Game crashes when siming

nate7891 · 04-17-2004, 09:35 AM

I am trying to sim past a day but the game crashes on the exact same day every time.(7/20/04) It says " OOTP6 has encountered a problem and needs to close". Every tiem it says that. Can i fix it somehow?

If all teams are not set to "computer ownership" do that and try to sim. Let me know the outcome.

nate7891 · 04-17-2004, 09:48 AM

it still crashes...i tried making a new league with a different roster set but when i try to load a different league it crashes there too..so im stuck with the one league crashing and when i try to load a different league it crashes there also

Steve Kuffrey · 04-17-2004, 09:54 AM

Are you naming them each a unique league name?

nate7891 · 04-17-2004, 09:55 AM

i named one league astros.lg and the other new.lg so yes im naming them with unique names

Steve Kuffrey · 04-17-2004, 09:59 AM

Try this, save your leagues to a different location. Then through the windows control panel uninstall the game. Then reinstall it and move your leagues back into the v6 directory and try again.

nate7891 · 04-17-2004, 09:59 AM

do i need to unlisence it first?

Steve Kuffrey · 04-17-2004, 10:02 AM

I think that you can do this w/o but probably better to unlicense also.

A fix that worked for me is to:

1) Isolate the game that is causing the crash by clicking "sim game" for each individual game
2) Go to the schedule editor (League->League Setup->Edit Schedule)
3) Delete the offending game(s)
4) Go to October 4th or the next off day and reschedule the game(s)
5) Try to resim the day

Good Luck!

I also have the same crash problem. The game almost always crashed when a game with a human-owned team is simmed after I put someone on 60-day DL. However, it can still seldom pass the sim but will still fail on the next day. If you want to figure out the problem, I can mail you the league file.

nate7891 · 04-17-2004, 07:50 PM

i deleted the game that was causing the problem..but now another game is causing problems..do i just need to delete every game that doesnt work? cuz thats not a good way to play the game(and it crashes just about every other game)

nate7891 · 04-17-2004, 08:08 PM

also,i tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it...it just crashes.

Steve Kuffrey · 04-17-2004, 08:47 PM

What "type" of league are you using? Different types or the same each time?

nate7891 · 04-17-2004, 08:53 PM

the same

nate7891 · 04-17-2004, 08:54 PM

or actually one is a career one and one is a just a regular one using the updated roster set

Steve Kuffrey · 04-17-2004, 09:17 PM

Ok, try using a custom w/ fictional players. Also, check your other thread about first pitch crash.

nate7891 · 04-17-2004, 09:21 PM

ok,i already tried turning all the sound off but it doesnt work...ill try the fictional thing

nate7891 · 04-17-2004, 09:47 PM

ok,i simmed about 40 games into the fictional league and it hasent crashed. So is there any way i could get my players and standings where it does crash into the league where it doesnt crash?but when i try to load a different league it crashes

nate7891 · 04-18-2004, 09:44 PM

it worked for awhile but nowabout every other game crashes..and i checked the depth charts and all that
