[@Xyriol]

not a beginner, but I wished there was a video like this when I started

[@getweirdwes]

xD xyriol is a name I've seen many times in game lol Definitely not a beginner. I echo your sentiment, though.

[@thekidster101]

Sounds like something a beginner would say

[@BenjaminSoutnose]

Just started playing Trackmania a couple days ago and am absolutely loving it, golded all and even authored some campaign tracks. Definitely looking at buying the full game

[@gundabalf]

I just started playing a couple of hours ago and I greened all campaign tracks and even beat the world record on some.

what do u mean buy full game? is there a demo ?

This will help a lot of new console players! Keep up the great content :)

Great video, thanks a lot for making this.

[@nakedmolerat3]

Thank you for making this! I just got trackmania for console and I love it! This will hopefully help me progress faster🙂

[@jaster6724]

I was interested into trying Trackmania for the first time ! Thank you for the video ! Trackmania's community seems so healthy 😭

[@Xmilek62]

Yeah, the Trackmania community is finally getting some recognition. Hopefully, it will stay as non-toxic as it was. People are helping, even if they are playing against each other. A true gem in the current gaming landscape.

[@harischeema2920]

​@@Xmilek62hey where do people post their speedruns nowadays

[@Xmilek62]

​@@harischeema2920 For single tracks, almost everyone uses the in-game system, as everyone's records get sent to the servers anyway. You can also upload your replays to the Trackmania exchange at trackmania.exchange/home just like in the old days, but it isn't that popular for competition now. They have some custom leaderboards, though, so feel free to check them out! If you want to post full campaign runs, we have a small dedicated community on speedrun.com for that: www.speedrun.com/tm Setting up your runs there takes much more steps like recording your runs manually, but it's doable if you want it. I hope this helps!

[@ZyX111]

I literally started playing this game couple of weeks ago and im kinda decent at it already

[@brammutje15]

I didn't even know this game was free!? Gonna pick it up tomorrow

[@danilostahl8178]

so um at 6:00 u talk about royal and ranked being free but whenever I try to enter either one it asks how I want to do the payment of ten dollars did they change it or is a ps4 thing

[@Xmilek62]

Royal and ranked should be free for everyone, according to the official website. Since you are talking about PS4, do you have the PS Plus subscription active? This game requires it for multiplayer, which is a shame since it's technically a free game.

[@akyu7152]

my man (thanks for the guide),but why on controller i need to keep my left stick point forward to accellerate it's really annoing can i change that? (sry for bad english)

[@akyu7152]

you don't need to keep the left stick forward,do you? (i'm getting mad,this is so uncomfortable)

[@Xmilek62]

Check your settings to make sure you don't have acceleration (or analogue acceleration) bound to that stick. That shouldn't be happening by default.

[@macmccune21]

Got a Drs appointment coming up for hand/wrist/tendon pain from repetitive motion injury. Hoping this game will be enough to get it to show up on xray this time ;P

[@Forxa1260]

Hey, how do you change the controls on console to use the break buttons for the brakes?

[@Xmilek62]

Settings > Controls > Brake or Brake(Analog) maybe? I haven't played on console for a long time

[@sudsysoapy]

I'm ngl, I got used to using the analog trigger as my accelerate button. I remapped the trigger to non-analog accelerate, but does that still mean I'm gonna be going slower than if I mapped it to a different button?

[@Xmilek62]

Yes, if I understand correctly and you are talking about the difference between the Accelerate and Analogue Accelerate settings, which should work the same, by inputting the acceleration at 50% of your trigger press. This means that both of them are slower than the faceplate buttons or bumpers. The only way to make triggers faster would be to use external software to remap triggers to a different button and change the press percentage required for an input. I tested it once for one of the older Trackmania titles, which didn't recognise my controller, and it worked okay. Having said all of that, I think that it's okay to use triggers, and unless you are in the top 0.01% of the playerbase, you won't have that much disadvantage.

[@sudsysoapy]

@@Xmilek62 Okay, thanks. Yeah I play the game fairly casually so I think I will stick with these controls 👍

[@PronteCo]

bro keep vibration on! it is super useful feedback for how good a landing is (and sometime also for when you lose grip)

[@Xmilek62]

I always thought that they were always used just for immersion. I still don't find them useful, but you may be right about their value.

[@PronteCo]

@@Xmilek62 of course also immersion, And immersion helps with concentration :) also makes the game more fun

[@thimoprudlik4082]

Qhat does error yeptree 27 means ? I got it since yesterday i bought club access went to bed and then got error i didnt even play 1 race yet ?

[@Xmilek62]

Does the error say anything about you being banned? That's what the community says it could be. If yes, then either go to help.ubisoft.com/ for customer support (bans are usually short, no longer than a week). Or if not, report the error on the Ubisoft forums: discord.gg/ubisoftofficial (they are on Discord now for some reason). If you have problems like this in the future, try the #community-support channel on Trackmania Discord: discord.gg/trackmania They are much more knowledgeable about stuff like this.

can you make a video of the royal maps? I don't see almost any royal videos and it's really fun to play the championships..

[@michaelschneider1365]

what are the track passes for some are like 60 dollars on playstation. can you download created car skins. I want some f1 stuff.

[@Xmilek62]

Club access for a year costs around $30 per year and grants access to everything the game offers. It is also the only way to acquire custom skins. With it, you can use all the skins uploaded by PC users. I'm not an F1 specialist, but from a quick search, I found Alpine, Ferrari, and Mclaren skins. Full list of club features: www.trackmania.com/access

how can i play a07 race on that new update??

[@Emperor-nl4xv]

I just downloaded trackmania

[@dinky_minky]

you use a 1060 6gb too thats pretty cool

[@Xmilek62]

Yeah, it works very nicely in Trackmania (even at 1440p), but it's starting to get old and works okay at minimal graphics settings in newer games like Apex or Warzone. So yeah, it's a very good card for its time (and still very usable right now).

Yes!

[@KillerMotivation985]

I can't seem to find the option for motion blur? could you help me pls

[@Xmilek62]

Did you checked the "Customise advanced video settings" option at the bottom of video settings? I've just noticed that you need to click it to see most of the settings, which may fix your issue.

[@KillerMotivation985]

@@Xmilek62 Ok thanks so much now i did find it but, do you know how to fix the road being weird. With everyone i see playing trackmania the road is just road and with me it's like some kind of circuit texture. I'm struggling to find anything that makes it normal but i can't find anything. Thanks for the help already.

[@Xmilek62]

Does that happen only on certain maps? If that's the case, go to settings > system > and disable custom track textures. (I'm not sure if it will work on already downloaded maps or not, but it's worth a try.) If this happens on every track, then I can only guess that it's a bug from using an AMD graphics card.

[@KillerMotivation985]

@@Xmilek62 thanks for the help but it's a glitch with amd graphics i think. It doesn't fix when i disable custom track textures

I'm not sure about the console, but for the PC, you should be good to go. A few techniques are undoable (neo-slides), but switching to a keyboard on these rare occasions should still make you competitive. Check out GranaDy if you want to see a pro wheel player in action - www.youtube.com/@GranaDy

Just a correction: you can play arcade with a free account, but only on the seasonal campaign server and another one that changes every hour. I greatly advise newcomers to play on the arcade campaign server, because spectating other more experienced players is very useful

[@Xmilek62]

Yeah, that's true. I forgot about them since the release of Royale and Ranked really pushed Arcade servers out of my mind. And yeah, they are pretty good servers; I played them a bit a few days ago for some footage for one of the upcoming videos, and some maps were really great!
