Ok, then. I'll uninstall my steam, then re - install without steam. Ummm.... If I delete, then I have to reset up my server. I'll make a backup of trackmania folder in my document.

[Beta64]

According to my Steamed version of Nations Forever, you should have version 2.11.16 for the Steam TrackManias. I think that's the same as the 2008-07-30 patch mentioned.

Hi , i was messing arround with manialinks code to display a video file (.bik) on screen with a created .xml it works perfect
But one thing i came to knowthis is that when i tested the page on a unpatched tmuf version: the video whent outside the screen and i couldnt see it annymore , i had to change coordinates of the video or patch tmuf before i could see it again.

I wonder if annyone els is having this problem...

In Win7 dosen't work, i maded a backup, put the FIX, and launcher don't openeded, but TMFOREVER.exe dosen't start

I have Win7 too, but x64 version. Beta runs without problem.
I think your firewall is blocking the application because the files was changed, check your firewall.

On Vista Ultimate 64 some problems on closing the game, it take 2 min to close.

But ingame loading is very speed up.

Latest fix is now this one:

And so, there's also a new fix for the game available if you want to test a bit:
nations: http://files2.trackmaniaforever.com/TmN ... _Setup.exe
united: http://files2.trackmaniaforever.com/TmU ... _Setup.exe

It's mostly useful for the new login validation, but it includes some fixes too:

• fix for the crash when in multiplayer mode, the mouse is over a image in a server manialink page and the map changes.
• fixed the rumble on speedlink joypads
• issue with degraded texture quality for graphic cards with lots of RAM.
• issue with too restrictive access rights on the shared data folder, under vista.
• support for the new connection protocol with login signature checks
• clipping issues with the launcher and Japanese characters
• some little optimisations with load times
• add a few more fixes carried over from the dedicated server (crashes on invalid data or packets,..)

(and of course all the changes from previous fixes are also included)

The new protocol is supposed to allow a smooth transition (new clients can still connect to old servers, old clients can still connect to the new servers (if not forbidden via the config option).

Think I'll wait until it's a distributed patch/game update via the launcher's Update button.

[lille79]

Sorry, but this is the only offical patch you're going to get. The update-button will probably (sadly) never be used.

[El Fuego]

But isn't this "patch" supposed to be buggy? (From what I remember reading that thread). Or is that just the updated dedi?

[lille79]

There aren't any bugs that I've heard of, it's the dedicated server someone has had issues with. Only thing I've seen yesterday is that TMX doesn't allow uploading tracks I think from clients with the latest patch, but I haven't had time to check if that still is the case.

[nocturne]

Might as well add the changelog I gathered up to the main post...

More or less it's available in the linked topics, except for 'Ability to respond to Maniazone posts directly ingame' which was added in 2.11.23 .

Edit: Also, why not just lock this topic and refer any subsequent discussion to the thread regarding the current patch version, as to avoid any confusion.
