This is a compilation of all of my post in the "Crash" Thread, all pretain to a Historical League I've been running for 10 seasons


Quote:
Got my 1st crash. It happens on the in-game date of June 30th, when the Free Agent file comes out. The only way to get past that date is to tell it “Finish Today” There are options in the Sim until…. (Game date, Week, , Month, Year). But any choice I make from that area causes a crash. And the Sim until event area is empty.
I even tried to trick it and “sim until…date (July 1st) but it crashed. The only way to get past june 30th is to select “Finish today” Once you get to July 1st all of the “Sim to Events” show back up and it’s good to go.
Once I get to July 1st I can sim all the way through everything until the next free agent file (which stops once again at June 30th), but the only way to get from june 30th to july 1st is to choose “Finish Today”

I ran into a crash I can’t get past, I have started at the Historical beginning (47/48) and set my team control to my assistant coach. I’ve made it all the way to THU Aug 1, 1957 and have encountered an unavoidable crash. No matter what I select the game crashes. I was simming the off season and I hit esc to stop the sim as I noticed that Gordie Howe was a Free Agent (again) after viewing his profile I was unable to continue the simulation. I can’t advance using any item in the Play Menu. I have this file saved if you need it.
Also in this same file as I look at Gordie Howe I realize via his career stats that he didn't play in the 50/51, 51/52, 52/53 Seasons He played in the 53/54 seasons but then he didn't play again in the 54/55,55/56 or 56/57 season. All the while he was a free agent in those seasons yet no one signed on of the greatest players ever!

So Gordie Howe has only played in 4 of the 10 seasons I've simmed so far

And now on probably my 15th attempt to proceed the game moves along to the next day via the "finish day" click. Guess we'll see if Gordie playes in this 57/58 season

Same file, somewhere between Aug 1st 1957and Sept 23rd 1957,4 teams have disappeared. The only 2 teams left in the league are Montreal and Toronto. I have the file saved at both spots and I’m going back and try to determine at what point this happens. It kept crashing when it got to the Pre-Season and that’s when I realized there were 4 teams missing
