I've been playing EHM since this winter.
I started a first run with the Montreal Canadiens and everything went fine, played until 2022.
Up for a new challenge, I started as unemployed (hall of famer) and basically applied for every job that opened.
I got hired by the Fife Flyers of the Elite British League, the worst team of the league without enough player to even fill the 4 lines.
Finished last, but now I've been reconstructing all summer to try to get better.
PROBLEM:
After playing for many hours to rebuild the team completely (only resigned 6 players), the game crashes while trying to Continue (sim) from July 15th to July 16th 2017.
At first I tried a couple of things and found out that resigning from my national team (Switzerland) fixed the problem. So I reloaded thinking I found the fix and that I would try to empty the roster instead because I wanted to keep Switzerland.
I emptied the roster and it didn't work... screw it, I'll play with a national team another time. Reloaded, now it crashed even if I resign from Switzerland... darn I should've saved!!!

When I click on Continue, it sims the afternoon, then goes to evening and crashes there with "Eastside Hockey Manager has stopped working" "A Problem caused the program to stop working correctly..." etc.
This doesn't happen when I continue with my old save with the Canadiens (older database).
I'm using 9.5 or 9.6 with the Fife Flyers (can't remember exactly)
What I've tried so far (most of them at the same time):
- Go on vacation to avoid the crash
- Stop all scouting
- Remove all players from shortlist
- Read all email
- Resign from Nation
- Resign from team
- All players to "resting"
- Clear roster
- Switched all GM options to the opposite
- Set all leagues to "View Only" except my league
- Set EHM process to "Real Time" in Windows Task Manager
- Reinstall the game
- Remove background images, profile pictures, new images (from preferences)
- Changed all the Front office "tiles" to something else (league leaders, schedule, etc.)
- Terminated all staff
- Buyout all players
- Release all players
- Sent all players to the minors
- Disabled auto save
- Unsub from facepacks
Not too sure what else I can try !?
I haven't edited the DB prior or during my playtime.
I was saving compressed, now I learned that it might cause some problems, I'll disable it for the future.
Any help and tips are welcome, I'd really like to win with this team
Let me know if you need more information!
