Vista - TrackMania Nations

Usually starforce games don't work in Vista, but I found an official
StarForce driver to solve this problem

the driver installs perfectly however, TrackMania Nations fails to launch...

Might require an update of the GAME as well as the driver.

Email them and ask them to use something that is more compatible
than starforce, or nothing at all so more people will buy the
game.

I don't get why the game has a copy protection at all since it is available as a free download from their site. With the other TrackMania titles I understand it but not with TrackMania Nations.

Thanks btw for the new driver link. I just had to boot into my linux livecd to remove the driver TrackMania Nations installed which blocked my windows from booting.

Hi,

Even if you are using an administrator account, you have to right click on
the Trackmania Nation Shortcut and launch it with the Administrator option.

I tried it and that's now working

You have also to dowload the last star-force update here :

Have fun
