The Bug Report Thread

[Snap Wilson]

Not sure if it's a bug or if you guys are just trolling, but I can't create a new player from the United States. United Emirates, sure. Vatican City, why not? But not the United States.

Also, you don't get to set the ages of new players. Is there a database or something where I can edit the info?

The US is under "The United States", so you have to type the T to get to it (it's also grouped at the top of the country dropdowns with the other main hockey countries) OOTP convention, I don't really get it, either.

We should be able to add the starting age to the player creation screen, I don't think that'd be difficult.

Yeah, something's going wrong with return to start either disabling continue/load or breaking the loading process at times. We're looking into it.

Yeah, something's wrong with the number display when multiple goals/assists are scored in a game, we're checking it.

Yeah, that message could be clearer, I'll see if we can change it.

I'll keep an eye on the valuation for older players, may also be a problem with too much emphasis being places on remaining contract length.

Sorting by any other stat seems fine.

Edit to add that when I look at my ahl team the sort by GR seems completely broken. Doesn't sort by number and all stats are set to 0.

Yeah, there's some really strange stuff going on with GR sorting on various screens. We're looking into it.

Update on this. It only happens if I switch games by going to the main screen from another loaded game. If I close down the application completely I am able to start a historical game, or load a saved one. Kinda annoying, but not nearly as bad as I feared.

I watched it live. Very weird. It was late and I was very sleepy and started wondering if I was hallucinating until I saw the summary.

[zyberianwarrior]

Got another one for you guys in the shootout they do not list the game winning goal in the shootout after the game but if you go back into the scoring summary it lists it. Last shootout I had went 10 rounds and it only listed nine in the post game report but exit out and look at the summary after the game its there.

Not 100% this is a bug, but I think it is. I am in the offseason, July 3rd, so in the middle of free agency. The game isn't allowing me to offer contracts to go above the normal salary cap number even though in the offseason we are supposed to have that 10% cushion.

I'm working on creating a reports webpage mod for FHM2 online leagues. Your CSV delimeters are set as commas. In the 'salary' column of the 'player_bio' table, entries in the column include commas... i.e., '$30,000' as a salary, producing an obvious error... Can the CSV generation delimit with a semi-colon please?

Yes, we will change that.

Is It me or is there something wrong with offering contracts to free agents. I noticed that certain free agents ask for say 13,900,000 but you can only go up to 10,000,000 not any higher is this a bug in the game?
I also see that when editing the rules you change dressed players to 23 but It always goes back to 20 why Is that?

Better yet, can we just get an integer dumped for salary? I'm hard pressed to believe that a player's salary is actually stored as a varchar when salary has to be stored as an int somewhere for ease of use in financial calculations. If it's stored as a non-integer everywhere then I'll just have to write a conversion script.

Yes, the salary output is changed.

Two issues, For an entry-level contract offer. My player won't sign unless I offer him 2.2mil but the issue is the standard contract in 950k and second, my submit button doesn't work when offering contracts anymore. It did before I updated, I'm on a Mac.

Started a new game as GM of New Jersey Devils. Can't seem to sim past Oct 24 ... every time I finish the day on Oct 24 going to Oct 25 the game will crash.

Running on Windows 10.

Yup, something's definitely going awry with the loading and continuing after returning to the start screen. We'll get it sorted out.

Is it doing it in every game, or just the ones where the shootout runs really long? I know there was an issue with the shootout summary getting cut off if there were more than a certain number of shots.

Are the financial screens showing the $78m cap number (expanded) or the regular $71m one? Just want to narrow it down to something not getting reset properly on July 1 or a check in the free agency system that's not adjusting to the cushioned cap when it should.
