This was my second attempt since the first one (pre-patch) also stalled in year 4, after triggering some ECHL player roster limit issues (see thread way above).This second attempt was going nicely, and seemed to have overcome the ECHL roster bug, until it too stopped just as I launched into season 4. No BSD, but simply a message that the game is not responding. So this is a problem. My desktop is a high performance rig from Velocity with Windows 10, so it shouldn't be the culprit I think.

I think we'll need to take a look at your save to see what's going on there, can you upload it? Uploading instructions here.

I was afraid you were going to ask that Jeff. Can you update the uploading instructions for Windows 10 please? Or, if that isn't the issue-what is the initial "start" button they refer to?

Oh, sorry, looks like that was written a while ago. Actually, the easiest way is probably just to zip up the whole folder for that save game, put it on a filesharing site (filedropper.com seems to work well for this), and send me a PM with the link.

I apologize if this has been brought up already. When offering contracts to players to see what they are asking, you can gauge what they will be asking by starting off negotiations.

Now.. when I close the window without offering anything other than *seeing* the price range and what its going to take to retain his services and remove the grey highlighted contract offer in the free agents window, it's as if they were insulted and never want to talk contracts again.

With offering a contract and backing out of it, you would definitely expect the player to never resume or negotiate anything but to remove a grey offer that you were simply seeing what the asking price was and having the same reaction to the player if you would have offered is confusing... is this working as intended ? Is anyone else seeing this problem besides me ?

Thanks, we'll try to find out what's causing the crash.

Something is amiss with the ECHL playoff setup. In my 2015-2016 league Toledo is playing Alaska and Missouri is playing S. Carolina both in the first round. Actual playoff setup is defined here - The ECHL - Premier 'AA' Hockey League | Kelly Cup Playoffs

Jeff,
Concerning duplicate players on ice simultaneously, Zip file uploaded via FTP should contain screenshot as well. Thank you for prompt attention.

Riverdome · 10-05-2015, 10:07 PM

In ECHL off-season I'm looking to sign free agents but none of their stats from last year are visible in the Free Agent Centre - I have to hover or open each player to see what they did last season. I can see ratings for those I have scouted but for non-rookies shouldn't I be able to sort by stats?

jinkorjap · 10-05-2015, 10:36 PM

when trying to hire a new staff member, I switch to the training display. when I click on a coach to view his details, I get a different coach. it doesn't matter which coach I select; I get the same different random coaches' info instead...

Great, thanks, we'll take a look.

Seems to work OK when I try it. Is it one particular coach you keep getting? And which mode (modern/fictional/historical) are you playing in?

Stats reset on July 1, and most screens generally default to the current season's stats, which are 0 in free-agent season. It would make more sense to have them display the previous season's stats, though, at least up to a point. I'll see if it can be changed.

It looks like it's set up to seed the first round by division, which is probably why it's breaking and making inter-divisional matchups where there aren't enough playoff teams available within a division. I'll switch it to conference seeding.

I think that's as designed. As soon as you ask what amount he wants, the player considers that serious interest and doesn't like it if you walk away.

Some guy named Ryan Huska, every time. Modern game but I simmed 10 years.

Aha, suspected as much, he has staff ID #0, so he's the default guy that's shown when something goes wrong with staff data. Could you upload the save and we'll have a look at it? Instructions here, or just zip and upload it to filesharing site (filedropper.com works well) and PM me the link to it.

Will be difficult. I changed their rights back to Minnesota and advanced two more years or so. But I'll take a look.

I have a Facebook user on a Mac with the following issue. Has anyone run into this before and know what the solution is?

I did do the latest update and now when i created a new game, it does all the uploading but it doesn't go to game page, it just stays at menu screen.
Cheers

Sebastian Palkowski · 10-06-2015, 07:51 AM

I guess the user went to the start screen from a running game and started a new one? It seems to be a Mac problem we don't get reproduced on Windows. I will try it on my Mac now but the code is exactly the same so I have no idea where to look.
