As tradition goes, PCM.daily will release an updated DB, reflecting the rider and team changes of 2011. And as always, we're looking for people who are interested in helping out with the DB.
Basically, we're looking for anyone who's capable of helping. More specifically, we need some graphic artists capable of doing minor graphics (logos, mini logos, accessories), equipment designers and stage makers. We could also use some input on rider stats (stat maker) and if you're experienced in DB editing, there's also plenty of stuff to do for you.
If you believe you're capable of helping out and wish to do so, feel free to send me a PM, explaining what you can help us with.
Please keep in mind that we only respond to those we invite to the DB Team.
Every year after the release of PCM, there's always a handful of gamers who claim to be able to make a much better product. Do I even need to mention the glorius project of FizzleFX?
Anyway, here's your chance to turn talk into action. Cyanide's looking for both Level Designers and Level Design Scripters. They do have a whole lot of requirements, but if you're interested in cycling, can speak English or French and can program, you're (basically) good to go ;)
Cyanide released patch 1.0.4.2 a couple of days ago, but apparently, it causes more troubles than it fixes.
Several of our members have reported that the patch messes up the sprint again. Now, it's impossible to pass the lead-out riders, meaning that whoever starts the sprint first wins.
It's also being reported that there are problems with the stage editor. With patch 1.0.4.2, it's more unstable, and stages that have been created with the patched editor generally take a lot longer to load than stages created with patch 1.0.4.1.
Yes, I know that we've said this before, but this time, we might be telling the truth: The last patch for Pro Cycling Manager 2010 has been released. Actually, that's not really true either -- Cyanide hasn't released it, but since it's on Focus' server, we guess that they would have released it, had Cyanide's server not been down.
So, what does it fix? In the previous news article, we said that it fixed some AI stuff related to the sprints. Did we get any wiser with the release? No. The patch itself comes with a note saying: "Minor modifications during sprints."
That doesn't really tell us much, but since you don't have to restart your career to benefit from the fixes, you might as well install it. Links below.
It's been a while since the last statement, but Cyanide has now confirmed that yet another patch, this one being called 1.0.4.2, is going to be released.
The patch won't contain a whole lot of new stuff, and neither will it require you to start a new career. It does fix a few sprinting issues, and although the exact fixes have not been announced, we're guessing that it's fixing the "sudden stop"-bug. Other than that, we have no idea.
