Jim825 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Don't confuse portraits with cyberfaces. Having incorrect or missing portraits will not crash the game. Having missing cyberfaces, however, WILL cause it to crash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadranger Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 well, i tried installing the game again. i completely uninstalled mvp 2005 using revo uninstaller. i reinstalled mvp2005 into a separate folder on my desktop instead of the c:programs directory. i right-clicked the mvp2005 folder and checked to allow everything as administrated for mvp2005. installed the 1st 3 patches into the game and installed mvp13 into that folder on my desktop and double-clicked the exploder file into that same desktop folder and ran the game and here is what i did when the game started: - clicked 'play ball' ok - selected season mode - ok - selected difficulty mvp - ok - organization - select - stl - ok - went through the audio, video, game, & tuning options - ok - selected 'season' mode - ok - went through the schedule and simmed the first 11 games one by one and they all played out ok - selected game 12 on the schedule to play and clicked go! - clicked play on the 'play-manage-sim' - ok - clicked on go! on the pitching rotations screen - ok - clicked on go! on the starting lineups screen - ok - clicked 'play' on the 'play-manage'sim' screen - ok - clicked go! on the controller screen which showed stl as keyboard 1 and pitt as cpu - ok - clicked go! on the stl road unis and pitt home unis - ok - clicked go! when on the pnc park night screen - mvp screen started loading, then crashed to the desktop i tried it again making sure i right-clicked on the mvp2005 icon and selected to run as administrator, and it crashed at the same point in the game i'm really sorry to be such a pain in the ***, guys, but i really wanted to play this game again after years of not playing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim825 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Have you tried just running an exhibition game with different teams in a different stadium to see if that works? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzcoolj21 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 i seem to have the same problem as ranger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 it's a cyberface issue with that crash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yankee4Life Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 If Homer says it is a cyberface issue then it is a cyberface issue. There is only a handful of people on this website who know cyberfaces as well as him and the problems behind them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadranger Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 how do i correct a cyberface issue? i thought the conversion would already have the corrected cyberfaces. i'm just about ready to give up on this game. i've already spent almost as much time trying to get this to work as i was playing the game before. i can't even get faces to show up in mvp edit even though i've followed all of the suggested posts. as i mentioned before, the conversion mods are the problem. i had crashing problems when mvp08 came out and just went back to playing the original game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim825 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 In MVPEdit, did you select Tools->Options from the menu bar and then put a check mark on "Show Faces"? If you don't do that the cyberface won't show up on the Appearance tab. If you can get that to work, import the rosters into MVPEdit, and then go through each team one player at a time. On the appearance tab, make sure that a face shows up. Note that the generic faces (IDs 901 - 915) won't show up. Every other face ID should show up. If the player has a face other than 901 - 915 and a face does not show up then that tells you that the face is not in the models.big file and that would cause your crash. Did you try my suggestion of trying to play an exhibition game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadranger Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 haven't tried an exhibition game yet, but i will. yes, i have show faces checked and no matter what roster i load, it shows 'no picture found' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadranger Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 tried exhibition game - same thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadranger Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 something else baffles me. i can completely uninstall the game with revo uninstaller and get rid of everything that has the words ea sports or mvp2005 in it in the registry and in the directories, but when i re-install the game and play it, it still shows my profile info and my game settings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzcoolj21 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 well, your profile is stored in your documents. you'd have to delete that mvp folder as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 haven't tried an exhibition game yet, but i will. yes, i have show faces checked and no matter what roster i load, it shows 'no picture found' look up MarkB's faq list. he discusses how to adjust the settings in mvpedit so you can see the faces. you need to direct mvpedit to the correct data folder. EDIT: in mvpedit, go to Tools>Options Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadranger Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 i'll look up and print MarkB's faq list like you mention, but i've checked and unchecked every combination in mvp edit and i've tried data, database, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 then something isn't installing right. you might check that directory to see if the models.big is there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadranger Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 i can't find markb faq anywhere on the site. i've typed in faq, mark b, looked in the forums, looked on help, looked on mvp. where is this post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 if you go to the mvp section of the site, there are several important topics pinned. this is one of them: http://www.mvpmods.com/index.php?showtopic=12410 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadranger Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 i did find my saved mvp2005 stuff in the documents folder. thanks. i went through every folder in the game with windows explorer and i didn't find models.big in any of them. also, when i went through each folder, i noticed there were only 4 stadiums listed in there. i'll try to play a game with one of those stadiums to see if that works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 then you need to reinstall your game. something's not right with your install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadranger Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 i'll try it one more time. i completely uninstalled mvp2005 and the file in the my documents folder, re-installed mvp2005, re-installed patches 1-5, re-installed mvp13, and made sure portraits.big, models.big, and all stadiums were in the game directories etc and set up my profile and option preferences in the game, but before i try to set up a dynasty, i need to know is when it asks if i want to use the default rosters or not, do i select yes or do i select no. i shouldn't assume, but i'm assuming the mvp13 rosters are now the default rosters and i should choose yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 i would recommend to use the default ones since you have yet to have a working install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzcoolj21 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 if your using windows 8 try compatibility mode. That's how I got mine to start working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim825 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 When you install the patches, you only need to install the last one you want. Every new patch contained everything from all the previous patches (e.g. Patch 2 included patch 1, Patch 3 included patches 1 and 2, etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadranger Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 i do have a working install and played fine with the initial game with the default rosters - it's when i install mvp13 that causes the problem, but anyway, i re-installed the game and patch 5 (using windows 7 64) and installed mvp13. i didn't want to try playing or simming a game yet until i make sure i'm using the right rosters. the first time i installed mvp13 and set up my dynasty, i selected to use the default roster because i figured that's the way mvp13 was set up - using their roster as the default roster.
