He means the videosettings (graphicsettings) ^^ did you enable in the launcher, that you can configure the game by yourself?

Hello alienwaras,

This seems to be a bug of the Trackmania Launcher. For some reason it loads the wrong config files and not the ones it configured itself. I encountered this bug myself a few weeks ago and I found a workaround.

My approach:

• create a link or shortcut to 'ManiaPlanet.exe'
• right click on the link or shortcut -> go to 'Properties' -> 'Link' or 'Shortcut'
• the value of 'Destination' should look like this:

  Code: Select all

  C:\[...]\Maniaplanet.exe

• change it to

  Code: Select all

  C:\[...]\Maniaplanet.exe /userdir= %USERPROFILE%/ManiaPlanet /config=Default.SystemConfig.Gbx /useexedir /StartupTitle=TMStadium

heard you couldn't fix this on steam? Tried this still doesn't work.

[izruo]

Yes, I performed a fallback to the steam-external version.

However, it might be possible with the steam-version though. It's just that you must not start Trackmania from Steam then, but only from a custom created shortcut. (Or from the command shell, which is in fact the same, just more nerdy.)

When I try this I just get a steam installer for TMStorm?
