I've been kept busy this week and have been unable to check in here, but I did get some time to run some test this weekend. Unfortunately I continue to reach the same conclusion: the game is crashing shortly after the completion of the 2nd season, and I'm then unable to load the league file. Renaming "faces.dat" to "faces.old" allows me to get back in (minus all the player pictures). This "fix" is temporary, though: after a few more seasons the same problem will occur and I'll again have to lose player pictures to be able to continue play. Generating pictures for just the main league does not prevent the crashes from happening.
Obviously this is extremely frustrating. I'd like my owners to be able to get into their ballplayers, and part of that is getting familiar with their pictures. If I have to regenerate those photos every 2-4 seasons, though, the feature is basically better left off - no sense getting people accustomed to a picture that will soon be lost!
Although I'm sorry that your boy is having this problem as well, it's good to see someone else posting about it. I imagine there are others having this problem as well. Hopefully anyone suffering from similar crashes who stumbles on this thread can leave a post - maybe we can learn from each other's experience.
Nutlaw, thank you for the assistance you've been providing! Judging from how far back posts on this topic stretch, it's clear this is a tough nut to crack. I don't expect you to be able to fix this issue yourself, but can you suggest a next step to take? I've pretty much exhausted my testing options on this end, and my league is a little over two weeks from beginning play. I'd absolutely hate to have to explain to them that we're turning off player pictures forever. Would it help for me to send over my .dat files?
