Glad I could help! Although, if the CIA has Canada on top of their hate list, I'm sure NJ would be right there at #2.

Altho' why the CIA would bother with Canada is beyond me...

(Note.. I'm not a Canadian hater - I've considered moving to Canada more than a few times!)

All kidding aside it's not as far fetched as you might think. NORAD was involved somewhere in the 19,000 strong "security" force *cough, brute squad, cough, gang of thugs armed to the teeth, cough, cough* at the G20 in Toronto. You've also got the whole who gets what part of the Great Lakes water thing and Arctic sovereignty. It's a bit of a mess right now. When you get right down to it the vast majority of people on both sides of the border get along. It's always the govt that screws things up. I wouldn't move here right now Randy. The Harper govt enjoys clamping down on the ordinary citizens a little too much.

Ahem...and now back to the latest update/patch.

Andreas, will this be fixed in a quick patch or in the August patch? Thanks.

mavericktango · 07-15-2010, 02:58 PM

Will the CIA problem be fixed in the August patch or could it spread to NJ or even further ?

mickey7 · 07-15-2010, 02:59 PM

have three leagues that have been running for years using only real photos---with installation of new patch many photos are not showing up---they are replaced mainly with team logos although some are replaced with fg files----it does not matter if the original photo was first_name last_name or player_XXXX and it is not universal as some of the photos still work----this is truly a disappointing development----in all the years of OOTP I don't remember an update ever affecting my existing leagues till now----this suppossed improvement in the player image situation is in my opinion a disaster----how can I get my photos to once again be part of my game ?

I believe this is the way to get your photos back into the game. 1st make sure your settings are to choose photos 1st and then FGs.

Then go ahead into your leagues html/images directory and delete all the player_### files and lastname_firstname files. If your only using real photos then you wont have to worry about losing your fictional facegens.

Now if you copy all the player photos into this directory the next time you start the game it should automatically rename them to player_### and you should have photos pull up.

Keep in mind this is what I'm garnering from reading the boards and I'm not certain this will work but it should. (Backup your league) You may also want to temporarily clear the Fg_files directory and stock up your photos directory prior to loading your league.

I think the issue you may be seeing is that because it's an existing league the game is having trouble handling the different files in the images directory or some may not be there in the 1st place (at least not recognized by the game).

I hope this works...

BTW, I believe the remainder of the fg issues should be fixed before we know it.

They hired a Brute Squad and didn't call me? I'm crushed.

Nah, sorry MD. They tried to fit you into the $1.3 Billion security budget, but it seems your compensation demands were somewhat ridiculous for them, despite their seemingly unlimited budget.

Question re: the actual subject of the thread. Have any of the modifiers of historical databases tried to modify since the update and see if the fielding debacle still exists? I really hope this was fixed because it's a game killer for myself and others. I can still do it in OOTP X, but OOTP 11 is the shiny new game that I want to take for a ride.

How are things like this making it past testing? We are "testing" aren't we?

If we aren't, I'm sure willing to wait for a patch till we do. Just saying.

I mean, this new bug caused by this patch should have just jumped out at anyone who was testing this.

Actually, it did jump out in testing...just not at an opportune moment.

Andreas made some needed changes to the fg process that became evident after .8. It was working pretty good but still had some issues that needed cleaned up as evidenced on the board.

However, like anything with programming I suppose it affected some other stuff. It's not surprising and happens more often than you'd think.

I had been doing a good portion of the testing on the fg stuff as Andreas updated, however, I was unavailable for the week prior to the patches' release. During that time there were some issues that came up and made it into .15. (Note there were 7 versions between released patches).

In all honesty guys, Andreas has been real good at catching the errors and we got .16 within a week that solved most of the issues. I think I have isolated the remaining issues and I think they can have it fixed ASAP.

I personally would have loved to have been able to catch the stuff before the patch was released as the FG stuff has kinda become my baby bird.

I can vouch for the guys doing the beta testing as they are working hard on not only catching errors and also giving some great feedback to improve the game in ways that are not as obvious to the regular user.

What is this .16 of which you speak, Gambo? I thought the last patch was .15.

I think he means they caught 16 errors in testing.

The last public one was .15. The beta team is already up to .17.
