Able to startup the first time, but never after that
When I first started up the game, it worked completely fine. After I quitted it and tried to start it about 30 minutes later, it was not able to launch, and although steam classified it as "running", as far as I could tell, no process was running. I changed NOTHING between those two play sessions. Other then that, the first launch was fine.

The moon/sun specifically would occasionally flicker in the skybox.
Borderless windowed refuses to expand across the screen, leaving my bottom and top panels exposed and the game at a weird aspect ratio. Exclusive Fullscreen behaves the same upon launch, but fixes itself by tabbing out and back in.
Aside from the mentioned borderless window bug and minor texture flicker in the skybox, everything else is perfect. Ubisoft Connect installs and runs itself with no problems, however does not quit itself upon closing Trackmania, and must be closed manually either by killing the process or quitting it via the System Tray (I think this behaviour is the same as Windows, so no marks against Proton).
Launch options are for OpenPlanet, a plugin system for Trackmania. OpenPlanet also installs and works perfectly fine, albiet a little more involved to set-up as opposed to it's Windows counterpart.

I installed OpenPlanet (plugin manager) with success. See it on OpenPlanet website)
Works fine, even with plugins.
I use a Gulikit NS09 controller. It has a Windows based mode. I had to Disable Steam Input in the properties for it to work.
I have a dual-boot system and created a soft symlink for OpenPlanet to sync my plugins. It didn't sync the config. It might be located elsewhere.
Controller doesn't work. I feel like I can get it working. I just don't know how. Will update when I can.
Given the distro, given good enough hardware it should just be completely usable out of the box. Others might need some modification.
Used for installing Ubisoft Connect.
I only used the lutris script to install ubisoft connect so that I could be able to launch the game.
Say about the game whatever you want, but the compatibility works
Steam installed Ubisoft for me. Still needed an account tho
Install Ubisoft Connect with ProtonTricks, you may need to launch Ubisoft Connect exe from within the file explorer after it is installed first for Trackmania to recognize it!!
Sometimes car shadows will just become squares?
If you have a non-16:9 monitor, the game will sometimes stretch randomly even when set to the correct resolution. Changing to an ingame resolution with a 16:9 ratio can avoid this.
Sometimes the game will not recognize the mouse, you will need to restart.
Some have said the game works ootb, while I had to install Ubisoft Connect with ProtonTricks. So it depends on what happens for you ig
Complains that Ubisoft Connect isn't installed
Installed Ubisoft Connect: protontricks 2225070 apps ubisoftconnect

Sometime when i tab out of the game the keyboard does not work. after restarting the game it works again
I was also able to install OpenPlanet and a lot of plugins with it
No Ubi Connect issues at all.
Game crashes on Arch with Lutris during initial loading screen. Some env can load it but screen freezes every few seconds.
Not playable with lutris, AMD dGPU on Arch
Primarily runs well
Sometimes launches in a window instead of fullscreen, but otherwise no noticable issues running and playing the game.
After closing the game, Steam still thinks the game is running. This is because Steam is detecting the Ubisoft launcher which continues to run until manually closed. Manually closing the Ubisoft launcher makes Steam stop thinking the game is running.
Did not have to do anything. Just play.
Two times controller bailed out. Maybe problem was switching tasks.. dunno. Rare though.
Ran fine 40fps on high/med, but lowered gfx to get highr frames maybe consisrent 60 (or higher) possible (maybe - untested)
Good game and runs well on deck!
Worked flawlessly out of the box, just Install and hit Play
The game launches through the Ubisoft launcher, but when playing through Steam it automatically signed in to my connected account and launched the game with no configuration or tinkering necessary.
gamescope -W 3440 -H 1440 -f -- %command%
Gamescope problems
The game works fine out of the box, but I cannot for the life of me get it to work with Gamescope. The Uplay launcher starts, and once it closes, the game itself closes and I'm returned to the desktop.
Literally not worth playing. Couldn't make it through Cup of the Day. Gonna play on Windows.
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n,b" %command%
installed openplanet via winetricks, then BetterChat plugin via OP
Stutters for 2-3 seconds every 4-5 minutes.
Computer completely froze for about a minute while I was alt+tabbing and doing other things.
Ubisoft Connect didn't install, so I had to use the GrowTopia workaround.
The stuttering will completely ruin runs. The full computer freeze makes it totally unplayable. The UbisoftConnect workaround means I can't recommend this to friends (things need to "just work"). Installing OpenPlanet required a workaround (going through WineTricks, plus modifying launch options), which is not ideal.

Installation of openplanet (https://openplanet.dev/) was a trivial task using protontricks.
Game ran out of the box great, haven't tried installing OpenPlanet yet though. Some minor framerate issues but nothing disruptive.
Very slight stutter, hardly noticable. Marginally worse performance than Windows.

Wouldnt start without the ubisoft launcher, which it refused to start with even when the launcher was installed using Lutris. The fix was to download the free steam game Growtopia which for some reason has a ubisoft launcher script which works for trackmania as well. Works flawessly oherwise, might even be smoother than on windows with the same machine.
Got openplanet working by launching the installer with wine and copying the trackmania game folder to a visible place, install openplanet on the copied folder, and then paste it back to its original position.

DualSense controller disconnected a couple times during gameplay. Possibly after Alt+Tab. Game restart required to resolve.
Good performance, comparable to Windows.
Installed OpenPlanet by adding it as a non-Steam game.
A few hurdles getting going, but as this is my first Linux/Proton game I'm quite happy I could get it going w/o getting too into the weeds.
Only fullscreen worked, borderless fullscreen would crash on loading into a map
Invisible mouse when not in true fullscreen mode
Frequent crashes when not in fullscreen. In fullscreen, freezes occasionally when clicking on second monitor
Ubisoft Connect did not install automatically, and the game would not start initially. Had to install Growtopia (free Ubisoft title) on Steam, which did install Ubisoft Connect, and I could then launch Trackmania
Worked and ran fine out of the box (base game, I have not tried any plugins). Ubisoft Connect appeared to be bundled with the game and did its thing with no intervention required.
Works completely fine without tinkering. Launch options are only required if trying to run with the OpenPlanet plugin loader

For some reason, after a recent update, ubisofts launcher refuses to run on X11, and works only on wayland. runs completely fine on wayland though
Add an issue about Ubisoft connect not installed. Installed it with proton tricks and the game start
Crappy Ubisoft launcher
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n,b" %command%
tinkering required to properly hook openplanet plugin manager
Says something about needing ubisoft connect, running the installer doesn't work.
Real done borked.
Game doesn't work. Installed Ubisoft Connect externally, as it wouldn't launch without it. Steam says "playing" and eventually gives up.
protontricks-launch --appid 2225070 ~/Downloads/UbisoftConnectInstaller.exe
Do not recommend, unfortunately.
Only had to use Lutris to install Ubisoft Connect.
Launched the game through ubisofts' launcher which was installed through Lutris. And made sure it would not install to my Windows drive.
Ran great and I could play singleplayer and online
