\'Appy \'Ammer Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 (edited) I'm in a dilemma, and not sure what to do now? I have been spending the last few weeks preparing an update to my '80s style European competitions' file and I have been nearing completion of the project. I have been doing all testing within the editor, and I verified the file the other night. After the 23.3 update was released I decided to test my new file in the game environment. But after setting up a holiday the game crashes within 2 game days. I have submitted a support ticket and initial advice is to remove all custom files to see if game crashes. The game is fine then, so I have added the folders back one by one, and all is ok until I put back my 80s file. Not good. I loaded a save I had going a month ago using the original database and my 80s file, but that too crashes within 2 days. So any save with my old file or new file involved will now crash the game. I decided to verify the file in the fm22 editor to see if it would work. The file works great in fm22 , and i ran a holiday save with no issues overnight for 90 seasons. So something in 23.3 has triggered my file useless. What options do I have? I could rebuild the file from scratch, but apart from taking ages to do, if I am literally copying the file bit by bit to a complete replica, would I not be getting a repeat of the crash. I think if I do rebuild, maybe 1 competition at a time and testing in between to see if the crash occurs. Are there any other better options out there for me to try? Thanks for any advice.

Even if they're competing under the Soviet Union flag it could be that an update has 'fixed' something regarding their sanctions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could try omitting them and see if that does anything. I've someone else's international file for 32 nation world cup's that I've included Russia in and that still works ok. Unless the issue is the clubs only. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowsweatygorilla Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 The 23.3 update definitely did something ... none of my files are working. They all crash in 2026-2027. None of trouble shooting has worked so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just done a few tests, and still have the crashing within a few days. I removed Russian and Belarussian from the 3 European competitions and also removed both countries from Europe>Nations. I feel my only option is to rebuild it from scratch but as I said above, surely if I am just repeating the steps I have done before I will get the same result....a crash. 1 hour ago, yellowsweatygorilla said: The 23.3 update definitely did something ... none of my files are working.

I'd love to know what 23.3 has done. I've had no further response from Sega Support yet, but I bet they say nothing can be done because the game does not crash without custom files. I am quite snookered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet they give you an pre-editor . What a cop out . Its part of the whole package of buying the game isn't it ? Also one reason i found out is pure laziness of whoever does the editor as my issue was the Asian U20s Cup Qualifying was saying it need 50 teams but found none even though my custom file never even used it. So I got into that file and found no teams at all either registered or any rule of qualification . The only thing I could do was delete it to make my file work Just lazy Edited March 6, 2023 by alian62 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
\'Appy \'Ammer Posted March 6, 2023 Author Share Posted March 6, 2023 @alian62at least you were given a message why your file failed. You're then able to use logic to get your file up and running (which you shouldn't have had to do in the first place). I get nothing. Just a crash. That leaves me with absolutely no indication as to what the problem is , but the pre game editor says the file is fine. File even works on fm22 ffs!

\'Appy \'Ammer Posted March 6, 2023 Author Share Posted March 6, 2023 As well as the support ticket (which will get nowhere) I've logged it in the bug tracker. Others have had crashes, not all similar, but if enough people log issues SI may feel obliged to look into it further. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are on Windows and had the crash dialog message appear, what you can do here is put some information in there and tell us exactly what message you've sent, and we can look at the crashes directly. If you're able to reproduce and do that and update either your support ticket or the bug tracker, one of the team will relay your info over to me to look at. Thanks. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fredrik Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 I am a little bit curious about that minor update. Whatever created the problem must have been really obvious to them and very easy to fix. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't get beyond 2 to 3 days. You managed 5 years before your first crash. Mayeb @Lucas could look at your file. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
