Game acting weird, crashes on every stage in the TdF
mathiaswittus
Hey PCMDAILY,

I chose my 9 riders for the Tour de France, and tried to load first stage. It crashed. Ended up having to simulate, thinking that stage 2 might load. It didn't.
And now i'm at third stage, and on the "overview screen" in career (don't know what it's called) It shows the 9 riders I picked, but then when i load a stage it shows other riders inbetween some of the riders and i choose, and then at somepoint in the loading it crashes.
Anybody having the same problem, or know how to fix it?

Thank you

Mathias

What level are your graphics on? Can you load the stage with them set to the very minimum level?

I've always had Graphics on 5, and it runs fine. I can't load the stage with minimum graphics.
As i mentioned something weird is up with the squad selection, it seems to have picked way more than 9 riders for the TDF, because it shows like 15 people on my team at the "Briefing - Equipment - Strategy" pages..
Graphics isn't the problem, something bugged at some point.. havent had the problem before the TDF.
I edited the squad as the very first thing, when i started the career, but i'm very sure i did it correctly, so that shouldn't be the problem.. It just seems to have put extra riders in the squad, after i picked my 9 riders.

EDIT:
Actually, having looked at it again, it seems that in the "Briefing"-tab, there's 15 riders, but in Strategy, there's only the 9 riders that i selected.

I think your best bet for fixing this problem is going back in time and start over.

First copy the latest file from the weeklysave folder to the save game folder, then make sure that the squad is OK.
The save game folder is here: my documents\pcm14\users\your name\database\solo\name of db\

To check the squad, open the save with an editor and have a look in the table DYN_team_race. Search for the race and then check the content in the column gene_ilist_roster. It should not contain more than 9 numbers, separated by a comma.
(Using my editor, tick the option "Use team filter" so that you only see information about your team in my editor.)

If this sounds too confusing to you, attach your save to your post.

Will try that! Thanks. I am using your editor. It's great! :-)

EDIT:

Checked, and there's only 9 riders in the roster... hmm..

Did you check the weeklysave or the broken save?

At which date is the weeklysave? If it is not at the first stage, simulate to that day and then check again.

You can also check the column fkIDrace in DYN_cyclist.

Somebody has posted instructions how to remove riders from a race, so if you cannot find the problem, you could try to fix the broken save by removing the unwanted riders from the race. (Edit the thread would be here: https://pcmdaily.c..._id=35832)

BTW: Did you use my editor to move riders from one team to another? If yes, maybe you forgot to change the link to the team in either DYN_contract_cyclist or DYN_cyclist. The column is called fkIDteam in both tables.

I used your editor to edit the team, and i did it correctly. I had waaaay too many riders in the fkIDrace in DYN_cyclist though. I have now fixed the broken save, and it worked.

Thank you very much!
