Crashes

The game is crashing on April 27th and won't advance. I've rebooted multiple times and it keeps crashing on that date in particular. Unsure if there's anything that can be done about it, but figured I'd make you aware! Thanks!

Just sent over the save file, "Bruins Save" Thanks for looking!

Thanks. Crashes for me as well; files don't appear to be corrupted and it doesn't appear to be something like a lineup/game engine crash, so I'm not sure what's happening there - we'll have to dig in a little further to see what's wrong.

Sounds good, I'll just start a new game while I wait! Thanks Jeff!

Hey Jeff,

Any idea what's causing this? Or should I just chalk it up to laptop goblins and move on?

We found the problem, the fix will be in the first update (hopefully tomorrow.) I just tried your save with the newest build a couple of hours ago and it continued without the crash.

You guys are the best. So I can just wait for the update and it should work? Outstanding!

Looks like I spoke too soon. I am able to sim ahead one more day, but then on April 28th, it crashes again. Should I send another Zip over?

Strange, your save continues into May with no problems when I try it. You're hitting continue to get to the 28th, then when exactly does it crash - when you try to play the Buffalo game?

It plays the Buffalo game, and then when I go to move to the next day it crashes.

And I can get into May with it without a crash...I'm wondering if something has gotten corrupted in the save you're working with now. Try this: copy the files from the zip you sent me over the current game files. Then load the game, click continue, play the game (you can just sim it), and then continue again. Does it still crash, or do you make it to the Leafs game?

That seems to have done it. I managed to corrupt my save within 2 days of game release. Go me...
