The game has been released
Today, the game got off to a good start at its release date in France. A lot of happy French customers have bought the game and started posting their screenshots. On one day, a French thread with screenshots has reached 23 pages with submissions. Unfortunately, a few people have also reported problems with the .exe-file, but since no posts have been submitted to the official technical forum I guess it isn't that bad.
The release has also been followed up with the first correction downloads. First of all, there's the Ultrabase Real Name DB 1.0. It an untested real name DB for PCM, so it's still unsure if it really works. Yesterday, 6 jersey packs were released by the official jersey design team. PCM.daily have downloaded all the jerseys and collected them into one pack with all the other packs - the Corrected Jerseys Pack V1. It's essential for a even better experience :) Last, but definitely not least, there's DaniS' Initial Mod V1. It contains all the jerseys, all the right teams and names, photos for all the riders, correct secondary sponsors and lots more - basically all you need.
Still waiting to get your PCM? Well, as said, the French guys have released a lot of screenshots for your pleasure. You can see them by clicking here. And if that's not enough you can help me by reading for my classical studies exam ;)
As I warned you about earlier, we would move our domain to a new provider. That has now happened succesfully, and all of you should now be able to visit the site again :) In the upcoming days we will work on improving the site. We will move most of our files from the old server to the new server, meaning that you will get much better speeds than before. The server-move has also resulted in the come-back of "Random Screenshot", our very popular feature. All in all, we are now prepared better than ever for the future.
It's no secret that PCM.daily has had 2-3 amazing months with lots of activity and lots of new user registrations. For the same reason, we have got notice to quit by our current provider, meaning that we will have to move. This move can happen at any point throughout the upcoming 48 hours. When the site has moved you will get a message saying that the site is under maintenance, and that we are currently moving. Later that day, the site will be reopened.
This server move also means that we - in the future - will be able to have our files hosted at a much faster server with a lot of space (we will never run out! ;)). To start off with, most of our files will still be hosted at the old, slow server, but we will of course work on getting all files moved to the new server.
Sorry for the inconvenience - after all, it's for the sake of the website which would have been closed down on the 7th of July if we hadn't moved ;)
