The TrackMania Mac hub with Nations Forever selected, showing the Install button and a setup checklist

Four checkpoints from download to racing.

  1. Download

    Get TrackMania-Mac.app.zip from the latest release, unzip it and drag TrackMania Mac into Applications.

  2. Open

    If macOS says it can't verify the app, go to System Settings > Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway. Once is enough.

  3. Install

    Pick a game; Nations Forever is the supported one. Click Install or repair and choose Download prebuilt. It takes a few minutes. Other games ask for what they need, such as a retail installer or a Steam folder.

  4. Play

    When the checklist is all green, click Play. The game also appears in Applications under its own name, such as TrackMania Nations Forever.

The first launch takes a moment, and the game window may open behind others. On Nations and United Forever, click OK on the game's "Network check" dialog.

Everything set up for you.

The hub checks each piece before you play, the same list you see in the app.

  • One-click install

    The hub gets the game, a patched Wine runtime and DirectX, adds the Competition Patch for Nations and United Forever, then checks every piece.

  • Real Mac apps

    Each game you install gets an app to play and a Settings app for graphics and audio, such as TrackMania Nations Forever and TrackMania Settings.

  • Competition Patch included

    Nations and United Forever start with TMLoader, Competition Patch and CoreMod, so online play works the way the community plays today.

  • Exact physics

    An x87 translator keeps the Forever games' 24-bit floating-point math intact under Rosetta, so runs behave like they do on Windows.

  • Fast graphics

    D9VK and MoltenVK turn Direct3D 9 into Metal, with a shader cache that carries over between launches.

  • Your saves stay safe

    Saves, replays and settings live in their own folder. Uninstalling a game keeps them.

Questions and answers.

Which Macs does it work on?

Any Mac with Apple Silicon (M1 or later) running macOS 14 Sonoma or later. Intel Macs are not supported. Rosetta 2 is required, and the installer adds it if it's missing. macOS 15.4 or later is recommended: on older versions the x87sidecar accelerator can't hook Rosetta, so the game runs on stock Rosetta and is slower.

Is it free?

Yes. The hub is free and open source. Nations Forever is free; the other games need your own copy. Nothing here is paid.

Do I need Windows or developer tools?

No. The hub carries everything it needs and runs the Windows game through a patched build of Wine.

macOS won't open the app.

Open System Settings > Privacy & Security, scroll down and click Open Anyway next to TrackMania Mac. You only have to do this once.

I clicked Play but no window appears.

The first start takes a while, and the window can open behind others. Check Mission Control or click the game in the Dock.

How do I change resolution or graphics?

Close the game, open TrackMania Settings (in Applications or from the hub), make your changes, save and close it, then play again.

Where are my saves and replays?

For Nations Forever, in ~/Library/TrackManiaMacOS/saves/tmnf/TmForever; other games keep theirs in saves/<id> in the same folder. Finder hides your Library folder, so choose Go > Go to Folder and paste the path. They are kept when you uninstall the game.

How do I uninstall?

In the hub, select the game, click the ⋯ button and choose Uninstall. Your saves, downloaded installers and the runtime stay.

Something went wrong. Where do I get help?

In the hub, click ⋯ > Create diagnostics report, then open an issue and attach the zip. ⋯ > Open Logs Folder shows where it is saved.

Is this official?

No. It's an independent community project, not affiliated with Nadeo or Ubisoft. Games and DirectX are downloaded from their original hosts or supplied by you.

Ready to race?

TrackMania Mac runs on macOS 14 and later on Apple Silicon, and fastest on macOS 15.4 or later.
