I scanned with UniExtract but I got this outcome:

MPRESS v2.12^ -> [ v ] - MATCODE comPRESSor for executables (C) 2007,2010, MATCODE Software - www.matcode.com
try Quick unpack v4.2 - www.AHTeam.org if problem try PE Tools v1.5.800 RC7 - www.uinc.ru and Easy Import finder 0.10b by Hellsp@wn

I tried IDA to load the GOG version of Flatout.exe (not the enhanced version) but it loads only one executable function but not all. Can someone help me hack or modify the executable to enable debugging or patching FlatOut.exe to load all multiple game functions or instructions with IDA or x64dbg?

A quick google of "MATCODE MPRESS dumper" returns several results. Including a blog post by the makers of IDA.

Tried a Google search but the MPRESS dumper GitHub repo is only MacOS. Can you still find an unpacker and dumper?

MPRESS is not hard packer, step-debug until OEP, dump and fix import, easy-peasy...
