Topics

[The objective of this topic is to get ideas to understand this behaviuour.]

First of all, this topic is not to flame Piboso or the game. The objective of this topic is to get ideas to understand this behaviuour.

This game have a big potential, its the only with real physics, the only one that makes you enjoy riding a game having a close feeling.

But, the question is: having this amazing positive review ratio, why game dont grow? Not only not growing, how can this game go down in numbers?



After 9 months since the release on Steam, numbers are not good as game deserves.



Can we have the number or ratio of refunds of the game?

How can we have 97% positive reviews and game dont growing considering this game have tons and tons of bikes, skins, tracks, etc...

Why new players dont continue playing? Players who plays this since years can play less, but now we should have more players coming than quitting....

I think there is a lot of beginners that buy the game, test the moto2 that is too much hardcore to them and they refund and quit the game. Other reason can be they buy the game but dont find all the content that makes the game special, so they quit.

Why MX Bikes that is hardcore game too had this fantastic growing? What makes the difference between them? Can we learn something from them?



Maybe Piboso can share more data that make us understand why this game is not going as well at it deserves.

Remember, this topic is to be constructive, not to flame.

[SRC HEAVY SERIES]

SRC HEAVY SERIES

We are back! From the second week of January the SRC series will return, after a little more than half a year the championship will return with a big novelty never seen before in a GPBikes championship, a novelty that will make ANY PLAYER CAN WIN, the challenge will be double for everyone...

¿What is the novelty of this championship?

This championship will with the same bike, still debaint wich one.

Fastest riders will have an extra amount of weight depending on the championship standings, now the fastest ones not only fight between them, they will fight versus slower riders too that will have less weight in their bikes! So, its a double challengue for all, yo dont fight versus your usual competitors, you fight now versus slower or fasters than you!

In GPBikes there is the problem that some minor part of riders (~10%) are so much faster than the rest, using this novelty everyone wins, fastest riders wont get bored riding versus 2-3 faster riders like them and the slower riders (90%) can have the chance to make a podium, win a race or just be closest to the fastest ones!

Extra weight system

Depending of the bike, +30kg on the chassis means +2seg slower. First race will be as usual, all same bike with no extra weight, after this first round weight system will be like this:

POS KG BIKE NAME
1    30    Bike name 30KG
2    25    Bike name 25KG
3    20    Bike name 20KG
4    15    Bike name 15KG
5    10    Bike name 10KG
6    05    Bike name 05KG

Before the Qualify session we will check first 6 riders have the correct bike, if some of the 6 first riders choose a bike with less weight and we dont notice it their race points will be zero and wont race next week.

It is very easy, if you are 5th in the championship yo choose "Bike name 10KG".

We know more experienced riders that usually are the fastest ones ride safe during races, so please, for those slower riders that will be closer or can fight with fastest one thanks to this system, please be fair and race safe!

¿When will be the races?

Races will be during week, you have to vote on the #vote-please channel.

Riders who have raced 70% or more races of the SRC Moto2 will have x2 value vote, that riders are: Davide, Adalgood, LucoideRock, Lluiset, Manu, Javiliyor, Pableke, Lickie, Mimo750, Sergio4AB, Peoples, TheCrivi.

SPANISH VERSION

SRC HEAVY SERIES

A partir de la segunda semana de Enero volverán las SRC series, después de algo mas de medio año el campeonato volverá con una gran novedad nunca vista antes en un campeonato de GPBikes, una novedad que hará que CUALQUIER JUGADOR PUEDA GANAR, el reto será doble para todos...

¿En que consiste la novedad de este campeonato?

Este campeonato será con la misma moto, queda por confirmar cuál.

Los pilotos que son mas rapidos serán lastrados según clasificación del campeonato, haciendo que no solo tengan que luchar entre ellos, sino contra el resto de pilotos mas lentos que tendrán la ventaja de tener menos lastre, es decir el reto es doble ya que no tienes que luchar solo contra los pilotos que habitualmente son los mas rapidos, sino que tendrás que luchar también contra los pilotos lentos ya que al llevar menos o ningún lastre estarán en tu ritmo.

Los pilotos mas lentos que solo pueden soñar en ganar, ahora tendrán una gran oportunidad de hacer algún podio o incluso luchar por la victoria! El objetivo de este sistema es igualar la parrilla y que sea un verdadero reto para todos estar lo mas delante posible.

Sistema de lastre

La primera carrera será normal, todos con la misma moto, a partir de la segunda carrera los pilotos iran lastrados dependiendo de su clasificación general.

POS KG BIKE NAME
1  30  Bike name 30KG
2  25  Bike name 25KG
3  20  Bike name 20KG
4  15  Bike name 15KG
5  10  Bike name 10KG
6  05  Bike name 05KG

Al inicio de la tanda clasificatoria se revisará que los 6 primeros pilotos de la clasificación han escogido la moto correcta. Si un piloto escoge una moto de menor lastre y no nos damos cuenta el resultado no contará y no podrá correr la próxima semana.

