Crash going from June 30 to July 1

[Akaitatsu]

I have a "historical" game going that was originally imported from FHM 8. I made it through a whole season after switching to FHM9, but now it crashes when I click Continue on June 30.


Game save is uploaded as Akaitatsu_Waaagh.lg_1984-06-30.7z and the last bit from the trace file is below.

Yeah, seems to be happening to me as well. I can't see any obvious reason for the crash, but we'll take a closer look; I suspect it's something fixable.

[Akaitatsu]

Thanks for the update. No rush on this for me. I won't be able to play until next weekend at the earliest.

Do you think it's something I can edit in Commissioner Mode? I wasn't able to find the people mentioned in the log, so I couldn't edit them. I looked through the staffers for the NHL teams and didn't see them.

when I had issue of trying to move to the next day (july 1st), it turned out because I had a player's ownership assigned to one team but was playing with another. Jeff had someone on his team identify the player.
I also previously had an issue with the US National Team having an insufficient number of players, which I fixed by having the AI auto assign/fix the roster.

hopefully his team can identify the same issue with yours.

We were able to fix it, turned out to be an issue with broken data in the player birthplaces, the game was trying to add historical players with birtplaces used only in a newer version of the world database than the one the FHM8 import was bringing in. Malte had to advance it to July 1 to fix it, but it should work fine from that point forward. Email me at jeff@ootpdevelopments.com and I'll share the fixed file with you on dropbox.

I have downloaded the file you sent me and have continued my game. I am just about to start the regular season and will report back in on July 1, 1985.

BTW, is a player named Vincent The Rat something that slipped in when you were working on my save? I can't find anything on the Internet about it.

The game crashed again going from June 30, 1985 to July 1. Based on the information your provided about the cause, I copied the cities.dat file from a save created in FHM9 to my current save. After that, it simulated to July 1, but I if I try to edit a player the game crashes. I have uploaded the latest save (Akaitatsu_Waaagh_1985-06-30.lg.7z).
