Fix for PCM Spain 2007
As promised, the patch for PCM Spain has now been released. This means the DB has now gone into version 1.1. The following fixes are included in the new file:
- Values after the finish of the Vuelta and the ITT World's are revised. - Riders Cyril Gautier (FRA, Bretagne - Armor Lux) and Ivan Quaranta (ITA, Amore e Vita) have been added. Cyclists Alexander Filippov (RUS, Free Agent) and Gianpaolo Caruso (ITA, Lampre - Fondital) were deleted. - Correction on GP Rudy Dhaenens (BEL, 1.2) and Châteauroux Classic de l'Indre (FRA, 1.1) so as to avoid CPU auto-selects riders from the user to be taking part of the race. - Corrected jerseys for the following teams: SouthAustralia.com - AIS (AUS) and Storez Ledecq Materiaux (BEL), thanks to the_sim_eraser (PCM Benelux).
Cyanide has now updated the beta patch we mentioned a few days ago, meaning that it's now in version 1.0.3.1. That also means we have a new fix list ready for you. This list may change before the final release.
CAREER * Correction to bug on Giro 2008 : the stage number 4 is now considered a flat stage instead a mountain one. * Correction to bug on creation of young amateur riders (same surname/forename) * Refinements to allocation of new budget. * The income from the sale of a rider is now added to transfer funds. * Correction to bug which could prevent a significant improvement in budget after being promoted. * Refinements to appreciation of contract offers. The rider takes a little less account of his morale in order to accept more easily offers from other teams. * Refinements to contracts : it is now possible to recruit good riders when managing a continental team that will be promoted at the end of the season. * Refinements to the influence of the status given in race simulations. Rider morale drops more easily if race status does not correspond to status in contract. * Corrections to a message that, in some cases, could block a player. * Correction to a bug in the monthly awards on the Magazine tab * Refinement to "Fighter" attribute generated for young amateur riders. * Adjustments to simulations : a few more gaps created during hilly stages * Scouts with a "Mythical" reputation give more exact feedback on a rider's potential
INTERFACE * Correction to display of budget for past year on the 15th October financial statement.
Next Sunday, September 30th, a definitive 1.1 version will be published as the first and only fix in the Pack PCM Spain. In this fix, some elements will be added and a number of minor errors reported by users all over Europe will be fixed. It's highly recommended (but not needed) that you all started a new career if yours did not reach too far. Features list is the following one:
RR World champion in the Single Mode DB is corrected.
Values after the finish of the Vuelta and the ITT World's are revised.
Riders Cyril Gautier (FRA, Bretagne - Armor Lux) and Ivan Quaranta (ITA, Amore e Vita) have been added. Cyclists Alexander Filippov (RUS, Free Agent) and Gianpaolo Caruso (ITA, Lampre - Fondital) were deleted.
Correction on GP Rudy Dhaenens (BEL, 1.2) and Châteauroux Classic de l'Indre (FRA, 1.1) so as to avoid CPU auto-selects riders from the user to be taking part of the race.
Corrected jerseys for the following teams: SouthAustralia.com - AIS (AUS) and Storez Ledecq Materiaux (BEL), thanks to the_sim_eraser (PCM Benelux).
The way to install this small fix (2.6 Mb) will be the same you did it in the complete package. A week after the release, a final package will be built for everyone who wants to get their hands on a single file.
Yes, I know we said the 30th. And yes, I know it's not the 30th yet. I hope you can all forgive me and Dankan for releasing the PCM Spain V1 ... today! Yes, that's right. It's here! The PCM Spain DB is back, better than ever before. More races, more cyclists, more teams, new scouting zones, new training camps, lots of new graphic and revised stats. Basically, you get everything in one package. Also, everything has been tested which should ensure that no one experience any problems -- so, what are you waiting for? Your game screams for this -- a playable DB, making career playing so much better :)
Yes, there's actually a new patch coming up. It will be called 1.0.3.0, and it's currently being tested by the beta testers. It's undecided when it'll be released. It all depends on what the beta testers report - if many bugs are found it will take some time. If not, it can be released soon. But as said, no one knows -- but it will come. It's also worth mentioning that the beta patch is available to all users - both CD, DL and German. Hopefully, this also means the three different patches will be released at the same time. Currently, the Germans don't have a 1.0.2.1, meaning they can't play online with other nationalities, but hopefully this will change once the 1.0.3.0 is released.
Here's the preliminary fix list - and yes, it can be changed. This only counts for the beta patch. However, the last few times the preliminary fix list has been 100 % equal to the final fix list.
