No Problems. Exams are more important than games. All the best in exam.

[Kiran.dks]

Are there no more players of this game?

256RAM and GMA900 is bit on lesser side for this game. But still it can run on reduced graphics like background details, shadows, F1 Car details, and smoke effect. Give a try once more.
One update...
The version which Digit gave sometime back is no longer supported for online play. An update has been released of size around 17MB. Download it and update the game on your PC.

GF is secondry to my computer . I sold it coz i was getting a good deal , I have got a new dual core system , will be hopefully getting a 8 series low card as soon as i am able to save sufficient money for it.

btw , my mobo has got 6100 onboard , i dont think it will be sufficient for tm. I am little bit spoiled, i cant play games on horrible settings .

How about we all join at 12noon on sunday

[s18000rpm]

Kiran dude, i tried the online mode, you know what i experienced- the Worst Slide Show

one moment i was at start line, the next i was already hittin the 1st Corner (the inbetween scene was missin lool), by the time i reached 4th corner, the race finished lool

maybe its coz of high ping rate

Hahaa . That was funny.

I had a terrible experience when it come to online. I brought Unreal Tournament 2003 and when i started to play it online and my fun lasted on 3 min and my connection was closed due to lag and naturally ping times. That was the last time i played online game.

lol! I am able to comfortably play online. Sometimes I end up with "Match Interrupted..". Did you configure firewall settings for Trackmania Nations? If not, do it and try again...

[s18000rpm]

ya Trackmania has all permissions to access net

i guess its the "Ping" thing.

seems like uve picked this one up recently , anyway i was an avid trackmania nations player for about 1 1/2 months, i played it last year in june -july and i managed to climb to all india rank 5 at the end but i quit the game because college had started and i culd'nt devote any more time. i played with the nick [HR]PappU, HR is the clan - hellracers. playing on german servers was damn great fun, me and some of my clan members - superdoc, smokey,quad were damn good guys to hang out with online, we used to ftw play for like 10 hours a day sometimes lol, i still remember we used to play on this german server jamlan.de arfanger something cause it was heavily crowded with good players so if u wanted to move up the ladder u culd do that easily by managing to beat them and getting hefty points , now none of those players ive mentioned play anymore, theres also this guy JAY i used to play with who used to host his own server , when i left playing he was rank 1 in india and under 1000 in the world , anyway it was quite a bit of rush playing against so many players , my favorite servers were from netherland but for points german servers were the best, im waitng for trackmania united , next in the trackmania franchise , i have no clue its been released or what , i think when its out the HR clan will be back atleast thats what doc said to me , hes the founder of the clan, bye for now

P.S - ping doesn't create much problems in a game like trackmania s18000rpm, because the clock that records ur time is ur own comp. clock placed at ur end and not the server so no hassles , the only problem it creates is that u start late because of the lag. it must be the track , some graphic intesive tracks with lots of rollers and girders are known to cause problems on low end pcs , stay away from those tracks but its one of the most easy on ur pc games ull ever see, doesnt require much bandwidth either

[s18000rpm]

^^the lag is my problem

today too in some races i had random Lag, & having so many cars at a time is like hell, today a guy with Ferrari F40 mod was racing, we started Off at same time for me it was like i was driving that Ferrari looool, that guy was also follwoing my racing line, but thanks to "LAG" i ran straight into a Pillar lool

i need LOTsa practice in this game

i wud love to race some more Serious Simulation Racing games - thats my turf

btw how do we chat in the game, i didnt read the onscreen help

i read Kiran's msg's but didnt know how to reply lool

btw Kiran dude, you need to change your user ID to Kiran_Track_Mania,

here's some screenies i took

Kiran @ 21st place & me in 29th


Me in 25th & kiran dude in 34th


Kiran 25th & i 26th - just 0.03th of a second behind



Me in 25th, kiran 28th


Me 25th & Kiran 28th


btw Vimal you too try dude, its kinda fun

doesnt this game save more than 10 screentshots???, i had taken 30+ screenies [F10], but found only 10 in Game Folder

^ ur not lagging pal , u are spiking and losing packets it seems, im not sure but when i used to play there were very few times when this used to happen , but most of the servers worked like feather , try other servers , if this is the case on all servers then ur isp must be playing foul i guess, yeh this game is all about practise and giving time ,basically this is a 'track' game , a noob who knows the track very well might beat a very good player who doesn't know it too well , so i guess u shuld stick with the servers u play on for a while so that u get well familiarized with the tracks and can own on them some day , as for ranks in a race make sure u beat players above in the ladder or you wont get any points by beating players below you, i recommend u jamlan- the german server , it hosts all of tmn's native maps so the tracks aren't that bit difficult , afaicr 'c' used to pull down the console , and regarding the game make sure u keep on emptying the cache folder periodically as it'l store all the junk , avatars and crap of players u meet online , later
