Dear players,A new Open Beta patch for Pro Cycling Manager 25 (version 01.08.02) is now available on Steam! 🚴🛠 Patch NoteRace • Fixed an issue where AI riders frequently changed their sprinting line, sometimes blocking other sprinters or the player.Game Engine • Fixed a bug that could sometimes cause animations to freeze.📘 Additional Notes We’ve removed a previous fix that aimed to improve AI behavior on flat and hilly stages ending with a descent. Unfortunately, it introduced a more serious issue, AI riders were barely braking in downhill corners, leading to several unwanted side effects.This means a small step back in AI behavior for those specific finishes. However, that reverted change was only one part of a larger set of improvements, version 01.08.02 still performs better overall than 01.07.00.We’re exploring other ways to address this without breaking game balance.
