ok because it's on steam have you tried verifying the integrity of the game cache?

At the moment I have it not installed from Steam.
How to verify the integrity of the game cashe?

I just downloaded it from here: http://www.gamefront.com/files/TrackMania+Nations+Forever+Free+Full+Game/;10013754;/fileinfo.html and installed.

Since it would not work, I also tried to install from steam, with the same problem.

In steam you right click on the game then click properties then click local files and verify cache.

I'm also having the same problem as you and nothing i try helps.

Just verifyed my files even though i have only just downloaded this game to test and it found 1 bad file so i let it fix this and now i get a DX9 error lol.

Was getting a white screen before i checked files.

Let me know if you get it running some way! Thanks for trying!

Steve-007UK · Aug 20, 2014

I gave up with the steam version after trying many things and decided to download the files elsewere and guess what? It now seems to work hmm.

I did nothing else to the files after downloading them from another site, i just ran it and it worked but the steam version defo does not work for me.

I got it working animal007uk!!

Softonic had an updated version 2.11.26 and I had downloaded version 2.11.11 probably the same version as on Steam.
Thanks!

Hahah nice nice and your welcome just glad it worked.
Think i will have to moan at valve and get them to fix the steam version.

I think i will keep this installer and then if anyone needs it i will be happy to upload it so others can download

Hey animal007uk,

I just installed TM Nations Forever and have the same problem - the only difference is that I've got Windows 10. Do you think you could upload or give me a link to the version you've got? That'd be great!!

You just need to search and download a patch from the internet.

or

Have fun playing! :toast:

Luka KLLP · Aug 25, 2015

Had the same problem on Windows 10, there was actually a guide on Steam for fixing it (it says Windows 8 but worked for me): "http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=448953593".

Probably the same patch P4-630 gave, but I thought it might be worth mentioning

colfin_96 · Aug 25, 2015

Thanks for your answers, but none of them worked. I tried both of P4-630's links, downloaded and installed and tried compatibility mode, restarted the computer, executed as admin, but it didn't work. I also tried Luka's link but changing the .ini file didn't work either...

Additionally I checked I had the newest Chipsets etc. installed as my system is only a day old

I'll try installing and playing some other games and see if they work. I'll tell you if they do or don't

Thx again for your help

Steve-007UK · Aug 25, 2015

Just downloaded and tested and it all seems to work fine for me on windows 10 with no patch but i guess the version i have is the most uptodate.

Will link the version i just installed once it's uploaded.

http://we.tl/jBPUTLq7jn This is the version i used and all i did was install it and that was it, no patching or editing files and it just worked.

If it does not work for anyone else then i don't know what to say to be honest.

colfin_96 · Aug 25, 2015

Still doesn't work... I think it's got to do with my laptop - When I start it and it closes straight away, there aren't even any logs in the Event Viewer so I'm guessing something's wrong with my computer... Funny thing is, that it had worked on a previous installation of Windows 10, which was on my HDD. I've added an SSD lately and installed Win 10 on that and wiped my HDD, but I don't see how that would change anything...
I also added a second RAM stick (or how do you call them?) to my laptop so it's nice and fast, but maybe that's what's causing the problem... I'll remove it tonight and retest it again.

Steve-007UK · Aug 25, 2015

Can you list your laptop specs please as it might help us work out whats going on.

On thing you can try is download the directx websetup and let it install any missing files if it needs to.
https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=35

Also make sure your drivers are installed and uptodate.

colfin_96 · Aug 25, 2015

Ok I've added the Specs - I hope they help. It's basically a standard Acer Aspire 7739G with an added SSD and 4GB Ram card and I've removed the CD Drive (for the SSD

)

I've actually just reinstalled Win 10 because there was some problem but I'm just getting loads of errors now

I think my laptop doesn't like Win 10

When did you first notice issues? I notice from your system spec that you have mixed memory modules so i wonder if this is causing issues.

jboydgolfer · Aug 26, 2015

just DL'd this, seems like a decent distraction for a bit....and maybe longer.

After I added my SSD, I installed Win 7 on it and then updated it to Win 10 (I know this sounds stupid, but that's the way I did it

). Then I also added the 4GB Ram and then installed TM. That's when I noticed it. I actually just downloaded Maniaplanet too and that doesn't work either.

The last time I played TM was before I added the SSD and RAM - but on Win 10!

I've removed the Ram but neither of the Trackmanias work... They both just flash up and close after you press "Play"

I also tried turning my Firewall completely off and have tried launching TM in different networks, because I thought it might have to do with that, but same problem anywhere, so it must have to do with my laptop itself.

Steve-007UK · Aug 26, 2015

Have you installed the drivers from nvidia and intel?

colfin_96 · Aug 26, 2015

Well according to my Device Manager it says Intel(R) HD Graphics and NVIDIA GeForce 610M...

colfin_96 · Aug 26, 2015

Hey all

It finally works!!! I went to acer and downloaded the drivers for nvidia and intel - there were 3 different ones... I installed them all and it finally works!! Thanks for all your help! It was my stupidity once again...
