Hello there,
I'm having a performance issue with my pcm2009. Offcours i know that my pc is a to old to play pcm
I've investigated this and when i ride a race which has got more then +-120 starting riders, the performance is really bad. Some races have only about 100 starting riders, those races i can play without any problem.
Now my question: Is there a way to limit the number of participating teams for all races at once.I guess i could make custom startlists for all races but that would be a huge job.
In game i dont have an option to do that. If i choose a tour de france stage there must always be 20 teams selected, else i can't start the race.
Many thanks
Jorge
I do not know of an option to reduce the number of participating teams, maybe somebody else does?
You could reduce the number of riders per team which are allowed to participate. This has to be done in the STA_race but it would be a rather big hack as you would need to set it as low as 5 to get below 120 riders total.

Thanks for your reply Lachi,
Actually i dont have to change it for career, i never play career, always single races or stage races, on the lan with my bro or in single player mode.
I tested it once more and actually 140 riders is really the maximum my pc can handle, that's if i want a smooth game.
I can be wrong but 20 teams is the maximum i've seen in a race, for instance a tour de france stage.
20*7=140, that would give me 7 riders to play which i think is acceptable.
I would have to modify this for all races which has got, default, more then 140 starting riders. I'm using the Simple Real Names DB.
It's not really clear for me how the startlists work eighter.
I've read on the forum tht startlists have to be put into 2 folders:
"my documents\Pro Cycling Manager 2009\Export"
and also in
"my documents\Pro Cycling Manager 2009\Export\startlists"
I've got 3 questions about this
1. Why do we need to have 2 times the same startlist for a race
2. Are there other locations that have gotsomething to do with startlists
3. Are those startlists working in single player and lan games (classics,stage, and stage races)
For career its not important for me to know since i never play career.
I'll start modifying the STA_race values, but if someone knows of a way to limit the starting teams it would would be much appriciated.
tx again Lachi
Well, in STA_race, you can also define which teams to show up when you choose to play Single Race Mode -> "Realistic". If you want, you can set this to e.g. 10 teams.
