AI hires General Manager in addition to Human GM in online league

[highheat42]

We are having an issue with the New Jersey Devils in our online league. We have a human GM set to GM/Coach. However every time we sim the Devils hire a General Manager in addition to the Human GM so that there are 2. We edit this GM out as we can't fire them like the other staff (It's acting almost like it is a human GM/ but they are not listed in the add/remove human GM screen).
So far it has hired Andre Savard, Chris Drury and Julien Briesebois. I keep editing them to unemployed but the next day someone new comes.
I have uploaded the file to the FTP. ssgfhm.zip
Game is version 10.3.39

Sorry, it looks like the uploaded save is missing about half its files, could you try that again? I seem to remember running across something like this a couple of years ago, so I think it's likely something we can fix in the save data.

Ok I did it again, sorry I uploaded just the upload basic league file. I did it manually with everything but the graphics now.
New File name is ssgfhmDec24.lg.zip

So just an update. I decided to delete the human GM of the NJ Devils and create a new one. It seems to have stopped. The add/remove gm function however acts like random teams have also lost their GM when I removed them (It was showing NYR and NSH as gms gone from the list when you go to hire a GM again. However their human GMs were never removed and when i saved and loaded the game up it looked fine).

Thanks for looking at this, Jeff!

Yeah, that sounds very familiar, I'm looking for my notes on the previous time something like this happened but I'm pretty sure it was some kind of corruption or error in the personal.dat file. I'm going to have to get Malte to take a look at it and see if it's the same thing again, in which case it should be fixable easily enough.