Ya conocemos que los pilotos mas experimentados y rapidos suelen tener un buen comportamiento en carrera, asi que por favor los pilotos sin lastre que gracias a este sistema puedan estar delante pedimos que tengan un buen comportamiento en pista! Las colisiones con otros jugadores serán penalizadas duramente.

¿Cuándo serán las carreras?

Las carreras serán entre semana, hay que escoger por votación día y hora.

Los votos de los pilotos que hayan participado en más del 70% de las carreras de SRC Moto2 contaran x2, los pilotos con voto doble son: Davide, Adalgood, LucoideRock, Lluiset, Manu, Javiliyor, Pableke, Lickie, Mimo750, Sergio4AB, Peoples, TheCrivi.

[1) wimp - 94 🥇]

Well, one year later there is the official final standings of the SRC600 series!

Feel sorry about not finishing the last race, had some personal problems and we were only just like 4 - 5 riders on round 5, so it wasn't really worth it for me continue investing more time on the champ. But, we had so much fun on the first races, true?

As you know, the final standings are: all week points - worst week = final result. After doing it, the results didn't changue, so this rule finally didnt affect on the result.


1)  wimp - 94 🥇

2)  Jaume Sancho - 93,5 🥈

3)  lluisete - 79 🥉

4)  pableke46 - 57,5

5)  Javiliyors - 56

6)  teeds - 54

7)  Alvaro250RR - 37

8 )  SuperTarantella! - 34,5

Hello,

We noticed that when we ride more than 6 riders there is people who lose the vision of other bikes. For example, when you are on the starting grid with 10-12 riders and you are in 8th position you only can see like 5 riders, so u dont see a lot of riders that are infront of you and when you are VERY close then appear, provoquing constantly crashes on the early steps of the race.

This is hapenning to a lot of riders, so its a general bug and never happened before. I tried to set graphics lower but dont helps.

My computer is i5 6600k + gtx 970 4gb + 8gb ram ddr4 so I thing its not a pc problem...

Regards,

lluisete

Hello mates,

There is some years I didnt play this game and didnt visit forums, but yesterday appeared on my Youtube recommendations a video about GP Bikes... and I watched it and felt strongly nostalgic... 

My old battle mates are still here? I remember playing here in since Beta 5 more or less... Still remembering that battles in SRC Summer championship and SRC 125 arround 2011-2012 ... won both!! has past a lot of years!! After that period arrived better riders and my glorious period ended!! 

Is still here people like ALEale? Alby46? Alone? Warlock? Davide?

Maybe we can share some anecdotes from that years... I still remembering when we couldnt play more than 4 - 5 players in server If not server crashes... Hope now the game is better!!

Well, maybe I comeback and return to play the game a bit. See you on the server

How to stream GP Bikes?

The game have some compatibility problems for some of the livestreaming programs. But, there is some programs to stream GP Bikes, and at the moment the best option is use Open Broadcaster Software, this is one of the most popular software used by professional players because is easy, compatible with 99% games and the fps dont drop so much.

You can download this program here: http://obsproject.com/download

After install it, open the program and:

1) Go to settings -> Encoder -> Use CBR on -> Adjust Bitrate and Buffer Size with 70-80% of your upload connection -> Coded ACC -> Bitrate 64 -> Format 48khz stereo.



2) Register in TwichTV here http://www.twitch.tv/user/signup .


3) One time you logged in TwitchTV. Click in your profile name -> Dashboard -> Stream Key -> Show key.  You will get a key like this, copy it "live_38867374_KXdylTIa9miGO0n46uHcZMB7kgDKts"


4) Return to OBS and go Settings -> Settings -> Broadcast Settings.
Put this options: Mode Live stream, Streaming service Twitch/Justin.tv, Server (choose the server more near to your location), in Stream Key copy the key that you got in 3), Auto reconnect enabled, Delay 0, Minimize Network Impact on . In my case I start record with F8 and stop it with F9. You can do it manually with the program interface.




5) In video you can set diferent. In FPS you should set min 30 or max 60. With more FPS the CPU and Graphic car works more, then your ingame FPS will drop. Just test it and decide. Downscale none, In Base resolution put your ingame resolution. Disable Aero enabled.



6) In Advanced put this settings



7) One time we have this, is the moment to start the action! Open GP Bikes and minimize it, now go to OBS, in Source right click -> Add -> Game capture -> Put a name and press Ok -> Select GP Bikes, enable "Stretch image to screen" and accept.

8.) Now fou can press F8 or just "Start streaming" and you will be streaming in live. Your link will be this " http://www.twitch.tv/name_of_your_channel/
