Here are the latest xinput dll and dli for GPB

Normally you only need the .dli (to be put in gpb plugins folder).

Thanks guys... Appreciate that.

I found no difference with the dll. I only used the dli. I will test it the other way round?

No, you don't need the .dll at all (you already have it somewhere within windows). You only need the .dli provided by Piboso.

Is it me or is everyone suffering from double up-shifting where you press to up shift and it scrips a gear?

Just tested the xinput.dli and .dll and it crashed my system and then when I rebooted it had scrubbed my profile even though all my profile was still there in the Piboso folder! 

I managed to get my profile sorted again, but now my controller inputs are very sluggish even though I've gone through all calibrations and controller settings so they are what I had previously.... Also the screen rendering is staggering and lagging. I wish I'd left it alone now with the A1 Ring club race tonight. Lol 

I've tried the install over current install method, it didn't sort this problem out.... I'm going to have to do a total clean GPB re-install. It's the only way to start afresh again I think.... Oh well!

DANG!!! Never heard or had that before. If you used the ones from me, I tested since Ive had beta8 so they were working before I uploaded them!!!

If it was my fault I will eat my helmet. I cant see how an input dll or dli would cause a crash that then scrubbed your profile!!!

I will download it and virus check it and whateva to make sure its good.

@Hawk: weird. But as said, you didn't need the .dll and it can cause troubles.
There are a few version of xinput dll around (depending on which windows you have), it's a mess. But again, you only need the .dli, nothing else.
If your device does not support input, it won't have any effect.

I found no virus and ran both files at same time and had no issues at all?

I'm on Windows 7 x64 Ultimate.

I think what may have caused havoc was me putting both .dll and .dli files into the plugins folder at the same time? I thought GPB would just use the relevant plugin and not be confused with both being there. Silly me for thinking GPB would check the files to make sure they were relevant before using them. 

Anyway.... I'll just keep recalibrating each time I go online, it's a hassle but hopefully Pib will look into it and sort it out.

The xinput plugin *is* the .dli only.

The .dll is the standard windows dll for xinput, it's something different (even if related).

In any case, it's not 100% sure that the crash is due to that.
Definitely it shouldn't crash if you use the xinput.dli *only*. it doesn't for me (and many others), Win 7 64 too.

I have had both inn my plugins folder foreva and never had a problem because of it.

Now I know I dont need the dll for sure I will remove it but it should not be that both are in the same folder at the same time.

DD........oh yeah was same in WIN 7 Ultimate 64bit and now WIN10 Pro 64bit

Very true that it's not 100% sure that caused the crash, but it was sure a fatal system crash and not the usual Core.exe crash; it totally blocked me out of my system and I had to switch it off at the power-point to get it to restart.
But it was the sluggishness in the control inputs that surprised me after I got it all sorted and working again... It felt like the difference between 100% direct lean and 5% direct lean settings, so something had obviously been screwed up somewhere.

I've been having to calibrate every time as well.    Same as above - -------- in the Calibration Profile field.

I had this problem i sorted it by making a new profile and deleting the old one.
I also deleted unnamed profile.
For some reason If I changed the profile and saved it, then played the game it would not save.
But when I changed the profile and saved it then left the game and restarted it, the profile worked fine.
Bug maybe.

Just wanted to say that the 500cc physics is unacceptable.

I'd go as far and say it's worse then ever.


Brakes and lean angle might be better but the wobbles make the bike completely unridable.

I don't accept not going full throttle on straights in 6th gear as a solution.

edit: that said, given what piboso told us, I think that modders should be able to come up with a very nice 500 but it will require a lot of fine tuning.
