High-O rickster, I will give it a go. worth a shot
nope no dice Rick , sadly enough.
I also look back through my mail and look at download link the give for the 'downloader" and the link is no longer valid.
FFS this is starting to really irk me, I paid for the game and can't even download it to reinstall, this sux big time.
makes me wanna head over to the nadeo TM forum and see what i can do to get TMF up and running again
second edit: was going through my email for trackmania, maniaplanet related stuffs and came across the free 3 day pass email from maniaplanet. so at current I entered the code given to d/l the game. 2 files one ManiaPlanetCanyon_setup.exe just over 1 MB and ManiaPlanetCanyon_Setup-1.bin at 1.1GB, this surely should allow me to install the game as I wish on my E drive, using the game purchase code I originally got (vice the 3 day key) and all should be good. we shall see, in a few hours time.
my only summation has to be that there has good to be maniaplanet related files somewhere else besides the 3 main folder locations. .... or perhaps a registry file? seems rather wacky to this ol' boy.
btw when the hell is a new enviro coming out for this? every time I have asked, it gets farther and farther away. first it was by xmas 2011, then march and last I heard was July, a whole year later after canyon. although I enjoy playing canyon enviro, I personally feel disappointed going from the 7 enviro of TMF to one enviro for a whole year, and the small number of players online at any given time seem to echo my disappointment..
I can only imagine the hoops I would have to jump through to get TMF reinstalled without paying for the game again, which I will NOT be doing under any circumstance. but I almost be willing to bet money that TMF or united as u may call it, has just as many players as TM2 canyon has, actually playing the game.
hopefully RICK I'll be seeing you on track shortly , fingers crossed.
