A save with where it's occurring, or when a crash happens, would be extremely helpful in getting these sorts of issues fixed.
The uploading instructions, if anyone needs them: How to FTP files to OOTP Developments - Kayako eSupport Help Desk Software
(Use the /fhm directory instead of the OOTP one. It's also helpful if you include a short text file describing your problem in case we have trouble finding the forum post.)
And if you can't use the ftp server, posting the save on a filesharing site and giving us a link to it works, too. |
Let me preface this by saying that I have received a refund for my game and I am essentially out of the FHM 13 process for now. I tried to be patient, I tried to post bugs and stuff when I could but I am sorry I did not pay $30 to beta test this game for 2 years.
The line of thinking above is really a smack in the face for people who paid money for this game. Perhaps the reason no one has uploaded a save game in a month is because people are sick of essentially paying OOTP to beta test this game. Or perhaps even people are just tired of playing a game which is "unplayable" or "not fun" depending on your definition of each.
I am certainly glad someone has taken a chance to enter the sim hockey world but unfortunately I cannot get behind the thinking of the devs of FHM 13. All of us here have paid money to play the game, but really what we are asked to do is invest money in the game and work for free as beta testers. That is fine and I understand many are willing and able to do that to support this game and such, but frankly many of us can not do that and should not be sold on the idea that this game would be playable or finished and we should not have been charged for it. If the devs and OOTP would have come out and said they were looking for people to invest and Beta test for 2 years I wouldn't have a problem, but I do have a problem of trying to do this under the mask of releasing a finished working product.
I know the defenders will chime in here and attack me but I just wanted to get this off my chest and this venting thread seemed to be the best avenue. I will definitely be keeping tabs on the development of FHM and hopefully in a few years it reaches the point of being a solid entry into the sim world. But I just cannot support the business model of FHM 13, and how the game has been pushed to the market.
