Hi,
I have following problem:
I joust bought Trackmania² Stadium over Steam.
I already had bought Trackmania² Canyon and Shootmania Storm regularly over maniaplanet.com.

After I downloaded and Installed Trackmania² Stadium over Steam and started it I got automatically logged in into my Existing maniaplanet account and Trackmania² worked fine.
But now to my If i start maniaplanet (Trackmania² Stadium) over Steam i see all my titlepacks, but whenever I try to open an other title pack as Trackmania² Stadium following error appears:
Maniaplanet has to be restarted to load the Title pack

When i click restart the game just closes and nothing happens.
Edit: At steam the shop for the given titlepack gets opened - which is pretty strange because ingame I'm logged in into my maniaplanet account where already bought the titlepack

A second pretty small problem, I dont got the 5000 unlike promoted at the steam sale, this isnt really a big problem but just should be fixed^^

If you use steam, you need to add all your titles on steam to have the transition between titles.

Thanks for the quick response, how can I add my other maniaplanet games to Steam?
If i Click Activate a product at Steam and then enter the Key which i got after buying Shootmania Storm I get an error that the key is invalid

Edit:
Sorry for that, I can use the CD key which i got after buying shootmania - I accidently entered the key which i got to access the open beta.

Now I can download the other titles over Steam and then it should work fine =)
Thanks for you help

I have installed all 3 games in steam, but I still get the the "ManiaPlanet need to be restarted to load this title." message.

I'm gonna keep using my old installation until I can resolve this issue (or is that maybe the problem? do i have to uninstall my old installation?)

It's not a problem, it's the operation with Steam. Each environment is in a separate folder.

What do you mean? I did notice that they are in different folders (like completely different games), but then what do you mean by:

So we can have the transition between titles?

Example : you launch ShootMania Storm on Steam. You try to load a TrackMania Stadium title, the game will restart the ManiaPlanet version of TrackMania Stadium.

The first load : SteamApps/common/ManiaPlanet_SMStorm/ManiaPlanet.exe, after restart : SteamApps/common/ManiaPlanet_TMStadium/ManiaPlanet.exe.

ok, well that sux.. ill keep it non-steam then
