Hello everyone thank you for checking out our post!
The following information should explain what content you will get with the Starter, Standard and Club versions of the Trackmania game.

Free for players to race solo or multiplayer on quarterly renewed official campaigns (spring, summer, autumn, winter) which will include 25 tracks, allowing players to earn medals and record scores in the regional rankings.
 
Players can also take part in the Arcade mode, Royal mode, and Ranked mode.

Players can also try out various editors in the Create menu such as map editor, garage and skin editor, replay editor and map review, but will be unable to publish your creations.
  

In addition to the free content offered in the Starter Access, Standard Access includes the “Track of the Day” selection (selected from one of the highly-rated player map creations), and full access to the replay, track editors and map review servers.

Additionally, players can participate in daily competitions and keep every “Track of the Day” and previous “Official” campaign tracks, after your standard access has ended.

Standard Access will last for one year.

In addition to all the content from both Starter and Standard Access, Club Access allows players to join their favourite player clubs, to access exclusive content and activities such as club skin downloads and uploads, special campaigns, online club rooms, training tracks, and competitions.

You can also create your very own club to share your creations and organize events.

Players can also participate in the Open Grand League, organized by Ubisoft Nadeo, and try to qualify for the Trackmania Grand League.

One year or three-year access is available.

If I want to upgrade from Standard Access to Club Access before the end of my 1-year period, do I have to pay for a complete access?

If you wish to upgrade your access, you will need to pay for Club Access in full, however, you will be compensated with additional months for your Club Access depending on how many months you had remaining in your Standard Access.

Will I be able to buy official skins or special items in the game?

There are no microtransaction in the game.
To download custom skins and special customization objects for your maps, you need to join a club through the Club Access version of the game.
There are no restrictions on how many skins you can download and what clubs you can join.

Starter Access map creation?

You will have access to the simplified map editor rather than the advanced editor, with both keyboard and gamepad options.
You can save as many tracks as you want.

After my access expires, will I lose everything I have earned?

When your Standard or Club Access expires, you will still be able to keep the official campaign tracks and Tracks of the Day you had access to up until your expiration, to use with the free starter version of the game.

With the new forums now live, now's a good time for me to post this thread.

Based off of past experience and giving support to others, this thread's purpose is to offer common fixes for various errors, crashes and startup problems with TrackMania that can be quite common, and a fair amount of people have faced.

This is by no means an exhaustive list; new errors and fixes may pop up in future.

"Corrupted installation. Please verify files or reinstall the game."

undefined

Although the first immediate obvious fix, as indicated, is to either verify files or reinstall the entire game, there may also be some other causes:

"File infected! This program has been manipulated and maybe it's infected by a Virus or cracked. This file won't work anymore."

undefined

This error message is actually very misleading, and is the result of the game's VMProtect being unable to initialize.

"To improve performance, it is recommended to free up 5.0GB. Currently you only have X_XGbytes (page_file/commited memory)"



This is not strictly an error message, and you are able to still launch the game when you close it. This message appears when your PC currently has less than the recommended commit size available.

"Error at hooking API "LoadStringA". Dumping 32 first bytes:"



This error message is common if for some reason your Visual C++ Redistributables are corrupt, not up to date, or have not been installed.

When joining a server, I appear to stuck in an overview of the map, and cannot do anything.



If your game is stuck in a similar position as the above photo, and pressing Escape does nothing, then bad luck, you got what's known in the community as a "joinbug". This can usually happen if your connection drops while the game is trying to synchronise your client to the server.

Even on high-end hardware, I appear to be suffering from framerate drops and microstuttering.

Unfortunately, TrackMania is not a very well optimized game, and when there's a lot happening on screen at once, even the best rigs will get FPS drops from time to time.

"You are not connected to UPlay" message when the game loads the main menu.



Has your PC recently woken up from standby or hibernate, and you immediately try to launch the game? That's very likely why. For some reason, Ubisoft Connect hates it when a PC wakes up from standby/hibernate.

When opening the pause menu while connected to a server, my game freezes for a period of time.

For some reason, the game likes to apply downloaded skins, texture mods and custom signs and load them in-game whenever the game is in an unfocused state - such as being Alt-Tabbed, the pause menu being opened, and so on. When this happens, the game freezes so it can load in all the downloaded content. However, depending on your PC, this may take from either several seconds to several minutes, and has unfortunately bowled people over, especially when they're playing Cup Of The Day.

My game takes a long time to load/crashes when I try to open the Map Editor.

The Map Editor can sadly be a bit of a RAM hog, especially when you're working on larger maps, especially if you're using OpenPlanet to create maps with bigger-than-normal boundaries, and especially if you're working with a ton of custom items or blocks.

Despite owning Club Access, I cannot access the Club leaderboards for a map/campaign.

When attempting to upload a skin, I receive various errors.

Upon loading in to the main menu, the game will get "stuck" at a Club page or profile page, and pressing Escape to try and back out of it will do nothing as the game will immediately return to the page it was just on.

The solution for this: Make sure that any wheels or joysticks that you may have connected are unplugged before starting the game. Even if you don't think you have anything, it doesn't hurt to double check. I assume the reason for this is because the game is treating such devices as XBox/PS4 controllers, and as such, the analog input from the pedals or a joystick is causing it to repeatedly act as a button press to the game.
