Hello,


This might be like a bottle in the sea, but i try:

I've trying to play usm2 again recently. DosBox gives me a weird bug: I don't have youth players (aged 17) at the start of each season. Every player grow old each season and with no-one to replace them, the game stops after a few seasons : No-one to hire and not enough players in the team to play.

Anyone got an idea?


Thx

That it is a bug strange, but it is better try to install the game again...it may work :w00t:

No, reinstalling doesn't change anything, but I think I found a way, not to solve completely the problem, but at least to keep playing. I edit the savegame (USMF0001.SVE) with a hex editor (ultra-edit). I can edit the age of all players so they get younger.

(So it can help : The first not-null byte right after the player name is the age).

The weirdest thing is that at the end of the list of players (in the savegame), there is youth players! I just don't see them in the transfert list (and the other teams don't seem to see them either).

If I was not so lazy I would try to understand where in the file it is written which players belong to my team.

I think now the only people that can do something are the developers of the game. Someone know their e-mail adress? Should I write to sierra (I think they bought Impressions)?

I found something interesting : My scout sees 17 years old players. They are in european teams, and in CN1A (in the france league), but not in division 1 (where I am). They seem to buy every young player before I can have the time to at least see them in the beginning of the new seaon.

I think that some CPU-speed difference is the origin of the problem, and even dosbox doesn't emulate perfectly (I have some weird bugs on other games too). But no problem, I know that young players are there somewhere. The game can keep going on...
