Game crashing

Post by axepig »

My game keeps crashing on June 30 (first year). I am using the 2013-2014 roster but used my custom start patch to start in 2005. I also edited all players to have 200PA. I've tried going on vacation and using CSD patch and just opening ehm07 straight up but it keeps crashing. Does anyone know how to fix it?

A crash on 29 June relates to the SM-Liiga so I guess you've got Finland set as Selected or Enhanced. There are three common causes of this crash are:

1) You forgot to load the Patch on one occasion when reloading your saved game (this normally corrupts the saved game).
2) You're not using the Patch to reload each and every time you re-load the saved game until you reach 1 July at the end of the first season (again, this normally corrupts the saved game).
3) You didn't select the earliest possible starting date from the leagues you have selected when starting your new game:

I've had this problem in my previous game but my current problem is with a game that I restarted and had all but the NHL on Standard, there was only one avaible start date too since only NHL was Enhanced. I did not start with CSD every time but I'm pretty sure I was able to just open ehm without the patch in my other games. Is there a way to fix it if I have no backup saves?

Alright I just did a whole season with a new game in a sitting (didn't exit the game) and I still crash at the same date. Is it the fact that I start in 2005 with a 2013-2014 roster?.. I'm pretty sure I used to do it just fine before

Probably so, as the game does not like long contracts. Starting in 2005 with the 13-14 db would make contracts eight years longer
