That could be the case, if you just moved an installed copy from another pc to your pc. If this is the case, try to delete tm, and install it new. But don't forget to save your personal data.

xbx has issued a new beta dedicated server that comes with beta client patches: viewtopic.php?f=28&t=23210
Note that these don't contain an installer, only the game and launcher executables, so they're only intended for the adventurous who'd like to help test them. This is client version 2.11.21 while the server is already ahead up to 2.11.23.

xbx has promoted the beta patches to official release. The only change is that the client version is now 2.11.23, in sync with the server, and the patches come with the usual installers again. Here is the relevant info:

Here's a new release to fix once for good (hopefully) the player's authentication.
Summary of the previous episodes: a few additional checks were added to the server to detected players that were changing login or using other people logins or fake logins. But they were only fixing the issue on the surface, and were easily circumvented.
So in this new version, we've introduce the correct fix (tm) for the issue, using rsa signature and the like, to make sure that people trying to connect with some login were actually validated and trusted by the master server.

There's also a new fix for the game available:
nations: http://files2.trackmaniaforever.com/TmN ... _Setup.exe
united: http://files2.trackmaniaforever.com/TmU ... _Setup.exe
(unzip in the Program files/trackmania folder)

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 forbiden via the config option).

maybe by cleaning cache, it may work.

I'll give that "beta" patch a shot. If I can crash it, I'll be a God

Read my previous post, it's no longer a beta.

Sorry. My bad.

It lags during startup pretty badly though (the validation thing will be the reason right?)

Already did that two days ago, if you had re-ownloaded xaseco110.zip before posting you'd have seen that.
