The game doesn't work. :( After the spinning Throw In logo, I get the following message:

Which is weird because I checked and the file was there!
Note how the second 'a' is incorrect though... perhaps it is a regional settings thing?

Great work Foxy!

I have just quit out of a practice game, and windows XP died with a blue screen crash. My PC is usually very stable, but I'll see if it can find a cause.

It's not exactly a "Windows fault", it's more of a Blitz Basic fault with unicode I think. Why don't you just use standard latin characters and not accented ones? It's better than forcing the users to change their regional settings.

I think that the settings that actually needs to be set to "English" is the "Language for non-Unicode programs" settings, under the "Advanced" tab in regional settings.

rapTor_sonofsuns wrote:bugs :

- i changed the squad before entering the match, but the loading screen shows the default lineups

- beckham goes to see victoria ( gets inside the stadium) than come backs when it is a corner , to take the corner. (upper goal)

- as soon as a penalty is given the goalie leaves the goal going to the touchline ( i image he is thinking isnt this "throw in" :lol: )

- when taking the penalty referee continuosly moves circular annoying

- when ai dribbling sometimes it dribbles the ball which is on air

- goalie holds a second ball sometimes ( it was in the previous version too) while match is played with a ball

- training didnt load a black screen


all of them (with the exclusion of the penalty bugs) are the kinds of bug i was talking about. They are known and easy to be fixed.


- ai is obviously cheating it doesnt look good when ai dribbles the ball it ruins the nature of the game, and the ball is not going by the ball physics but the desire of the ai .

I know what you mean. I'm planning to implement CPU loosing ball control already in the next beta.

- player switching sucks, off the ball player ai sucks too , sometimes i am not the player closest to the ball and he is just watching the game!

Everytime you feel another player should be the best one to be controlled, move the joystick (in the direction from the player you want control to the ball) and push button. If you push button you will always select the closest player to the ball but remember to add the direction with the joystick. However switching players is definitely improvable.

- players showing with just a % rating? i cant compare who is faster? who shoots better? why? am i missing something?

No you can't, i wanted some kind of hidden stats

- circular shadows

they'll disappear in the next version :)

- raptor heads advertisement is missing :D

Damn! We'll solve this problem

well another bug in penalties ball percentages of the teams are not initialized at 0 so they are some hexadecimal numbers :lol:

know problem

my champs l. match got crushed when starting the second game against barca with chelsea : memory access violation

This bug is related to BLitz3D compatibility instruction. It depends on your gfx card, i'm sorry but i can only suggest you to reload the game.

rapTor_sonofsuns wrote:- when i am throwing in from right side bottom of the pitch attacking downwards , throwing in to upper side , the ball didnt go in to the pitch and the referee gave a goal kick !!!!


- the referee called offside for etoo but he kept on playing and shoot&missed the game continued with a goal kick !!!!

- a long range shot keeper saved the ball inside the goal referee decided a corner kick !!!![/quote]
strange enver happened to me i check what's wrong.

- when you alt-tab in a game you may return in a complete vector mass no graphics but some polygons moving etc

i'm sorry but alt-tab is not compatible with the game.

- Goal Werder Bremen indicator doesnt fit to the box writing oal Werder Bre or smth like that

also F12 button is not checked whether pressed in replay screen when you press it in game , it pops up saving screen immediatly a replay is shown

and one more suggestion, change the ball percentage by counting the last man that touched the ball instead of the man is in control, as ai is cheating they all get much higher percentages because the ball glues to their feet, when i am dribbling i let the ball go and capture it again which hampers my percentage ( i think so )


thanks for your report

I'm sorry but it seems there are problems with Vista+8800. You have to wait newer drivers of your gfx card.
Thanks, Gianluca

Thanks Steve, sometimes you can get a random crash when returing to the menus due to Read/WritePixel instructions that sometimes may crash the game with some GFX card

Yes, it worked. However, that's something of an inconvenience to me, as I have to restart my PC every time I do it. Do you think you can take Spyros' advice and fix it, Gianluca?
