OK, v1.24 is ready and the best news is the 98/ME startup issue has been resolved. I also snuck in a pretty huge feature

http://www.psmultiplayer.150m.com/PureSim2007-SetupRelease-v124Patch.exe

Changes:

- Fix: Fixed problem introduced in v1.19 where PureSim would not properly start on Windows 98, Windows ME and some pre-SP2 versions of XP Phew! that was a killer. Thanks to VMWare for their awesome virtualization technology that let me build a clean Windows ME virtual machine installation from scratch so I could finally debug and fix the issue. It took 5 hours to finally find it, but I sure feel better.

- New: New option when using real players to bring in players before their real life major league debut. This can be a cool option if you want to play with real players and more than 35-man rosters. Players are brought in a few years in advance based on their age at the point the debuted in the majors. Their ratings will be adjusted accordingly. This is optional (default=off) via the "[x] Import Players Prior to their Major League Debut" option on the initial "Association Customization Options" dialog that appears at initial association creation time.

Thank you Shaun!!!!
I now have all my imaginary friends back!!!
And I take back all the things I've been muttering about you for the last 5 days.
You do more work in 2 off days than I do in a month.
Take the rest of the week off.

Outstanding.
 
I assume that the new option is only available for new careers.

That is awesome.........thanks for more customizability!

Yea, I'm so glad to get that 98/ME error behind me!

That was a great idea! Thanks!

By the way, in patch 1.22 you seemed to fix the error of 'thinking' AI in my historical sims...GREAT WORK!!!

ITS CHRISTMAS IN JULY!!!!!!!!

Wow, thank you, Shaun!!! That's ... wow ... that makes me very very happy!

My convalescence has taken new life! [;)]

Now if only I had air conditioning...

Man, that was fast...I can't wait to try this out but I'm enjoying my 'fictional' historical career. Reports please from anyone who tries out the new real player early import system.

sahweet! Nice job Shaun!

Click on the above link and save to your HD (somewhere -- I always have a directory called My Downloads with a PureSim sub-directory inside of it).

1) Double click on the saved update patch file.
2) Click run.
3) Agree to the terms and fill-in S/N.
4) Make sure the update patch is pointing toward your installed PS2007 directory.
5) Click "next" two or three times (I can't remember exactly). It will start the update.

Wow! Love it. To start with ALL real players is just what I wanted.  Also, to have a truly "national game" beginning in 1946, with 27-yr old Jackie Robinson on the Brooklyn roster, is so cool.

Thanks, Shaun. [&o]

PS With the accelerated entry of guys like Richie Ashburn, Nellie Fox, Robinson et al, the depth of talent at the start of the Golden Age is truly astounding.

I downloaded the 124 patch and each time I start the game I get the message shown below: I am using the deadball era.xml file, so I guess that it is going to have to be changed also. Anyone else see this?

Actually I am having problems with this link as well. I have downloaded all others with no problem. Instead of downloading it the file the normal way I get a very quick progress meter which finishes in about 2 seconds...way to short for a 30 MB file

Instead of the usual Icon I get with the patches the icon is a blank box.
I run and it pops up a dos type box and hangs.

Not sure what is up but I can't seem to DL this either.

Same. The link isn't downloading anything for me.

But how impressive to jump from v1.22 (last time I looked) to v1.24!

And great work on tracking down the issue, Shaun. Great effort.

the link isnt working for me either

Yes, you must upgrade to a new "deadball era.xml" file. Every now and then Shaun changes the master XML file, therefore, it must be upgraded.

How exactly is the early import feature used?  I created a PureSim Classic association.  And I just tried to import a real player.  After typing out his last name, I switched to the first name field, and the game consistantly crashes on me (runtime error 94, invalid use of null).
