I wondered if my unusual monitor or gfx card setup was the cause. I changed to using one gfx card (GeForce 260), and one monitor (2560x1600). It made no difference. I tried on a different PC (Win7, i7 4770, 8GB, GeForce 760, MP on HDD). The times fell from 50 and 25s to 6 and 3s. More powerful/expen...

Flickering textures when blockmixing has been highlighted as one of its major problems. In early 2008 (when TMN ESWC was the only release version of Stadium) I posted about possible technical solutions in Overlapped textures glitch . Since that's a limited-access subforum, and the most interesting l...

No, I explicitly mentioned that thread in the first post to point out it's not the same symptoms. My mouse, desktop, and other applications remain responsive. Even in the case of switching MP from full-screen to windowed, although MP still occupies its monitor for the first half of the delay, I can ...

I looked closer at all the disk activity during a minimised -> full screen transition using Sysinternals Process Monitor . There are frequent disk accesses throughout a period of about 24.5 seconds except for a 1 second gap starting about 3 seconds after the start. The files being accessed are mainl...

I'm getting quite long delays when switching ManiaPlanet between fullscreen/windowed/minimised. For example, switching from fullscreen to windowed takes nearly a minute. Timings from when in MP's initial menu: full screen -> minimised = 0s minimised -> full screen = 25s full screen -> windowed = 50s...

A screenshot without the perpetrator's login means little; using a fake nickname is trivial. Get the login.

It is possible to connect around the world with 2ms ping. I've seen it. Even at the speed of light, 2ms ping (i.e. 1ms out, 1ms back) only gets you 300km. For a location on the opposite side of the planet you can't do better than about 130ms round trip (surface travel, 40,000km. Or 25,000km and 80m...

you bought this game 6 times and spend 240€ on it? useless? You could try using your brain a little. I said I have six accounts, not that I bought it six times. TMU is currently available for 10€ . I bought TMU 3 times, at prices as low as £5 (yes, TMU used to be available for less money than ...

did that really said Quiksilver? Yes, the quote is from 2009-09-14, in direct reference to the post I linked earlier: Official Mode Cheater . I doubt if he is mis-remembering, since the posts are separated by only one day. By the way, I have six TMU accounts. Are you calling everyone with more than...

dont insult me as an liar or cheater if its not the truth But you have lied and cheated so I'll say it if I like. I repeat: here is a quote from Quiksilver (on one of the CMC forum private sub-boards): Re: wiidesire good to see kickage wasnt a bad decision he offered me the cheat as well So yes, yo...
