Game crashes after introducing new major league in fictional league

Hello devs!

I am having issues with a custom game where I have a fictional league. It is the 1988 (October 4th) opening night, and I recently introduced a second major league in Europe called the World Hockey League as a KHL equivalent (I am not controlling a team in the league). However, it appears there is a problem with the league that stems from the salary cap in the league. It is a negative salary cap, so whenever I try to advance the day, the teams in the league are unable to advance as they can't get compliant, leading to the game crashing. If it's not salary cap, then it has to do with something in the WHL, as I can sim games in every other game, but as soon as I sim a game in the WHL, it crashes. I unfortunately can't change the salary cap as I am past the edit window.

It has been uploaded to the WinSCP as MLH P2 Zip.zip

Thank you!

I have also found this in another save that I made to test the bug. I am unable to add a new major league in a fictional game, and whenever it is July 1st the salary cap is shown to be normal. It only becomes negative when you simulate a day.

We fixed the save (and fixed the bug for the next FHM 12 update). I sent you a PM with the Download Link.
