Cannot advance to Opening Day

bulldog55 · 01-08-2009, 10:57 AM

My online league keeps crashing as I try to advance to Opening Day. We finished the draft on 3/1, but it constantly crashes sometime in the first week of March as I try to sim ahead, anywhere from the 2nd to the 5th. I cannot move ahead.

I posted the file at tcba.victory-league.com/tcba-test.zip

Please help. And please don't tell me the patch corrupted my league.

Without a commish password, I can't really do much with this file. However, I do note that all of your pitchers have terrible stuff and great movement and control. All of your batters have solid contact and terrible power and eye. Presumably this was intended for your yearly settings?

If you'd like to PM me a commish password, I'll see what I can figure out.

I PMed you the password. It seems that if I save the league as a template and then import it into a new game, it will advance to Opening Day without problem. The only minor issue is that it starts on 1/1 (the game is at 3/2). I can use that fix if you don't figure out the problem with this file, but I'd rather stick with the real file.

Here are my system specs if it helps:

By deleting each of your AAA leagues one at a time and then simming forward, I narrowed the issue down to the New York, New Haven, Hartford League. Specifically, trying to Quick-Play the Newport/Worcester game will crash the game. I can play out the game to avoid the crash now and then, but simming ahead a few days will cause it to reoccur.

It's not the four-man pitching rotation employed by one of the teams. There's something wrong with their setup, because when I ask the AI to set up each team, the crashes go away. Testing further...

It's Newport. They have crazy, invalid lineups set against RHP and LHP (no-DH). Ask the AI to set those lineups and the crashes go away.

Tell that affiliate's GM to stick to a normal 1-8 lineup for his position players and to avoid copying his lineups with DHs into lineups without DHs and you should be fine.

Nutlaw · 01-09-2009, 06:55 PM

Honestly, I can't reproduce this crash no matter what I do to a lineup afterward. However, I know that asking the AI to set up Newport's lineups will fix the problem.

That did it. You are a credit to humanity.
