Thanks for that. At least I now know it's not buggy. The only 'advantage' in connecting from time to time, is picking up a load of planets, for which I have no use. This is the only game I own, which is restricted in this way and I will not be keeping the account, as soon as I can find someone to ta...

I bought Canyon, Stadium and Valley, some time ago, from the Nadeo site, not Steam. I only play offline and when I come back to the game after an absence of some weeks, I always get the above message and have to go online to activate each environment. Why? I had hoped that my image backups would sto...

Thanks to all for your replies. I'll just concentrate on improving my scores.
I only play Offline; might find a use for all those Planets, sometime.

Then selected VALLEY A09 (easily got Author 28.42, with Stadium physics). (Was struggling for the Golds on these two tr...

Just the environment, by the back button - I did read your post first.
Perhaps I don't see the subtle differences, but I have swapped envs a few times to try it out.
Probably my incompetence.

However, I'm not seeing any difference. (I reinstalled the 3 Envs with all game updates on 6/8/2013).
Don't appear to have the 'glitch'.

Thanks Demented, info much appreciated.

Have you tried driving the canyon car (w/canyon physics) in the valley env?

Just how do you do that?
