I don't know what you're disagreeing with me about... I just said what I did to make the game work. Of course everyone else got it to work right. But, I did what I had to in order to make it work. I don't know if this is being viewed as some "knock" on the mod or what, but it's not. Guess I have to say that? *shrug* Knowing hardly anyone else didn't have this issue doesn't help me try to fix it or track it down, unfortunately. But I started this thread hoping to find a problem, not to draw some criticism about the mod or make some point or statement. I understand that experienced folks can't reproduce the problem, and so it goes in modding, especially one as complex as this. It's probably some EA problem, or maybe a driver I have or whatever. I just wish I knew what file(s) were causing the problem because I'd use the fifatools thingy to just replace those files. But, again, that's EA not doing what other devs do and say what the game is loading or what files are being read. Thanks, EA.

Okay, this doesn't make sense. I took the models.big from the 08 Mod and put it in my MVP 13 mod directory (backing up the one that was there first, of course) ...and the game loaded! Got to the game, played. Only glitch was a black Bryce Harper from the neck up LOL I didn't try editing or anything, but....WTF?

You and me both Even tried other modes to see if SOMETHING would work. HR derby, mini-games, nothing. Can't edit a player either, which might point to the cyberfaces as well? But, I'm sure everything would come with it to make the mod run, so that wouldn't make sense either unless a bug, and then more would have the issue... Ugh ugh ugh

Tried clicking the Run as Adminstrator in compatibility mode options - no luck. Same result - crash 50% loading exhibition game. Left box checked and tried right-click and Run as Administrator in the right-click menu. Same result - crash at 50% loading exhibition game.

Used Firefox, got the MVP13 file. Tried the same process - clean base game with patch 3. Used the explodeme. Install went fine. Game loads up. Try to play exhibition game...same crash in same spot - trying to load the game up, bar halfway, then crash to desktop.

LOL Well, I guess I'm destined to play MVP08. MVP12 didn't want to cooperate either. So I decided to try 08. Worked without a hitch! At least I have a working version of the game. From here, figure I can just load some rosters up? Probably should make a backup of this since I know I have what (I hope) will be a working base.

Nope, no change with compatibility modes. The Year Changer works now for whatever reason, but the game itself keeps crashing at the same spot.

Ugh - at a loss for ideas. Tried a reinstall. Stopped at Patch 3 this time. Moved to the desktop. Did the MVP13 install thing. Same problems. Can get all the way to play a game and while loading the game up, bar goes halfway - game dies. Happens if I run from the desktop or the original install directory. Guess it's time to try compatibility modes...

Nope Still shows Harper as 12 and crash still when trying to start a game (bar is half filled, in case that helps anyone). I couldn't find a schedule updater utility, but tried Dylan's schedule maker. Got the Astros in the AL though, so that's a plus!

Will give that a shot - thanks for the quick response

Installed MVP 05 Grabbed the MVP13 mod. Extracted to an MVP13 folder, then copied everything to my root MVP 05 directory. Game loads with no issues. I get the main menu screen. I can navigate menus. Music plays fine, and I imported 9 new tracks and edited the .loc I see all front end graphics and texts. However: -Ages are off. Bryce Harper is 12, for example. He plays with the energy of a 12-year-old, but he's not a supertalented 9th grader Attempted to edit players causes a crash. Attempting to play a game causes a crash. I tried other roster files, same issues (Harper is 12, same crashes). When I look at the roster in MVPEdit, the ages are normal. Wonder why the game is showing the wrong ages when in the roster .dat files they are correct?? I can get to the game setup screen where you pick your profile, uniform, etc. Uniforms show (no black boxes). I'm playing on Win7 64-bit version. Gfx card is a GeForce 480. CPU is Core-i7 3500K. 16 GB RAM. Any suggestions?
