Hi all, hope you doing well.

I have a problem.
Every auto replay I have in my pc says ??? at the end.
Then when I try to load the replay it try's to download sign's and advertisements which it can't then shut the game down.
Why is this?

Is the server setup wrong or is my pc at fault.
I need help to fix this weather server side or pc side.

If you can help or give advice I would be more than happy.

Thanks for any help forth coming.

Kinda the same problem (excluding the "-???" name of files), second time for me.

Happens irregularly, but sometimes the game finds a certain download which automatically shuts the game off when it's finished. After a restart, the download starts when selecting certain Autoplay replays [might also occur at ordinary replays]. Click cancel, accept, the game crashes. Wait for the download to complete, game crashes.

Right now it's about a skin named "A4 DTM Vitaphone.zip" (11,9MB), which it wants to locate in Skins\Vehicles\CarCommon. The clue is that i had this skin in this subfolder but moved it to a different location, and that might cause the problem.
EDIT: Moving the .zip file back to the previous folder location fixes the problem.

Short ver. of my hypothesis: TrackMania will crash if you launch a replay that contains a car, possibly using a locator and used personally in the said replay, which is missing in a specified subfolder on your hard drive.
The current workaround is to move or download the missing files into the desired folder locations manually.

No logs since there are no new logs created for these crashes.
