Can't dress a particular player

Pocky · 04-01-2020, 04:14 PM

Good afternoon!

I've run into a problem where a particular player seems to have become incapable of being dressed. I've uploaded the associated save as "Pocky_ManthaDressingBroken.lg.rar".

I'm playing in GM-only mode helming the Red Wings, and after the 2020-21 World Cup (in which Anthony Mantha served on Canada's team), it's become impossible for Mantha to be dressed. I toggled on Commish mode to undress other players to ensure there was a spot available for Mantha, but clicking in the column to dress him does nothing, and the AI won't dress him no matter what.

I saw a bug report for FHM5 where a similar bug occurred as a result of international service, where a tournament didn't fully complete and left players invisibly toggled as on international service and unavailable as the cause of a player becoming incapable of being dressed. As best I can tell, the 2020-21 World Cup seems to have completed (and Canada won the gold), but that's the only cause I can theorize as to why Mantha cannot be dressed in this save.

Any help would be appreciated!

I'm not sure what's broken his roster status (the other World Cup players seem to have returned normally), but there's a simple fix:

Shop Mantha (right-click, Shop Player), then accept one of the offers for him. After the trade completes, immediately edit both him and the traded player back to their original teams. That fixes his roster status and you'll be able to use him normally again (which inclines me to think something other than international play did this, because a trade wouldn't change that status, but I can't tell what the actual cause was.)

Thanks for the help! I gave that workaround a try, and it resolved the issue.
