Game Crashing in Preseason

[jjb13]

Hi, I am a new owner of FHM10. I have started a custom league and after getting to the preseason, my save won't go past 9/6/23. Every time I try to sim 9/7 or past, the game shuts down. Thanks in advance for any assistance!

I know FHM11 just came out but is FHM10 still being supported? I have uploaded my game file, PM'd, emailed, haven't heard anything...anything else I need to do?

What's the name of the file you uploaded?

jjb13 game file.zip, I believe. If you don't see it, PM me and I can re-upload. Thank you!

Got it. There seems to be a large number of retired players stuck in the lineups of several teams; I'm not sure how that happened, but it's causing about half the games to crash due to invalid lineups.

It can be fixed, but it'll be a bit tedious:
-go to the league schedule screen, and click on Sim for each game; when you hit a game where a team that roster problem, you'll get a crash
-after the crash, reload and go to the roster screen of each team in the crashing game and click (from the Action menu) "AI Setup Organization"
-then check the lines screen for a player who's listed on that screen but is actually retired (he won't show up on any roster screens, just the lines screen)
-once you've identified which player is the problem, go into his edit screen, unretire him and save, then retire him again.

That'll clear him out of the lines completely. save the game at this point, then start simming again to find the next crash; it looks to be a problem in about half of the scheduled games. Once you find it, repeat the steps above to identify and dispose of the problem player. Then re-run AI setup organization on the team to fix the resulting roster hole.
-Once you've done that, that game will be fixed, but you'll still need to check every other game that day for the same problem, and fix it if you find any
-once you've got them all, you should be able to continue without a crash (but any teams not scheduled on that day may still have the problem, so you'll heed to do this every day for a week or so to catch all of the fixes.
