Hello guys
I don't know if I should go to a store to get the disc version of PCM or I should just get it on steam. I got the all the disc versions since 2007.
Will there be any difficulties using editors and editor files if I buy on steam? I been a heavy user of Lachi's and other editors and databases over the past years. And it worked really well.
So what would you recommend? Steam or Disc version?
Kind Regards
MKP

For a bit more advanced answer i would add that having open steam while playing generates more CPU, which causes your computer to perform slower but that's usually not a problem for 90% of the users who has a computer which run the game without too much problems.
And to answer your question about editors, it's not a problem, it functions the same way as a disc version. Only difference is that you often will have to download most expansions and db's manually into the Steam folder instead of the usual "Program files64 > Pro cycling manager" folder

Nevertheless, you can start the the game without Steam when you don't like to - even if you have purchased it via Steam. Just browse to the directory (mostly the main folder) with the PCM.exe and run it. |

anyone with a bit of a serious pc should have no problem running any game + steam in the background. You have to have an old or crappy pc should that be the problem.
when i play games i have so many shit running in the background and still doing everything on ultra in QHD or 4k with no frame drops. |

I just bough a new computer in January, before that i had to run PCM on a crappy laptop and i had to close a shitload of program too run PCM without it starting to lag mid way a race, so i just thought to mention it.
Steam is not the biggest issue when it comes to taking up CPU so its not that big of a deal, for example i found out that windows media player constantly run in the backround taking up serious amount of CPU, the same with any Anti-virus programs, but anyway some people should take it into account.
