This patch fixes a number of issues identified through the error logs.
If you come across a bug or crash which prevents you from continuing your save, please post a bug report on the forums in order for us to give the problem a higher priority. Please make sure you have tried restarting the program and trying again before posting.
Additionally, if you can upload the saved game to Dropbox/Google Drive/Mediafire etc, we’ll be able to track the problem down a lot quicker. See the forum post for more details.
If you notice a problem with a competition, for instance the draw for the next round never happened, or there was an odd number of teams in the draw for a knockout round, please post a bug report containing the season, competition name and round where the problem occured.
We will continue to work on bug fixes ahead of new features until we are satisfied the game is relatively stable. The sheer scope of the game means that many rare issues do not come to light until the game is played in anger by hundreds of users, each playing through different seasons with different clubs and in a variety of ways.
