I've noticed that sometimes if the intro is quite long, when it ends everyone has already started or if you're lucky it just starts without a 3-2-1. |

yep i also get that too,wasn't sure if it was because of all the downloads today and that if i had not previously played that particular tack before.....if that makes sense...???
but i just adds to the challenge of starting at the back of the grid.......just like real life racing for tyke then... |

Happens the odd time on TMN (Monaco often) but happens about half the time now on TMNF.Very frustrating! |

find if you skip the rolling demo on monoco it will start you at the correct time?
so im guessing demos cant be too long? _________________

Its done it a couple of times for me. The first time the race had already started by the time the track loaded but I ended up having a red timer and an invalid time, and once without an invalid timer.
The game is very buggy for me, hopefully updates will be released soonish |

Maybe we could keep a maximum of 2000 coppers per track instead of 2500.
It happens to me also sometimes. Not on a particulary track, but it's random... and fortunately not too much often... |

ML classic is fine on most tracks, but on the server full of dirt, sheds and wide sections nothing loads in time. Incredibly frustrating. _________________

anyone with Vista could try inserting a memory stick in a spare USB. Go to Computer and allow Windows to use it as a Drive (if it's a fast enough responding unit). Maybe it will cache Trackmania files in use - well I would if i was a transfer bus controller routine. Which i'm not obviously. _________________

are these problems with enforced late-starting due to inadequate hardware, slow connections, long intros or a bit of them all? _________________

I think the late starting is a graphics problem, happened to me tmice when loading really heavy track, happen`s to ginsters all time, by the time 1 time attack track had loaded there was 15 sec`s left on the clock, to me, thats a loading issue, his cpu is overclocked from 1 ghz to 2 ghz and he has a gig of ram, the gfx card is an old fx5500-256mg, i just think it can`t cope with the over heavy colours n shadings, night tracks will be the worst because the game is trying to shade shadow`s on the track, the crashing issue i don`t know about, i think thats a bug, happen`s on a lot of server`s so can`t pinpoint that one. _________________ Never underestimate the power of stupidity. |

me and my friend were on a ta earlier and it just started to load epically slow(the bar inbetween tracks where drinks arent servered ), and continued to haunt us on every server we went too. _________________
