I love carmageddon 2, it wwas my first carmageddon and it's the reason why I'm here. I've been playing it a few times just to remember and it's still a great game so it's great that is coming to GOG.

Waiting for the reddit!

This release is VERY impressive.

It isn't just the original game wrapped up with a lot of tools to make it compatible, they hacked the executable directly to update it, it's like a patch 15 years later!

Good Guys GOG

About the resolution, this version comes with nGlide as the default glide wrapper, and it lets you change the resolution (native or custom) and proportions to your liking. (4:3 is original, 16:9 will stretch the game a bit)

No changes have been made to the executable netcode-wise. So multiplayer games won't work well at all over the internet. LAN games will work very nicely and you don't need VPN programs as the GOG version comes with an IPX wrapper.

The double error crash is new to this GOG version of C2 and is still under investigation (heh). You can however try some of this I guess:

1) Please make sure that you use "Run as Administrator" to install and to start the game (right click on the shortcut or setup file and select "Run as Administrator").

2) Please add the game to your anti-virus/firewall software's exception/trusted list.


3) Install the June 2010 DirectX runtime package, then use the DirectX web installer.


You can find the ZIP file containing the 2010 package installation files here:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109


You will have to extract the files into some folder, then open that folder and launch the DXSETUP.exe file in order to proceed with the installation.


Afterwards, download the latest DirectX web installer and use it as well:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35


4) Using an unusual DPI setting has been known to cause problems for some games. Please follow these steps to reset it to the default value and let me know if it helped:

I) Right-click an empty section of your desktop and go to “Personalize”,

II) Click “Display” in the bottom-left corner

III) Change your DPI setting to '100% (Default) and confirm by clicking “Apply”.

.

vvv @Benny: I don't think so. The mini pack doesn't offer the GOG updates, plus it was especially made for modders as everything is unpacked and it features elements from the dev build.

It sure does :) Though only in-game - the soundtrack doesn't come with it.

Flykas: it should work, a lot of people play C2 with a steering wheel so I guess it should work with other controllers.

foxkiller86: It even works on Win 8 ;)

is this a dosbox version like they did with carmageddon 1 or has it been tweaked and made to work natively on windows 7?

i have C2 working but it takes me forever each time to remember which patches and which fixes to apply to get it running and i can never remember what to do. if this is a native install to win 7 that "just" works please post!

Big question - does multiplayer work? I managed, with much hacking, to get multiplayer half working at one point on Carma2 on Windows, but it took a hell of a lot of messing about. I'd be tempted to get this if it'd play ball nicely without me having to bang my head repeatedly and bash out a lot of hacks on the machine!

Well it has UK-Blood Carma2 updated to SuperPatchV2, untwatted and unused content cleaned up. Another bonus is the fans activated (which are already so in the now-dead mod CARMA 2 Advanced).

..Say, are the missions in the US Interplay release with more time? That'd be comforting considering Stainless had so little time to playtest.
