End-of-season progression CRASHING

Simon_Nesbit · 11-10-2004, 11:27 PM

I have had this problem in every game since upgrading to 6.11

If I start a new game, then when I get to the end of the season, and press continue, it crashes.

It goes through generating reports, generating team reports, and then crashes.

Have you deleted ANY files within the OOTP directory?

Exactly the same has happened to me and I haven't deleted any files...

I've been playing on both 6.10 and 6.11 and have discovered a crash that occurs at the end of every season I've completed. Basically what happens is that after the playoffs finish and I click the 'go to next season' option it goes through the generating league and team reports steps then it says proceeding to the next year....which is followed by the familiar 'C++ unexpected run time error' and crash.

From reverting to old versions I can work out that this probably occurs when it tries to process the free agents. After the crash I can continue the game but I completely lose the free agent and amateur draft phases and go straight into the Rule V draft. By this stage all those players who should have been free agents are automatically resigned for the same dollar amount through the season by the computer!

I've tried all those fixes which seem to alleviate some of the other crashes: enabling/disabling the sound+menu animation, checking the number of draft rounds, completely reinstalling the game, moving the draft to midseason etc and none of them work. If I go back to 6.03 then this problem never arises....

I this only happening to me? and does anyone have any idea how to solve this, I'm getting steadily more angry!

For those who are interested here are my PC stats:

Win XP Home SP2
60GB HD, 10GB free
3.2GHz Intel 4 processor
1GB RAM

I forgot to mention that I have Direct X 9.0

I'm getting a similar error ever since I downloaded 6.11

The game lets me go through 10-15 season, but eventually I get the annoying "Runtime Error - The application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way" message as well when proceeding to the next season. My solo leagues are always Finances Off, so I don't know about affecting free agents or not

I've reinstalled the game, then downloaded the patch again a couple of times.

Here are my vitals:
Win ME
20GB HD, 5GB free
3.2GHz Intel 4 processor
256KB RAM

Nothing is safe w/ ME as your OS.

Ok, I think I have eliminated 'most' problems.

With the 'original' ootp6 it works fine for post-season.

With 6.10, 6.11 and 6.03? it crashes.

I thought it was because it was my 'uber-league' (40 team, 234-game schedule), but it turns out it wasn't that, even the most basic leagues have the same problem.

So it's not anything to do with players having 255+ in any category (played a 10-game season), nor teams having too much/little money.

I've edited ages to be within reasonable levels (20-40), and ensured there are enough players to carry on next year (ie FA's).

Once the game crashes, I can reload it to the same point ('Advance to next year'), but if I change it to 'Replay' (league setup), the game hangs.

Also (this may be the cause), it would appear that it has actually simmed a full day past the postseason (there are double entries for awards), and each time I hit advance season it creates another day, and another entry!

Help?

Simon.
