Force saving
Gonchar
Hi, is there any way I can force the game to do a save of my game. It seems the game won't save changes on the date I exit the game. For example if I go to a date with a race I will do and do some changes, I have to to do the race as well for the gamle to save??

I believe that there are two times the game auto saves
1) at turn of day
2) after a race youve participated in

This fits your description. As for a solution: blank

i can only think of making some back-ups of your savegame... but i also have that problem with making transfers first..and than i want to ride a stage of the vuelta but i don't have the time so i need to quit the game...

OK. will have to trust that Cyanide manages to program a save-button for next release, then!

I'm pretty sure that I can safely say that the current way of saving will be kept in PCM09 too. It's been like that for as long as I remember.

Oh, well.. A warning out there then. Do not make massive changes to your riders fitness schedule's or other things and expect the automatic-save feature in PCM to actually update after you make changes!

I've found that if I make the changes (e.g. training schedule, sponsor application, hire/fire staff) and then quit to the main menu (not exit to windows), the changes are saved.

I can then make copies of the save game database files in C:\documents & settings\PCM08\database\solo (think that's right) and replace them if thinks don't turn out right (e.g. sponsors reject me).

Why is drugsdont work your name as they clearly do you CAMEL Pfft

OK. So go to main menu might be a different system. I'll try that. Thanks for the tips.

(Another annoyance is the bug where the game (at lest for me) crashes if I try to push the wrong button on the number pad, for instance the number 8 if I only have 7 riders in the team... That one is easy to do, as I regularly want to go back to view where my last placed rider in the pack is...)

I agree with that. Or if you press 'down' too fast, it might also crash.

Could be a memory problem, though.
