IMPORTANT Hot Fix 1.70e Release

[puresimmer]

Guys I have knocked out all the remaining important issues on my bug list and included them in a new hot fix. The error reporting stuff I added in the last hot fix has proven to be a HUGE help. That along with some great efforts from you guys (Frozen Stiffer especially) has resulted in a hot fix I STRONGLY suggest you all apply. I also applied some fixes I had already implemented in next year's version. It has some pretty important fixes and robustness improvements.

This is a rock-solid release that no PureSimmer should be without. Download the 1.70e hot fix (3.5 mb)

1.70e Hot Fix Notes

* Fix - Error 91 after the end of a managed game (only happened if the user was managing the game *and* there was more than a 1 day layoff until the next day with scheduled games!) Chalk one up for the new error detection and reporting code yes!

* Fix - Recent bug introduced somewhere around 1.60 making it almost impossible for a human manager to steal in a game they were managing.

* Fix - A few more errors that happend on non US-English systems. (Thanks Bernd!)

* Fix - Changes to try and avoid extremely rare and difficult to reproduce error 70 that would occur sometimes when interacting with grids.

* Tweaks - Some robsutness tweaks to degrade gracefully if certain graphics engine components are unable to load (I have seen this issue with 2 users out there, so it's pretty rare). Typically manifested itself as an error 429 when trying to launch the game.

* Fix - Rare "Automation Error" caused by DirectX issue. only seen on a handful of very specific video card / DirectX version combinations

* Fix - 3022 error that could happen at various times if using a custom imported, non 162 game schedule.

* Fix - Rare "no current record" error from Front Office -> Team Transactions screen

* Fix - HTML Almanac player list by letter showing duplicate entries. You will need to rebuild all almanc files 2 time after applying the patch, this will clear out the issue, if in fact you are using the HTML Almanac feature at all

* Fix - HTML Almanac "page unavailable." This was related to the previous issue, again it will be cleared up after a rebuild of you HTML almanac.

* Fix - In some league configurations for associations created with earlier versions of PureSim, on the Almanac's main screen where it shows the Leagues
section underneath Teams and Players, some times years were being skipped. Again, fixed after a rebuild is run.

* Fix - On some minor league player cards "[OBJECT]" would be displayed instead of a "0" in the stats summary beneath their name.

Just an FYI....On the Installation Complete screen, it still says "1.70d has been installed successfully" instead of 1.70e

Are b and e the only hotfixes that need to be installed? They are the only ones listed on the current version thread.

[puresimmer]

Yea, forgot to update that.

As long as it says you are running v1.70e on the main game screen (yellow text, bottom right) you are all set.

Shaun, the duplicate entries have gone away after I followed your instructions...but the affected players still show stats of all zeros on the players list.
