A new hotfix update for Franchise Hockey Manager 5, version 5.6.57, has just been released. Your existing savegames will be compatible with the updated game. Some of the update's fixes may not retroactively correct certain problems in existing saves, but we've made a particular effort in this update to repair problems with existing saves. This update fixes a few serious issues that became evident over the holidays that we didn't want to wait until the next full update to fix. The data has also received a partial update - we did happen to have a research deadline last week, so we decided to use the data from that, but since this wasn't a planned update, the rosters aren't necessarily completely up-to-date. Changes: -adds automatic retroactive fix to Suomi-Sarja playoff problem so saves that have it can be continued - if you have a save that is crashing in April, this will probably fix it -AI lineup adjustment now run on nonplayable teams about to play in a playable tournament (Champions League, promotion/relegation, etc.) to correct any roster problems that may have developed on those teams - this should fix the majority of crashes in the early part of the season -fixed an issue that could prevent KHL from generating a schedule in later seasons -fixed a problem with multiplayer draft that could result in game becoming non-continuable once the inaugural draft ends -tuned movement of remaining free agents to nonplayable teams on November 1 so higher-level nonplayable teams aren't flooded with players, resulting in a cascade of game-slowing transactions and potential roster errors -fixed potential crash that could occur if users started a game between version 5.5.54 and the 5.5.55 hotfix -fixed id issue with csv export that was giving many players an id number of -1 -using the save button on the edit league screen no longer adds a large amount of money to the team budget -fixed some dark skin issues: achievements with black-on-black text, home region for scouts not highlihgting properly in the assignment screen. and action button turning black when pressed -league/team records regenerated to fix a few issues with the earlier versions, e.g. duplicated 18-19 NHL season stats for some players breaking NHL single-season records
