Anyone found a quick way of disabling the saitek to get it to work. Its annoying to say the least ahving to disable in the device manager.

Great game though and very fun!!!

The link provided at the start isnt a standalone, i goto install it, select my language and a box pops up simply saying TMSunrise was not found on this computer.
and aborts the install, GRRR, so does this mean i need the full game or...?????

EDIT:

am now trying this link - http://download.nvidia.com/downloads_emea/Trackmania_Nations/TmNationsESWC_Setup.exe

seems to be diff file size and the official link for their site

Keyboard still works fine.

I had this problem also(with nearly every starforce protected game), you just disable it in a couple of places in device manager and thats it, you should never have any problems again, you should still be able to use your keyboard, don't disable your keyboard under "keyboards" in device manager, instead go into "human interaface devices" and right click on all the "usb human interface divices that are there, click properties and check the location, if it says "(usb Gaming keyboard Pro) then disable the device, I think there are 2 that you can disable, this will just take the keyboard out of the game controller interface but still function as a normal keyboard.

ahhh sorry, but then you did say

"Have to do it anytime you want to play TM on a new bootup, but its only way to make the game see a usb keyboard"

which is actually incorrect, if done properly you should never have to change anythink again.

Why dont you all just get it from fileplanet, its on the front page and clearly says free game.

just started download, i love fileplanet, getting 1200kb/s

is this the kind of game you set up your wheel for? or is it more arcadey and suitable for keyboards?

ummmm, your right,

I wonder why that happens, not that I ever used it before, is it really that important ?

Is for me because theres no other way to turn my speakers down. Except through the remote and thats a chore. I dont mind having to do it all to play it because its great!

can a don (or duke) please edit the first post, since it's a link to something which isnt the standalone game.

So i wasted time downloading that.

the second link in this thread is correct (more like 200mb in size)

ScarySquirrel · 29 Jan 2006 at 02:55

been playing this for about 2 hours, its awesome, awful car lag for other players though, which is quite distracting, but its really good fun and very challenging at times

Psypher5 · 29 Jan 2006 at 03:37

find a good server theres no lag. I just had a problem on last 2 games of play where everything went crazy colours. I'll see if its the same tomorrow. :/
