Sweet!

I loved Trackmania Nations, even though, like you Joe, I'm not the biggest racing game fan either.

phuzz · 17th Apr 2008, 11:10

Careful tho, there's reports of Starforce DRM being used, but not on the Steam version. (not downloaded yet meself so I can't say for sure)

phat-ant · 17th Apr 2008, 11:20

fathazza · 17th Apr 2008, 12:22

tis a rocking game, im a big fan of the platform gametype

plagio · 17th Apr 2008, 12:27

If this is bloated with starforce I won't dare to download it.
Does anybody know if the steam one is starforceless ?

r4tch3t · 17th Apr 2008, 12:32

The steam one has no Starforce on it. Just Google it.

whats the benefit of copy protection on a game that's free :-s

Tomm · 17th Apr 2008, 13:13

I can't find it on Steam? Any ideas?

Tomm · 17th Apr 2008, 14:08

OK, so now I've downloaded it via Steam, it won't work. D'Oh. When I double click the game in the Steam list, *something* happens for a second or two, then nothing more.

There are two versions a free one and a retail one, the latter has more tracks and updated graphics.

free = trackmania nations forever
retail = tackmania united forever

also note both of these are on steam too I thought just retail one is but the free one can be downloaded via steam.

Hmm, the Steam version still isn't working but the other one works well, good game. Cheers for the heads up

P.S. I read on the TM forums that none of the recent versions including TM Nations have Starforce. Just so you know.

lcdguy · 17th Apr 2008, 17:34

not sure where your problem lies as i downloaded the steam version and while it does crash from the game some times. But it does work. the downside of course is that when there are 60 plus players it lags my system like crazy.
