Issues fixed
The DVD won't install/uninstall because of admin rights
Even when you're the admin, the DVD may say the admin did not provide permission to the user to install the game
Run autorun.exe as admin
|
- Insert the disc.
- When the computer is done reading the disc, open file explorer, go to This PC, right click on the DVD drive and click Open
- Right click on autorun.exe (The icon may look like a golden disc) and select Run as administrator.
|
When uninstalling the game, the same problem pops up, but the fix above won't 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 Marketplace Client
|
The Steam version doesn't install the Games For Windows Live redistributable with the game, so it must be installed from elsewhere.
Install the Games for Windows Marketplace Client.
- This also installs the Games For Windows Live marketplace application, which you can uninstall if you just want to play the game.
|
Juddery motion despite having a consistent frame rate
Use either 50Hz or 100Hz if your 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 your 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.
|
Shuttering, non stable FPS
|
Make launcher.exe and Fouc.exe compatibility with Windows XP Service Pack 3 and launch game from launcher.exe.
