Can't Start New Season

Lord PichuPal · 02-20-2015, 02:37 AM

So, I don't know why this is or what happened, but my custom league just finished its 3rd season and when I try to continue to July 1st, it crashes. It goes through the first load bar, then on the 2nd "processing" bar it crashes at 33%. I only changed the names of two players from the draft so I can't imagine that caused any trouble, and I have no idea what else could be the problem. Is there any reason this is suddenly happening or how to fix it? I really don't feel like restarting this and I only have one back-up for this league which is well behind, so I'd really prefer to have this sorted out. Hopefully somebody can help with this, I couldn't seem to find another topic with this issue when I looked (but maybe I didn't look hard enough).

Please upload your save and I will look into it. It is sufficient to upload just the .dat files from your save game.

I'm glad I could get a quick response to this. I'm getting the league file uploaded now, should be under the name of "NRHL.lg". Hopefully I'm not just overlooking something simple, I tried using commissioner mode to fix every team's roster in both the pros and minors and that didn't help either. I really appreciate the help, too.

I have looked into it and it's a bug with some player contracts that leads to the crash. If you want to continue your game, you have to search for the following players, go to their profile, then edit player and enter a number (e.g. 10.000) in the first "Standard Salary" field of the contract. Thereafter click save. After you have changed the contracts of all listed players it will be possible to continue your game.

Awesome, that did fix it. I really appreciate the quick help on this, wonder why it only happened with those players in the USHL anyway, I never even touch that league. Oh well, guess I know where to look if it happens again.
