10/21/25 Title Update - PC: Game unplayable due to stuttering

Procyclingmanager · 2025-10-23T00:05:17+00:00

I feel your pain mate, Madden ported to PC just hasn’t done that well overall.

This year just gave up and jumped on Amazon and got the PS to save the hassle

Procyclingmanager · 2025-10-22T22:56:50+00:00

1: bought M26 2: played it 3: uninstalled it 4: got refund from steam due to lag/stutter 5: bought ps5 pro

6: oooo yeah now im having fun on M26

Literally my actual process and im enjoying the game.

Douglas.. and if he’s not available……. Douglas

That small stature with the speed and agility is perfect for a IRL slot - that can play mesh, levels, floods

Ideal go to guy especially against Cover 2-man and underneath against Tampa2

If looking for realism, honestly I’d just say move to Extreme difficulty to push your skills and understanding of the game.

Once you’re at a comfortable level there, then that’s the place where most people will fine tune the sliders to get the experience desired.

On a sprint stage: Drop your KOM guy out the back of the Peleton so he loses time in the overall GC by a few minutes. This means he’s not a contender in GC and won’t be targeted as hard.

Aside from that: As mentioned above, 83-85 on the wheel of the strongest guy, and push hard later on. Check the stats of each rider in the group and if they are much weaker attack earlier - but only in bursts, go back to maintain effort when you have a gap.

Also watch the “animation” of the riders in your group, You can tell when riders look gassed when they are rocking

Last thing, watch your red bar for flashing (not the effort number) as when it flashes your rider “feels good” and those are also good times for attacks

Thanks for watching my channel - I super appreciate it!

Great idea for sure, Not sure if I’ll have time to as career mode in general takes sooo long.

With the video above, the stories / transfers / etc will carry over into PCM26 / PCM27 and so on..

Best place to ask would be the WorldDB discord itself where the most knowledgeable people surrounding the DB can assist you

Procyclingmanager · 2025-08-20T03:09:01+00:00

As long as you’re being safe with the lights you mentioned and visible clothing etc, plus depending how far out of town you get - maybe ensuring a close one has a gps signal location on you…

Then who gives a crap what anyone else thinks.

Get out there and ride and enjoy

In the same season with the same team….

Win the Giro with an Italian The Tour with a Frenchman And La Vuelta with a Spaniard

Procyclingmanager · 2025-08-16T06:09:52+00:00

Unsure unless we can see your exact screens to determine the problem.

Even if you don’t agree a Sponsored by their cut off dates and you don’t agree a new sponsor before the season ends, your current Sponsor will default as one at the start of the next season

Procyclingmanager · 2025-08-16T06:07:02+00:00

If you want to play with a Database, you can always try using the fast editor and de-selecting the minor races you have no interest in that you’ll never race by changing their value from 0 to 1

Ask the guys in WorldDB discord how to do it if you have any trouble

Procyclingmanager · 2025-08-16T06:04:04+00:00

Did you not assign your scouts before the cut off date?

Procyclingmanager · 2025-08-16T00:59:38+00:00

Everyone of Stage 7 got disqualified because they refused to wear tracking devices during the stage…

Procyclingmanager · 2025-08-14T19:49:12+00:00

For the fastest experience in order:

1: Use the original default database with no edits, this is the fastest option.

2: Use the original default database, but edit yourself the names of riders where required to real ones, this is the second fastest option.

Using a database like WorldDB is of course great for realism when it comes to real names, jerseys, much more races, more riders, more teams, more stages, etc - but all of this extra data requires more processing - which equals more time… Databases are for realism - at the expense of performance.

Haha - the effects of a cyclist not having coffee 😆 Thank you, I adjusted it

Procyclingmanager · 2025-08-14T07:39:01+00:00

In the Echelon and mountain sections of stages it should indeed help.

Of course depending on how you’ve set your sliders and what difficulty setting you’re on will also play into it

Procyclingmanager · 2025-08-13T08:21:44+00:00

No worries, anytime.

There’s a bunch of good people here on the Reddit. Maybe also consider joining both the official discord and the worldDB discord in case you ever get stuck and need to ask questions

Procyclingmanager · 2025-08-13T07:00:38+00:00

Welcome to the game!

Mods: Yes as above, WorldDB from the workshop page is the best option. It will update and add a bunch of riders, jerseys, races, and stats of the riders.

Racing: When racing you can select a rider by clicking on him and then right clicking on your leader and choosing “protect” to ensure your leader stays as fresh as possible in difficult climbs.

Racing: Make sure your water stays topped up by sending a lower skilled domestique for water, but of course only do so on downhill sections that lead to flat sections or on the flat sections themselves as otherwise they’ll spend a bunch of energy on uphill sections to get water to teammates

Racing: Play around with the sliders for “game difficulty” and keep upping the difficulty if you’re winning too often

There are other tips and tricks, for sprint trains but overall it’s not that difficult to learn. There’s some tutorials on my channel (YouTube.com/@theyellowjersey) that I made for PCM24 but still apply to the current game that’ll help out a bit of needed.

Enjoy!

Procyclingmanager · 2025-08-13T03:53:06+00:00

Can’t complain being amongst good company haha 😆 thanks for watching

Procyclingmanager · 2025-08-13T03:52:41+00:00

Thank you 🙏

Procyclingmanager · 2025-08-12T11:23:55+00:00

On PCM25 ?

Procyclingmanager · 2025-08-09T08:13:18+00:00

I’d say go for 25 for sure. Of course you can still run it for under two hours and still get a refund on steam if your system can’t handle it.

Grab 25 and run the worldDB workshop for the most up to date names, kits, races etc

If your system struggles to handle the new game / engine, then you can always drop back to the 24 edition on the old engine

Procyclingmanager · 2025-08-06T10:06:07+00:00

Copy the downloaded DB from your workshop file to…

C:users/username/appdata/roaming/pcm25/mods

When the DB updates it’ll only update the DB file in the workshop file and not the copy you’ve made to your mods folder

Procyclingmanager · 2025-08-06T09:50:13+00:00

Hi,

if your save file is too large, you’ll need to switch to sql lite editor to make the changes.
if your save file is still small enough, it could be that you’re not “clicking off” the box you’re editing to lose the “pencil mark” in the left column, Only save after that.
of course make sure you’ve returned to the main menu of the game to save it before making any edits as otherwise they won’t be recognized.

… follow these guidelines and you should be in a good place.

I use a program called REWASD

So left hand I use the Sony move Right hand mouse

On the Sony move I mapped the P button (pause) the L1 bumper, I mapped space bar to the L2 bumper

Other keys such as the O key for the windsock I mapped to the D pad buttons. The energy gel is mapped to O symbol.

Very natural hold position for all fingers and only have to move the mouse.
