Game Keep Crashing All The Sudden

BrandonianTheGreat · 04-29-2014, 02:19 AM

Not sure exactly what the problem is.

It has worked fine over the last week or two that I have been playing it. The game is fully up-to-date and the only change I can think of that was made to my computer was a windows update. I thought maybe that would be the problem, but wasn't sure if that would effect it.

Pretty much, I've been on a team in the OHL as their GM and I made it through the entire season with no issues at all, whatsoever. Then, during my first playoff game I clicked the little play button to go to the next period and a window popped up saying "windows is searching for a fix to the problem" and then after a few seconds it had me close. I figure it was nothing so I loaded the game back up and managed to finish the game. However, I started the next game and about halfway through the period I paused it to switch up some tactics and when I clicked "tactics" it did the same thing.

I really love this game so I want to keep it working and I'm not sure what is causing these problems.

If Needed I have windows 7.

Any and all suggestions/responses will be appreciated! Thanks guys!

We'd probably need to have a look at the save file to see what exactly is going wrong - there was a problem with the 'report' button in the game view that was fixed in the last patch, but I don't know of anything that would be causing crashes at other times when you're watching a game. There are instructions for uploading it here, or if you want, you can just zip up the save and put it on a public filesharing site (rapidshare, filelink, dropbox, etc.) and send me a message with the link to it.

Okay, I just went ahead and sent the .zip file link in a private message to you! Check it out and let me know if you find anything wrong when you get a chance!

Thanks for the help!

So far I don't get the crash re-produced here. Anything special you do just before it crashes (like line changes, ...)?

The only thing I can think of that might be different is I tend to alt+tab out a lot, whether it be to switch to the next song on spotify or reply to someone on facebook. Idk if doing that too much can cause it?

But, at one point It would literally just do it to me, and all I'd be doing is going into the next period. So idk. Maybe it was just buggy for awhile there cause it has been alright today so far.

Just one more question if you don't mind...

It appears that NONE of the computer teams offer me trades at all. Is that not implemented into the game? Or do they just not want my players? lol
