1. Most of it was "false flag" from AV program, so in order to download or execute the program, please do disable your AV apps.

2. If cannot download using google browser, which it state "malicious malware" found or program is a threat, do download using other Internet Browser like mozilla or IE.

BrooklynIslander, I have the same problem with EHM Assistant than you. When I try to load a game in EHM Assistant it says "can't find any objects or game not loaded ehm". I have reinstalled EHM few times, but that doesn't help. Don't know what else I can do..?

E: Loaded the new version of EHM Assistant, which came out yesterday. Now it says "Can't find any EHM objects (Staff count =0)".

Word of mouth advertising on a NASCAR forum in which I moderate that has 400+ active users that I know has at least resulted in about 15 confirmed purchases based on discussions I have had with people on that forum since, and who knows how many people they recommended too or how many simply never mentioned back that they purchased. This puts money in Riz's pockets.

I appreciate your concern though, sir. Have a good day.

This gets an Islander-fan style, YES! YES! YES!

Whatever you did here has resolved the issue. Thank you very much!

As a moderator of a forum, I would hope you will appreciate why comments like this are wholly unhelpful.

The number of posts a user has made is not commensurate with their technical knowledge of troubleshooting technical issues with memory editors. Their posts are almost exclusively regarding hockey and EHM/FHM. To complain that somebody is unable to explain why the editor is working on their PC is really unfair.

Even in the latest file there seems to be missing players, I just noticed both Dougie and Freddie Hamilton are not showing up in the assistant, which is making trading Dougie off the Bruins particularly hard for what Calgary gave them yesterday...

Ok, I load the game, get back to EHM assistant and get it going.

Tried the 15.6.1.8 nothing happens, program just stops and "Program not responding" appears on the screen
After closing the program tried it again. This time the I had a black screen, size of the program.

Tried TEST version, "Saved game is not loaded"

Tried 15.6.1.7 "Eeastside Hockey Manager is not running" (There's a typo)

Is there a 0.1.0.1 version that i could try?

The saved game is from 15.6.1b

Edit: Does it matter if the game is saved compressed or not?

No, it shouldn't. The Assistant doesn't look at the saved game per se. Rather it reads what is the game has loaded into the RAM.

I think I have found a work around to find 'missing' players. Couldn't find Adam Henrique when filtering players through club contracted but when I searched for the Devils under the Club tab at the top one of the options was a squad list, which included Henrique on it, and allowed me to check his profile. Not sure if it'll work every time but I don't see why not :dunno:

Don't know should I post this somewhere else (is there even a scout program wishlist), but...

Is there a chance to have the same type of "Star rating" on players as there is on FM Scout?

The stars would show will the player use their full potential during his career as in 5/4,5/4 stars would be considered a sure thing, but with 1 star even player/non-player with a PA of 200 player wouldn't make it to the ECHL.

Just a thought.

Thanks again for the program... :notworthy:

Is there a rating/Attribute that determines whether the player uses their full potential in FM? There's no such thing in EHM (a 200 PA player would make it well beyond the ECHL...a 200 PA player would always be at least a very good/star NHLer in EHM)

I don't think it's a attribute that tells us that. I think it's a combination of mental and physical attributes, for example I don't think a player with 200 PA will make it to ECHL if has problems with self confidence or his workrate is very low (less than five). Also injury proness doesn't help a future superstar.

No, a player with a 200 PA will always make it to the top level of the game, and will perform well in it.

I guess I'll have to test this. Stick a 18 year old prospect in the DB with PA 200 and have his work rate, bravery, consistency low and set his injury proneness high (Let's say 16).

Think he'll make it to the NHL and do well?

I think he'd make the NHL and when not hurt do well

Work Rate is important, but a 200 PA player could get away with a very low rating (he'd be a "floater" or "goal suck" type player)
Bravery could be 1 and it wouldn't make a difference IMO (most 200 PA type players don't block shots/go in the corners much)
Same with Consistency being low...200 PA type players can be inconsistent, because their "off days" are still better than most

Since the game got updated we need a new version of this, right? Or does the TEST version work with the new game version? Not at home atm, so can't check.

Now that I have been able to use the assistant, I want to thank Garfild first for helping me and others get over this hurdle, and secondly for this amazing addition that you have created. The test addition couldn't be any easier to use.

I want to also endorse this for all players to use, and you don't have to use it to replace your scouting staff. Simply resist the urge, when loaded, to check any players PA. (Just a suggestion, that may be too hard to resist. It has been for me!)

But the value comes in this: We all have our opinions as to the strengths and weaknesses of players in the NHL and other leagues. You may feel that a particular player has their ratings too high/low across the board. Or you might just be thinking something simpler like "this guy may not be that good, but he is awesome at faceoffs and should at least have a great rating there". The assistant lets you do that. EHM researchers have done an awesome job putting these player ratings together, but its your game, and you should feel free to change things you disagree with.

Or, maybe you know one of these players in person. Personally I live near a major D1 hockey campus, so I actually know a couple guys who are in the game. They will never play in the NHL or even the ECHL, but in EHM, I can uptick their rankings just enough to where they can have some semblance of a career within the game.

There's a lot of little things you can do with this, all while retaining your scouts.

I highly endorse.

I don't get it. Still having problem with the new version. This time it says the saved game is not loaded.

Is it possible that the assistant has something against Acer-machines and their RAM?

No it's got nothing to do with what RAM you have. It'll relate to your system environment - e.g. you don't have administrator rights (ensure you're running the Assistant as admin) and try disabling any antivirus software.
