Looks like there's already a OcUK club! Hopefully you guys will be migrating over to tm2020

Nadeo and Ubisoft are deranged.

I love Trackmania but as years go by, it is clear the original creators are in no fit state to be the custodians of the game moving forward.

"Lets release on uPlay AND Epic store EXCLUSIVELY" said NO respectable developer/publisher, EVER.

Novelty wore off for me - though some of those new track shapes do look interesting.

I used to host a load of servers for Nations Forever with a fancy custom map upload system, etc.

£50 if I want to play it 400 days from now? They can get lost lol

Owing to the devs silence on dedicated server support thus far, my money is on them ditching dedicated server support. Literally no info on dedicated servers this close to launch is iffy.

If they do drop them, grab the popcorn

Regarding dedicated servers, that is as clear as mud.

"yeah, there is something but we also have our own thing"

Seems to be some kind of idealistic talk of a potential solution if/when the game is "sunset" to fall over to community dedicated servers - in reality that never happens :s

I’ve got all the Trackmania games and love them, but subscription and no Steam...Nope!
I’ll probably look elsewhere and play the solo tracks without the subscription and crappy Uplay/Epic offerings

Gimpymoo · 2 Jul 2020 at 00:32

I didn't know they were adding those, it was quite a shock and will take some learning

Completely agree. Ontop of that, I still find TMUF to be a great game.

Anybody playing this then? I grabbed it on Uplay as I saw a few gameplay vids and thought it looked fun - and it is

Don't really like their subscription model but will see how long the free access holds my interest - if I get as much out of it as I would have an £8 or £25 game I might consider paying something. Haven't really noticed any advertising at all so far
