Facepack problems on Win 8.1

Post by markmck »

I recently purchased a Lenovo Yoga Pro 2 with Windows 8.1. I'm biding my time with EHM until FHM matures a little bit more. I was able to get EHM 2007 to work without too much trouble... had to contact eLicense to be able to re-install and had the msvcr71.dll error that I was able to get past.

I'm using the [2013-14] TBL Rosters v6.1 (no CSD Patch) and everything is working fine with the exception that I cannot get any of the player pictures to load... I only have the default graphics. It was years ago, and serveral versions of Windows ago, where I was able to get the player pictures to appear in-game. Other than extracting the pictures into the .../players/ directory, is there something else I'm missing or forgetting?

Also, which utility could I use to change the league association for a team's minor league affiliates? I play as the Flyers and it lists 2 ECHL affiliates, when one of them should be in the AHL. I'm guessing I would want to make any change before playing/using that database at all... to late to update this after playing a couple months into the game, yes?

Thank you for your help/assistance/advice.

Regards,
Mark

Have you checked a player picture DOB to see if it's the same as in-game?

PreGame Editor http://www.ehmtheblueline.com/forums/vi ... =88&t=6745 You need to keep the number of teams in a playable league the same, so you'll want to not only move a Flyer ECHL affiliate into the AHL, but you'll need to move an AHL team into the ECHL too

Thanks Nino, DOB was the problem with the player pictures. Once I switched to the patched rosters, the pictures showed up.

I also used the pregame editor to switch teams between the AHL and ECHL and used the ArtMoney patch... everything works like a charm, and I'm happy. :-)
