Cricket Captain 2016 Bug Reports

[estmsm]

Were you stuck on a screen within match, or during a highlight?

On a screen within a match.

Thanks for a great game guys.

I am playing the Android version. There seems to be a bug where I can select a bowler to bowl at both ends in consecutive overs. I found this out as I will click on a bowler, but then the bowler above the one I selected is identified as the bowler.

This has happened in various save games.

Just so we know exactly what you're saying, can you confirm this:

So you take the captaincy (of Australia?) and as you're in charge of the national aise, you're missing the final (or final stages) of the domestic OD comp?

I'm not captain of Australia. I just start with captaining Victoria in one dayers and Melbourne Green in T20s. I can play the one day tournament but it will just skip the final if I've made it then at the end of the season I'm just no longer in charge of the one day side. I should also mention I'm playing on iPad

Just a bug I've noticed when playing in the Australian career. If I choose to just play one dayers and T20s and have to earn the captaincy it will make it so that I'm no longer in charge of the one dayers either at the final or at the end of the season. I've tried it a number of times and happens each time

Only a small bug, but batting averages not worked out correctly if a player hasn't been dismissed.

Derek Daniel scored 39 NO in his only OD appearance so far, so shouldn't have an average yet, but the game has him with a 39 average. Sure it will be right as soon as he is out, so only a short term mostly cosmetic thing

(Was going to load a screenshot, but playing on iPad and the image is too large for upload. Hopefully makes sense though)

Interesting point, I've logged.

This has been a bane of ours, it's pretty much the "perfect" nightmare bug. I have repeated it a couple of times, but not in debug. It seems to be do with batting beyond 160 overs in the first innings, but, it doesn't always do it. In fact, most times I've batted long, it doesn't.

Unfortunately if you load a save from before it breaks, it doesn't, as it's clearing up the problem with a reload. This is our preferred method of creating repros for the team to fix, as it speeds up the fixing process.

FYI, if you press Escape (or Enter if the highlight is focussed on the message box that is/isn't there), it will work. It'll also work if you left-click in the area where the OK button should be. Escape key works best.

Needless to say, we're still looking at this, but having to fix it blind. Which is nasty and time consuming.

Sureshot.

I must have hit escape in my keyboard flail Good to know you guys are aware of the issue, and thanks for the reply.

Update - Let the game sit for a couple of hours. After returning to it, everything seemed to be in a frozen state still. I proceeded to mash the keyboard for a few seconds and it unlocked into perfect working order. No idea if I triggered it originally, but no need to worry.

Phew!

Game has frozen up immediately after I took the new ball. Pretty frustrating, anything I can do to save the innings? I'm 1-0 down on tour of India and it's been a really good response to have them 8/250 needing another 29 to avoid the follow on.

Bought and downloaded CC16 this morning, menu comes up but then windows kept shutting it down, been through the forum and on the FAQ'S and tried every bit of advice etc but it still will not work, any more advice on what I can do or may be missing?

Yes, please, unfortunately that's why it was missed in the last patch.

I've now fixed him, please do keep all database feedback in that thread, it makes it easier to manage if it's all in one place.

Thanks, sorry about that, will do in future.

[Sureshot]

I would chuck it in the database updates section tbh
