squeeze play crash

bot_o0o · 03-11-2002, 10:28 AM

i was recently playing a game and used the squeeze play option with men on 1st and 3rd, and when my runner scored the game crashed back to the desktop. (it was not the winning run)

anyone else have any problems like this?

Not since OOTP3... are you playing with OOTP4?

I'll try and see if I can get into a situation to recreate this.

Known bug, Markus has said it's fixed in the next patch.

KDog1749 · 03-15-2002, 12:17 PM

Yeah - I've definitely had the problem (repeatedly - I must remember not to squeeze). Hope that patch comes soon...

Yossarian · 03-15-2002, 01:15 PM

It's out, and it didn't help. Successful squeeze = crash

KWhit · 03-15-2002, 05:19 PM

Actually, I haven't run into this yet with the patch so I don't know if it's still there or not.

But, just to clarify, it doesn't happen every time there is a successful squeeze. It's wierd, but it only seems to happen if the squeeze ties the game. I'm not sure of this since it has only happened to me 2 or 3 times, but I am sure that it is fairly sporatic. So keep an eye out as to the exact situation where it occurs if you can, and I'll do the same.

[Using Rolen's rosters]
Bottom of the 9th, tie game, runners on second and third, one out, successful squeeze, game CRASH!

Not happy

Just happened to me again, too. I patched the game yesterday, and per the newsletter did so again today before starting it up.

Situation: Bottom of 9th, bases loaded, 1 out, my star "bunt-for-sac" guy at the plate. Successful squeeze and crash to desktop. I was playing the league leader too and could've used the win.

System:
OS: Windows 2000 (fresh and updated)(in as admin)
CPU: AMD XP 1700+
RAM: 256 MB PC 2100
Hard Drive: 3.89 GB free
DirectX: 8.1 (but both graphics options are off)
Video Card: ATI All-In-Wonder Pro (Rage Pro chip)

Let me know if I missed anything.

Thanks!

Keith

Happened to me, too. What a drag...

I've now had the oppertunity to squeeze bunt in non game winning situations. The bunts were well, but I found another bug. If there are players on 2nd and 3rd and I use the squeeze successfully then the text reports that the one on 3rd scored and standard advancement for all other runners. Then, when the next batter comes to the plate, the runner on 3rd has disappeared and my team has scored an extra run. Weird and a little disconcerting.

Same specs as above post.

Thanks!

Keith
