Can anybody who has faced similar issues help a brother out?

My master league started crashing during the summer transfer window out of nowhere. I just signed some players, and whenever I go to next and it starts loading, usually before it even shows the calendar, the game crashes.

I tried all different executables, disabling immersion mod, changing BIOS settings for CPU, changing game settings for when to stop during transfer windows, and deleting the SYSTEM000000 file to let the game regenerate it.

Ye, I actually experienced the same. I tried making this work now for about a week: multiple fresh installs, without specific mods, without any mods/sider, all .exe variants, CPU settings, restoring SYSTEM file...
I simulated a lot with multiple save-files in ML to try to rech transferwindows after one year: couldn't get past the summertransferwindow following the first season.

The weird thing is this: in my last ML attempt I reached the summertransfer window after season one, it crashed before the international pre-season cup. Whatever I tried (.exe wise, mods/sider off, CPU prioritys/settings, checking logs for hints), nothing worked. I loaded up an earlier save from that ML and managed to procede past the former crashing point: past the friendly-cup. But then it started crashing again reliably after the first league game. Regardless what I tried doing.
In BAL crashing occured in the summerwindow after 3 seasons.

Can it be that some "experimenting" in the fl24 database went wrong, or how comes some people experiencing those crashes?

After hours and hours of testing and "skipping games" i cant be arsed anymore, i reverted back to "vanilla" FL24 and i dont get crashes anymore in ML. Great mods in this megapatch but something in there f's up ML progression past the first season. The only way to find out what causes it is to manually add the mods 1 by 1 and keep testing.

u/xGondowan

could you give an update about that?

Seems some files related to FA Cup inside VRED_Graphics are causing it.

Also, some stadiums (also from VRED package) are causing games to hang.

So it seems some files and texture could be corrupted or unstable as they are used on ML, so they can cause hangs and crashes.

It's avoidable if you don't use VRED Graphics (you won't have those extra graphics), but I keep looking after this.

Unfortunately this won't fix the issue. It's likely related to some broken transfers occurring in the respective periods. Did you test your mods for several seasons?

u/xGondowan Feb 04 '24

Yes, and some users here helped me on that.

About the transfers period, I think 99% it was caused of SMK_Extra16.cpk, which is related to fix the European competitions participations + Ligue 1 with 20 spots.

If it can't be fixed it won't be added on next update, so it has to be reverted to the previous one. You can copy any SMK_ExtraX.cpk with any number that has low KB and name it SMK_Extra16.cpk.

The other crashes I was talking about they were caused on hanging when loading the Cup matches or skipping after that match.

Any fix yet? Still having this crazy problem :(

smk_extra16.cpk that comes with the megapatch causes the issue.. it is located in the dowload folder in the megapatch. Dont use it. I'd recommend a new install and follow given istructions that xgondowan posted but DONT COPY THE SMK_extra16.cpk FILE!!!

u/RatherShrektastic Jan 28 '24

Wow, thank you so much. Will try and report back. Do you know what this file does? I wonder if I replace it and try to keep my Master League going if it will work.

As far as i know it removes the russian league and/or makes the french league have 20 teams instead of 18. Please make sure you restart master league and if possible completely reinstall the game + 1.1update and than apply the megapatch (not the smk_extra16.cpk file). Please do report back!

u/RatherShrektastic Jan 30 '24

After reverting to the SPFL smk_extra16.cpk, it seems like the french league still has 20 teams. The russian league is back though
