Crash when trying to sim further

Hey,

So for whatever reason my game keeps crashing whenever I try to sim past the date in game, Feb. 17 2030. I like this save so I'd really love to fix it if at all possible. I uploaded it as '2030_crash.zip'.

Thanks!!

It's the Acadie-Bathurst/Saint John game in the QMJHL that's causing it, it looks like that game finished but for some reason isn't recorded as having done so, and the game is now attempting to re-play it, which results in a whole bunch of lineup errors and a game clock that won't advance since it's already at the end of the game.

In this case, reverting to one of the rolling saves is probably the safest fix, since that'll get it back to before the problem occurred (we might be able to edit the current version of the save to fix it, but I'm not sure there wouldn't be additional issues later.) So go to the rs_one or rs_two folders in your save folder (whichever one has the more recent timestamps on the files), and copy the contents into your main save folder, overwriting the files there. Try running the game from there (it'll have reverted back to whatever day the previous save was on) and see if you can get past Feb. 17 without a crash. If that doesn't work, try the files in the other rs_ folder, those will be a bit older and should fix it if, for some reason, the first one already has the problem.
