[RESOLVED] Trackmania United Forever

[hansolo77]

Ok, way back in 2008, I had purchased a license to this fantasic PC Racing Game. I received an email in which it had the order number, my account name, and license information. I saved all this stuff to a text file, and saved it on my home server. The drives in the server have all died eventually, but not in any way to cause me to lose the information. I still have this file with my information. However, I don't have the original install files. According to the website, you can freely download the "free" version (Trackmania Nations) or buy the "full" version (Trackmania United Forever). There are no download links except for the free version. When I look in their support area, they say there's a link in the original email that connects you to a downloader for the game. I no longer have this email, as I just saved the important stuff (like my licence key). They also say there is a link in the email that takes you to the website for a manual download of the files if you don't want to use the downloader. However, still, I don't have that url. I emailed them and asked for these urls over a week ago, but nobody has replied yet. I fear I'm out $40 bucks because of their inability to host support information on where to re-download their software.

So I'm asking the GX community... Has anybody bought this game and still have their original email that can give me the URLs? Or perhaps just the install files? Thanks in advance if you can!

Sorry, Han - had to move this over to the Social Club since it is not really GameEx related. Anyhow, was this something you had digitally purchased/downloaded from Steam?

Nah, this wasn't available in Steam. I don't know if it is now either, but I'm not about to repay to download it again. But it was a digital purchase. No discs for this.

It's on steam now, however there are other ways to get it.

Side note: this is why i use gmail, I can search and find any email I have received from the last 4-5 years

Yeah I have some saved email in Yahoo's Inbox from that long ago too. I just deleted this one. On a lighter note though, they did finally email me back with the info this morning. I had sent them another request last night after I started this thread. I complained about how they can have such a nice, well polished game yet have the absolute worst support area. I mean, they literally have NOTHING as far as how to get the game if you've lost the install files. It's all done now though, they resent me a copy of the original receipt email that had the links and stuff. I saved this one in a new place, and have saved the install file over on my Home Server for safe keeping.
