dafuq. o.O i think you'd better post this in the technical support section, since this is most probably not a general bug.

I had this happen once in United when the server I was on was lagging like crazy. My car would speed up and go at insane speeds. But then of course after a minute or so I'd get that dreaded red chat message about incoherent times.

Yes, I would have to say that this has also happened to me more time than I would like to admit. However, it would always be preceded by a period of semi-slomo, and then speed up as if trying to catch back up. And, yes, that dreaded red time always appeared right after.
I think it was predominantly due to my slow internet connection though.

Is this replay at normal speed ? download and watch.

yep, goes normal speed for me...

if you do change volume before the race starts at the intro the game stuck, just tryed it
maybe a fix: becouse in stadium you can change volume while racing.

in canyon the car just brakes when change volume
i just remember one more thing when i clear the cache the notice window is not "topmost" its behind the setup window.

To everyone that see this, read first post and help us update that.

Hello, I'm having the following issue:

When I add an intro Mediatracker to my platform (station "Platform") track, then
1. It doesn't play at the beginning of a validation run, unlike if it was a normal race track (station "Canyon")
2. When I validate the map, exit the editor and enter the map in "Local play", the intro is cut short at around 80% mark (give or take). This has happened to me on several platform tracks, but only on platform tracks.

Could anyone check if the same (cutting the intro short) happens to them?

Track in question:
http://tm.mania-exchange.com/tracks/504 ... latforming (editting password is "sex"). The intro clip contains FX Colors, some text, initial FADE and end FADE, and 1 Camera Custom clip that gets interrupted somewhere in between keys. The intro should last 21 seconds, but is cut around 18 seconds mark.

Further investigation:
1. When the map loading bar appears, the time it takes to load the map depends on whether some map of the same environment was already loaded before, or not -- so sometimes it takes 2-3 seconds, sometimes over 10 seconds (after a clean restart of Maniaplanet). And, the intro seems to be cut short by approximately the time it takes to load, minus some fixed constant.
2. When I used the option "Restart map" after it was already fully loaded, the intro was cut short by only about 0.5 second, but it still WAS cut. This is how it should end and This is where it gets cut in this case
3. My theory is that for whatever reason, the game starts "clocking the intro" once it starts loading the building blocks / creating the level geometry from them. The intro still plays from the beginning (always), but once the internal "clock" gets to the point where the intro should end, it abruptly ends and skips to the start countdown.

Could someone from NADEO have a look at this, please? Probably extremely easy to fix, and it's driving me nuts, because this way, I have no control of what players actually CAN see from the intro.

The default music isnt playing if you disable custom server music from launcher.
