After watching the mountain stages of the giro I so wanna play PCM again 
Was looking for a 2008 DB when i found the PCMdaily 2008 DB.
I installed PCM and the 1.0.3.1 patch for the cd version, and then followed the instructions of the readme filed included in the DB folder. So i installed the fix...
I started the game with great excpectations and watched the stats for some riders (T. Dekker is too good ingame B))
Everything seemed to work nice and I started a "stage" just to check if the game worked.
Everything seemed to be ok, untill it started loading cyclist textures. It suddenly crashed.
I uninstalled the game, deleted alle folders and re-installed it. Followed the instructions to install the DB again. Tried a different stage with a different team. It stilled crashed....
I played this game some months ago on the same PC. I have Vista bussiness, but it should work without the DB.
Anyone know what to do? Got the same problem youself? |

I suppose you did one thing wrong -- you're using the career DB for Single Race whereas you are supposed to use the Single Race DB for the Single Races. In your main PCM-directory, there's a file called SingleMode.bat. Double click it, let it run and it will close down itself. After that, open PCM again, and play a Single Race. It should work now.
Whenever you want to play Career, click the CareerMode.bat file and start PCM. |

That's normal, yes.
I'd suggest to, once again, completely reinstall the game and the DB (https://pcmdaily.com/forum/viewthread....ad_id=4535). When installed, do as I said before:
"In your main PCM-directory, there's a file called SingleMode.bat. Double click it, let it run and it will close down itself. After that, open PCM again, and play a Single Race. It should work now."
Then try a Single Race.
Problem is that when the game has crashed once it's likely to crash again afterwards for stupid reason even if you have fixed the problem. |

Try to go to Program Files/Cyanide/Pro Cycling Manager/Database
Tell me which files you see. |

Aha, there's the problem. When clicking the SinglePlayer.bat-file the point of it is to switch the OfficialReleaseSingle.cdb with the OfficialRelease.cdb. But obviously, it doesn't work for you.
So, if you want to play single races you need to rename OfficialRelease.cdb to OfficialReleaseCareer.cdb and OfficialReleaseSingle.cdb to OfficialRelease.cdb. |

If I do this, will the game still work in careermode?
I use to play them both. |

If you've started a career you can continue playing it even if you're using OfficialReleaseSingle. |
