So, I have this dynasty going on (see sig.)

And the following happens:


Aaaaaaaauuuuuggggggghhhh!!!!

You've got to be kidding me.

Bizarre things happening to my FOF.

I gotta mail this one to Jim, I think.

I quit the game. Came back. Got a "license expired" error. No problem. Re-install license. Game launches fine.

Roster is empty.

EMPTY.

And there are no free agents. None.

So is every roster in the league. All empty.

Except one.

The Dallas Cowboys.

I don't get it. But somehow, every player in the NFL is now on the Cowboys roster. Under contract. They're about $412 million over the cap. But they have every player in the league on their roster.

Weird.

Needless to say, I have no older saves, and this pretty well fucks my dynasty. Unless I can somehow write my way out of it.


I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Would it do me any good to send you the saved game? And how do I do that?

Thanks...

Sounds like the direction MLB is heading with the Yankees...

License expired? I've never received that before. I always thought it was 'Unlimited'... http://dynamic2.gamespy.com/%7Efof/forums/images/smilies/confused.gif

Early prediction: Dallas wins the Solecismic Bowl.

Trust me, I won't let that happen. Even if your a cowpies fan, this is bad - their cap is totally blown to hell. They'll just cut everyone, take an overwhelming cap hit, and then the league will basically have to start from scratch. Only, the AI will probably grab all the good players. And I'll get nothing but crap.

Dola... if I try to sim the first week of pre-season, the game crashes.

I think you have no choice but to kill Jerry Jones and Jimmy Johnson.

Somehow I think Ardent had something to do with this. :D

Franklin, you can't load up your last saved game?

Franklinnoble

Nope... that WAS my last saved game.

Unless Jim can perform some small miracle, I think my game is doomed.

I doubt that Jim will be able to help you since you were fiddling around with the draft files... :(

Well, I figure it doesn't hurt to ask.

No reply from him yet. :(

I did.

Ethan just now wrote back.

Basically, there's a new issue with the ViaTech e-licensing software that seems to spontaneously trigger the copy protection, forcing a re-license. Obviously, for me, it had unpleasant side effects.

He said this was a pretty rare thing until very recently, and I'm like the third person to report this in the last month or so.

Lesson: Back up your games.

I did.

Ethan just now wrote back.

Basically, Jim liked the team name "Gila Monsters".

He said this could have been avoided had I renamed the Cardinals to the Gila Monsters.

Lesson: Go with Gila Monsters next time.


Fixed that for you.
