German Language pack for Top Speed 2.1
The first language pack for Top Speed 2.1 has already arrived! It was made by Alexander Westphal and can be found on our download page.
Release Candidate for Top Speed 2.1 has arrived!
Exactly four years after the first public release of Top Speed 1.1, an updated version of Top Speed 2 is available for testing. Top Speed 2.1 has some bug fixes compared to 2.0 aswell as some minor new features:
the menu has been rearranged
some new sounds, tracks and cars
more realistic physics model
support for custom tracks in multiplayer
Known issues:
In the menu, two sounds won't be playing simultaneously anymore, except in the local internet game selection menu, where this issue can still occur.
The ReadMe contains some 'empty' sections. This will be fixed in the final release.
Sometimes the game crashes when you leave the assign keys section of the options menu
The X-Sight Interactive TS2 Utility Pack also could contain some bugs or problems. As this pack isn't a product of Playing in the dark, you can send your bug reports or questions to support@x-sight-interactive.net
We would like to thank Davy Kager from Ducktail Games for the programming assistance. A special thanks to Damien Sadler for contributing the TS2Pack. Also a thank you for Arjan Tool, Melanie van Egmond, Axel Vugts and Florian Bijers for the initial testing.
Note: This is a release candidate version, which means that the game could still contain some bugs and issues. Please mail your bug reports (with the tracing.txt file attached) to topspeed@playinginthedark.net
Happy racing,
Leonard, Bram and Davy

Hi everybody! It´s been a while since you´ve heard from us. In the meanwhile it´s apparent that the release of Top Speed 2 has some delay. The release of a quality game and all that surrounds it takes a lot of work and we are trying to take care of every detail. All features have been implemented and we are just fixing bugs. We´ll keep you posted when we have a better view of the release date.

We´ve had a lot of applications for betatesters. Unfortunately, our betatest team is fully occupied and we´re not accepting any new testers at the moment. The good news is that the tests are going rather well, so you won´t have to wait too long to play Top Speed 2!
Betatesting started

Today we released the first betaversion of Top Speed 2 to our betatesters. This
seems like a good time to give away some more details about the new game. Among the new features are :
- Online multiplayer racing
- Race against computer opponents
- New cars
- Support for Force Feedback steering wheels and joysticks
- A new "options" menu to customize game settings
- Provisions for user built tracks and cars

New website

- Posted on: 12-11-2004
As you have noticed, the new homepage is online. I hope you like it and that it´s accessible. What you´re probably really interested in is the games. Well, Top Speed 1.1, or the Englisch version of Top Speed, has been in betatest for a couple of weeks now and if all goes well will be released on this website somewhere in the next couple of days as soon as Leonard has finished his installscript.
Besides Top Speed we´ve been working on a completely new game for some months now. Since it´s still a long way from being completed I´m not going to give away details but it is a bigger project than Top Speed.
