How to fix Trackmania Turbo Errors: Crash, Game Doesn’t Start, Controller Issue, Anti-aliasing Issue and more
#1 Crash / CTD / Crash at startup in Trackmania Turbo fix:
If you are one of those whose game is crashing at launch, you need to apply the following fixes to make your game running.
- Players for whom the game is crashing at start must update their video card drivers. We suggest users to do a clean install of the graphic card drivers by downloading from the official website.
- If you have downloaded the Steam version of Trackmania Turbo, we suggest you to verify the integrity of game cache to avoid such problems.
- Laptop users should use the dedicated GPU instead of the integrated one like Intel HD.
#2 Game doesn’t start in Trackmania Turbo fix:
The simple fix to this issue is to just run the game as Administrator. This should solve the problem for most of you guys.
#3 Game controller not working properly in Trackmania Turbo fix:
So we all know how incredible it would be to play Trackmania Turbo with a controller. But sadly for now, those don’t work as expected. There’s no proper fix available to re-map the controls for now, so we need to stick with the keyboard until Ubisoft comes up with a fix.
UPDATE: Okay, so Steamcommunity member, Thundergrunge, has finally come up with a way how you can tweak the car controls. Just follow the steps. You can check it out here.
#4 Auto-accelerate issue in Trackmania Turbo fix:
This is another of those issues that occur due to the controller. What you need to do is play the game using the keyboard for now.
#5 No SMAA or MSAA in Trackmania Turbo fix:
Unfortunately, Ubisoft didn’t provide support for true anti-aliasing support for this game. It only supports FXAA for smoothing the edges. However if you still want to do so, you can force anti-aliasing using the Nvidia Control Panel or AMD Catalyst Control Center.
More fixes are on their way. Stay tuned for more info. Meanwhile, if you are facing a certain issue not listed above, then share it in the comments section. We will try to find a solution for you.
