Anyway, there are still plenty of issues unfortunately, many of them which are actually new to the TMT Mediatracker and did not exist previously in MP3.
Starting off with actual replay saving.
- - Replays cannot be saved after finishing anymore. To save your replay, you have to start a new attempt and hit R to save the previous replay. There should be a possibility to save the replay during the outro, just like it used to be in every other TM game before.
- Replays saved online contain the whole race from the beginning of the map, instead of just the previously finished run. This sometimes leads into replays of 5min+, which makes it quite a pain to find the actual part why you saved the replay (WR, cool stunt, etc).
- Not really an issue, but something I'm personally not a fan of: The replays end shortly after crossing the finish line. In previous TM games, replays usually lasted for around 3 seconds after finishing before ending.
- - The skin quality is horrible. Even with graphical settings maxed out, my own personal skin from the garage has super blurry textures. This issue persists even during rendering. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/588 ... 37.48).jpg
- The option to record ghosts inside the Mediatracker is gone. Why is that?

- Changing the car skin has no effect at all. No matter which car skin I choose, it overrides that setting and keeps displaying the personal skin from the garage. Notice the "Arcade01" carskin I chose on the top left corner, yet it shows my own skin (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/588 ... 38.44).jpg)
- The "Yes" button of the prompt menus, such as this one: (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/588 ... 03.51).jpg), is not being highlighted by default anymore, which means you manually have to hit "Yes" every time you are being prompted to do so. Especially annoying when you're attempting to remove many tracks in a row, e.g. different camera paths from an outro. This used to work fine in Maniaplanet 3.
- - The rendering does not start if the folder "Documents/TrackManiaTurbo/ScreenShots" does not exist. You either have to create the folder manually or shoot a screenshot first in order to start the rendering.
- Previously used render settings seem not to save after a game restart. It always reverts to the standard, low quality Webm settings.
- The video file is not automatically being named after the name of the replay file+"Video", but only "Video". Why is that?
- Graphical bugs, such as pixelated water when looking at it from a certain angle. That is especially noticable in Lagoon.
- Flickering clouds while rendering
- (mentioned above) low quality car skins
- Urgent: Graphical artifacts while rendering. It seems like badly calculated reflections are the cause for it. Often, you see pink/green flashes appearing on certain textures/around the car. This happens at every graphical setting, there's apparently no way to find a workaround for it.

I figure that the MediaTracker is not top priority for the development right now, but these things (especially the artifacts) need to be looked at, especially when looking at future updates for Maniaplanet.
Thanks
