TBL Rosters Crash/Malfunction Thread

[Manimal]

I changed the Date joined club on MacMillan and Brodie and ran two tests and it worked.
The weird part is other players that I didn't change still changed into waiver-exempt!

Maybe we should write a script that ages the Date joined club, too.
Problem is, not all player have set dates here. Some are random (1900-02-01) and some I have no idea

[archibalduk]

Is it because the players you didn't change, but who still were exempt, have a Date Joined that isn't very long ago?

What is the maximum Date Joined that players can have? In other words, how many years in the past can it be without the problem occurring? I remember for the NCAA it couldn't be more than four years in the past.

I could, for example, write a script that checks each Date Joined and sets it to four years ago (i.e. 2007) if the Date Joined is more than four years ago or is random (1900). Would that solve it?

It sounds like a useful future project would be to update all of the players' dates joined to their correct dates. Hopefully once I've completed my multi-editor, this will be quite easy.

[Manimal]

The date joined club stayed at 2005 for those guys. The two I changed became 2010 and then it worked.
They were 2005 before so that is the weird part

I'm new here and have a question. I just downloaded the CSD patch and Manimal 4.0 roster update. Is there anyway to use the pregame editor with those two? I just created myself and a few friends as prospects and we don't show up once the game is loaded with the patch? Please help!

Thanks,
ML

My game seems to be crashing towards the end of February in the 1st year

You just edit the database with the Pre Game Editor like normal. There is nothing different/unique about the Manimal v4.0 rosters other than the DOBs, etc being updated. The reason for your created players not appearing is probably because you haven't set their reputations high enough.

It will be because you forgot to use the Patch when you reloaded the game. The following link will help you: http://www.ehmtheblueline.com/forums/vi ... 54#p132654

There were a few posts in here about a crash when selecting the database to create a new game. As this was an issue with EHM rather than specifically the Manimal Rosters, I have moved the posts here: http://www.ehmtheblueline.com/forums/vi ... f=3&t=8795

I just downloaded the Manimal 4.0 patched version, I changed many players and created myself ( I confirm after each player that i edit and then save ). But when I start the game, NONE of the players have been edited, they are just the same. What am I doing wrong? HELP

Sounds like the old problem of not running the editor as administrator

Database is crashing towards the end of the playoffs, usually Stanley cup series, but its different each time.

Confirmed. Crash date on May 25th, can't get past this date.

[batdad]

Why do people always think it is the database that causes a crash? It is 99.9% not the reason. Sometimes...the game just has corrupted. And it has nothing to do with the db.

Now...try and vacation past the date of the crash and see what happens. But I doubt it is a crash being caused by the db. I am sure others have played well past this date with the db and the CSD patch, and without the CSD patch...so it might just be something funky in your game and nothing to do with Manimal rosters.

[archibalduk]

The 25th May is a critical date in game with regards to the CSD Patch. If you've forgotten to apply the Patch once when reloading the game then you'll encounter a crash on a number of possible dates (one of which is the 25th May).

The most likely cause of your crash is as I've just mentioned. It is probably not recoverable and so you'll have to start a new game (if you have rolled-back saves then you might be able to find a roll-back from before you forgot to apply the Patch).

As Batdad mentioned, it has nothing to do with the rosters.

In order to help other users avoid jumping to the wrong conclusion, here is a list of the common dates on which the game will crash during the first season if you forget to apply the CSD Patch:

1 October 2011
12 February 2012
28 February 2012
15 April 2012
25 May 2012
29 June 2012

It is absolutely essential that you use the CSD Patch to load EHM until you have simmed past 1 Feb/July of the first season (as per the readme.pdf file included with the patch).

Has there been any word on a fix we can do for the patched start date rosters in regards to waivers?

I have only done minor testing so far but it seems like now that I have updated 'Date joined club' for all NHL-contracted players it will work as it should

[desperado462]

Great news Manimal!! Thanks for all your hard work..one last question..I have been making changes based on the latest trades to your 4.0 roster..will the waivers issue be fixed for that version or is there a way I can edit all the date joined without having to do each player manually and, if not, will 4.1 include all the trades up to and including the NHL trade deadline? Thanks!!

If all player had joined at the same time then you could probably make some program to edit all 'Date joined club', but they did not so I changed them all manually. I will have all trades in the 4.1 version

I know little bit stupid question,when can we wait next 4.1 release?

May 25th 2012...

The 3.0.4 patch is installed, I'm opening EHM with the CSD Patch, but still it crashes on May 25th.

Is there any other solution or this game is lost?

Hey everyone,

I just bought this game again, downloaded the latest Manimal roster with the CSD patch. I also updated all facepack and editing some players with the pre-game editor. The game was running smoothly and now it crashes going into October 1st in the first season. Any ideas????

[Loosie]

Have you been applying the CSD patch everytime you started the game? And do you have the 3.0.4 patch?

[NJdevs9]

Thank you so much. I did not know you had to put the CSD patch everytime. Internet high five!!

[Loosie]

Yes, you will need to apply the patch everytime you run EHM until you advance to July 1st.

[Sly83]

hey I've added the latest roster update (Manimal 4.2 database).

Everything looked perfect. Started a new season and at the end of the season...I'd say around the transition from training camp - preseason games. I simulated to the next day and I got a pop up error (comp.stat or stat.comp) with a 4 digit number.

Any clue??
