TrackMania Nations - Free Complete online game + Starforce!

Smellyirishman

You only use the direction keys on your keyboard.... and the delete button every 10 seconds. No issues with the controls at all.

These games are absolutly fantastic, hopefully this free version will attract more deserved attention to thier other games.

Excellent game - anyone figured out how to connect to Rev's server? I can't see any way to manually enter an ip address.

Rev Hellfire

The server appears in the list as Vroom vroom - www.iol.ie

Stephen

good stuff, i'll go have a look now

I'm can only see Tig's sever under IRI and its password protected I can't find Vroom vroom?

Rev Hellfire

The server is under BEL you'll find it there.

UberNewb

Excellent!

eyerer

finally won a game
also found the server, uncheck hide full servers if you cant find it

I got on the Vroom vroom severs and there's some quick drivers there! I was happy enough with just finishing in the top 10 but in the excitement I rebooted the PC (don't ask) and now I keep getting "Bad Proxy Configuration" when trying to play online?

Anyone have any ideas what this is?

Rev Hellfire

I'd say its at there end I'm getting it as well.

UberNewb

Cheers,

I thought that maybe the problem as the ladders are up and down like a tarts nickers! :v:

I'll just have to keep trying....

Whats annoying is this is a free game why the fook does it need starforce. But there are loads of Demos that also have it.

If it's in the full game, then it needs to be in this free version and demos aswell, otherwise the warez monkeys can compare the executables to make their no-cd cracks. Of course that doesn't actually stop them, but it makes it alot harder.

And the full games use a cd key to play online a proven system that works but still they worry about the cd....../me shrugs.

Havent played this game yet (internet at home is down, posting from uni).

But on the topic of starforce, as for stopping noCD's (which its desgined for) its useless, its just as easy to work around as secuROM or any of the other methods, and whats worse is 1 method gets past ALL starforce games without fail, and no, you dont even have to unplug your CD rom's. As for it doing no damage, a guy in Australia who runs as series of net cafe's got a load of new games for his business, and it ended up doing hardware damage to nearly 1 in 8 PC's because some of the games had starforce, ended up causing several thousand pounds worth of damage, starforce paid for all damages and some compensation too post haste, if it truely didnt damage your PC, why would they just throw thousands of pounds at this guy? A link to the story was posted on this forum about 6months ago, if someone is willing to dig it up, its worth a read.

eyerer

interesting, yeah....someone dig it out...
