TrackMania Spring 2024 Update Brings Track Editor Fixes and UI Additions

TrackMania launches its Spring 2024 update, adding checkpoint counters, track packs, and a dedicated medals spectate tab. The patch also resolves numerous map editor geometry bugs, block alignment issues, and script crashes.

The TrackMania Spring 2024 update is live, bringing a substantial sweep of quality-of-life features, user interface additions, and map editor fixes. The patch introduces a displayable checkpoint counter, premade track packs for local multiplayer, and a dedicated medals tab for viewing ghost runs.

UI and Game Mode Additions

Racing mode features an optional checkpoint counter that can be enabled via settings. Local multiplayer includes new premade track packs, current events display ongoing matches, and TOTD buttons display the day. A new Medals tab in the Records UI allows players to spectate medal ghosts directly, and text chat settings receive a dedicated section.

Map Editor and Block Geometry

Map editors benefit from resolved crashes tied to the RallyRoadDirtHighToLowUpCurve2Right block in air mode and item placement previews on rotated blocks. Geometry errors, inverted item placements on CastleWallDiagStraightX2, and continuous normals across Platform and OpenRoad blocks are fixed. UV offsets, pillar UVs, and missing variants like NoPillarBellow on TechnicsLights are also corrected.

Gameplay and Sound Fixes

Rallycar handling on custom ice surfaces is adjusted, and alternative car engine audio is lowered. Menu navigation issues, club certification badge icons, and text overlaps in skin browsers are resolved. The update fixes script crashes in the Events page and record UI module, alongside stabilizing wood gameplay surfaces in Royal and Simple Editor base maps.

Why this patch matters

This update cleans up block geometry anomalies while adding practical interface additions for competitive and casual racers alike.
