How to install
Because we got a lot of replies asking for help with the installation, we decided to write an extended installation guide for the installation.
This is an update for PCM.daily’s 2016 Database. Make sure you have V1.0 and V1.1.0 installed, before installing this update!
1. Download the update from the Downloads section or with the download link below.
2. Extract PCMdaily2016DBV120Setup.zip and open the folder where you extracted it.
3. Double click setup.exe. When asked for Administrator permissions, click Okay or fill in a password of an administrator to continue.
4. Follow the steps of the installation.
A very crucial point in the installation is the step where you will have to choose the installation directory. This often goes wrong, so here's an extended guide:
By default, this is C:\Program Files\Cyanide\Pro Cycling Manager - Season 2015, which is the default installation directory for PCM2015.
In some cases, however, this location is different. It depends on whether you have bought the game a disc or through Steam, but it also depends on your language. If you have Steam, by default the directory is C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Pro Cycling Manager 2015, unless you installed Steam in a different location. If you have PCM in another language, the "Season" part of the default directory has to be translated into your own language (for example in Dutch it will be Pro Cycling Manager - Seizoen 2015). If you are still unsure, take a look at the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) thread.
Make sure to install the DB in your general PCM folder, NOT in the subfolder Database.
5. Complete the installation process. Installation can take a while considering it is a huge file.
6. Now it's time to start the game. On the main page of the game, go to Options (the "gear" at the bottom of the screen), then click Database (the last tab at the top of the popup screen) and select PCMdaily_2016DB_V12 as your database.
7. You have completed the installation process of the database. Have fun!
If you followed this guide, but you’re still having problems with the installation, check the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) thread on the forum. If your problem isn’t listed in there, ask your question in the General questions thread.

To resolve issues associated with race rules (such as too many wildcards in World Tour races and others) in v1.2.0, you can use this bugfix. It also resolves a bug related to Volta a Portugal, where no teams except one took part.
Besides this, it fixes a nationality for Tiago da Silva (Differdange), teams allocations for a few riders and Quilicot's custom jersey's nationality (French -> Canadian).
and place it in Documents\Pro Cycling Manager 2015\Mod\Database, overwriting the older file there. Note that you will have to restart any career for it to take effect.
