How to fix the compatibility issues with Windows 8/10/11

This guide will help you if you are experiencing the white screen issues, graphical bugs or launching problems with Trackmania Nations Forever / United Forever. These steps solved my problems with the game.

Tutorial

1. Edit the Nadeo.ini -file. This is the default installation path, so your game files might be elsewhere.

C:\Program Files\(x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\TrackMania Nations Forever\Nadeo.ini

2. Find a row with "Distro=XXXXX". Delete contents after "Distro=" and change it to "Distro=MILIN". If this is already correct, you can continue. Save and close the file.

3. Download the update file (It says "United Forever" in it, but don't worry, it works great with TM Nations too). If the link below doesn't open, please copy it to a different browser.

http://files2.trackmaniaforever.com/TmUnitedForever_Update_2010-03-15_Setup.exe

4. Install the patch and point it to your Trackmania Nations Forever folder, for example:

C:\Program Files\(x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\TrackMania Nations Forever

5. That's it! When the installation is finished, the game is ready to play. Depending on what the problem was, the game should work well now.

You could try launching TMsetting then update it using the file
Or you could go to the game direct copy it then add it to the install folder for tm

I downloaded the file and when I open it it says: "Unable to determine the versrion of TmUnitedForever currently installed". I can't find a fix anywhere, and nothing helps. If anyone's got a solution please help.

White Screen FIX Windows 10:

You launch the game and you cant see anything because the menu is white and you only see some collored bars.

I copied game files from the non-steam edition over the steam edition and now it works.
Probably the packed steam edition has some old files that cant be automatically updated.

Download the game from nadeo website -> install it -> copy all files from the root of the installation directory (TmForever.exe, TmForeverLauncher.exe and some system files you dont need the folders) into your steam folder for trackmania. If it prompts to replace files accept it, now uninstall the game youve just downloaded and launch your steam game with the newly copied launcher files. This solved the problem for me on windows 10.
