FOF 8.0, How To Avoid A Particular Crash

[Ben E Lou]

I've sent this on to Solecismic Software, but thought I should make y'all aware: when you advance from Pre-Draft To FA1, do *not* have the Trade screen open. That is causing a repeatable crash.

I'm also getting a not-every-time crash when I advance that stage and have the Players Of The week screen open.

There may be others. I don't have time to go through all of them now, but know that at least those two screens being open will cause a crash at that stage.

I did some more testing and have more info: actually the issue appears to be isolated to the trade screen, but DO NOT OPEN IT AT ALL prior to FA1. Even if you open it and then close it, the game will crash when you advance. (And unless there's been a change in FOF rules that I haven't noticed, there's no urgent need to open it before FA1, since you can't make any trades until after you've advanced to that stage anyway.)
