When you say "update" what do you mean then? What should i do? Make a new one from the start?

You can also implement the changes from the base DB to your own DB or vice-versa. |

According to the French -> English translation it looks like there will be at least a 5th patch and startlists unfortunately seems to be not already part of #4 although they obviously plan it now.
Always some translation mistakes if you already translate a translated version.

Here the official translation by Cyanide:
Update # 4
These are the main changes and additions:
>> Armada
- Official teams playable in friendly mode. As promised, it is now possible to play friendly races with real teams. As for the use of custom databases in Armada, we prefer to wait until the next update to allow for additional testing.
- Faster! Races (except time-trials) can be speeded-up (x2 / x4) if a majority of players vote for it.
- It is now possible to play time-trial races. AI teams will not be present in these events, to avoid long waiting times. However it will require a certain amount of skill for those who have several good time-trial riders.
- Update of points formula (taking into account team ranking and correction of a display bug).
- As for "Coins" . . . : first off, we will abandon the old prize structure which returned a fixed amount calculated according to the distance raced, to which was added a variable bonus, depending upon the finishing position of the team. All players will now receive equal rewards based on the time spent within the race.
- Corrections to the chat.
- Number of players connected is displayed and a small icon will show if a player is in a game.
We will provide more information on this subject, as well as our plans for the coming weeks, in a future post.
>> Career
- Add the possibility to renew sponsors.
- Fixed problem with U23 races.
- Fixed a bug that could prevent, in some rare cases, getting beyond the world championships.
- Fixed problems related to youth races and renewing sponsors.
>> 3D
- Chapelle de Grammont added to "Isolated Buildings".
Interface
- Add the possibility to zoom the profile during a race.
- Colours added to race profile (in some menus, especially a zoomed profile) to distinguish differences in slopes.
- Corrections to the Detailed Simulation page.
>> Various
- Fixed a rare problem with a "server-side processing error" that could force a player to recreate a profile for each new connection to Armada.
To come
Without going into detail for now, here is an outline of what is to come (not exhaustive):
>> Additional content
- We are preparing a free pack of more than 100 stages which can be used in one-off races as well as in career mode. This will provide, amongst other things, a variant for each Grand Tour as well as for other stage races. There are also additional routes for the World Championships. This pack will be available free of charge and installation will be optional.
>> Armada
- New Feature: Collections. "Collections" (of riders) are rewarded as you progress towards completing them.
- Possibility to delete cards (to get rid of doubles, for example) in exchange for Coins.
- New team management content (rider contracts and equipment repairs).
- Display of the reliability of players (those quitting / not quitting races). Players considered as unreliable are no longer selected as "host".
- Other changes to the attribution of Coins & points at the end of a race.
>> Various
- Departure lists (Startlists)
- We are also aware of a compatibility problem between the Steam version and Windows XP (crash at the start of the loading bar of a 3D race) and we are working on a solution. |

I hope some AI problems will be fixed and then everything is ready to play. But those fixes are a very good start

Also, if you saw my translation post from officials, it says sometime during the second week of the tour, which is anywhere from now to Friday...

The patch will be out Tuesday/Wednesday I believe using logic.
Why ? First TT Armada game is scheduled on Wednesday so the patch has to be out by then

Is stage race mode bug with every rider having the same stats repaired yet or not? I though it is still in the game and not a word about it. All these improvements they listed are so minor it would be maybe better from Cyanide to shut up and repair the rest...startlists are nice, but again for some later patch.

I wonder if it'll be possible to add new variant to an already-existing career easily ? Or would it be the same as last year. |
