I don't exactly know how it is to have TMNF atm with all those Freezone things, but try to add "HydraServerEvents" as serverlogin to your favourites...

Btw:
Track is online for practise, pit stop is extended to 2 minutes and the, well, miserable anti cheat beam is replaced by a less crashy pack of posts.

Well, basically it doesn't allow you to join non-FreeZone servers until you add them to your favourites.

Also if they join a FreeZone server, they get an auto-spectate every 5 tracks. :shake3:

I saw the trailer of it (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUQ-AZXhUTc) It was really wonderful! :bg:

And Trackmania United Forever is IMO the best Trackmania game so far. :cool:

On the maniaplanet forum beta-keys were gave away in "stupid games".
I couldnt get one...

Since last sunday they could upload videos to youtube...

On youtube, search for "trackmania 2 beta" and you'll get drowned with beta vids!

Looks phantastic, but my computer is too old for it i think and there's no money for a new one. TM2 has to live without me, hello GeneRally. :gr:

Are you serious? It even ran with 50/60 fps on a acer revo! (nadeo tested that, and its a super crappy desktop pc)

They are trying to make it work on even super old pcs! Ofcourse you can run it!

If i play it i wanna be competitive. I had the same thing with TM before i got my newer graphics board, i could race with low settings, but it aint't really fun like that. I will see...but at this time i think Ubisoft doesn't deserve my 20 Euros. :evil: (may be stupid, but... :shake: )

What on earth are you running? Even my 2 GHz Pentium 4 with a bargain-basement Radeon 9550 128 MB could run TMUF on above the low settings!

I was having a work experience the last weeks at our local computer shop, and even a Geforce 4 with amazing 64mb managed Trackmania. :D

How on earth are you only running that on low settings, with that quality of GPU? TMUF only asks for a 16 MB GPU!

50/60 fps on an Acer Revo doesn't mean super quality, and the Atom is more powerful than a Pentium 4 (as is everything else... :rofl: ), but if it runs on a Revo, it'll run fine on your computer Reh, and as I said before, if you aren't running TMUF at close to the max without lag, you've either got a hardware fault, or it's time to reinstall Windows...

Re: Anyone here play Trackmania?

Ive posted this review on the ManiaPlanet forum (nadeo's new gaming-platform thingy):
Now heres what i think of TM²!

First of all, the car.

The car is a pretty fast muscle car, wich cant brake so fast, and wich can drift very well.
I could drift one of the first times i tried! Airbraking didnt go so well. For some reason, the car wouldnt always airbrake .

Second: the graphics.

Optimisation for old PC's? I dont think so! I had to run it in the lowest resolution with settings set to super-fast!
And it still lags! I hope this will be updated in the final game, because, this isnt really an old pc...

Third: the editor.

The editor was awesome! There were so much cool blocks! Only problems were that it took a while for a block to be placed if you clicked. And i could see through the blocks (not really thru, but on the other side i could see the underground of the canyon). For some odd reason, my mouse also didnt work right and alot of times it didnt place the block where i wanted it. And the last problem, the copy and paste. It was a little bit messy, and it wasnt really good because of that. But still, the editor was nice and ive already made 4 tracks with it!

Final results!!!1!!1!!!111one!one1

+ New nice blocks
+ Good car handling
- Editor a bit buggy
- Messy copy and paste
- LAAAAAAAAGGG

And thats about it.
Ill give TM² a... 7 out of 10.

Honestly TM2 doesn't really look different enough right now to justify the purchase... and it seems like they're focusing a lot on SPEED!!!1!!1!! which isn't really my thing.
I like short, simple signatures!
