Game FIX (2010-03-15 , 2.11.26)

[Chris92]

Hey Guys, have a big problem... Downloaded today the fix per Update Button of the TMUF launcher.. When I want to start the update, after I've chosen language, following error appears (Hope the translation from german is correctly): Can't check current version of Trackmania United Forever

Then setup closes itself, but Trackmania is working without any problems.
Could you help me please? Want to install this Fix, and I'm not @home at the moment, so I haven't got my DVD here to re-install my TrackMania.
Please help me!

Does the latest update 2.11.26 come with Startrack campaign? Or, firstly I have to install the 2.11.25 starttrack update and then this?

yes. i just added a note about it

Anyone have the full thing they can post somewhere for a manual download?
What's in the update this time?

what about reading the 1st post ?

Probably an incomplete install. Did you re-install windows and just use the previous TMF game directory without installing the game again ?
I will make a zip of changed files for manual update for those who have problems with the setup exe.

Heh, I see you've added a bunch of new information I didn't see in the first post yesterday.
Thanks!

Which version of the game do you have installed ? I mean where did you buy it from and what are the logos on your packshot ?

Got a new Laptop on Christmas Holidays.
Re-Installed it and only fetched the Folder from "My Documents" with the Skins, Maps, and Mods/Avatars

At the moment I've got the version 2.11.25, I think that's the version you have, after you installed the StarMania Update

hello,

Chris92, can you post a screenshot with the error ?
Can you post also the contents of your Nadeo.ini file ?

As one of the few people playing Trackmania with music, I have a serious problem since I updated:
Whenever the music is NOT playing, the framerate drops to around 30fps. If the music is playing, or I disable the music (by setting the volume to 0 ingame) the framerate goes up to 60fps again (I'm using VSync)
- Sometimes, when a map starts, the music won't start, even if its the default music
- Sometimes, the music does not loop when the song is over
- Sometimes, if cusom music is loaded via a .loc file, I get the infobox at the top of the screen once it is done loading, but no music starts
- Sometimes, the music just starts after a few minutes playing on the map
- Happens in all envirs, online and offline

In every case, as soon as the music plays, I have 60fps again

This problem did not exist before the update, HOWEVER I skipped the stardays patch.
Actually, maybe this problem theoretically did exist before, it just didn't happen that the music wouldn't play before this patch...

System:
8800GTS with 320MB
Core2Duo 2,7GHz
3GB RAM
XP SP3

I'll try to update my gfx drivers now, I'll report here if it solved the issue.

Wow, interesting you should mention that... I've been suffering the exact same problem, but have blaming my old sound card thinking it's going out (as I've actually been experiencing some other weird anomalies in other programs some; but I'm not wondering how much of it is coincidence, as the only reliably reproducible is TrackMania.)

On top of what you described, my sound will sometimes not go completely out, but will change to erratic noise that is high-pitched and highly-annoying. It seems to reset itself after some resetting myself on the track some (like you said with it starting a few minutes into the track.)

This weirdness not only affects my music, but my engine sounds and horns too... I never know what's going to go, but as soon as one or more of them go "mute", the FPS drops to 30, but seems much more laggy/jittery than that.

It's very frustrating when I'm doing official runs in Solo mode...

I don't remember if I started noticing it before or after the StarTrack update, but it has been fairly recently, so I wouldn't be surprised if it started around that time.

It seems like this might deem its own thread, so we can more quickly find out if others are experiencing the same problem? Thanks for bringing it up... I might be able to have more faith in my sound card...

My specs (at least the ones I assume matter):
Intel Quad Core Q6600
4GB Ram
NVIDIA GTX285 1GB
SoundBlaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum

I've recently had an issue where the sound would be OK in the menu, but as soon as I joined a server and started to race the sound would go out completely. Go back to the menus and sound was back.

However it doesn't do this anymore - all is OK.

I haven't seen anyone with my problem so I'm asking.

When I try to install the 2.11.26 update, It says "distros not compatible". I'm under Windows XP and I have never seen different updates for windows and for linux, to give an example.

Hope you can answer me, or post the update files to uncompress.

I have updated Update 2010-03-15 .Now it says every day: new update available and when i try to install it ,it says you dont need to install this.
