ZOOM Platform Media just gave the classic racers FlatOut and FlatOut 2 some more free upgrades, nice to see them continued to be supported. Both games are Steam Deck Verified / SteamOS Compatible, with the developers at ZOOM Platform Media ensuring they work well through previous upgrades.

For FlatOut:

  • Added 18 brand new achievements!
    • If you have already met their requirements, some achievements will automatically unlock. Due to how the game tracked statistics before this update, some achievements, require you to accomplish them with a new save.
  • Improved LOD and render distance.
  • Added Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese localizations.
  • Other minor fixes.

      Due to how the game tracked statistics before this update, some achievements, require you to accomplish them with a new save.
  • Updated various loading and menu screens.
    • Based on your valuable feedback, we created new loading screens and overhauled some of the menu backgrounds based on the originals.
  • Improved render quality of some in-game text.
  • Improved render distance.
  • Updated the configurator and added more options.
  • Added a reflection shader fix for AMD GPUs.
  • Added Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese localizations.

Note: the GOG versions are quite outdated at this point.

Ugh I wish my copies I had purchased from GOG had transferred over back when they were doing that library share thing with Steam. They're $1.49 and $1.99 right now on Steam though so I went ahead and re-purchased them there.
