Game Crashes Jan 2

Dkitson16 · 04-01-2023, 08:43 AM

File Name is "NHL REDO"

Can't get past Jan 1, 2008 in a Historical game.

This is an edited historical mode with all user created teams. (ie in 1917 I added teams and deleted all the original 4 teams).

I expand by 2 teams every 4 years.

Expanded by two teams in 2007.

This is the first time I had imbalanced conference sizes. (21 in east and 19 in east).

Auto save was set to monthly (ie the 2nd of the month). Even after disabled the game still crashed.

Only other thing of note, is a glitch that didn't interfere with me continuing the game.

Every year I stop on July 3 and auto run the NHL draft, to see which teams are getting the top players.

Every few years of late, and less frwuently earlier on the game would crash when I stopped to try and run the NHL draft. This was easy to get by as I just went past draft date and looked back to see who was drafted.

Doesn't appear to be a lineup issue, I can sim all the games individually with no crash. Imbalanced conference structure with odd numbers on both sides might've done something, but I would expect that to show up much earlier in the season or pre-season. We'll have to do a little digging into this one and see what's going on there.

New Game now has similar crash.

After the last game crashed I started a new historical game in 1966 where the NHL never expanded and there was no WHA.

There was no team editing in this one.

Game crashes Jan 18, 1998.

I think this may be the extreme-slowdown bug we're going to be issuing a fix for - is it actually crashing to the desktop, or just doesn't appear to continue.

Game completely shuts down when it "crashes" and I have to re-open it and re-start it from the last save point.

Yeah, it turned out to be two separate things unrelated to the other problem. I think we've got both fixed now, we'll be releasing a hotfix shortly and your saves should work normally after that.
