Graphics Changed

Hi,

I was playing TMNF for quite a while, then decided to get United. However, when I set it up, both TMNF and TMUF had their graphic quality change. I realise this is probably an unnexpected question, but how do I revert to the lower quality textures/models?

I don't think you can. I think you're referring to the texture bug that a lot of people had. The Steam version just got updated to a newer version that's been floating around for some time now, and it prevents the texture bug.

Are the more detailed textures impacting your performance at all?

Hey! Thank you for getting in touch and sorry to hear that you are experiencing this graphical issue when playing not only in TMNF but also TMUF.

Would you be able to try verifying the files of both games and letting us know if the issue continues?

You can find how to do this here:

Hey!

Thank you for your help on this issue. Do you have an image of the texture bug you are referring too if possible?

Here is an image showing the graphical differences: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pABcTVlU7sgFQTKTnjxK9vZ8vFEZmb2r/view?usp=sharing
The image on the left shows how it was before I got United, and on the right is after.

The more detailed textures aren't affecting my performance much, however it changes the feel of the game by a lot. I like TMNF partially because of the fact that it is lowres.

I verified the files for both games, and one file wasn't correct. When it fixed the file, it still had the high-res graphics.

Also, this is probably not a bug since, as BitUniverse mentioned, the textures seem to have been updated. However, it's not only the textures that changed, but also the models. In the image, you can see that the polygons are relatively visible on the left, but not on the right.

Is there a way I could try to un-update to right before the texture update to see if it fixes the problem?

Thank you for the images, I see what you mean now. Can you let us know what GPU you are using?

Also what resolution are you playing the game at?

Thank you.

Hi the DarkMattrMaestro.

Thanks for posting your game settings and your GPU details here.

Regrettably, as these settings are locked, we have no official workarounds to share on how to revert these graphical updates. Apologies if this was not the answer you were hoping for.

We hope you'll still be able to enjoy playing TrackMania United Forever. If there's anything further we can assist you with, please be in touch.
