Do we need to restart our carriers?

To get all changes / fixes, yes. It's worth mentioning that the 'serious' bugs aren't fixed if you continue your career, including the TdU bug, the National Teams bug and the Giro columns bug.

However, all three are pretty easy to fix in your save game if you want to do so. I suppose that you've fixed / is not experiencing the TdU bug, so that's one out. The National Teams bug is simply to put a "1" instead of "0" in gene_b_national (or something like that) in DYN_team at the national teams. The Giro one is a bit trickier, but you can copy the details from this DB to your save game if you wish to do so.

Have you made any changes in the DYN_cyclist table? because I have made some stat changes in v2.0, and it would be nice if i can just move the tabel into the v2.1 db if you have made some changes som of the tabel that could have any affect on dyn_cyclist tabel it would be nice to know too.

We deleted some riders, updated rider stats for a few riders and also added at least one rider. However, it won't cause any serious problems if you decide to copy over your own DYN_cyclist.

Why do I have a save game with the v2 and the tables of the Giro are all equal to the fix2.1?=\
At the moment I had only 1 bug: the national teams =\

okay thank, can I ask who you deleted and who do you added, if I know that I can just do the same to my db without loosing my stats

The Giro's fixed in the new version, so if you're only worried about the national teams, you can fix that problem by setting them as national teams.

You can do that by setting gene_b_national to 1 in DYN_team for each team

what about dyn_cyclist_contracts have you made any changes to (except the added rider(s))? or can copy that into the database too?

Well, I can say that V2.1 f*cked my game all along. Got 2 errors in 2 times playing the 3rd stage in Algarve, and the 4th stage shows up as a 148km time-trial.

I think I'm done with PCM for weeks.

Gabriel: Your V2 save game can't by no means have the same columns at the Giro as the V2.1. If you do, I'd like to see it.

Marco: Sounds to me like you didn't install the latest patch.

We see the changes in the Dyn_variant_stage table, right?In there I have the same tables for a V2 save and a V2.1 =\
Maybe I did something wrong?!=\

No, you see the changes in DYN_stage.

I have been told that was in Dyn_variant_stage -.-'
My mistake.
How can I copy the v2.1 tables to the V2 save?

Copy the OfficialRelease.cdb from the V2.1 to the Full Editor along with your save game. Use the Full Editor to extract both of them.

Open STA_stage and STA_race with Excel for both databases (OfficialRelease and your save game).

In STA_stage, in fkIDrace, choose 135. Find gene_i_stage_number and sort it from lowest to highest. Do the same with your save game and copy the data from OfficialRelease.cdb to your save game and save (as .xml).

In STA_race, find Giro d'Italia (id 135) and copy the row to your save game. Save.

Open the Full Editor and export your save game.

Is it possible to minimize the offer of frames,helmets etc. without any crashes?
Because the menu is very overloaded to me, and I simply want to pick out some material for my career...

If you have a look in STA_equipment, you will notice that each equipment has a 'double'. One of them is used for AI teams, the other one is for human teams. I think that you can delete the ones for the human teams without getting crashes.

Awesome work, mate. I only can say thank you. Simply fantastic.

Crue: I did install, in fact, the latest patch...

getting a crash after the simulating Stage 18 of the Vuelta

when advancing, the bar displays "Simulating Fatima-Torres Novas" then crashes

We didn't change anything in the Vuelta, but try sending me your save game, and I'll have a look.

what have you done to solve the problem with the riders skin?, because i've first see the update to news now, and I don't wan't to start over editing the db

"Fatima-Torres Novas" is a stage of some portuguese race. I guess it's Grande Prémio da Estremadura, former Volta ao Distrito de Santarém, according to the date and the start and finish locations.

This is a good and complete DB. Thanks for all the work!

However, the fact that Voigt won the Giro in 2011 in my game shows two its flaws:
-The decline ages are ridiculously high. Riders between 35 and 40 are almost all as fit as if they were 24...Which brings impossible results like Armstrong's win in the 2010 Tour de France (when we all know he can't even win it in 2009 and might stop after that). Decline ages might have been too low in other DBs, but this is just too high!
-Some players are traditionnally completely overrated. For example: it looks like everyone agreed that they wanted to see Voigt become a monster, capable of winning 3-weeks tours aged 39, aswell as April Classics. Just a reminder: he sometimes wins 3 to 8 days races, but he's no Superman. Other example: making Cancellara or Gilbert so good that they are winning robots was "justified" last year, but don't we all feel bad when they just win every March classic in the game, even though they are proving this year that they can also be random riders.
