A quick note of thanks to John Herson of the APBA Game Company who helped me save my Urbana Locomotives of the Boys of Summer APBA League which uses Baseball for Windows.
Early this week, I fired up League Manager to set my lineups and rotations for a BoS road series and I got a nasty “Access Violation” error. I got a similar error when I brought up the Advanced Draft program too. It didn’t just affect my Boys of Summer League organization, either. My 1961 BBW replay was hit with the error. Even the protected season organizations wouldn’t display.
After troubleshooting it for a day or so, I contacted APBA. John Herson asked for the pertinent information and some screenshots of error messages. Eventually, he needed to me to send him some files so he could investigate.
It didn’t take him long to find the problem. An Urbana Locomotive lineup file was the culprit. It was corrupt and was gumming up the works. Once I deleted it and loaded the current F-file from commissioner Shawn Baier, I was back in business. Now, my Boys of Summer organization as well as 1961 will load just fine.
I don’t know, though. During my “absence” when my Locos were set to autoplay with no intervention from me, they went 3-3 against the first place Traverse City Panthers. They seemed to do ok without their GM.
After a miserable start this season, the Locomotives (47-40) are four games back and just three back of a wild card berth as we just passed the halfway mark in the season.
Thanks again to John Herson and APBA for getting me back on my feet!
Hi Tom,
Just curious about what type of file the lineups were. I was originally going to play the 61 season but had an issue with my INI file. Skeet fixed it for me, but curious just the same.
Well remember that you like Connie Mack also own the team so you can not be fired.
Like you when I have had a technical problem John and company have quickly stepped in.
