Wikipedia says the Steam version of TrackMania United doesnt have StarForce and TrackMania United's starforce wasnt a driver like the eariler TrackMania games but built in the executable to check the key. If its the same as 'Forever' then that doesnt sound that bad.

Well, since StarForce is a CD/DVD-check protection, and Steam does'nt use CD/DVD's... one can only assume they have removed it :p

the game is sooo good for it being free. the only thing that's annoying is that it has this whole ranking system but it doesn't save your single player progress to your account so if you move computers you have to start all over again :(

It does save it to a file called Username.Scores.gbx so next time you move computers you can copy that file across. One of the extra features of TMUF is that you can set official times which saves your best time and ghost to your online account and you can also earn coppers and skillpoints by setting good times.

By the way, how can I find the Author's time for the tracks?

It hides them until you beat the author time or unlock the Nadeo ghosts. I can't remember exactly how you unlock the ghosts but its something to do with earning certain gold medals.

Well i did that and it didnt find you LOL

add me unimatrix_xero

on a sside note i was hosting a 20 man server last night and it was pure mayhem!! i loved it!

Downloading Via Steam. I found it hard to find, but I have found the link for it and it is located here. :)

I just wish that Steam allowed me to insert the CD key of my retail TM United box though (Preorded it ages ago) so I can have the Steam version of that too. I am downloading the patch of TMUF now though.

Is anyone using the Xbox 360 controller for this game? I can set accelerate to the trigger buttons but it seems that it won't let you set brake to a trigger button :/

And there is no cycle camera view button so I can't assign that to the controller either :/

Anyone know of any solutions?

umm i can't remember if i had this problem but anyway to fix that would be to use the XBCD drivers for the 360 controller and set the triggers to seperate axis.

Just get the profile from there, so you don't even have to set it yourself.

    • IBM reveals sub-1nm chip technology, production expected in another 5 years

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      IBM reveals sub-1nm chip technology, production expected in another 5 years by Pradeep Viswanathan TSMC is now leading the chip manufacturing industry with its 2nm-class process node called N2. Samsung Foundry also has a 2nm-class process node called SF2. TSMC says N2 entered volume production in Q4 2025. Samsung says SF2 started mass production in 2025. Today, IBM announced the world’s first sub-1-nanometer chip technology, marking another major semiconductor research milestone. The new technology is based on a 0.7nm, or 7-angstrom, node and uses a new transistor architecture called “nanostack.” The new design vertically stacks and staggers nanosheet-based transistors so that more components can fit into the same chip area while also improving performance and power efficiency. IBM claims that this new sub-1nm chip can pack nearly 100 billion transistors onto a chip the size of a fingernail. This offers almost twice the density, up to 50 percent higher performance, or 70 percent better energy efficiency when compared to IBM's 2nm node design announced back in 2021. Also, IBM mentioned that this new architecture can deliver 40 percent SRAM scaling. It is important to consider that this announcement from IBM is a research milestone rather than a near-term process node launch. Back in 2021, IBM unveiled the world’s first 2nm chip design, claiming 50 billion transistors on a fingernail-sized chip and major performance and efficiency gains. Five years later, IBM’s 2nm technology has still not entered mainstream commercial production. That is because IBM is no longer a major commercial chip manufacturer. It sold its chip manufacturing business to GlobalFoundries years ago and has since then focused only on semiconductor research, IP development, and partnerships. To productize its 2-nm chip technology, IBM partnered with Japan’s Rapidus, but it has not resulted in anything shipping at scale. IBM says that its new sub-1nm technology can reach production as early as within the next five years. If that happens, it will likely depend on manufacturing partners, advanced EUV tooling, and years of yield improvements.

      It's funny when thieves accuse other thieves of stealing. Ai companies just blatantly siphoned all the knowledge of the internet without consent and are now selling it with their service... so excuse me if I find this a bit ironic.
