Player roles discrepancies

Hi,

I'm the commish of a 30 players multiplayer league that has been running since March 2021 on FHM 7.

We have started with an historic save in 1990 and are now at the begining of the 2001-02 season.

We first encountered a strange bug - GMs would try to login into their GM profile but would come up as another GM, however by closing the game and re-loading after redownloading the accountsdata_gms file it seems to fix it. - the only thing I had done different that sim which seems to have cause the bug was to add new GMs profiles).

However, by trying to fix that first bug, me and another admin have just noticed another strange thing as I got a copy of his files to replace mine to roll back the sim.

Basically, we noticed that when both of us login as the commish we don't see the players having the same role ratings or the same "Ability" displayed on the team lines screen. Don't get me wrong attributes are the same, just not the role ratings and ability. However as shown in the following pictures the role ratings have major differences.

When I noticed that the roles I was seeing were weird with my co-admin files, I tried to identify which file would cause the difference. It seems like it is the player_roles.dat file that is causing that issue. Now my theory is (and I might be wrong) that could be happening cause I assume as we progress in a historic save, the player roles calculation might change as we progress through the years since the game gets different?

I am mostly the one simming like 90% of the time and we use the direct upload and download feature that is built in-game with our GMs. When I sim I always upload the basic league file on the FTP server which they in turn download to update their save and to export their changes for next sim. However, I noticed that the "player_roles.dat" file doesn't seem to be uploaded when you select to upload the basic league file. I think this might mean some of our GMs are stuck seeing older player roles calculations depending of the time they joined cause they never got the new players roles has the save evolved. Which is a problem cause it causes big gaps when appreciating players and assessing their trade value.

In other words some GMs might get stuck in time. I also notice that other files such as tactics.dat, tactics_templates.dat_tacticals_settings_mod.dat and template.dat are also not included in the upload basic league file package and wonder if this could also cause discrepancies in the way the files operates from one GM to another depending of the moment they joined the league.

I am suspecting this could also affect FHM 8 and FHM 9 historic saves since I believe the upload basic league file feature operates the same way.

Finally, more as a side note, it's been a while, but in our save when you look at the "Real Stats" it doesn't show the name of the teams anymore. The link seems to have broke down at some point.

Thanks for helping. I have uploaded a "ARHL2001" file for you, including the different "player_roles.dat files"

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Any chance this could be looked into? Like I said I think it might affect FHM 8 and 9 as well.
