Hi, so i've been playing two full seasons with two diffrent teams, and it's all good, but when i get to the second season, my sponsors decide to nearly half the money they are giving me, leaving me bankrupt. In both saves i had signed a couple of players, and in the second i made sure that i would only sign riders with the same salary as those who left my team.
I'm not sure if this is due to a bug, or a database problem (I am running the PCMdaily 2010 with Maximka 2011 database) or the sponsors simply not being happy with my performances (even if i was just a little under the middle on the first game and over on the second)
The first save was with PCMdaily 2010 database only, the second with Macimka 2011 database.
When i started playing PCM 09, i am pretty sure that the salaries were normal, this time i played with no database.
Please help me, as this is seriosly ruining my experiences. And please tell me this isn't database related, as i can't stand the default database.
(Also, i have tried Hannes Converter on my save file to edit both my sponsors and my salaries, but none of them worked).
The sponsor money is only related to the sponsor happiness. And that happiness is only related to the standing of your team in the superprestige ranking. It is a stupid system but if you keep the happiness bar at least in the middle, then you are OK. Try to perform well in all races you are participating. In bigger races you get points for the sprint and mountain jerseys as well.
It can be related to the DB, but you cannot fix it there easily.
But you should be able to fix your save using any editor (just don't use Hannes Converter because it might destroy your save). The easiest way would be to reduce the expectations of your sponsor during the season so that they don't reduce the budget. This can be done in DYN_manager. (the column is called sponsor coefficent or similar).
But you can also change the budget after they reduced it. Should be in the same table. Just look for the amount you see in the game.

Considering what you said, it seems like more of a bug than a feature. My sponsors were moderatly happy, my wagers didn't increase more than 20.000. Yet they still decided to remove 200.000 from monthly earnings.
as i said, i edited both the money recieved and the money used for wagers, but none worked. And yes, i am certain i did it correctly (unless Hannes converter has problem i don't know about, and no, my save file wasn't corrupted).
When playing with lower-tier teams, this is no problem. Granted i did perform better according to the expectations, but still. When managing Joker Bianchi (now-a-days known as Joker - Merida) i got alot more sponsor money the second season, so much that i went from a team with an average of around 65 to over 70.
