Game crashes during inning change with photo packs

sdazzle · 03-12-2026, 06:57 PM

I'm hoping I'm reporting this properly. I was able to duplicate this crash consistenly. I added a photo pack to my game yesterday and with player photos turned on, the game will crash every time during an inning change. If I just display information, it doesn't crash when I advance the inning. And with facegens, it also will not crash. But with a photo pack installed and showing during a game, it crashes the minute I progress to the next inning. I also play pitch by pitch in my games. I did not test this with one pitch mode enabled.
This is on a mid 2018 MacBook Pro.

Can you try turning facegen off while using the photos and see if that helps?

The game may be getting confused if there are facegens or not. We'll definitely need to take a look at this and fix it up, but hopefully at least that will help you get through the crashes in the short term.

That did work. It doesn't look the best. But it worked. And turning the photos off with just displaying info works too.

I had the same problem. Mac Pro M3. I added a photos file, after I added this the game crashed on start game every time. Read this post, turned facegen off left photos on and everything works now.

Yeah, with the patch, it turned Facegens back on and got the crash right when I started a game. Didn't even get to change innings. But this time it kept crashing until I turned on the photos on the field versus information only and also turning Facegens off.

We'll have this fixed up in the upcoming patch.
