Version 0.9.19 Game Update Now Available
Our newest game update, Version 0.9.19, is now available:
You can download the new version at: FHM - Update 0.9.19 Installation instructions: After you download the file just install it over your existing game (you don't need to un-install the old version first!). Make sure to select the correct path to your game if needed. (this link should avoid the problems we had earlier with older cached versions, but you may still want to double-check when you start the game that it's version 0.9.19 - look at the bottom of the startup screen, it should read "Version 0.9 Beta Build 19.") Saves from version 0.9.17 are compatible with this version, those from earlier versions are not. (Note that if your save is from July 1, 2013 or later, you may be better off restarting - a bug fixed in 0.9.19 will have disabled most playoffs from the second season onward.) No complete patch notes this time, as this is basically a hotfix that introduces some significant speed improvements when autosimming games. It also fixes the aforementioned playoff bug, and a recently-introduced crash bug involving AI teams that was eventually causing unavoidable crashes. Unfortunately, we haven't been able to nail down the crash some people are experiencing in viewed games immediately after the first save. We'll be back at work on that tomorrow, and hopefully will have it fixed for the next update. |

Loving the new build. I was able to Sim 10+ seasons hands free with no crashes and the Sim speed is much better now that I can turn off a few leagues. A few things I have noticed.
1. I cant see the simulation progress when auto simming. If I remember correctly this had been a problem before but was addressed in one of the first build updates. 2. When I checked the game after letting it Sim. The standings screen only had 2 goalies under the stat category's. The rest were listed when you actualy went and checked the league wide stats just not on the autosim screen. Btw the in-game year was 2022 by the time i checked it. Once again thanks for all the hard work and keep it up. Last edited by Bruins86; 04-29-2013 at 12:29 AM. |

You have to expect certain features to not be implemented in Beta.

Regarding the next update: I had hoped to do a data one this week, but some changes we've made to the team data cause problems without some corresponding game updates. And the game update still needs additional work and testing, so it's not looking like a good idea to release it this week. I'd also like to start re-enabling some of the league-editing features we disabled at launch, and that'll require testing, as well.
So, next update (game and data) will be scheduled for next Wednesday, May 8. If that changes, I'll let you know. |

Keep up the great work Jeff and thanks for being so open with us about what to expect. It is nice to have that when you are used the way some other companies do things.

Also i had asked this before but i dont remember if you gave me a response or not and if you did please forgive me for being a idiot lol, but at some point do you plan on having players like Gretzky, Orr etc. truly outshine there peers so to speak? Right now Orr is no better then any other d-man in the league and i have never had Gretzky win 1 art ross on multiple test sims. Obviously its a beta and the players have not been rated completely, but even when i max out all stats at 20 they don't do all that much better then the other players in the league, if at all. I know its not a high priority thing right now and wouldn't expect it anytime soon but i would like to know if this is something that might get addressed before September release? Once again thanks for all the hard work and keep it up. |

Jeff,
Are you able to give some idea as to what changes are being made for the next update? Curious about the direction of development at this point.

We ran into a weird bug that's happening at a predictable time, but also seems to make the savegame unloadable, so it's a little tricky to diagnose. Last I heard from him, Sebastian said they'd figured out it was related to a new playable league (we added another level to Finland this week), so I think they'll have it fixed in fairly short order, but by the time he told me that it was already 2 AM over there. So the update won't be out until Thursday, but barring any other stability problems (which I don't expect, I ran a historical game for 30 years with the new build this afternoon and it was stable) it should be ready relatively early in the day, i.e. late morning in Europe/very early morning in NA.

First attempt at an update build today appears to have failed, we're getting a repeatable crash near the beginning of the second season. Sebastian and Malte are looking at it now, but it'll likely be at least another couple of hours before the update, assuming the problem can be found and fixed quickly.

I know this is the beta and Im sorry if this has been brought up already but as playing the NY Rangers I have yet to get a star for my goalie and clearly he has been deserving at least some of the top star performances.
