Are you experiencing lots of crashes? - Page 2

blackrussian · 06-03-2006, 04:31 PM

i created a moderately large universe, a combination of MLB and several custom Japanese leagues. The creation was ok but as soon as i hit autoplay (until next season), the game crashes.

however, i was able to save the entire setup as a quickplay before it crashed if you want to look at the universe/setup.

i have a 2.8g intel 4, win xp, 128mb graphics card.

fenrrris · 06-03-2006, 05:04 PM

I'm running a fictional MLB universe with full minors and am crashing repeatedly at one spot: Managing the Red Sox versus (I think) the Orioles, every time the game finishes and leaves me at the box score I click "Leave Game" and get a Windows Unexpected Error message.
I'm running Windows XP on a Pentium 4 2.66GHz processor, 256 MB of RAM and a Mobility Radeon 7500C with 32 MB of RAM.
I have yet to try quick-simming past the game, so I can send files if necessary.
And thanks for the proactive support!

MetsFrigginFan · 06-04-2006, 03:15 PM

1. Tell me how you can make the game crash-- Made it to June 15 (Draft)...

Error message appears: add_line_to_txt_file - could not open target file for writing
2. Tell me about your system, processor type, speed, ram, graphics card etc
amd 2500+ ,1gb ram, xfx5700le,SATA HDD

if uwant me to send it ill send it

biggamejrs · 06-04-2006, 04:05 PM

1. Different points. I get this "invalid player_id in scout" when I try to accept a position with my 3rd or 4th manager.
I also get crashes to the desktop at different points.
Also crashes when I try to add a bookmark...
2. WinXP SP2
Pentium M 1300 MHz 256 Ram
Mobility Radeon 9000 Display adapter

Let me know if you need my file.

DaveM0 · 06-04-2006, 04:12 PM

Crashing every ~9 games when I play a game out and click to exit the end of game box score.

AMD 3000+
1GB Ram
WinXP SP2

EDIT: Should also mention I crash when I click on "view game log". But I dont save them so maybe that is why it is crashing, but I don't think the program should crash; just tell me I don't have that option on.

Thanks, will do!!!

I've had one crash so far. It was when I tried to access a game log that wasn't there (because I had turned them off).

swampdragon · 06-04-2006, 09:43 PM

I've posted this crash, but I'll repeat:

1. Created fictional league starting in 1890
2. Imported Chief Zimmer (an 1890 player, who it is doesn't matter)
3. Tried to advance to the next day. The game crashes immediately.
4. If I don't import a player, I can advance with no problem, so that has to be it.

This sounds like it might be same issue I am having using autoplay in a universe with MLB and an added fictional league.

What part of this thread exactly was fixed?

I am experiencing a similar problem as blackrussian. In my universe I created a fictional MLB level league. Had one subleague. Had one division. Had four teams. I also created a AAA level minor league for this league. Same exact setup, 1 subleague and 1 division with 4 teams. Creation process went smoothly but everytime I try to advance in date I get the ootp2006.exe crash. I went and tried to create the league again under a different name and get the same crash.

My computer: AMD Athlon XP 1800+, 512 MB RAM, Radeon IGP 320M display adapter.

I have been able to create a historical universe but whenever I try to create fictional universes I get this crash.

Marc Duffy · 06-06-2006, 02:46 AM

TT 1664 was fixed. Apologies

joepman · 06-06-2006, 03:56 AM

I'm getting a crash when I click action to have my manager set depth charts.

I have an AMD proc and am running Win XP.

It's a standard MAL setup.

SLubbers · 06-06-2006, 05:33 AM

Hey Marc,

I'm crashing ALOT (10-20% of the time) when I manage individual games. I'm running a pretty basic setup of MAL with associated minors but no other leagues. The game is stable except when I go into manage mode for individual games. I lose a few games in the middle of the game for no apparent reason. (The most recent crash came after a routine single in the top of the sixth inning). But the vast amount of my crashes occur when a game is completed and I click on LEAVE GAME. I'm not able to provide a specific point since I can't go back and recreate the individual games.

I'm running on a Dell Dimension 8400 with an Intel processor. I'm running Windows XP Professional.

JimG · 06-06-2006, 10:17 AM

Running this system.

http://www.dell.com/content/products...=19&l=en&s=dhs

Already mentioned the Lahman loading freezes. Also crashing frequently during in-game managing. Last two happend right after computer team stole second but before that it was after I struckout.

Jim

bgheadjack · 06-06-2006, 07:19 PM

My crashes have just started

Here's what happened each time. I'm managing a game and going half inning by half inning to follow the progress (and see if I need to jump in to save the day). Each time it reaches the sixth inning it crashes.

I'm on a pretty powerful laptop, HP notebook, running Windows. Any other questions feel free to email me:

bgheadjack@aol.com

Thanks - hope this helped.

Seviien · 06-07-2006, 01:30 AM

I'm having the same problem as MetsFrigginFan. During the draft, my game crashes with the message: add_line_to_txt_file - could not open target file for writing

To add a little more information:
1. moving the draft date does not alleviate the crash
2. if the option to have an amateur draft is unchecked, the same error message and resultant crash instead occurs at the end of the year when the game is autosaving
3. Having simmed two different leagues from 1901 using the same quickstart template, the error occurred both times in 1927.

I'm using a 2.0ghz dual core intel with 1gb of ram

greenmonster04 · 06-07-2006, 02:45 AM

every time I try to advance to the next day, the game crashes right away. If I set the game preferences to save daily, then it will crash, EVERY TIME, when the status bar is at 92% (updating news).

this happens on both my laptop and desktop, and all they have in common is that they are running windows xp w. SP2.

the league is a brand new fictional league (24+ teams), with minor leagues and some INT leagues. I've finished the initial draft, and have been singing free agents and making trades since. It is only day January 23. I believe that I have no free agent offers out, but do have 3-4 trade offers that the AI must process.

I have the error log saved, and can upload the save game if you would like... just let me know exactly what you need.
