One note: We're running into an odd problem where the the ESC key won't stop the game like it's supposed to, but only in some games. It's been completely unreproducable so far; start two games in exactly the same way and one will have the problem and the other won't. Exiting the game and restarting the save seems to fix it, so it's a mild annoyance at worst, and we decided to release without a fix in the hope that we can get more details from a bigger testing group.

So, if you have it happen, please post the details in this thread; we'd particulatly like to know what autoplay duration (week, month, year, specific date or event) you were using; other game settings (historical/current, league, team, etc.) would also be useful.

And it may be a good idea to make your first auto-play only a week or month long, so you won't be stuck in it for an extended period if the bug hits.

And a reminder that the database update, which will fix a few additional problems and add another week's worth of editing, won't be out until Wednesday (barring any serious problems found during testing.) That'll be the normal day for the database updates; patching updates won't be on a regular schedule.

I downloaded new version but now I have a problem.

When I'm trying to create new game it says: error could not create game folder

I don't have any ideas what went wrong ?

Edit - Now it works. I had to run as an administrator

"Saves from the initial 0.9.0 version are not compatible with this version!"

Sorry, as we mentioned from the beginning, at least for the first few updates, the save will not be compatible. We just have to add to much new stuff to the game.

A common problem in OOTP too. I automatically ran FHM IN admin mode just because lol.

I was hopping one other Option was turned on for us to try but maybe next Patch like move Teams Around or Change or Added Team Affliate or Buyout Option turned on for NHL or Money in Trades.
