Recently I have been stuck on the please wait screen for 5 mins each time I load the game up but I tried today and it’s been stuck on please wait for 20 mins and nothing and I’m not sure what to do to solve it

OneDrive can cause several problems with Trackmania installations:

  • If you're using OneDrive to back up your Documents folder, things can break when OneDrive runs out of space - it will typically just stop syncing but it can also throw errors and cause file conflicts.
  • OneDrive occasionally has issues with special characters in file names - this can especially cause problems with map files, causing them to randomly disappear as OneDrive syncs.
  • OneDrive has an option to serve the backed-up files on demand from the cloud and to delete everything locally (to save disk space). This can typically also cause a variety of issues from corrupted file contents to missing data.

In general, it's recommended to not use OneDrive's back-up feature at all - or to at least exclude the Trackmania/Trackmania2020 folder from it.
You can configure those options in the OneDrive settings (under the Settings and the Backup tabs).

I don’t use one drive for anything

and see if that fixes the game taking a while to load

#

if that doesn't help, then rename the entire Trackmania folder in Documents

#

also, not the INSTALL folder, but the folder in your DOCUMENTS folder
