Clearly something happens between 10 and 20 years playing a solo career game with fictional players. I've had this problem (read below) with every single league started. Best I remember that would be 9 leagues now. The furthest I've got is season 18, the soonest fatal crash was season 12 best I remember.

The league setups are always the same. 15 team Major League with, AAA, AA, A, Rookie, Japanese, Mexican, Puerto Rican and Cuban. Different options enabled/disabled sometimes but the same league structure.

1. Tell me how you can make the game crash
Same as bug reported previous (Logged as #1610). The only difference is no longer does the error message screen appear as reported previous and logged as #1610, now it goes straight to the IE message OOTP has suffered a problem and must close screen and then fatal crash.

I've created 2 new leagues since installing the patch. The first one lasted to season 14, now it is in fatal crash mode.

I created the next new league, made it to season 18, now it is in crash mode. Stuck on Dec 31, 2018, will not proceed to the next year, crashed it 25 times so far, same each time. The screen SISA Souting comes up, hangs for about 3 minutes slowly working its way to 100%, gets to 100% and hangs for another 2-3 minutes and then the fatal crash screen appears. It started crashing in Sept 2018, then Oct 2018, then throughout Dec 2018. Slowly as I re-loaded the game each time I moved closer to Dec 31, 2018 saving each step of the way, now Dec 31 is the end for sure, 12 crashes.

2. Tell me about your system, processor type, speed, ram, graphics card etc
Windows XP Pro, AMD 1.9 Ghz, 512MB ram, Asus A7N8X, ATI Radeon 9700 Pro - BTW it takes 10 minutes to sim a season with this setup.

Make sure you can get the crash to repeatable state in a save game (this helps if we need to grab the save game because we cannot crash it!)
I have both games still saved, however, I do not think it possible to send to you. I'm on dial-up, took 3-4 hours to download the game when released, can't imagine how long it would take to send a saved game file.

I think I'll put the game down now, wait for the next patch and see if a fix is in there. It is a great game, Markus is a genius, but for whatever reason I can't get past the fatal crash cycle which makes it unplayable for now.
