FHM6 Hotfix, Version 6.8.80, Now Available



This hotfix is primarily to correct some issues with historical player imports that were leading to crashes and possibly save corruption. Additionally, we included a couple of other things that could be done without risk of causing new problems.



To apply the update:



-If you are playing the FastSpring version, just download the setup file and install it over your current installation. There is no need to uninstall or unlicense your current copy! However, you should quit the game before installing it, of course.

-If you are playing the Steam version, the game will auto-update if you have that option active. If you don't see the update in your Steam update queue, you may need to exit and restart your Steam client.

Main server: PC Installer Fastspring

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.



Changes:



-fixes stability problems that were appearing after adding several players via historical import

-fixed issues with historical player import that led to players getting incorrect nationalities and birthplaces

-fixed crash when changing teams while looking at the profile of a retired player

-the "NMC's Must Be Protected" option in the Expansion Draft setup will now work properly, i.e. it'll force NMC players onto protected lists A new hotfix update for Franchise Hockey Manager 6, version 6.8.80, has just been released.This hotfix is primarily to correct some issues with historical player imports that were leading to crashes and possibly save corruption.
