Maniaplanet 4 - Stadium interface bugs

Hey everyone! Decided to point out all the little bugs i encountered so far playing this update in different mods in stadium.
So i hope all the maniaplanet devs could hear me! :)

1) In every local play pressing menu button while in interface off mode freezes your game unlil you press escape (in mp3 menu was still accessible from no interface mode)
2) In stadium solo having gas button on triangle button on dualshock 4 controller skips through almost all the menus in solo after you finish, so you can miss saving the replay easily... Still didn't figure out if i can change the menu navigation layout, but still that needs to be fixed anyway.
3) In map validation in map editor mode there's no interface at all (everybody knows that, just for the list)
4) In ESL titlepack local play after finishing a time and pressing "improve" button interface disappears completely and connot be restored until you exit the map.
5)Retiring immediately after finishing in multiplayer doesn't work properly on some servers, or maybe even at all :D
On servers with big amount of players (70) retiring happens from 1 to 3 seconds late when timer is already running (like ZrT servers), hope this huge lag goes away with Ubisoft servers fully operational status will be restored.
5) An old mesh bug in tm stadium still made it's way to the mp4 - the one that is embedded in a transition block that is shown in this post i've made: http://imgur.com/a/8rwC3 . This block's clipping texture purpose is known but it's collision mesh's purpose isn't, so maybe you can find a way to fix this i hope :)
6) Just pls make a road block booster texture less shinier, or maybe change it's style back to original? I know it affects big number of blocks, but i just have a feeling that even with this design you had chosen, booster texture could look so much better, this minimalism just doesn't look right to me :)
7) And i can't help to be blinded by the high contrasts of dark and light areas in the night mode, together with all the abnormally bright glowing road textures, and i don't know what to change to make it better really... Maybe getting mp3 night mode settings back could help? Or making all the lights in a night mode a bit dimmer?
8) In offline mods my FPS IS a bit decreased actually, even tho i'm using DirectX 11 supported Nvidia GeForce Gt 740M, so i had to roll my setting back to the worst possible (still looks good with trilinnear texture filtering and 2x antialiasing applied to it). Even tho i figured out how to increase my laptop's performance (up to 150 fps on lowest settings), i still can't play on any other settings without having significant framedrops, even i have 40-50 fps (28 fps in heavy shadows) on medium or mid-low settings.
9) Green rammsteins..... That's gonna be our next huge discussion among stadium players... xD
I personally like them more as they were before, gray, with a black line... If i would be able to have this back, i'd be a happy man! But green is not so bad really... It's just the idea that you force people to have it... Maybe make it optional for everyone? Maybe somebody likes it pink? :D

So yeah, add some to the list if i haven't discovered something yet! And i truly believe that Hylis team can do almost everything now after i've seen what they did to the bugs in game physics!!! Oh my god... Im so happy it is still in beta now and a lot more can be done to it and so i hope you can fix these little new bugs and issues aswell! ^^ Keep up the good work, Nadeo. And big thankyou's to the community that still keeps this game alive, creating new stuff: new tournaments, new blocks, new codings, and helping nadeo with some of the ideas! Hope this game will last forever! :D

Greetings from Neuro, Russia :D

Hi, I have a big problem since the new Maniaplanet version (4.0) when I launch my TM² Stadium, there is no uptates, and when I click on "connect" the game says :"wrong login or wrong password" and then, when I continue, the game says me "no internet" and when I click on "play offline" the game says me :"TMStadium" can't be found" I tried to uninstall the game but same problems... :(

More improvements to MP4 <3!!

Some more to fix:
1) Car crashes now create sparks, i get it, but what about grass, "inflated" trees, castles, zeppelins, and inflated square rounded platform sides? Are they gonna still create sparks cus that would make no sence at all :D
2) Sounds of the exhaust after the countdown sounds like a snapped guitar string, and it's hilarious, dunno if you want or not to fix that :D
Also car sound for camera 1 is muffled a lot, sound like 32 kbps quality, not really liking that, other cameras work better with sound in my opinion.
3) Glass texture in ESL titlepack is filled with random dark lines now, tested in different shadow qualities, always the same texture problem
4) Please don't restart full mp4 stadium solo records :P Old records are still relevant, even with bugs they've used i felt no advantage or disadvantage over old replays when playing in solo.
5) Playing against replays in local play doesn't show flames coming out of exhaust pipes of ghosts at their gas button releases, only shows their flames on boosters.
6) There's another stadium block that still creates rammbugs in this game, and it's waaaaaaaaay fixible, Nadeo^^ Please make it not stand out of the whole game perfection and make us proud! :D Look here: http://imgur.com/a/PhMkc

Nothing more to report, sir! Stay cool, devs ^^

Found some other glitches:
1) Glitch of the wallride's and loop's transparent textures - no coloured wide stripe on the bottom and top or on the sides of each one of those blocks if you look from behind http://imgur.com/a/cuCSF
2) Glitch in the map editor menu for the long pole block that get automatically attached to the ground if you go into blockmixing mode using f2 - two selection boxes appear on the bottom left - a bit weird :D http://imgur.com/a/pzICF
3) You can pass right under the grass CP (inbetween center cp pillars) now without losing any speed like in all the versions before
Still finding them! http://imgur.com/a/DsV3F

And i keep finding them, and i keep finding them ^^
