Retired Scout

JPL86 · 01-17-2025, 09:23 AM

Custom Game:

On July 1st, I get a message that one of my scouts has retired. So i click on the scout (so I can see what country/region he is from) so I know where I need to hire a new scout from. When I click on him, a totally different person comes up.

I know this did not happen in FHM10 or before. This is a new bug in FHM11.

The game recycles internal database ID numbers for some staff and players for memory reasons. When you see that happening, it's pointing to the new guy with that ID. It'll happen more often with staff, particularly non-coach/GM staff, since their records don't get preserved as often as player histories will.

Ahhh, that makes sense (logical).

I guess it was just a coincidence that my league got to the size where it needed to start recycling ID's for the staff at about the same time I moved from FHM10 to FHM11.

Thanks.
