Hello all

When I recently bought and downloaded Trackmania, upon starting I always had the "Uplay not connected" message and could only play online, even though I could select Uplay in the little icons on top.

I wanted to share what was the problem in case other people encounter the same problem:

Because this is also my work computer, I had the environment variables http_proxy, https_proxy and no_proxy defined for when I VPN into the work network (I'm not connected when I play). Somehow, Uplay or Trackmania respect these and try to use them. After unsetting these variables, the game started normally.

Have a good evening

Hello giant_zorg, thank you for sharing your experience of using a VPN on your system when trying to access the game. Hopefully this will also help players who experience the 'Uplay not Connected' message when trying to connect online. Thanks again.
