No idea what happened.
If it ever occurs again, please download the debug exe with logs, try to repro the problem and send me the detailed log file it will write in the user dir foldeR.

(The latest debug exe is always available from:

I am asking for same thing! We need better Anti Aliasing for this game so it makes game look really awesome, i cannot play trackmania 2 and shootmania anymore because the jaggy lines from FXAA are noticeable everywhere and it ruins experience for me. Hopefully the developers release update that will allow Anti Aliasing 16 sample in high definition trackmania to get rid of those nasty jaggies!

As far as I know, not every game engine allow hassle-free multisampling implementation. This might be the case here. But even if this is true, there are plenty of better alternatives to FXAA. SMAA is far better in my opinion. It usually better eliminates aliasing in motion and produces almost zero amount of blur. It's relatively easy to implement on almost any game engine. And still very light on GPU.
TSSAA and/or TAA also could be an option here.
But current situation with only FXAA for higher shader options is unacceptable, that's for sure.

So do you think there will be an update with SMAA anti aliasing? I have tried using Reshade to force inject SMAA into the game but it didn't really work well for me, for some reason.

We're needing the ability to turn off dynamic daytime on player side. On some configs, dynamic daytime freezes the game, meaning there's a "bomb" every few maps. Really stressful.

I'm glad to see someone is working on fixing bugs but what puzzles me is what is worked on and what keeps getting over looked.

I would really like to see my ladder rank be display correctly again on the score screen.
I would like to see customer advertisements work again.
I would like to see my friends car skins and they see mine so they know it is me passing them.
(what's the point of having a racing team if your car keeps changing?)
And I would REALLY like to have my custom horn back.

Aside from the issues that seem to stem from p2p/downloading not working, what's wrong with the ladder rank? It shows properly on my profile, at least.

only 'bug' with ladder points I have seen so far was,that,when my teammate,who hasn't yet 90k,finally reached 90k ,she has then after reaching the exact 90k, rank 151 and my other teammates had rank 191,also all 90k..maybe 151 is the 'most in front position' for 90k ladderpoints
but after the next day it was ok..(don't know the exactly rank anymore,but it shows what I mean )

for the custom cars,you have to create a locator file,otherwise it really doesn't load..

here I found a good tutorial about locator file ,from Tatsuto

I also agree that the P2P isn't that good anymore than before,with locatorfile normally 1 map and you see the custom car,
without locator 3-4 maps.
But I am pretty sure this is also an aseco /recordtool function,were you can enable/disable custom cars...maybe that's why..

I think that has to do with masterserver caching certain ladder data. Not sure.

Yeah that sounds like a bug
