Hi Im getting pink squares in almost every team photo and team logo if I use the PCM.daily Expansion Pack V1 or 2 everything looks fine but as soon as I try to use one of ur database I only get pink squares. Any ideas what I did wrong?

Thnxs in advance.

My guess is you missed one of our updates in the download section All there has to do with pink squares, are caused by downloading errors.

Yeah I had to install and copy so many things that a missed a couple of files. Thnxs 4 ur help.

According to my feature list, there would be a lot of features this release, but the biggest of them remains Equipment. We are well aware that the equipment has already been made for another database, but to mentain being our database we will make our own equipment.

This means that it will be released in smaller pieces throughout the coming releases, but we expect to have a full version out somewhere in the summer. Right now we are going to work on the v2, which will feature 1.2 and 1.75, to put everything into one dowload.

You're probably aware of it, but I'm just mentioning that the three-day stage race Szlakiem Grodów Piastowskich in May is now downgraded to 2.2 from 2.1.

And I'm hoping you'll add Tour of Yorkshire and the revived Spanish races Vuelta a Asturias and Vuelta Communidad de Madrid.

I have a question. I'm playing my third career season now. In this years TdF there are weird rules. 3 intermediate sprints each stage with 20 pts win each one compared to 30 pts for the stage winner. These sprints often take place some 15 km before the finish. This also gives weird situation when a bunch of 20 sprinter guys get into a major group after the first intermediate sprint and me as the only team has to pursue them, if not the get like 15 min in advance.

How has these strange rules come into the game? I'm playing with pcm.daily expansion pack and JESG 2015DB installed, however the save is from the old pcm.daily ofc. So can you help me explain how these gamebreaking rules came into the game?

What variant is it you're using? It's probably related to that

What do you mean by variant? The save is from PCM.daily's Expansion Pack 2014. I'm wondering what "mod" (or the default game itself?) set this rules? Has anyone experienced something similar or are the rules set randomly each year? Are they also changing in the default version of the game without mods?

I was talking about the TdF variant, so which route of the Tour are you having (can check through single player - stage/stage race)

When I got the 2010 variant of the Tour for the second season, I had this too. It's got nothing to do with changing rules, they're the same every year for the Tour de France in the game. It's just that in 2010, every stage had three intermediate sprints instead of one, and the stages for that variant has been left unchanged. As far as I know, the 2010 route is the only one with this problem, as they changed the rules to the current format (which is correctly represented in the game) in 2011.

I'm pretty sure your Tour de France starts with a prologue in Rotterdam?

It's starting with a prologue in Straßburg.

That would make it the 2006 route, which I can see has the same problem. If you don't want it again later in the carreer (or in a new one) you can just delete the relevant stage files from the cm_stages folder.

Oh, and to the DB makers, Jesleyh & sgdanny:

I've got something which might improve the career mode performance of your DB. It relates to favourite races. It seems like the riders' fav. races has got a lot to do with which GT they ride.

In my career with Movistar, Chris Froome has the Giro as one of his favourite races. For two seasons he rode the Giro strongly (1st & 2nd) and was much weaker in the Tour, and in the third year he rode only the Giro (1st).

Kelderman also has the Giro as his fav. race, and has concentrated on that race every season. Bardet also likes the Giro, and has been better there than in the Tour.

Meanwhile, Betancur, Costa & Contador have all had podiums in the Tour, which is their favourite race, and they haven't ridden any other GT. Especially Contador has been awesome in the Tour. One year he destroyed my Quintana (Giro as fav. race) despite Quintana having better stats in almost every department. So it seems like fav. race also gives quite a significant bonus for that race.

If you want a realistic choice of races for the big names, pre-setting fav. races seems like the way to go!

Any news about the V2???

Hello i have a problem with the database, im only seeing the transmision of the bike no wheels or frame any solutions?

You have installed it in the wrong folder, probably.
Or you haven't installed the Expansion Pack V1 and V2?

Make sure you select the right folder when installing, both for my DBs and the Exp Pack.

Which Expansion Pack V1 And V2? :S

I reinstalled everything and didnt work. Thanks for the fast response.

-

Yes, both.
You are sure you are installing it in the same directory where PCM.exe is?

You need Exp V1 + Exp V2 + Jesgd V1.

Are you still releasing a Post-Giro update?
