The Bug Report Thread

Hi, I'm playing 1.14 because I can't get 1.15 to sim more than two seasons.

I see that my recently drafted prospects all have a signing deadline of -4713.

Also, after my first season there is no trading at all. This goes on for as long as I play. Kind of frustrating.

Has anyone had success playing multiple seasons with 1.15 on a mac? I'd like to be able to trade - especially when I have players who won't re-sign.

1.5.20 - Playing Atlanta Thrashers and just finished the expansion draft, after the draft the 1999 draft the Thrashers don't have 1st pick overall and they call it 1th round pick in trade offers through the game instead of 1st.

This is being addressed. Thanks for the update though.

Hi. I'm using a magic mouse and have a few annoying issues.

1) often it takes more then one or two clicks to get a button to work.
2) the radio buttons are very sensitive to the mouse's swiping actions. for example if I am setting a line's minutes after I choose the time I want and move the cursor to another place on the screen the radio button will often move with the mouse action.

If this is a setting with my computer please let me know if there is anything I can do to change in settings/preferences and I'll happily do it.

thanks!

I guess that is Mac? What exactly is a magic mouse (me = no Mac user )?

It's made by Apple. Yup, A Mac.

I have traded picks with other teams and all seems well until the end of the season. As soon as the season is ended all the draft picks for the upcoming draft go back to the original teams, I cant even edit them anytime I try and save my changes disapear, I can edit any future years but not the upcoming one. also when I try to trade up none of the picks are available only the ones for future years. i have now played 2 seasons and the same thing happened both times

Some issues for me

1) I was playing with the Ottawa 67's in the OHL and I was simming through most of my first season. In the second season the team decided to hire another 'Team Manager' even though I am the team manager. Now there are two team managers... doesn't seem to do anything or break the game but he gets the credit for everything

2) In the OHL I can participate in the OHL Priority Draft by going to the League Menu and clicking on the draft. The draft screen comes on and I can start. For the Import Draft I can turn on the draft screen but there are no players on the list. Nothing I do can fix this except by clicking "Finish Today" and then it tells me to do the draft and it brings up the draft screen with a populated list of draftees.

3. The KHL still requires that I have two players under the age of 20. It makes the league largely unplayable.

4. After two years in the game there are no scouts left to hire. It makes a career oriented game pointless as you'll join a team that has only two scouts and you don't can't hire any more scouts. There should be regens for staff, retiring players becoming staff, staff retiring, etc.

I get this problem as well but I am only using the trackpad (touchpad) on my MPB. Clicking anything usually requires more than one click or to find that 'magic spot'.

I have this issue as well and I'm using a regular 3 button USB mouse, so I don't think it's exclusive to the magic mouse.

I will suggest to the 'powers that be' to create a specific thread for Mac users. This way ALL the issues are segregated into one easy-to-find location.

This way Markus only has to monitor in just one place since he deals with the Mac issues more than anyone I've seen. Also, Mac users can see issues specifically for their OS.

I've been bringing this up periodically since the first release of the game yet I never get a reply. I was running an historical season, 1975. When I try to trade a player, I only get the option of the opposing teams players or rights. There is no option to trade a player for draft picks. Any ideas why this is happening or if there are any plans to fix this?

I will check into this and report back what I find.

could you maybe make a screenie? I´m playing historical mode for months now (all eras) and never had this happen - trading players for any combination of players/picks/rights or just for picks works perfect for me in any year.
i´d be glad to help you out on this if possible

Here you go, I hope it's as simple as I've been doing something wrong. Let me know what you think:

Hi!
I just started out playing Franchise Hockey Manager and I will point some bugs I noticed in the game so you can improve it.
I tried to see if other threads were talking about this, but there are so many

Bugs:

- Attendance figures (in my first game I had 4 people watching, in the second 1. I play Bracknell Bees from the EPIHL).

- Statistics (I can't see the stats meaning when I roll my mouse pointer over when I'm in the roster menu. I can see them when I'm in the lineup menu). Even for a stats expert, it sure helps to see what those stats mean.

- First Goals and Game Winning Goals are not being recorded

- We can't sort all the stats, either ascending nor descending, in the game when we click them.

- PPA is not explained even in the lineup menu

- I've seen errors in some words: "Shhoting Range", for example

- When I tried to simulate a game a message showed my lineup was not correct. Hard to figure out that I had minutes assigned to a non existant 4th line. How did that came up?! Make a warning, tell us where!

- In game, we can't see the bottom of the screen. I don't see half the bottom team players who are on ice.

- No sound at all! I can't even see when a goal is scored. You could highlight it.

There are other details, but these are the ones I just noticed.

I've been playing OOTP13 for a long time, and FHM is not even close to it's quality so far.
Please make it better.
Thank you

I have just run a test on this issue, using the very same teams, and found no issue here. Check you PM and I'll show you my test results.

Some details needed:

• Did you find these in Modern era or Historic?

• The 'Shhoting Range" grammar error, where did you see that?

• The sorting issue is being addressed.

• Sound issue is common knowledge; no sound yet.

• The 'stats' meaning, I believe you mean the context help when you hover over a stat header? Yes, this also is a known issue that I hope gets fixed.

• The attendance, or lack thereof, is also being looked at.

I got thru maybe two weeks of first season and then kept getting white screen on start up. The task manager is the only way I can get back to my desktop. I have tried: uninstalling, reinstalling, downloading the install from web site,reinstalling beta version, changing window compatibility, and waiting an extended period to see if the white screen will get to splash page. It seem like I can't open the program. It is strange to all of a sudden just get that. What also was weird was on a patch installation( the latest), I also lost all my saved games from the ootp baseball side of the house. Luckily, I had a backup and only lost a week of game time, but that is when I was lost to FHM w/ white screen. I was waiting for patch. I am worried that it will not work after doing a full uninstall and reinstall of current versions. I have windows 7. Any thoughts?

My game won't save. It keeps resetting to August 15, 2013. I simmed about a month and made a bunch of trades, saved the game, exited the game. When I restarted it was all reset to August 15 with original rosters.

[Richie Daggers Crime]

Have you tried saving it under a new name rather than overwriting the existing save?
