Issues Fixed

Game does not work properly on Windows 8 and above

Install TrackMania United patched files.[2]
  1. Install game from original DVD. Do not launch the game yet - If you do, you will be asked to install unwanted StarForce libraries on your computer.
  2. Download and install the v0.2.10 No DVD/Fixed Files.
  3. Download the fixed d3d9.dll and place it in your installation folder
  4. Set both TMUnited.exe and TMUnited.exe to run as administrator
  5. Run TMUnited.exe and submit your license key when asked
  6. Launch the game.
Bypasses StarForce driver installation and solves the inability to play the game on modern systems.
