Rig is E8400@4Ghz, 4GB Ram & 4890 (Slight OC)
V.Fast avg 272 fps
Fast avg 124 fps
Nice avg 62 fps
V.Nice avg 38 fps.
Also disabling Motion Blur make no difference in the performance.

Is anyone playing this game still?
I'm still playing lots but it gets boring without having someone I recognise to race

Can't justify the £20 yet. As there is no Stadium Car/Arena. This was the format I preferred and raced in ESL.
Didn't realise there was a thread for it, I bought this game a while ago on my laptop, my friend got a code with something he bought and he gave it to me, i registered it and played it for a while but I have a pc now, does anyone know how i can redownload it? checked my emails but couldn't see anything 
The download links is in the same e-mail as the game key they sent youDidn't realise there was a thread for it, I bought this game a while ago on my laptop, my friend got a code with something he bought and he gave it to me, i registered it and played it for a while but I have a pc now, does anyone know how i can redownload it? checked my emails but couldn't see anything

Just bought the game and really liking it so far. I'm a long time trackmania nations player so getting used to the drifting was tricky at first but getting there. Only trouble I'm having is with my 2 6950's. I get a higher frame rate with crossfire enabled and it is using both gpu's but the game stutters slightly sometimes which is annoying. Playing it with a single card is fine. I've gone in to the setting and put cpu/gpu synchro to immediate which has helped a lot but it still happens sometimes. Trackmania nations runs fine with crossfire.
Anyone else think Nadeo have dropped the ball on this, specifically having a standalone game for each environment.
It makes no sense in the 21st Century to sell a game in this way.
It has also split the online community and also means we cannot have multi environment servers as like with TMUF.
Nadeo were so ignorant/arrogant when launching this, they believed Maniaplanet meant there was no need for Steam or anything else for the game to be successful. Personally, I believe they were greedy and did not want to share the pie. They said before launch that Steam did not match their vision for the game? Everyone else was thinking about the possibilities of Steamworks for matchmaking and Workshop which is far more accessible than anything Maniaplanet can offer. Trackmania and Steamworks seemed a superb fit. Two years later, they decide that Steam does match their vision although the damage had been done as they have already fudged too much of the game around Maniaplanet and are now in an awkward position of trying to support two platforms and to be frank, it is becoming a bit of a mess thanks to their earlier ignorance/arrogance.
Logic states a game like should be sold as follows in the 21st century:
Basic core game sold as F2P model with a MINIMUM amount of content, 1 car, handful of tracks.
Additional environments sold as DLC to feed into the core game.
Surely that would work better than the cluster **** we now have?
It is as though they are now trying to complete a jigsaw without having all the pieces.
The other "problem" is that the core TM2 community are more concerned about their own existence than the game itself. This is a post from the Nadeo TM forums.

I have no problem purchasing environments separately if they are polished enough which to be fair, they have been, I just wish they will pull their thumb out of their *** before it is too late.
I am staying with TMUF for the time being as playing the TM2 Environments is too awkward for those who like to race in multi environments.

Just seen the promotion pack of all 3 worlds for £15.99, http://store.steampowered.com/sub/34409/
Also just realised a little late that a demo has been released for each world in the last week. Anyone know if the demos give a decent representation of the full game?
I'm much more of a "race-simmer" but Trackmania have tended to have nice graphics, it would be handy if TM2 has playable wheel support, rather than forcing me to use keyboard (my very old Saitek P2550? is hidden in a box somewhere).
