crash following July 31 trade deadline

southmonaco · 06-23-2008, 07:11 PM

Using Windows Vista Home Premium, SP1
Intel E6750, 2 GB RAM
OOTP9

Started modern MLB game, played about 12 years, game crashed after auto-simming past July 31 trade deadline. Reloaded game, crashed again in auto-sim. Attempted to reload and sim day by day using "finish today" button, game still crashes immediately upon hitting button.

After about 5th attempt to reload and move forward, noticed that my MLB team's pre-July 31 roster has disappeared and been replaced by a bunch of minor leaguers. I've tried to get more data but at this point the game will crash upon hitting any button, so it appears that I'm out of options.

Note: anti-virus was turned OFF while these crashes were occurring. Also, crashing during the days following July 31 also occurred when I was using auto-sim in OOTP8, although with that game I was able to continue by manually hitting the "FINISH TODAY" button until Sep. 1.

I have no idea if this problem is repeatable; might have to sim 10 or more years with the same game setup to find out, although as I noted above a similar problem (maybe the same problem) occurred with OOTP8.

Did the game possibly crash while saving?

No, the game crashed in the middle of auto-simming. I was trying to auto-sim from July 31 to Sep 1 and after reaching Aug 2 it just crashed. As I mentioned, the OOTP8 version sometimes had the same problem, specifically in the first 2 weeks or so following July 31.

Unfortunately I deleted the entire game once I realized that it was corrupted. I'm about 10 yrs into another game with the same basic setup and I'm trying to see if I can recreate this issue. I'm using version 9.0.27, and so far haven't seen a problem. I'm not sure yet if this is good or bad news.

You might give me a couple of days to see if the problem reappears; if I don't see anything after 20 yrs or so I'll assume it was fixed by the patch.
