I now have Reloaded's patched executable. But I still need to install the game, and won't that automatically install StarForce? Or is there a StarForce-less .iso out there somewhere I need to find?

Starforce installs when you first run the game, not the installer.
Actually, before the game actually runs, it runs the launcher, which will let you update pretty easily. After the update, overwrite the original files.
Assuming you've got the boxed retail version and not that online deal.
I don't have either, but I'll now finally buy the boxed game. Thanks, Tain. I've been interested in these games for years.
No problem.
And just now, I went back and tried some old tracks that I made from the previous three games, and they all work without conversion or anything. TM Exchange hosts all of the official tracks from the original games (the tracks in United seem mostly new), so if you're an anal completest you can go back and download all of them. The Trackmania United section of TM Exchange should list all the tracks from the old games, though. =/
The cracked EXE apparently works with the downloaded version, too. I just got into an online game without Starforce.
Thanks for the link :D
I've been playing this too, since the Reload solution came out. But I really dont like the 20ish second races in single player.
Generally speaking, Nadeo tracks get longer as the difficulty rises. The problem is that the majority of the United tracks are too easy when compared to the previous games. I just copied all of the old tracks over from TM1/Sunrise/Nations into my downloaded tracks folder.
But honestly, I'm not sure having nothing but 3 minute tracks is a good thing for this game, what with its focus on perfect laps. One fuckup means an instant restart for anyone trying to set a record.
Also, make sure you're going for golds. Fumbling through for bronze medals doesn't give you the opportunity to appreciate the track design.
I can't find a torrent for just the crack that actually has seeds on it. Someone help a brother out.
Tain's link to MegaGames has it. http://www.megagames.com/cracks/html/c922070_0.htm

That's kinda disappointing. I mean, I wouldn't ask for half the tracks to be as hard as Orbital or anything, but there better be some crazy ones down the line.Quote:
