Hi, I'm reporting here a bug that I always had playing this game, once or twice per gameplay, but today is happening every 10min. Some things I noticed and things that happens:

  • The screen goes black for 1-2s:
    • If there's two monitors, the screen of the second monitor also goes black.
  • It also happens with the second monitor off.
  • If there's video on youtube playing on the second monitor, it freezes it, you have to force close the browser to fix it;
  • If you're recording with the feature from Win + G on windows, it stops recording when happens (tried to film it to add here and it happened);
  • If you're in FullScreen mode on the settings, it changes to Windowed Borderless after the bug happens. But you don't need to be in FullScreen for it to happen, it happens again even in Windowed Borderless.


Below I add some screenshots of my system and graphics settings (printed to compare, but nothing changed after it happened) and a video of it.

Hey @Gervaes , thanks so much for reaching out, and for being so thorough with your reporting of this! I understand you are having these unusual black screen pauses that seem to affect your whole system while playing Trackmania, which is most unusual. I'd really like to help with this 🙂

As far as I can see, we've had no other reports of this issue, so I'm confident we can solve this with some local troubleshooting. Can you start with the troubleshooting guide for me? In particular from the guide, please make sure you are running the game with administrator rights, you've verified the game files, you've got your graphics drivers and Windows install fully updated, and you've (at least temporarily, for testing) deactivated all background programs. 

That'll probably solve it, but let me know how you get on. If the issue persists, we can try something more intensive ✨
