EHM The Blue Line

Thanks, do you have a timeline for when it will be ready ? not feeling brave.

Not at the moment I'm afraid. I'm pretty busy with the EHM Updater at the moment. Sorry I can't be more specific, but helping the roster updating/research is my priority. I will however take a look at finishing it when I can.

I downloaded the patch and installed the requirements but when launching it says ''Unable to find a version of runtime to run this application.'' ? I'm from Finland so I've a hard time to understand correctly

Did you place the CSD Patch exe file in the same folder as your ehm2007.exe (i.e. in your EHM installation folder)? Have you tried the Apply Patch Only button?

I take it from your message that you also installed the C++ Redistributable and .NET Framework. This is another thing that comes to mind.

P.s. welcome to TBL!

Ye I placed it in there and I tried Standard and windowed and apply the patch only. Then I tried with ArtMoney and it worked until to that when the game starts to load things for the team selection, and told somethin about error in the Finnish league or somethin idk. Thanks a lot you got an awesome site

Edit: Could you tell me where do I need to extract the vintage logo files so I can get them work on the Manimal v4.1b 2006 adjusted rosters?

Try this : http://www.ehmtheblueline.com/forums/vi ... 36#p138236 using this instead of the CSD Patch: https://skydrive.live.com/#cid=A0FA740E ... C5C5%21280

I have all leagues selected and I have played first season and 28.8.2012 the game crashes although I have used the patch whole time

Hmm this is a new date to me.

Did you make any modifications to the database? Were you using the League Patch? Were there any error message?

I have not made any modifications or anything

I'm pretty certain we tested a game with all the leagues tested, but I guess it is something that may need further testing. It may well be that you missed the Patch one time (although the date you posted is not one I'd expect) or there is something up with one of the leagues in terms of compatibility with the Patch. I'll need to investigate this some time - but I'm afraid it won't be any time soon.

Ok my game crashes everytime on May 25th even though I start the game using the patch.

Anyone have ideas what to do because right now I have saved it on that day and I can't process beyond the 25th.

Did you apply the patch each time when you reloaded the game? The date you mention is a critical date whereby the game will crash if the Patch hasn't been consistently loaded. See here for more details: http://www.ehmtheblueline.com/forums/vi ... 50#p142150

Yes I have the game saved on the 25th and I start up the game using the CSD Patch every single time.

I load the save and I can't get to the 26th because the game crashes and Win7 does the ''EHM2007.exe has stopped working'' schtick.

I know this won't be the answer you're hoping for, but a crash on 25 May is most likely caused because you inadvertently forgot to apply the Patch on one occasion. If you have rolling saves then you might be able to revert to one of those, but it depends at what point the Patch wasn't applied. There are certain critical points during the first season where the Patch has to be loaded otherwise it results in crashes later on (such as the one on 25 May).

I can't remember exactly what the 25 May relates to, but I think it is something to do with the Finnish or Russian leagues.

Hey I am new here, so I apologize if this is not the way to ask, but I have some questions about CSD with Manimal Lidas 4.2 rosters, it took me some time to make it all working and I also got that fin suomi_cap 1330 & 1559 errors and stuff, but I finally made it working, even though I did not check russian and finnish leagues to enhanced because I am scared of the crahes:) but I ´ll give it a shot.

Anyway, date is fine, so are pretty much the rosters, but the one thing I am wondering about is the players stats, histories, from 06-07 season to 2010-2011, because all the players in my EHM have stats just to 05-06 and I have no clue why? even if I create my own player and fill in his stats for years until 10-11 they dissapear in the game...?

just a small thing is that my autosave preferences switched to "never" automatically so I was a bit widdled when the game crashed for no reason, but whatever.

In addition,
let me thank all you guys for your posts and kind answers, you have provided me such a big help and I love and appreciate your work.

Thanks a lot.

Welcome to The Blue Line.

The new career histories have been added for a wide range of players and they will appear in game if you use the CSD Patch. Are you sure you downloaded the correct version of the rosters? We have two versions (one of which the histories are pushed back five years so that users without the Patch can benefit from them). This is the correct one for the Patch: https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=A ... 29C5C5!498

Let me get this straight, because I failed to load using the database tool once the savegame is pretty much corrupt... That sucks
So there is no way to fix it if you don't have a previous save?

Well thanks for telling me anyways, I guess I should start a new game then, it sucks but what can you do about it right?

I know, it's a real pain. There isn't any way of fixing it that I'm aware of, unfortunately.

This is the one drawback of using the Patch. On the plus side, at least it's better than being stuck with the 2006 start date.

If I find time, I want to see if I can alter the exe itself in order to modify the start date. This would avoid the need for the present CSD Patch and would prevent the crashes where the Patch isn't applied. It might not be possible however - it depends on whether the parts affecting the start date are encrypted.

Hello,
I'm totally new to this site and conversation, but I bought the download version of EHM 2007 back when it came out, and was disappointed when they decided to stop updating it. Recently deciding to get back into it, I found this site. I have tried to download the custom start date patch, and it hasn't worked for me. I updated the C++ on my machine (windows vista, 32-bit) and the patch says it ran successfully. No error message. But it doesn't change the start date when I start a new game. I tried downloading the manimal roster update for the non-patched version, followed the installation instructions, and again, no luck. I'm totally at a loss as to how I can update my game. Any advice anyone can give (keeping in mind I'm not fluent in code or programming techniques), would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for any help offered!

Hi, i have two different saves running on Maninal 4.1, one game just NHL selected and the other all North American league selected (both with CSD on). The 2nd game works perfect without patching in the selected time dates but the NHL only game keep crashing on septmber 29-30. What wrong with it? And I researched a bunch of times and tried plenty of method but with no success.

You'll have forgotten to run the CSD Patch at one point when re-loading your saved game. 1st October in season one is a critical date in game where it will crash if the Patch hasn't been applied. I'm afraid there's no known way of fixing it - you'd have to start a new game (unless perhaps if you have been using rolling saves).

Road Rage wrote:Hey, just a question about the Art Money / CSD Patch.

6) In ArtMoney, click on the Load button at the bottom of the window and select the CSD Patch file (and obviously click on the Open button to open it). This will load the relevant addresses in the right hand column.

When I drag and Drop the CSD Patch into ArtMoney, nothing happen. Is it normal ? ( When I click OK, really nothing happen. )

Or sometime, it's say that the file format is not suported ...

Have you tried using the CSD Patch on its own? You only need ArtMoney if the CSD Patch doesn't have any effect. Try reading the detailed instructions in the included readme file and try again.

Hi there, i followed all the instruction to the Artmoney trick, it worked.

The problem is, when i start a new game, the start date goes back to 2006.

Also the CSD patch doesnt seem to work aswell, I didnt get any error loading it but the date doesnt change.

I got the same problem as dursac. It's quite anyoing to have a golie that is 13 years old
