Read Full Detailed Report - Carmageddon: Reincarnation

Return of the murderous racing game where responsible driving involves making detours to ram anything that moves. Violence, driving skills and creative use of power-ups can be used indifferently to add time to the countdown and earn credits for on-the-fly repairs. True to its roots, Reincarnation leaves guns to lesser games and supports gender equality among protagonists, opponents and pedestrian victims alike. Parents will also be glad to know that the game has three tints of blood to choose from and contains a healthy teaspoon of british potty humor. This is Carma...

Wow this is surprising, cool that a kick starter game works. Shame performance is pretty terrible on several levels.

If this didn't perform so bad I'd be all over it! I guess I'm not surprised a kickstarter game that was made for the pc works better than some AAA games for wide gaming, but thats not enough to make me get it.

Since the late October 2015 update, performance has improved a lot, and we can now set the 'Screen limit' to move the HUD. the in-game settings aren't enough for multi-monitor, but if you open your config.lua in your game folder and raise the "safe_border_x" limit, I use safe_border_x = 0.5, and it works perfectly.

Yep, x is basically the distance between the left edge and the center of the picture, so...
safe_border_x = 0.5 puts the limit near the inner half of your side screens.
safe_border_x = 0.7 actually confines the HUD to the center screen.
Now all I have to do is upload an entire batch of new screenshots to make the update justice. *sobs*

Reincarnation is not available for sale anymore. The good news is, Carmageddon: Max Damage runs way better - and the HUD is perfectly centered from the get-go.
