Crash Due to Goalies?

Started a new Historical file in 1917. Everything was fine until I lost a goalie (Retired) and none were available for free agency.

My fix was to just swap a cruddy defender to back-up goalie because I didn't need a back-up goalie.

Now whenever I try to sim by day/week/whatever period, the game crashes. If I go into the game screen and force my real goalie in, the game sims fine.

I've turned on goalie swap strats to never play the back-up, checked to disallow the AI to swap them, but it still tries to play the defender at goalie, and the game crashes.

Even with the goalie start settings at 0 for the backup-related ones, the backup will occasionally get used; the only way to avoid that is to always choose the starter manually. Switching a defenceman to goalie will fill the lineup spot that allows you to pass the check to start the game, but he doesn't actually have a proper set of goalie ratings, hence the crash if he has to play. The simplest fix would be to trade for another goalie, even a terrible one, just to fill the spot properly. Even in 1918 there should be at least one or two teams with a third or fourth goalie to spare.

Yes, I had already traded for a goalie to avoid the issue, but wanted to make you aware more than anything.

Thanks for the fast response, this is why I'm loyal to your franchise! If Vezina hadn't broken his leg and retired early on me I'd have been fine haha.

On the bright side, maybe getting out of the sport early kept him from contracting tuberculosis in 1925 and he lived to a ripe old age in the game world.
