Really appreciate all the work everyone has done on these DB's but have had some problems lately in career mode with the 2010 V2 DB and hoping some people might have some insight (I read the FAQ and I'm pretty sure I moved the local CDB to the right spot)
so here's the problem, I've been trying to start a custom team using the 2010 v2 db. things work great for the first few months of the season (in fact the last one time I was tearing it up). but I'd say right around may or april (even been june before), it varies everytime the game stops working (only on career mode, the single player stages still load up).
not sure if its a graphic issue (i've lowered my settings to the bare minimum) but the 3d engine starts loading gets all the way to the team textures and starts going thru the cycling textures and gets almost all the way to the end and the game crashes. windows trys to find a solution but never does. but again the game works for the first few months (I don't race every race but usually have done numerous 3d races in the season before it starts crashing, then every stage in the career crashes after that). Any suggestions welcome!!
Right if it is works earlier (races in January, February, and March usually) then I'm not sure why it starts crashing a few months in. I had the pink flags and the scouting issues but moved the local file and that was taken care of. If I just play individual races it loads up just fine. Usually its when I get to the vuelta murcia or the vuelta andalucia, or sometimes the criterium in france where it starts giving me problems. Sounds like I can rule graphics out?
I'm thinking maybe it was an issue with the download. I did use flashget but perhaps I should try and redownload the database. I've tried deleting and reinstalling the database but maybe it was the download. Or the only thing I can think of is when I install the database it says that its a good idea to uninstall and reinstall the game for the databases. Is that pretty important? I don't have any activations left on my PCM09 so I didn't do this, maybe that was the problem? Thanks again
Oh and sorry CrueTrue, yeah I did try and career last night with one of the continental teams that comes with the database (Kelly Benefit) and the same thing. Worked great for awhile but then when I got to the Vuelta Murcia it started crashing.
If I were you, I'd ask for a new CD key, completely uninstall the game (after the uninstallation, make sure to manually delete the Pro Cycling Manager folder in Program Files/Cyanide and the PCM-folder in My Docs), install it again, install the latest patch, then the PCM.daily DB.
Until then, can you copy/paste the last 10 lines of your PCM log file (My Docs/PCM/ProCyclingManager.log - can be opened with Notepad) after the crash? I doubt that it'll make me any wiser on the issue, but you never know.
Thanks again Mike for trying to resolve not only my issue but all of those that you encounter on surely a daily basis! I'm going to try and uninstall and reinstall the game later, I'll let you know how it goes. If it crashes again I'll try and post the last ten lines.
