oxxorz: Good news — TM Nations Forever and TM United Forever have no Starforce :)

I understand that TM United (pre-Forever) had only binary encryption from that company, and did not include the ‘crapware’ drivers that you refer to. All earlier TM releases (up to TM Sunrise Extreme and the first TM Nations) included Starforce drivers.

Happily, TM United Forever incorporates all previous TM material, so if you buy that one you’ll get everything there is, without any crapware!

An earlier version of Trackmania installed crapware on my machine without asking my permission. I don’t touch that game since. Too bad, because it’s a good game.

I looked it up on wikipedia:the crapware in question is “StarForce”.

@Death by Toast: I don’t like to arrive in the bottom half so as I am faster if I have more fps and I don’t see colored things moving on the road… and then it runs much better on my old pc without the other cars.
If you want to try it out, just press ‘o’.

Cool.

Now do it again with clipping turned on. ;)

@ Fede

I have never looked for that option before, just turned down my graphics pretty much all the way, and then TM is fine. What would be the fun of racing against yourself in a multiplayer server tho?

Whats the name of the song in the video? Sure is catchy.

The 1k project is more impressive, but it’s just loads of replays all overlaid. This is 250 people, no?

Surely the 1K project is loads more impressive?

On the other hand I have Trials 2 and love it (but don’t know why people even compare it to TM as they’re completely different)

I think it’s the instant respawn and must-do-better dynamic that they both have that draws the comparison. I’ve played TM for the first time this afternoon and that’s the first thing I noticed.

Also: pretty.

They should use that in adverts, because the visual effect of seeing all the cars zip around the track is lovely.

Nice music, too.

Mindbrain I hope to god you don’t have a driving license.

Yeah, really. The controls for this game are UP DOWN LEFT RIGHT. Or if you’re really uber-1337 you might be able to cope with a joypad without your brain melting and leaking out of your ears.
