I know that the mysterious "Crash to Desktop When Subbing for an Injured Pitcher" bug doesn't affect everyone - in fact, those who are affected appear to be in the minority. Which is why this bug is easily forgotten.

But for those of us who are affected, this is a huge problem, and we'd like to figure out why we're the only ones who are experiencing it. Did something happen to our league files at some point? Is there some setting or configuration common to our leagues that might explain why it affects us but not others?

Numerous threads get started about this issue by the few frustrated people who deal with it, and then they get buried. I'm sorry to start yet another one, but this one has a different aim.

The only way to figure out why our leagues experience this bug is for those of us affected by this issue to post information about the type of league we're playing. Maybe we'll be able to find a commonality that will help Markus and co. make sure they've fixed this bug. So far I've heard "we're pretty sure it's fixed" for OOTP 9 - I'd feel better if they were certain.

I'm not sure how much depth we need to get into, but for now let's just start with the league type (historical or fictional), the year you started, and anything else unique you think might be worth noting. Do you remember a time when you used to be able to sub for an injured pitcher without a crash?

Here's the related tech support thread on this issue: http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...er-injury.html

So Aaron Spew, Big Orange, munson66, Simmo13, Ktulu, OldFatGuy - anyone who posted in that thread and anyone else who is consistently running into this frustrating issue - please post any details you can about your league here in this thread. I'm not sure we'll be able to come up with anything useful, but it's really all we can do.

Thanks everyone!
