So, along with this isuue, patch 1 will fix the following:
- Crash when clicking on player news stories while playing out a game
- Game stuck when DH is ejected
- Toned down suspensions resulting from brawls
- Fixed position selection menu disappearing at times
- Fixed foreigner rule selection in league setup

Expect the release this weekend

Also, this does not interfere with our original plans for the first patch, which now becomes the second one and will be released early July as planned and includes better sound files, updated rosters and more bugfixes & tweaks.

Cheers,
Markus

Thanks for the update.

Brilliant Markus......now do what Muppetus Galacticus says, and soon!

Can we please get aggregate team totals added to each report? In other words, when I go to reports and look at how my guys hit in June, it would be great to see all the at bats 2bs and obp etc, added together for the whole team at the bottom. I know it is not a big deal but it would make this stats guy very happy

Markus it takes a really long time to change skins. Sometimes the game freezes.

Will this come with the demo? Please?

Is there more information on what this bug is?

Hi Markus,
I also experienced the L/R split rating problem when I imported a ootp8 league. Then I realized it's more than that. My players' ratings are changed quite a bit and upon further investigation what happened is it took each player's vs. LHP rating and made that the player's overall rating.
I'm on a Mac, if that makes a difference to your patch work.

thanks,
Frank

Are the major 2008 Roster glitches going to be fixed in this quick patch as well? I ask because I'll delay starting my league if that's the case...

If it isn't already in the game, how difficult would it be to add a denotation of sort that tells us that a player is fictitious

(perhaps a different color name whenever and wherever the name is listed)

Claymore, this patch should include some MLB roster fixes, but I would venture to say that the following patch will see more substantial improvements in that area. Markus kind of surprised us with his desire to get a patch out this weekend!

Any word on the Mac crash issue when changing resolution?

Not yet, Squid, sorry.

Everyone please bear in mind, this isn't a "we're going to fix everything we've seen to date" kind of patch (that will be the next one). Markus was very concerned that the OOTP 8 import was messing up the L/R splits for those leagues, so that was the driving factor behind this move. The other fixes that are in for this patch are there because we could squeeze them in!

Thanks,

Steve

Thanks Marcus for looking into the R/L ratings... I've been waiting to play until this has been fixed. I'm very grateful that you are possibly getting the patch to fix this weekend

[battists]

Just FYI, clarified the OP a bit:

(Clarification from Steve: at the last possible moment on Sunday, before the latest possible time zone turns to Monday.

Also, we will be getting this patch on our mirrors IN ADVANCE, so we reserve the right to delay the patch until Monday if we need that time to get the mirrors/torrents working. )

I'm willing to do whatever it takes to get this fixed.This really has the potential to render the game unplayable for me in the long run which would be a shame because its really a remarkable piece of software.

That's the part to remember. I don't recall an instance of any game freeze posts that weren't followed up later - if they bothered to post -with "it finally loaded after a long time."

I'd suggest you do what so many have already done, but failed. Find a way to reproduce it. If you can get it to happen under the same circumstances, even more times than not, and describe exactly what those circumstances were - so others can make it happen too - then there's a shot at finding out what's behind it.

A lot of people, including myself, who have reported this can describe the situation in which it occured, but haven't been able to 'get it to happen' again under the same circumstances or those events simply don't happen again. I don't know. But until an instance is documented and able to be reproduced (don't preach to the choir - I, too, hate that phrase) then the devil will still live in the details undiscovered.

That doesn't mean it isn't a problem.

Thanks. There goes that vacation.

Cool, I was only worries about the really bad ones, not a perfect set.
