Steam problem found or Firefox?

demjansk1942 · 01-06-2014, 08:08 PM

I am brand new to the game but play a lot of computer games. I purchased the game through Steam for starters. I played a game and after it finished I want ed to do the following.

1. Open the boxscore in a external browser (worked)
2. Boxscore is displayed and then while using Firefox browser I tried to send the boxscore as an email to someone but Firefox reports a error message.

It wouldn't allow me to send the boxscore. Now, I went back into the game and it didn;t save my first game!!!!! Oh no and the other changes I made!! Do you have to leave the game and save it?

Not sure about the boxscore, I've never tried to send one and only view it with the in-game browser.

The game does autosave when you exit. You can also save your currently open game at anytime in the dropdown menu. I don't have game open now but IIRC it is the upper left dropdown that has the save option. If playing long sessions its not a bad idea to occasionally save "on the fly" using the menu option. Nothing like playing for a few hours and then have a power glitch that results in you losing your whole session.

Hope that helps.

Thanks sweed, bummer I played a great first game of the season and I lost it. I placed a few other posts on the new player section and would like to create lineups and also play the 1969 season.

I hope I can get some answers as I know you guys have great knowledge about this game, looks great.

By the way, when I get the manager report, do you mess around with the minor league coaching positions?

I use the in-game browser, and, yes, I do fill and improve all of my minor league personnel.

I noticed another thing when the game comes up on Steam, I clicked on the view video tutorials and it sent me to a "Bad error webpage notification? No direct link to the videos.
