Alternatively, make your own shortcut to Program Files/Cyanide/PCM/PCM.exe. This will start the game directly without the Autorun menu and therefore also without the auto update pop-up.
This helped me to avoid the annoying question. |

You need to re-install the PCM.daily Local.cdb file.

I've noticed something very annoying about this sprint-fixing patch (problably as annoying as riders stopping before the finish line). It's almost impossible to overtake rider you follow during the sprint even if you're faster and fresher. For example I start my sprint with Renshaw at 2 km to go having Cavendish on his wheel ready to take last few meters. At 1 km to go I go for it but for some reason Cavendish who's SP and ACC 85 (2014) and fresh as orange juice can't overtake exhausted Renshaw.
In that case I rather play on 1.0.4.1. |

guys, there has been an interesting observation by a friend - hache - from a euskalpcm team. Here is his theory:
I have been practicing lately and i don't know if ever was better or different but now i see it is pretty similar than TRACK sprints, or keirin...
So if you are behind a rider, you go the same speed as he is going. SO if you are behind your launcher you will hardly pass him if you don't have space on your sides.
The main difference with Track races is that you cannot move the rider with the arrow keys, so you are fucked. The only way to move your rider is following others.
For example you are on the middle behind your launcher on top, if you sprint with your sprinter, he will go to a side of the launcher and accelerate, if he has red bar and he is fast he will go forward. But if you have other riders on your sides he wont be able to do that, to go to the side to accelerate, he will took lot of time.
In that example if you are on top of the pelothon, someone passes you on the left, you hit "follow" him and your rider will go to the left, and if you see a freeway then hit sprint and he will go forward.
The best way would be to launch fast with your best launcher and then hit sprint with your sprinter and immediatly quit your launcher from the way, how can you do that, i don't know, it is pretty hard to do it in that little time.
Now, following his theory I set up my train for Garmin using the following:
R.Hunter - 1st lead-out
J.Dean - 2nd lead-out
T.Farrar - sprinter
From 3 km, sprint with Hunter, when his red bar is almost done - not entirely though, I start and sprint with Dean. Once Dean is on sprint mode, I put Hunter on effort mode - so that Dean can pass him and select a new route. When Dean has his red almost over (but again - still some left) - I put Farrar in sprint mode - and only after put Dean on effort having the same effect, meaning Farrar can pass him and have free road ahead. Farrar ends up as being first.
What i see as new in 1.0.4.2 is this "blocking" stuff - which in fact if the theory is correct - is a nice improvement.
Other way, if I keep all 3 riders in sprint mode - will end up as you said.
Maybe some of you guys can try it also and give some feed-back. |

Maybe this is right, haven`t tested it. But then this wouldn`t be a nice improvement in my opinion. Even when Hunter and Dean continues sprinting, Farrar should oversprint them. There are situations with enough space in the left or the right, but although Farrar has more energy and better stats he is not able to overtake them. That`s a bug in my opinion and I don`t want to pause the game several times in the last 3km just for changing their status.
Then I prefer playing with 1.0.4.1. |

roturn, the idea is your blocking your sprinter with your own lead-out man. What i said above can be done really easy using keyboard short-cuts, without pausing the game. |

But if they ride in one line and left and right is absolutely free. Then Farrar should be able to ride there to overtake the lead-out instead of doing nothing.
How can he be blocked if everything but in front of you is free.
Maybe I just misunderstand you, but in real they also don`t sprint in a straight line. They accelerate out of someone`s back go right or left and then in a straight line. |

Agree with Roturn. Unlike "Track" we don't control/steer a rider through traffic. The expectation is that he'll navigate around slower riders during a sprint. If he happens to be blocked in front and on either side, then that he'll have to wait for an opening before accelerating around, I've seen that take place. But, if there is an opening he is supposed to take it. |

Just copy the local.cdb of the PCM Daily DB in the MyDoc folder.
(There should be a PCM Daily Backup folder in the gamefolder with the local)
Also CrueTrue uploaded a new version somewhere in this thread/forum. |

Why don't recommend using it, even though it's too late for me.

Not too late. Patch 1.0.4.2 is much worse than 1.0.4.1 because the sprints aren`t working at all.
So just over install 1.0.4.1 from 1.0.0.0 and everything is working again.
Just do the procedure with the local, too. |

This works for me at least  The PCM.exe version says 1.0.4.1 afterwards and the sprints are working again.
So it seems so. |

You don`t have to. But the shortcut on your desktop is the autorun and so you are always asked to auto update.
If you replace it with a shortcut of the PCM.exe from the game folder then you start the game immediately and you won`t be asked. Much better in my opinion |
