A new hotfix update for Franchise Hockey Manager 5, version 5.5.55, has just been released. Your existing savegames will be compatible with the updated game, but some of the update's fixes may not retroactively correct certain problems in existing saves. The main purpose of the hotfix is to fix a crash bug that had the potential to affect a lot of people, particularly in long-running games; we didn't want to leave that one around over the holidays. A few other things we'd worked on since the 5.5.54 release also made it in. Changes: -fixed a potential crash-causing bug that could make a game impossible to continue if certain teams were promoted to playable leagues (fix will apply to existing games and prevent future crashes like that as well, no need to restart) -fixed crash when saving an online league after the commissioner makes a contract offer to a player on behalf of a human GM -expansion teams will now hire staff properly in all game types -cleaned up the CSV standings file so each league doesn't repeate the team data for every team in the database -when highlights mode is set to many/average/few, the popup rink location will now be displayed at the bottom-left instead of the centre of the screen, as it is for other modes
