ShootMania installed automatically and cannot be removed

Post by hrax »

Hi,

yesterday I was playing the game and I had there only 3 games installed canyon, stadium and platform. Today I run the game a banner for shootmania storm appears and after that I see 4 new tiles for shootmania in the game that cannot be removed.

I never installed the game by my self and I don't want to have shootmania on my computer. How can I remove the game without necessity of locating the files on the hard drive? And stop installing other titles on my computer!

Did you once select to have optional updates in your player profile?

Strange, ShootMania doesn't install by itself.
Perhaps it is only advertisement, and the stations are there but not really effective, it would download the open beta files only if you start those stations.

However you can use the [+] button at the bottom of the screen, then the [edit] button,
then select the stations you want do reorder and resize (use mouse scroll wheel),
and move the new stations all to the right.
Then click again on the [edit] button, then on the [+] button to hide this menu again.

TMarc, thanks for help, that was the first thing I did. Stations itself are not activated, but I don't want event to see them and the game says they cannot be unloaded...

Also, is the game going to freaking bother me every time with shootmania discount banner? Is there any way to thell the installation I am not interested in shootmania?

This might be a "feature" of the open beta.
Just resize them to smallest possible size and ignore them for the time being.
Possibly they will be removable later after the release.

TMarc, are you from the dev team/nadeo? Unfortunately, the banner just cannot be ignored :(

No I'm not working for Nadeo, I'm doing this when I have enough free time ;)
The devs and CMs are reading as well, but they usually have official working time.
The "Buy ShootMania" banner on the left side is relatively small. Consider it as advertisement.
Or do you have such a big banner? Perhaps post a screenshot of what you don't like here? :|

You can see a banner before being in maniaplanet however ShootMania must not be installed if you only bought TM² Canyon. Did you install TM² Canyon with Steam? Could you please provide me with your TM² Canyon login?
