find a good server theres no lag.

Try to avoid servers people have just made, think about you hosting a server from your house and 20 people playing on it? It's just not going to work. Yesterday some guy hosted a server from his work place, was smooth as anything.

Ok just looking on device manager, all 3 USB human interface devices are linked to gaming pro keyboard, and I can't disable them...

Psypher5 · 29 Jan 2006 at 14:29

spamming this a bit, but, i get "invalid key" when trying to play online...

ScarySquirrel · 29 Jan 2006 at 14:49

yeah i get that too, just keep trying and it will let you in eventually.

i now have a new problem, im getting graphics corruption in game as if my GF card is ******, not overclocked, and all other games are fine.

i played for about 2 hours last night, no problems, now i get it everytime

Any elses car seem to be at full lock to the right when starting a race? Only happens occasionaly though which is odd.

Just like to say thanks guys for the tips on how to get this working with a Saitek keyboard.

For those with Saitek's go to Device manager\Human Interface Devices then disable Saitek Gamers' Keyboard and the USB Human Interface Device that says USB Gaming Keyboard Pro in its properties. Note there are two of these but you can only disable one of them (there is no disable option for the other), Just ignore the other!

Everything is working fine for me

You normally have to full lock to one side to miss a column or something anyway xD

Cant connect online due to invalid key, cant create new account due to bad server answer?

I'll download the version for use with existing game. 400mb, ugh

Anyone got a faster link? Only getting 10kb/s on a 4mb connection from the official.

Psypher5 · 29 Jan 2006 at 15:26

Is going at 110kb a sec for me

Psypher5 - the online play is so overloaded, you will get errors. I couldn't get on just now, try again later :/

Psypher5 · 29 Jan 2006 at 15:33

I couldnt connect online on trackmania sunrise either D: We killed trackmania!

This was happening to me, yea.

Then i unplugged my PS2 controller adapter.

i must be the only person in here not expierienceing(sp?) any problems

im still loving it, hating the pesky french guys who all seem like pros at it though

Anyone been trying to get the medals on solo play? Some of the later ones on advanced are kinda tough...can only manage Silver.

You really have to clip the apex's to perfection to get some good times tho

when you do you can fly round some parts of the track on full throttle

Trouble is theres no way to know the server's bandwidth.

A few enhancements to the server list columns would be nice.
