Issues fixed

(Steam version)Superbike Stuck on 4th gear and dirtbike stuck 3rd gear

Caused because the Steam version of the Moto Racer 2 game has incorrectly removed the DRM which causes the game to think "it is not licensed" and because of that limits the speed of the bike.[1]
  1. Download [1] this executable fixed.
  2. Copy the contents of the folder into the game's installation directory.
  3. Run the game from Motoracer2.exe

Game not launching on Windows 10

This issue is caused because the game does not detect modern hardware and modern systems well.[1]
  1. Download [2] dgvoodoo2.
  2. Copy D3D9.dll,D3D8.DLL,DDRAW.DLL from the \MS\x86\ folder to the game install directory.
  3. Run the game
