What a f?
On the SI boards, about half of the "want a new league" requests were around the British leagues.
I've always found that very surprising. It was similar with FHM too - lots of users enquired about the UK leagues. FM is really big in the UK and is usually the top selling PC game each year so I think there's a bit of a cult following of management sims here which perhaps explains it. Personally I think it's good to see some lower leagues become playable as the LLM (lower league management) side of things has been pretty popular over the past ten years in EHM (traditionally people started off with the Wightlink Raiders in the EPIHL as they were the "lowest" team in game). SEGA sponsor two NIHL teams so it makes sense they'd want to see them in game.

It's also worth bearing in mind that those leagues that have been made playable over the past 8 months are those that have typically been regularly updated in the roster updates. If you want to see a league playable then it would do no harm volunteering to help update it.

Personally I'd love to see some more North American leagues playable (especially the college hockey side of things), but I'm obviously pretty happy to see the British leagues there!

Nope. Really frustrating. I thought that when they released an update the day after releasing the full version they would have fixed it but apparently not. Seriously, have they not tried connecting to a network game themselves before releasing the game, just to see if it works?

You would think so. I have been waiting for online for a bit. I have done maybe... 70+ seasons of EHM and I love the game, but online is the selling point for me. Especially with NHL 16 for console having no connected franchise, this is the fix for all hockey gamers.

Cmon, guys. Get it together. ](*,)

I have not been able to play at all since the update. My game won't even open up. Here is what i posted to the Eastside Hockey Manager Bugs Forum on http://community.sigames.com/:

"I tried to open up my EHM Early Access this evening and i can't get it to open up at all. The Steam pop-up opens for a second saying preparing to launch Eastside Hockey Manager, then the pop-up disappears and that's it. Same thing if i try to open it from inside Steam under Library\Games\ and right click on Eastside Hockey Manager and select Play Game. It says the Current content BuildID is 880642."

Anyone else had this problem?
I sure hope they can get it sorted out.

I have the same problem. First it went in and then after I changed from windowed mode to full screen it does the same as to you.
Edit: the fix they put out is working now. Thanks.

Is this an auto-update fix or one we have to download?

Says changed the clock rate in the game, but it has not changed. Still slow and chunky. 2D game takes way way longer to get through.

I see no announcement of patch 1.0.2 on Steam, nor did my game auto-update. Maybe it was delayed? :-k

Manimal has helpfully pointed out that I'm subscribed to the beta builds. So that'll explain it... I hadn't realised we were still getting betas.

Sorry for the confusion! :oops:

I know right

I can understand having the Asian league, but adding that many British leagues? Why not focus on adding the Swedish third divisionm the VHL or the junior leagues?
The Developer is english

I know my game is gonna have like Junior C Ontario hockey playable before Swedish Third Division

Yes, Steam updates are automatic.
Nothing works for me yet. I run game, it shows "running" then "syncing" then nothing. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, removed the 'game.cfg file. Nothing works.
Wish there was a way to get rid of this version and run the old one.

Issue Update:
Taking a hint from another post i went to SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Eastside Hockey Manager and changed the ehm.exe settings to always run as an administrator. No i get further and get the great "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)" error. I uninstalled all my Microsoft Visual C++ 2005, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013 and 2015 versions in both x86 and x64 format. Then i reinstalled them all getting no errors. After all this i still get the 0xc00007b error.
Anyone have any ideas?
