or something.
@@everythingflatout984 i have antivirus turn off and yes i do like 20x times reinstall game
@@mirelswag Antivirus is different from firewall. An antivirus finds malicious files on your computer and firewall blocks suspicious connections and websites from the internet. Go here and download the "OpenSpy Availability Checker Tool v1.0.1.21" through the hyperlink on this website: openspy-gateway.cf/ and select Flatout 2 PC in the dropdown menu and hit refresh after you extract and run the .exe. it will say if it is available or not. this way we can identify if the problem is connecting to openspy servers or something else.
i never,and i mean NEVER find servers when i look for them,is there a problem or is the game just dead?
Worked first time, awesome share dude :)
My Controller isn't working since i put the .exe in the GameFiles. Can somebody help?
thank you man!!! ^^ it`s working
THX MAN ITS WORKING COOOOL
(June 2020)
Didn´t got a "FlautOut2.exe" in the folder and when I´m putting the downloaded FlatOut2 Version and started the game over steam there aren´t any changes.
And when i click on "Online" I get this Errormessage: "Network error. Please check your network configuration and try again."
The game can't run without the .exe, make sure you are looking in the right place. (Btw I am Everythingflatout, I am just too lazy to switch accounts right now)
@@Saghaley I did but there is no game with the .exe version
@@derschorehd538 are you using the steam version or cd?
@@Saghaley Steam version
@@derschorehd538 if you go to your steam, right click on the game (like I did in the video) and go to properties, local files, browse local files. you should see one of the files that says "FlatOut2.exe" with the wheel icon. If it is not there than there is no way that your game could launch in the first place. Try double checking and get back to me if it still isn't there.
man, i've got a little problem with "This game session is no longer available". Can anybody help me out? I've also used that whole PortMapper thing if you could ask
I have the same problem :(
It crashes after a friend click on get ready..help!
Works! Thank you very much! :)
I can join to online but i havn't servers. Pleas help me.
can you elaborate?
Thanks is working
Does it still work in 2020 ? and why the file is modded? has it virus? openspy isnt a great name for a Organization.
Yes it still works and no it's not a virus. Openspy is a non-profit organization which is a free alternative for games that ran online play on Gamespy servers which shut down early 2014. The download is not Openspy, but simply a modified fo2 exe that connects to Openspy servers instead of the inactive Gamespy servers.
@@everythingflatout984 ok thanks but how many people still play This ? I hope not only 5 or 7.
@@zolux2884 I haven't been on in months, yet when I played last it wasn't terribly difficult to find a game. If you want you can join the discord link at the bottom of the description and send a message in # multiplayer and ask around.
@@everythingflatout984 ok
Work ! thx
how do I invite my own friends to a private game?
The way the room system works is very rudimentary compared today's online games. There isn't really an invite option nor a room password feature (I don't think). What you could do is create a room with a player limit of you and how many friends are playing with you and fill the room so nobody else can join. If any unwanted player joins before your friends do there is a kick player option. You could also use Hamachi network to run a lan game but that can be much more laggy. Hope this helps!
WORK !
Could you make an infinite nitro guide? I'm dying to get it to work
works only for steam version? because I have it cd but it does not work I do not see people
I would not know if it works on the cd version. if you have already tried replacing the .exe in the files then it probably won't work.
It works with normal version too. (patched to 1.2) because on 1.0 there are no players....
thanks
Evolv3 is also a solution
Yes, but that requires running an external program. Also lan play doesn't have the same options as online play. Like kicking, chat (I think), etc
OMG can please tell how to install most wanted mod pls
there are plenty of tutorials online for this that have worked for me, I might do a video in the future when I get the time :/
