The FlatOut collection is, and at all times will likely be, a traditional fight racing collection that also holds a particular place in my coronary heart. I’ve fond recollections of enjoying FlatOut 1 and a couple of, and with the ability to expertise the collection on the Steam Deck is such a deal with. Sadly, there have been some hiccups, particularly with FlatOut 3, however these appear to be non-existent anymore, because of new patches that had been pushed out right this moment!
FlatOut 3 undoubtedly has the most important change in terms of the Steam Deck and deserves some particular consideration. The sport is rated Unsupported and has not been capable of work with Proton to play the sport on Linux, however that’s not going to be a difficulty! In a message despatched to me by the developer ZOOM Platform (who’s engaged on the traditional FlatOut collection now), an replace has been pushed, and they’re ready for Valve to vary one thing on their finish, which can get FlatOut 3 launching with Proton! There isn’t a phrase on when it will occur, although, so if you wish to play and check out it now, you possibly can by utilizing this launch choice:
PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 PROTON_NO_FSYNC=1 %command%
However that is not all! The remainder of the traditional FlatOut video games acquired some good updates too! Each FlatOut 1 and a couple of acquired the Steam Deck Verified badge, all of them have buying and selling playing cards, backgrounds, emojis, and badges, cloud save assist has been added, new languages have been added, and a few enhancements have been carried out for the visuals.
However one of the best of those updates is well the Steam Workshop assist! This implies folks can create and add mods for the FlatOut video games and you may simply obtain them via Steam to make use of them whenever you play. I’m a sucker for mods, so this makes me extraordinarily joyful to see! These adjustments appear to solely be utilized to FlatOut 1, 2, and Final Carnage, however they’re nonetheless improbable to see!
Aside from the Steam Deck compatibility and launch choice, FlatOut 3 would not have any of those further enhancements. I used to be advised that FlatOut 3 was solely getting a small replace to get it working, however nothing extra substantial like the opposite video games.
You possibly can try the changelog for FlatOut 1, FlatOut 2, and FlatOut: Final Carnage through their Steam Neighborhood Posts.
All the video games can be found on Steam proper now for:
Every sport is rated Verified for the Steam Deck, and whereas FlatOut 3 remains to be Unsupported, this will not be the case for for much longer.
