RaptorQuiz Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 A fellow user here PM'ed me with a problem he's having with his installation of the '07 mod. I was unable to find an answer for him by searching, so I'm just gonna ask out here in the forums to see if anybody remembers the solution to this issue. Hey, I'm pretty new to these boards and I have successfully installed the 07 patch. The game is sweet, no problems at all. But when I try to sim a couple games to move the schedule along, it will randomly crash on me. It will sort of make a "crash" point, so that no matter if I sim to that date, or play thru that date, it will always crash my owner mode. It seems to happen most frequently with my first home game of the season. I have successfully played into my third home game, but it will always crash. It crashed pre-07 patch, and now post in the same spot! Any help would be totally awesome. I have looked at the boards, and it's not a hardware issue in my opinion. It is neither a uniform issue, and I'm not 100% sure if it is a stadium issue. Just wanted to know if you knew right away what it might be. Thanks Root Any help would be appreciated, I'm sure.

Roootin420 Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Thanks to RaptorQuiz for posting this tech question. It's unbelievable how many people have read this post but don't have an answer. I hope this isn't too specific of a problem, cause I love this game, but only playing Exhibitions and Mini Games is pretty weak. To reiterate the issue: I have 07 successfully installed, and it loads just fine. I can play exhibition, mini games, home run derby, etc. The problem resides in owner mode. I have experienced this same crashing problem in 2005, even before I had 2007 installed. (The way I installed was 2005 first, then the 07 mod and the other patches). I was hoping this would fix the issue, but it did not. I can play about a week into owner mode before it crashes down to Windows, with no real info to go on. Could this issue be coming from the "created" stadium in Owner mode, because I have the problem during my first "home" series as the Mets. I can play a home game or two, but it will crash mid way thru a game, or even at the end of a game. The next time I load the game, if I try to play thru where it crashed, or sim thru where it crashed it will ALWAYS crash at the same spot. Could there be something wrong with my schedule file? Let's take 2007 out of the equation, and see if anyone has any answers for the original 2005 crashing. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Patch 5 (which is what the 2007 mod uses, I believe), I could never get a game to start in my created stadium in owner mode. It worked fine with Patch 3. Edit: Are you creating a saved game with the 07-maker, and then quitting the 07-maker? Or are you doing this in the 07-maker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfalvey Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 It's probably not the same issue you have, but I had the same problem with my dynasty crashing while simming games on a certain date, I think it was April 10 or 11th. I couldn't get past that date regardless of what I tried. This was awhile ago and I'm pretty sure was with the stock MVP game. The issue had something to do with my using the .sav version of SwinginSoriano's roster. When I started a dynasty using the database files of SS's roster I had no problems. I'm not sure if this info helps you at all, but I thought I'd at least mention it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roootin420 Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 I have tried both ways! I tried to create the Owner mode in the regular game and it froze, then I tried to make the Owner mode with the 07 maker, exited out and then back in the full version, but it still crashes in the same spot. I have uninstalled 3 times and reinstalled and it doesnt solve the problem. I didn't load any patches either, just the 05 full version and then the 07 mod. I am thinking that I should uninstall again, and just load the 07 mod, and load the 05 cds when it asks for them. Maybe that will work. EDIT: btw, thanks for the responses so far, I was fresh out of ideas at this point. I have to figure out what is wrong with the original 2005, since it happens in that under owner mode. ********************************** 2nd Edit: There is definitely something wrong with Owner mode. I was able to Sim an entire season on Dynasty, so whatever is wrong has to be coming from Owner mode. If anyone had this problem, and solved it, or has any ideas on how to fix it, I'm all ears..

jchorneau Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 you know, I have read your posts after I continually had problems with my game crashing. So I tried simming the game for that date, but the next day it still crashed. So, instead of playing at Angel Statium, which was scheduled, I played at another stadium that I knew works, and it worked. So, I am sure my problem is when I am playing at Angel Stadium. I remember having this problem before, when I was playing with MVP 2005, but I don't remember solving it this way. I think there was a patch that fixed it. Anyway, I wonder if it is memory,.like I need faster memory, or more memory in my Video Card. I know some memory is not a good as others. I know it's not that I haven't enough, because I have 1096 mb of RAM. I hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
