Just to make sure this gets updated here... it looks like with everyone's help, Markus finally found the bug. There's an open thread on this in the General forum: http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...g-amazing.html

If your League Strategy for closer usage is set to "rarely", the game crashes when you sub for your pitcher. No wonder it was so hard to find!

And no wonder it didn't happen to that many people. It would only happen to those who play out their games in an era before say 1974 with the imported era strategies.

I'm hoping this will make it into the July patch, but if you're experiencing the bug, hopefully just changing the League Strategy for closer usage to anything but "Rarely" should fix the issue in the meantime! The reason my league didn't crash in OOTP9 was because I guess in 1974 the strategy changed from "Rarely" to "Normal". In 1970 to 1973 (the last year I played using OOTP 2007), the strategy was "Rarely", hence the crashes.

Woohoo!! Hopefully it's finally fixed!
