Game Crashes Feb 16th 2014 after 24 years

Hello All,

Looking for some help here, started a historical game 1990 season and everything working great for the last 2 months while I put in 150 hours in game. Then in 2014 game crashes and wont get past Feb 16th 2014 during the Olympics.

I loaded up previous saves, even saves from previous seasons and still cant get past that date. The Olympics play that day and I turned off all injuries and even took over every team (commish mode enabled) and simmed that days games so no more games that day and still cant get past that date.

Any advice will be appreciated, I can post debug and send save. Let me know

Yeah, if you can upload the save (instructions here) we can have a look at what's going wrong and see if it's fixable. Likely not coincidental that it's in the middle of the Olympics, but I can't think of anything specific that might be causing it.

Thanks Jeff -

I posted the .zip save file with the name RolloFeb16Crash, deleted the graphics and other subfolders, let me know if you need them.

I got you a save has close to the issue as possible.

Let me know if you need anything else.

Thanks. We had another report of crashing in the (1980) Olympics in historical, and a working fix for that, but it doesn't seem to be functioning here; I still get the crash. We'll see why; hopefully it's the same thing and only requires a small modification to the fix.

Thanks Jeff for keeping me aware of issue, let me know if there is anything else you need from my end.

OK, got it fixed as well. It'll be in the update, hopefully on Monday, so you'll be able to continue the save normally after that (one catch: to fix the problem in games where it already exists, the current Olympics won't be played.)
