Release Notes
- Replays are not compatible with the previous versions

Tried to use my key I have had for years and have 2 keys in all but none work says invalid key?
DD
PS: Do I have to change to steam as I hate steam it overtakes my games?
You have to Convert the Key to a steam key, https://stats.gp-bikes.com/steam.php
But the standalone still works and is being updated as far as I can see
problem is steam wont take any of my keys and I have payed for more than one so none work
thanks for saying but piboso screwed up on this release as he or she aint put out no info how to do it right and l am a fricked happy bunny dude
THIS change is going to screw my business because I CANT show people what l have in the past.............ITS FOOKED me!!!
Steam only good for sales but shit for the sim
I wont back down on this been here 12 years and aint frickin happy
DD

https://stats.gp-bikes.com/steam.php

Thanks for the Beta 20
@doubledragon : make sur you put th right e-mail (the paypal email you use to pay gpbikes) in the steam cconvertion page. Igot the same problem, i didn't remember the paypal mail i used so it say invalid key ! once i put the correct email ! it work instantly !
Yes right email and key but no joy still???
DD
Congratzs on the steam release! Beta20 seems nice cheers
I really love to see GPBikes on Steam and having this level of physics, optimization and little helps for beginners.
But it's still unbelieble that the M2 stock bike can be that unreal.
Can anyone explain me why just braking in 3rd gear the rear tyre slides like a hell? Even with a long gear like 4th it slides just braking without downshifting! It's just nosense, not a the level of the game and should be fixed becuase its the first impression new players will have and its just obviusly unreal.
Still cant get either of my keys to work as keeps saying invalid key to both and yes using the right email address for both???
DD
Somewhere I saw a comment that you have to remove the dashes in the key, worth a try though not tried to convert myself
Thanks H will give it a try
DD
Removing dashes did not work and now really pissed off as no help from Piboso on this
DD
You are doing something wrong DD, everyone is converting key to Steam with no problem.
1) Go to this link and put the email of the Paypal you used to buy the game and the gpbikes key, then click Submit.
https://stats.gp-bikes.com/steam.php
2) When u click submit you get a NEW KEY, you need that key to activate the game on Steam.
3) Open Steam, go to Products -> Activate Steam Product and put the NEW KEY and press Submit.
4) Download the game on Steam, you will have to copy your mods to the new directory C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\GP Bikes
Hope you can convert it, you did a lot of work for this game during a lot of years!!

couldnt agree more. The stock M2 machine is way unrealistic, but its not even particularly believable - this video case in point.
This bike has about 20-30bhp more than the standard Honda bikes, it has a power curve completely different from a CBR (what the engine is based off) and now with the update the chassis is way too soft.
I dont know how this gets overlooked time and time again, it took me 1/2 an hour to find accurate power maps, dimensions and weight for a kalex on google, and every single beta a change gets requested. Its the entire reason why Ive been 'rebuilding' it as a mod.
Maybe Piboso can use your input to make the M2 more realistic? ;)
Agree

If you find reviews of youtubers testing the demo major part of then dont talk very well about the game because the base bike is just bad and they dont know mods are better.
Is not that hard to take the physics of some good mod and put it into that M2 so newcomers and reviwers who just play the stock content can enjoy since minute one and talk good about the game. We cant imagine how much people this game lost because of that bike.
I think this is a serious problem indeed. Some players can still be impressed by the gpb's physics and decides to buy the game nonetheless. Others may think the problem is the physics engine.
I think PiBoSo should really be doing a rework of the M2 data and correct the most basic things too like engine. I hope this is taken into account for real and will be solved for the next update.

You seem to forget that Piboso has to abide by the laws of copyrights and intellectual property rights..... Piboso cannot just simply break those laws and get away with it like many modders do here, it would involve all sorts of complications in law for piboso to simply copy over a modded bikes data into the default stock bike for the demo.... Complications Piboso no doubt can do without. ;)
No physics are even in the gray zone though. 3d files, sure. But the config files are all clean right?

We are talking about the physics of the M2 are not real, nobody cares about copyrighted models, dont know what u talking about ¿?
Just talk with some good modders as VSM, Javi, Manu.. and take their physics and let beginners enjoy the game since day 1. M2 bike is just not at the level of the game, seems a bit hater but its just the reality and will make people dont like the game. Anyone that just rided a bike IRL know it, its nothing new.

Good artists copy, great artists steal. Pablo Picasso and Steve Jobs later. ;D
When ordinary people defends a multimillion dollar company which can defend itself, something is wrong in the world. Do not get angry just the opinion of a nobody like me ;)

There's no need to copy. PiBoSo can do it alone😉
