The compulsory update for Stadium fails badly. :shock: First file resets from ~20.6Mb to ~10.5Mb over and over again when it is supposed to reach ~280Mb. Anyone know what's going on? :(

Game version: ManiaPlanet (Current version available via download)
OS: Win7 SP1 (fully up-to-date)
Machine: Toshiba Satellite a505-s6005 w/4Gb RAM

Update: All is well now, at least with Stadium. Thanks to everyone who tried to help. :)

this happens sometimes.
try again later.
also try disabling antivirus. make sure you run ManiaPlanet at least once with Admin rights.

Update: Even with Admin Rights enabled and antivirus disabled, Stadium, Canyon and Valley all reset during the first file at 21Mb, to 10.5Mb in an endless cycle (or until I cancel install). This means the program is not installable for me, and I am badly confused as to why, since one of the previous versions was running properly until this revision messed it up, requiring me to uninstall and retry using the current installer. :( Isn't there an installer that at least includes Stadium? :(

Maybe its wiser to do a full reinstall, its radical but i think its the best way.
First: save your c:\maniaplanet\skins folder on another place so you can replace it after the reinstallation. (if you are using your own skin /avatar)

Deinstall the current maniaplanet in your controlpanel of windows.
Then got to http://player.maniaplanet.com/
Login there with your maniaplanetusername and pass.
Then go to https://player.maniaplanet.com/account/downloads and download there the
Maniaplanetminimal setsup.exe
After downloading, all nescessary updates will follow automatically. After installing Maniaplanet go to the store and install the Trackmania2 title. If you install this first it will automatically install all 3 titles. Then you dont have to swap from title to title during installing. If that doesnt work you can install it also of course title by title.

Dont forget to replace your old skins folder!!

Good luck!
