- [p]Open Steam > Go to your Library[/p]
- [p]Right-click on Pro Cycling Manager 25 > Click Properties[/p]
- [p]Go to the Betas tab and select open-beta from the dropdown[/p]
- [p]Improved AI for flat/hilly stages with a small climb near the end: the player could too easily win or even monopolize the top positions in the stage.[/p]
- [p]Newgens: Improved limit/potential calculations to ensure riders develop more balanced attributes over multiple seasons.[/p]
- [p]Sponsors: Fixed a rare case where a sponsor offer could be invalid (showing a “label error” and an offer of €0).[/p]
- [p]Form: Fixed form peaks that could disappear after quitting and relaunching the game.[/p]
- [p]The newgen fix only applies to riders generated after the update. In the 2025 season, riders born in 2007 are generated on January 1st. Therefore, if you are in a game in February 2025, those riders will not benefit from the changes. However, riders born in 2008 (generated on January 1st, 2026) will. [/p]
- [p]Regarding flat and hilly stages: even though the improvements are significant, more work will be needed in the future. This is a complex topic requiring deeper changes, which were not possible to include in this patch or in the short term. At this stage, we cannot confirm whether a future patch will address this specifically, further evaluation is ongoing.[/p]
- [p]About the occasional stuck animations: this issue is being looked into, but we cannot confirm with 100% certainty. It will not be fixed in patch 1.08.1.[/p][p][/p]
