Game Freezes on Sim

Prodigal Son · 04-01-2007, 05:01 AM

I just set up this league and am really excited to get it going. I've messed with a few other leagues and not had any technical problems, but I load up this new league and it freezes when I try to sim the first day. The simulation dialog box stays pops up, the background screen doesn't switch over to the standings/leaders sim screen, and the game hangs indefinitely (well, at least for ten minutes). Never had a problem with other leagues like this yet.

Tried removing the two foreign leagues to see if there was a setting there that was causing the problem--no luck. Tried removing the college feeder league and...fixed. I'll keep troubleshooting trying to get the college league back working. Let me know if there is a known issue at work here; I looked around the tech support forums and searched to no avail.

Edit: Can there be two college feeder leagues feeding into one league?

I have gotten it working now. The problem, to the best I can figure it out:

The first time around, when I had the freezing up, I changed the number of divisions in an NCAA sub-league from 6 to 5 in the world template advanced setup after importing it, to which I received an error message upon attempting to start the league that I needed an even number (why even put odd numbers in the drop-down menu?), so I added back the conference and threw a couple teams in it.

I went through the setup process again and this time didn't mess with the imported NCAA league, and I simmed the first day no problem.

So I guess this one is closed, but it's something that should be looked into at some point.

What it SHOULD have told you is that you need an even number of teams in each subleague. The number of divisions shouldn't have any effect. And that's why it put an odd number in the dropdown for divisions, and for number of teams within a division. The ONLY time the odd number thing should matter is in teams per subleague.

I'm closing this thread as it appears the problem was resolved.
