[TM2] Other/Menu - Maniaplanet doesn't launch valley/canyon

[inflatable]

What is the Bug? Maniaplanet doesn't launch valley/canyon when I double-click on them. It used to (months ago). Now the panels just increase slightly in size (because they're selected) but nothing happens thereafter. Other info:

• I didn't buy from steam
• I've uninstalled and reinstalled
• I'm online
• TM2 Platform will launch okay(!)
• I've disabled firewall and antivirus
• I've tried re-registering the TM2 keys
• I'm admin.

How can I reproduce it? Load Maniaplanet and double-click canyon or valley.

What is my expectation of this bug? I'd like to race!

-Hardware: (irrelevant because TM2 used to work fine for me, but...) Intel i7-2600K, 8GB, nVidia Ge570

-System: (irrelevant because TM2 used to work fine for me, but...) Win 7/64 Home Premium, administrator rights

-Network: (irrelevant because TM2 used to work fine for me, but...) ADSL2+, 4Mbps

-Default browser: (irrelevant because TM2 used to work fine for me, but...) Firefox

-Antivirus and firewall: (irrelevant because TM2 used to work fine for me and I've tried disabling them, but...) Avast! free, Windows

Thanks for any assistance!

When you double-click on TM² Canyon or TM² Valley, then you must see a button "enter title". You have to click on the button to launch the titles. Do you see the button? If not, please provide us with a screenshot of your title after having double-clicked on it.

Thanks for the reply.

I don't see an 'Enter Title' button. I don't see one when I double-click 'Platform' either: it just starts when I double-click, but it may be different.

I also couldn't see how to attach a screen shot here, but I uploaded one to http://catplace.net/tm.jpg.

Try to increase the game windows by pressing ctrl and by scrolling the mouse wheel (click on a game first)

Thanks for the suggestion, Phil. Unfortunately, there was nothing more to see. When I wheeled, the panels changed size but nothing new hove into view. (I normally play in full-screen mode anyway.)

Ha
Because you are supposed to get this when the title is maxed out :

Nope; I definitely don't get a screen like that.

I don't have the solution but in your screenshot, it seems that ManiaPlanet is loading the menu.

Can you try to load the menu by copying these links and paste them in the maniaplanet navigation bar:
http://stations.maniaplanet.com/trackma ... g=TMValley
http://stations.maniaplanet.com/trackma ... =TMStadium
http://stations.maniaplanet.com/trackma ... g=TMCanyon

Normally, it will show the menu

Thanks Miike. I didn't even know there was a navigation bar!

Unfortunately, those links just cause the ManiaPlanet UI to become unresponsive for me. The only way to bring it back is to click on the circling TM icon at bottom right (which I assume means internet access). I've left it for 10 minutes before doing so, in case it was just slow.

[TheBigMiike]

If you let turn the circle logo at the bottom right (which means connection to internet like you said) a few minutes
Have you got an error message ?

Have you tried somes manialinks to see if it's not a bug with the ManiaPlanet browser ?
for example : maniaplanet:///:tetris (or type directly tetris in the navigation bar)

Sorry for the mistakes, i don't speak english very well

EDIT : Can you try these url in the ManiaPlanet navigation bar:
