TrackMania Nations

Usually starforce games don't work in Vista, but I found an official
StarForce driver to solve this problem

the driver installs perfectly however, TrackMania Nations fails to launch...

Might require an update of the GAME as well as the driver.

Email them and ask them to use something that is more compatible
than starforce, or nothing at all so more people will buy the
game.

I don't get why the game has a copy protection at all since it is
available as a free download from their site. With the other TrackMania
titles I understand it but not with TrackMania Nations.

Thanks btw for the new driver link. I just had to boot into my linux
livecd to remove the driver TrackMania Nations installed which blocked
my windows from booting.

Greetings,
Benjamin

Hi,

Even if you are using an administrator account, you have to right click on
the Trackmania Nation Shortcut and launch it with the Administrator option.

I tried it and that's now working Smile

You have also to dowload the last star-force update here :

Have fun Wink

I tried to install TM Nations Forever, however upon executing the
installation file, the 'Extraction process' remained at 0%, for at least
2 hours, then to cancel it I needed to open Task Manager...
I did have internet connection, and I tried re-downloading the
installation file and trying again - to no avail.
From LoBi0's comment, I assume that others are at least getting past
the installation phase.
This is a newer version of TM Nations, so I'm hoping that it would be
Vista Friendly, but if anyone can help, it would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks,
Ben
