[Open Beta] Patch 9.1

[UPDATE 2]

This update (Version 01.08.03) includes a key fix for the hardlock/freeze issue.

A special thanks to the players who shared their dump files with us! Your contributions were invaluable in helping us identify and fix this issue.


---------------------------

[UPDATE]

Following the rollout of Version 01.08.01, which introduced sprint improvements but also caused unexpected in-race crashes, we temporarily rolled back to Version 01.08.00 to ensure a stable experience.

📢 Now, the Version 01.08.02 is available in Beta!

Fix for in-race crashes introduced in 01.08.01 🙇‍♂️

Thank you for your patience and feedback. Let us know if you encounter any further issues!

  • Watts difference for attacks & very high efforts between top and average riders slighlty increased.
  • AI improvements (classics only): On hilly/mountain classics with difficult terrain on the second half, best teams are more prone to set a stronger tempo far from the end and leaders may ride more aggresively.
Sprints improvements:

  • Fix several physical and energetical bugs.
Other AI fixes:
  • Fixed bugs that reduced in several situations the willingness to attack for leaders at times when it was appropriate to do so.

Patch 7

Hello everyone,

A new patch for Pro Cycling Manager 2024 is now available!

[h3]Version 01.06.02[/h3]

Race
  • More differences between climbers and non-climbers for better selection in hills, medium mountains, and mountain stages.
  • Fix: Sometimes mountain stages in the Tour are ridden at a slow pace except for the last few kilometers, resulting in a non-selective stage with low-stat (mountain) riders hanging on and losing little time to leaders/pure climbers.
  • Fix: About 20 km from the finish of a flat stage, trains often break away from the peloton.
  • Fix: Hill stages: sometimes leaders' teams didn’t set a sufficient pace approaching the finish.
  • Fix: During sprints, non-sprinter teammates were occasionally faster than top sprinters.
  • Fix: Sometimes the first rider to launch a sprint is not followed, with each rider doing their own sprint independently.
  • Improvement: Better teammate management for leaders on mountain stages (basic teammates were sometimes replaced too soon by top climbers).
  • Improvement: Teams with a top leader (e.g., Pogi, Vingegaard) now use top puncheurs as domestiques in hilly stages instead of giving them stage-win roles.
  • Improvement: AI sprinters now start their sprint slightly later.
  • Improved teammate selection for basic work in early mountain stages for super teams, preserving the best climbers.
  • Fixes/Improvements: Several minor AI behavior tweaks.
Datas
  • Added 2024 race route for “Il Lombardia”.
  • Added missing jerseys/mini-jerseys for a few sponsors.
Career
  • Fix: Visibility points for the last stage of a tour were not accounted for (only final general classification).
  • Fix: AI teams didn’t renew multi-sponsor deals. They can now renew all sponsors (though they can still retain just one for variety).
  • Fix: Database size increased too much each season, slowing the game, and in rare cases (15+ seasons with mods of 200-300 teams), it became too large to load. Low-potential free agents now have a higher chance of leaving on January 1st (depending on age and potential).
  • Fix: To avoid further issues, a maximum of 10,000 to 13,000 cyclists has been set (depending on the number of teams in the DB). If this limit is reached, only free agents with low potential will be ejected.
Pro Cyclist
  • Fix: Revelation of teammates' attributes through seasons was very slow, despite the information skill being at max level.
Various
  • Fix: "Grand Slam" and "Pantheon" achievements were unlocking when an AI rider/team achieved them (they should only unlock for human players).

Dear managers,

A new patch for Pro Cycling Manager 2024 is now available!

[h3]Version 01.05.03[/h3]

  • Fix: Manual planning/rider's race registrations being overwritten on race day, the previous fix did not fix ongoing games, only new ones.
  • Fix: AI Teams stopped investing in facilities after renewing/changing sponsors.
  • Fix: Added visibility points for individual and team time trials.

More fixes (Manager, 3D race) are coming soon!
