Locks up during schedule generation

Dogzilla · 06-12-2006, 03:18 AM

Everytime I try to create my universe the game locks up during "creating schedules". It will get 70, 80, even 95% done then the pointer changes to hourglass and it stops there. I haven't had the patience to wait more than 10 minutes with it like that.
It works fine with small universes (less than 5 total leagues). It even works with all the preset leagues--MLB, plus all INT and winter leagues. Since that is a pretty large universe, about as large as the one I am trying to create, I wonder if there's any league structures that the AI has problems generating schedules for? I'm using:
1 32 team 2L 2D 8T
1 32 team 2L 1D 16T
2 24 team 2L 1D 12T
2 24 team 2L 2D 6T
2 36 team 2L 3D 6T
2 20 team 2L 1D 10T
1 16 team 2L 1D 8T
3 24 team 2L 3D 4T
1 16 team 2L 2D 4T
My computer is a P4 3.0GHz w/1GHz ram and an ATI Radeon 9800 running XP Home w/SP 2
Any ideas would be appreciated. I'm testing with different sizes and structures.
Oh, I am using the latest patch.

Same thing that happened to me on the demo. 2,8 ghz, p4 with 512 MB of ram. My league had more teams than any of these, but locked up at exactly 50%.

I guess I feel a little better than my problem has a number.
