GSC Extreme v1.25 is out - now also on Steam!

Steam Release Info

If you already own it you may now switch your Serial Number for a Steam key from the official GSC Extreme website:

This is valid for purchases made from release until February 9th 2015. New non-Steam purchases will NO LONGER warrant Steam keys.

Existing NonSteam installs will continue to work even if you do switch your Serial Number for a Steam key, but you will not be able to use the Serial Number again for an install in a fresh system.

Moving to Steam is recommended, but not required. Just like in this release, the plan is to continue updating both versions simultaneously. If you do prefer to keep multiple installs of the game for mods, be advised that for now is not possible with Steam.

INSTALLATION (Non-Steam users):

Update to v1.25 by running GSC Sync.

If you are having any trouble updating via GSC Sync, you may download v1.21 to v1.25 update package from this link, and then add the v1.251 & v1.252 update package from this link to bring your game up to date.

Known issues:

Several code-related issues reported from v1.21 are still present in this build, as the code is going through a rewrite which has not been completed in time for v1.25. For that reason v1.25 has the following known issues:

Update v1.251 added, changelog:

  • Fixed pit entry / exit at Johannesburg Historic where the AI could have some difficulties;
  • Adjusted idle speed & low range torque on the Metalmoro MR18 engine so it doesn´t stall as easily;
  • Minor tyre update to Metalmoro MR18;

Update v1.252 added, changelog:

  • Further optimization for F-Vee, F-V12, F-Retro (hopefully addressing stuttering issues);

@Reiza Studios you say it is recommended but not required, can you elaborate please.

Basically it´s recommended because of Steam´s features and ease to use. It´s not required because the Non-Steam install will continue to work and receive updates just as the Steam version will.

@Reiza Studios I have a question, but rather I don´t change my serial by a Steam key for now, until it´s possible to have multiple installations on Steam, can I make the change in the future?

Should not be a problem. No plans to take the key switch system down.
 
Thanks for the quick reply. I'll try again, but downloading with GSync before was so slow. I'd like to first understand the advantages/disadvantages of linking GSCE with Steam, before I proceed that path. Can someone elaborate? Thanks.
