FHM 9 - Auto-shutdown when clicking/dragging players from lines screen

hijeffinition · 01-22-2023, 06:08 PM

I apologize if someone else has already posted about this but I couldn't find anything. I just recently started having this issue with FHM 9 (standalone version 9.2 Build 78 on Windows 11).

I'm a few years into a GM/HC job in the OHL. From the Lines tab, when I try to click/drag players to move them to different lines the game crashes and shuts down. I can dress/scratch players but can only use "Assistant: Create Lines" to fill the lines and cannot move them around. Thinking it may have been an issue with that game save, I created a brand new game but it is still happening. Has anyone seen this issue?

Thank you.

Uh-oh, the standalone version is supposed to have click-and-drag disabled for that exact reason - there's some odd compatibility issue with Fastspring that leads to that crash. But something seems to have re-enabled it, we'll get that fixed.

You can get around it by using the checkbox option - on the lines screen, click the box to the left of the player names on the dressed list, and then click on the spot in the lines you want to move them to.

Thank you! I've never used the checkboxes before, so I'm learning quickly.
