Is there any way of us being told about the changes which will be happening once the full game is released ? As the purchasers of the game have noticed some pretty major faults compared to the original TM Forever. Please don't just treat this as another Topic in a very big forum. We want to know what is happening without having to trawl through many many topics which are impossible to read. Because people have to do things like go to sleep and eat meals etc.

I truly appreciate the smoothness that has been put within the new game. That is such a pleasant aspect and will keep most people firmly fixed into making a purchase of Stadium 2.

But there are things which we would like answers about :

1. The shadow areas in some of the night time environments are too dark and you crash into a wall in a tunnel etc.
It would be okay if i just made changes to my graphic card settings but we use our computers to view photographs and other things.

2. There are barely any skid marks for us to see if we are drifting too much. The Full Speed drift which required the skid marks was a necessary part of people increasing their top times on Full Speed tracks. Will they ever come back ?

3. Is there any chance of having one or more extra cam views ?

Before creating again unnecessary topics, why don't you take the time to browse and to search in the forum?
Since you are new here, I will answer instead of deleting your thread again.

All those questions have been addressed and discussed many times already.

1. TM² Stadium will never be a exact 1:1 copy of TMNF. Please accept that, or stay with TMNF.
Besides this there will be new blocs for TM² Stadium at the release.

2. Stadium was never meant to make such long closed areas. It is a stadium after all, with bright flood lights.
The lightmap engine of TM² is totally different to that in TM/TMN.
Lightmaps of older maps have to be recalculated. And if there is the possibility, lights have to be added to the parts that are now too dark. But instead of sticking to old (outdated) tracks, why not chose other tracks or create new tracks?

3. there will be a fix which will make skid marks darker again.
