EHM 2007 TBL rosters 6.3 with CSD patch 1.5

[HellBoy]

Hello Guys,

I am new on a forum but pretty much familiar with EHM 2007 (I purchased a licence and was playing couple of updates).
Right now I downloaded latest TBL 6.3 patch and CSD patch 1.5 in order to start new season with my favourite team Buffalo Sabres.
By the time I downloaded MET attributes editor where I wanted to decrease offensive level of defensemen so I decrease D offense by 30%.
I applied MET attributes editor.
Everything was fine I was fighting to get to the playoffs but then when simulating evening from 2nd to 3rd of April my game crashed.
This happened five times in a row and I do not want how to solve this problem.
Can somebody help me with this matter please? If somebody will need more information write me here or PM message I will be online all the time in order to have this issue solved.

Thanks a milion to everybody who will be willing to help me.

I've moved your post to the Tech Support Forum.

I'm sure Archi can help you out more precisely. But have you read the CSD patch instructions and followed them: applied the patch every time until the date given in the readme, used the first available start date, and so on?

That's what comes to my mind. Like I said, Archi knows this stuff.

Well, I am playing with all leagues selected,starting date Russia 31st of July and applying patch until end of season but unfortunatelly game crash beggining of April.
It is becoming a nightmare for me becasue already fifth time I am n ot able to finish first season.
Hope somebody is able to help me...

Do you get an error message (something about fin_xxx.cpp) by any chance?

The most likely cause is that you inadvertently forgot to apply the patch one time. This basically corrupts the saved game and means that your saved game won't work regardless of whether you subsequently use the Patch when re-loading.

The best way to test is to create a new saved game using the Patch and put it on vacation sim until April. If the game reaches the date ok then you can be sure the issue is forgetting to use the Patch one time.

Hi Archi,

No my message is something like ´there is problem with your exe.file´..
Which Updater are you talking about? You think I can only simulate game until certain date and once game will not crash anymore problem is solved?
May I update CSV file in order to minimize scoring attributes of Dmen?

So I simulated one more time and game crashed again on 2nd of April and error message was again related with exe.file...
I was not able to make an printscreen but to be honest I do not know what can be reason because I played with this setup before with Canes and I passed through draft 2014.

Thanks for your helpfull advice.

I though somebody can help me but looks the problem is bigger
Any idea how to solve this please? I can not reinstall EHM due to the reason I installed it twice (to my home computer and notebook)..
Guys please,please,please help me I am really at the end.

Which Updater are you talking about?

Sorry, I meant "Patch" rather than "Updater". My mistake. This is what I meant: The best way to test is to create a new saved game using the Patch and put it on vacation sim until April. If the game reaches the date ok then you can be sure the issue is forgetting to use the Patch one time.

So I simulated one more time and game crashed again on 2nd of April and error message was again related with exe.file...

Simulated with a brand new saved game or your already existing saved game? You need to test with a brand new saved game.

I just simulated with new created game withoud saving...basically I simulate until draft 2014...
Now I finish another one simulation using TBL rosters 6.3 with CSD 1.5 and MET 2.0.1 version and and progress till draft.
It looks like I can use this combination of utilities and it should work properly (I believe when I will start new game)..
I used older version of MET...can this be reason for issue?

No, the reason for the crash is because you must have forgotten to use the patch on an occasion when you re-loaded you saved game.

Archi I made a simulation once again with changing parameters in csv file of MET attributes editor in order to decrease Dmen points...and game crashed again 2nd of April...
My feeling is once I make a change in csv file in MET game crash.
I used everytime patch when loading the game and game crasher...but there is a question how to decrease points of Dmen if game crashes after changes in csv file.

Can you zip up and upload your edited DB please? I'll check for you.

[HellBoy]

Hi Archi,

How to upload DB? Can you give me an advice?

Guess that was some high quality hockey.

[archibalduk]

It's because you forgot to run the Patch each time you reloaded your game. If you forget to run it and then sim through to around late December/early January then the World Champs play with the first few teams of the alphabet.

You mean the CSD patch?

Sorry for sounding ignorant but havent played the game since a few months and with the earlier roster updates i only had to run the CSD before starting a new game, so anything additionally is new to me.

[Peter10]

One more thing, i tried to edit the database with the current roster moves but it always keeps on crashing, even if i make only one simple change to it. Any idea how to fix it?

[archibalduk]

The readme accompanying the CSD Patch explains how to use it. Alternatively, there's a version here: http://www.ehmtheblueline.com/forums/vi ... 99#p128599

I can't tell you how to fix your DB without you first explaining what changes you made.

[Peter10]

I think I have figured out what caused the crashes. From the patch I always used the Windowed mode and it kept crashing, even with the unchanged rosters. As soon as I used the Standard start mode it worked.
