No more TMII fun?

[Filipuntik]

Hi,

so over the past year or two I've been having a blast with TrackMania 2, mainly due to the fact that as an owner of TM2 Canyon, I was able to access the TrackMania II pack in the menu, which allowed me to play and build all across the three environments available prior to the recent update, even though it informed me that I was playing it on demo.

With the hit of ManiaPlanet 4, I can't access the Title Pack anymore, as it wants me to enter a Stadium Key. So my question is: is there no way for me to access the Title Pack anymore with just the purchase of Canyon? Will purchasing Stadium allow me to access it again, without purchasing Valley? Or am I left to play the other environments on channels and thus probably be blocked from Editors again? Will I ever gain access of my old Stadium and Valley tracks again?

I'd be grateful for some insight on this, thanks (^^ )

As a sidenote, I can't help but mention that it's hard for me to find my way around the Canyon editor now. It all looks like it's the same shade of gray! Even the trees!

As far as I know, you need to have Canyon, Valley, Stadium and Lagoon now too in order to play Trackmania² Title pack. I had Canyon, Valley and Stadium but was unable to Use TM² until I added Lagoon.
- It would be nice if there was a new title pack that allowed whatever combinations a player has purchased to be enviro-mixed and used. While I own (and like) all environments, I can understand that it isn't feasible and maybe not even desired for everyone to own them all. I don't know how much work it would be for the developer to make a new version that allows any combination but I do think it would be a nice thing to have.

As far as your sidenote goes, it kind of sounds like a graphics card issue or configuration issue but I'm not sure. Good luck.

There is a further change: there is no separate demo anymore of the different titles,
everything is now working with channels.
This means that the TM² multitles title is only working if you own all 4 TM² titles.
Besides this, it is not working properly at the moment (it appears to me with the old Maniaplanet design, and the mutiplayer button does not work).
And in the list of titles in the "Store", this title is not there at the moment.

I've noticed that too. I hope TM² remains and doesn't get changed too much. It has been my favorite way to play since I first got it. I like that from within it I can set all the cars for each environment at once or that I can load any track from any environment and go right into it without having to quit and load another title. Or I can race a replay from Canyon then jump right into racing one from Valley without having to go back to the title page. Of course I'm referring to offline things. I actually prefer it's simpler menus too and the ability to select all replays from a folder with one click and race against them. Or the ability to delete a track or replay from within the menus, and of course the ability to use any car in most environments. I could keep going but...
