as far as i remember, piboso said on the old forum that the final version of gp bikes will be available for linux and mac too.

Ohoh wonderful

Thanks again for the feedback guys, appreciate it.

The bNormalization crashes are something known and they won't go away, no matter what you do.


For the others, they seem to vary a lot from user to user.

At first, i thought _i_ was guilty, by trying to run weird/unstable/complicated settings/mods, but it looks rain-related, as confirmed by another rider here.

I can live without rainy conditions i'll just wear the summer leather suit

Anyway, there's intense work ongoing to solve them just right now (guess you've seen that: http://forum.piboso.com/index.php?topic=2765.msg65488#msg65488)

Oh ... thanks ... i actually missed that one


Thanks again, player community looks good here, thanks for the help.

The bnormalization error, for example, happens nearly all the time on the Monza V3.0_NDS track, when under rain conditions, 5 or 10 meters before the pit out line.

Rainy conditions are known to cause problems with beta9, you may wanna avoid that until it is fixed. I seem to get a crash of the game whenever I want to exit pits under rainy conditions too.

Hi,

Yes, i finally disabled the realistic weather feature thinking it may be related ; thanks a lot for confirming it.

Rain looks gorgeous, but i can live without it for now : i still have plenty of tracks & bikes to learn

Thanks again.

[impressive]

Hi there,

I bought the game a few days ago, and immediately got quite impressed with the bike handling (of course), but _also_ the impressive single-screen performance i got from the game.

I run gp bikes on a core i7 2600k with 16GB ram, on an "old" mechanical sata drive, with a radeon hd 7870.

Being that impressed with the single screen performance, i just tried gp bikes on a multiplayer session (@monza, road / moto 2 / stk1000), while running 5520 x 1050 on a triple screen setup, using amd eyefinity, and ...... wow ... just wow ... no stutter at all, no fps loss, perfect field of view spread over those 3 monitors.

That is after spending quite a few moments tuning the various .ini files, according to your Documentation threads, and the various posts i could find, so visuals are pretty maxed out.

Hat down, piboso [and/or whole team, if that applies]

@forum readers : sorry if that's already a known fact, but ... users/customers rarely congratulates developers for their hard work, i think in gp bikes' case it's well deserved, great job you've done there, please don't stop

I strongly suggest an over install and if it dont work a fresh install

Try that first even re download the installer just in case

Hi, thanks for your answer,

i did a another full fresh install before posting here, i also added the [core] section (replay = 450) in my gpbikes.ini file.

I also encountered multiple players who also ctd multiple times within the course of a 20 minutes practice session.

To eliminate mods problems, i guess i'll have to do another fresh install, without any mod/paint/plugin and see what happens.

Right now, every time i hit any menu item, or ride under rain conditions, crash may happen (and does) at any time

The bnormalization error, for example, happens nearly all the time on the Monza V3.0_NDS track, when under rain conditions, 5 or 10 meters before the pit out line.

I don't think simulation would work well when running some core_d.exe (with debug symbols) under some debugger, but as a last resort ...



Anyway .. will give another try to a fresh install with no mod tomorrow or so, i'll update this thread if i get better results this way.

[headless linux]

Suggestion : headless linux dedicated server binary

This could benefits everyone, by letting us host bigger servers on the long run (by "bigger", i mean: more slots, with high quality connectivity/latency) [without having to mess around with wine].

Windows "dedicated" servers leads to home DSL/fiber bandwidth and stability issues.

Hi,

i bought gp bikes 2 days ago, and i'm experiencing dozens of random crashes while just trying (testing or online racing) to stack some laps.

Crashes happens while:
- exiting a race
- just driving around track
- another player joins the race
- another player gets close
- browsing menus
- probably some others

So here's my question :

is there a way for us to activate debug logs, core dumps or anything that may help you fix those problems ?

The game is really great, i love the handling and the huge collection of available mods (tracks/bikes/paints), i'd of course want it to "live long and prosper", please let us know if we can help you pinpoint some of those nasty bugs



Here's an example crash error dialog :
assertion "bNormalizationResult" failed in ../../include/ode/odemath.h:326

Happened multiple times to me, when riding in rain conditions, a few hundred meters after pit exit (windows 10, radeon hd 7870).
