A new Hot Fix is available now (Beta v0.9.0.6674). This will be automatically applied to your game, the next time you run the Steam client. If your game is not being updated, please log out of Steam and back in and it should then start the update.

Data miss match issues when in multiplayer
Data miss matches should be a lot better. If you do experience one, close the game down and re-launch.

Crash when changing resolution
Changing to a higher resolution was sometimes producing a crash. This should now be fixed.

Flickering shadow issues
Sometimes skid marks were causing issues where you would get big patches of what looked like flickering shadows.

Crashes due to audio being triggered when no sound card is present
If you didn’t have a sound card in your PC and the game triggered the announcer audio to play, you may have crashed.

Crash on start-up
There were issues on some machines where the game would crash as soon as the Max Splash screen appeared. This should be a lot better.

As Carmageddon: Reincarnation [official site] continues to smash, bash, dash, crash, and splash its way through Early Access, it’s now reached a point where I’m starting to think about picking it up. Developers Stainless Games today launched the death racer’s first beta version, meaning it’s now the whole game with all its modes, cars, and levels, just a little unpolished. Yes, this does include multiplayer. Murdering your pals seems a fair enough way to spend Valentine’s Day.

*Note: As this is a Beta release, from time to time between Beta and full release there may be patches and updates to the game, which may result in your Save game being reset and Career progress lost – including Leaderboard positions (we will do all we can to avoid this, but it’s possible). At the same time, any Challenge progress would also be reset. But that just means you get to have ALL the fun over AGAIN! (Any Achievements that have been unlocked will remain so.)

Yes Carmafans, we’re excited to announce yet another NEW
post-Thanksgiving celebratory retail opportunity day… Brown Thursday!


So, you know how you can currently get a FREE copy of the Carmageddon Max Pack and Carmageddon 2: Carpocalypse Now if you already own or purchase Carmageddon: Reincarnation on Steam Early Access. Yeah! What a great bundle deal!

Well, as of today, Brown Thursday, that bundle has goddamn GROWN!

You know that slightly whiffy leftover turkey lurking at the back of the fridge that you’d normally avoid, but might end up eating, usually by accident, usually when drunk? Well, that’s kind of what we have for you here… Although you might recall it by its other name: Carmageddon TDR 2000! Yes, this old bird has been given a quick sluice-out and pronounced almost fit for human consumption… Because, in a move that some are calling “Their Daftest Hour”, we heroically managed to hold down our leftover turkey lunch for long enough to get Carmageddon TDR 2000 working and on Steam! So, altogether now… woo!

Now, being completely honest here, it’s well known that 1) Stainless didn’t develop TDR 2000 and 2) just about everyone we know thinks that it’s a bit POO. BUT, there’s no accounting for taste, and some people have actually asked us to release it. And so, just for those poor souls (plus anyone else who enjoys getting a “full package”) we’re more than happy to plop it into your Carma collection. And for the rest of us, well…. Maybe give it a spin every now and then to remind everyone what a GREAT JOB we did on Carmageddon 1 and 2!

So, you wonderful Carma peoples, if you already own Carmageddon: Reincarnation, you’ll find that Carmageddon TDR 2000 has also automatically added to your Steam games list. And for those of you who don’t own Carmageddon: Reincarnation, what the hell are you waiting for? Get it on Steam NOW, and get the FULL CARMAGEDDON COLLECTION at the same time, with our compliments… because we LOVES YA!!*

*Yes, even you fans who think TDR is the best in the series. We still loves ya, even though you’re WRONG. And MAD!

Health Warning! Please note: Just like that whiffy old turkey, don’t blame us if TDR 2000 consumption is rapidly followed by uncontrollable projectile vomiting and violent diarrhoea!

Oh MORE NEWS!? YAY! Those of you who watch our Twitch session will know that many people have been asking whether Carmageddon 2 will be coming to Steam, and our reaction has been to always playfully avoid a direct answer… BUT NOT ANY MORE!

Because we were merely toying with you… We knew the answer all along… And Carmageddon 2: Carpocalypse Now is available NOW for ALL in the Steam Store. YES!! Now you can play THE SECOND COMING of the classic original Carmageddon series – without having to leave the comfort of your Steam Account!

Carmageddon 2: Carpocalypse Now supports LAN Multiplayer – so you can have MP fun while waiting for MP to be ready for release as part of a forthcoming Carmageddon: Reincarnation Update!*

And it’s DRM Free, too!

It’s available to buy on Steam HERE, at £5.99/€7.99/$9.99.

*What?! You don’t even already own Carmageddon: Reincarnation, available on Steam Early Access? Well then get yerself off there NOW and GET IT!! Because if you DO buy Carmageddon: Reincarnation at its current special offer price of £19.99/€24.99/$29.99, then you’ll get the Carmageddon Max Pack AND Carmageddon 2: Carpocalypse Now bundled with it FOR FREE! THAT’S CORRECTIMUNDO… FREE!!! WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND COULD RESIST AN OFFER LIKE THAT?

(If you already own the Carmageddon Max Pack or Carmageddon 2: Carpocalypse now, then buying Carmageddon: Reincarnation afterwards will award you a giftable copy of both games. If you already own Carmageddon: Reincarnation, and have yet to redeem your free copy, you should find it in your Steam library.)

Stay tuned… we’ll have even more fun stuff coming your way over the coming weeks!

Please note that Carmageddon 2 was originally published in 1998, and although it’s been extensively tested and “should just work (TM)” on a wide range of current PC specifications, it is sold “as-is”, with no plans for patches, updates or bug fixes.

Yes - you’ve been asking us for it, and we’ve listened! We’re HIGHLY EXCITED to announce that ALL EARLY ACCESS CUSTOMERS (including past, current and future EARLY ACCESS owners and purchasers) of Carmageddon: Reincarnation will now also find an additional treat for them in their Steam Library, in the shape of the Carmageddon Max Pack (that’s Carmageddon 1, and the Carmageddon Splat Pack)! Wowsers! Yes, now you can play “compare the original with the NEW game” – without having to leave the comfort of your Steam Account! And what’s more, it supports LAN Multiplayer too – so you can even have some MP fun while waiting for MP to be ready for release as part of a forthcoming Carma:R Update! It’s DRM Free, too!

That’s right – if you’re one of our Early Access supporters, we want to show you our gratitude in as many ways as possible, and so we’ve decided to make the original Carmageddon and its “DLC” the Splat Pack available to you, free of charge. Not only do you get it free and with our best wishes, but you get it a week before it will become available to buy on Steam as a stand-alone product, at £5.99/€7.99/$9.99.

Stay tuned… we’ll have even more fun stuff coming your way over the coming weeks as well as the regular game Updates.

Please note that the game was originally published in 1997, and although it’s been extensively tested and “should just work (TM)” on a wide range of current PC specifications, it will be sold “as-is”, with no plans for patches, updates or bug fixes.
