Cricket Captain 2016 Bug Reports

[AlexB]

What was the match situation?

I assume by 4th session you mean the morning session on Day 2?

What happened immediately before it froze? Was a new ball taken? If so, which new ball was it?

I had a freeze a few days ago on iOS immediately after taking the new ball. Can't remember the exact situation, but fairly sure it was day three, I was bowling in the second innings of the match (i.e. We'd batted, it was their first innings), and think it was the first new ball. Whole screen was dead, had to shut down and restart. Most annoyingly my rookie opening bat and rookie middle order bat both got much needed centuries before the freeze; while the middle order guy has done well since the restart, the opener hasn't come close to rpeating the trick - not sure he's got over 50 yet

My post corrected, it was the last session on the 4th day of my county match

I was attempting to bowl, and the opposition had lost its 8th wicket and was heading for defeat.

Had you bowled any deliveries since they lost their 8th wicket?

If not, had you done anything between them losing their wicket and trying to bowl (ie, gone in to the field editor or accessed a player profile or gone in to match analysis?)

How many overs had you bowled in that innings?

Games froze on me during the 4th session of my county game.

I had to kill the game and start again.

Games froze on me during the 3rd session on the last day of my county game.

I had to kill the game and start again.

I was about to bowl a team out and win the match.

Playing as Canterbury in NZ I have had 2 issues when I've had tied T20 games. Both times the game has crashed as soon as I've clicked to move to the next screen after a game has been tied. I'm playing on Mac.

Under NZ playing conditions these would be super-overs though I'm not sure if Superovers are included in the game.

Mac update is out with a fix for the NZ 20 over crash. There's a full fix-list in the stickied update thread.

Still coming across sides without a keeper playing.

[dsedani]

Awesome ...any update on main Indian players not available for IPL ?

[Sureshot]

Just put them up.in a new thread (and posted announcement on Steam)

[ashhh]

Are there any patch notes for the latest update?

[GrahamB]

Players returning from international duty generally seem to come back with almost no form.

[Sureshot]

Okay, great news. We've reproduced the NZ 20 over crash bug. This will be fixed in the next patch.

Big relief, it was awkward to repeat.

I can't run the game anymore since the update. When I try I get "Steam not initialized. The Steam Client must be open to play this game." I've verified my game cache and I can run other steam games so I don't think it's a steam problem...

Edit: Redownloaded it and it seems to running fine now...

Seen this a few times, it seems to be related to either account permissions or anti-virus software.

Sometimes just restarting your machine can sort this kind of issue out, or like below it just sorts itself out.

Looking online, there seem to be many "fixes" for this. Start off with restarting machine as that's probably easiest. Mind you, with the game being such a small size, reinstalling completely shouldn't take long.

I don't know if this had been mentioned before, but I could not progress to the 20/20 finals in the NZ competition. My last match was a simple equation for me: win and I go through and lose I don't qualify. However, as soon as I hit the winning runs I immediately crashed out. Thinking it was just a glitch, a replayed the match again, winning it and it crashed once again. I used the save button when I needed 20 runs to win this time but whenever I hit that run I immediately crashed. After 6-7 failed attempts, I gave up and conceded to a loss just so I could progress my career. I am on iPad air. Cheers

A few others have reported this, but we can't repeat (yet). If we had a save for this from before it broke we could fix quickly. I assume you no longer have that save?

1) What group position were you in before that game?
2) When you won, do you know what position you would have finished?
3) With the win, would you have finished in the play-off positions based on more points than anyone else or better NRR, etc?
4) Were you playing someone that was ahead of you in the table?
