Bug reports - Version 9.12

[the_trademarc]

downloaded trial using version 9.12; purchased game through the web; used activation code given; however, game does not load, only loads back to trial screen with options to activate a license, or purchase game.

used re-install license option, then got message saying license had already been registered.

shouldn't game just load normally since i purchased title and used proper activation code?

E-mail softwrap with your account details and purchase reference and they will add more licenses to your account

What kind of specs have you got/What system are you trying to play on?

[TheDevil666]

Not sure how to check system specs but am playing on xp pro.

I'm pretty sure it'll be something like Control Panel -> System -> Hardware or maybe just Control Panel>System.

It has 2.80 GHZ and 512 mb of ram. That's all i can find.

Start > Run > DXDIAG then press enter. It will tell you everything about the computer.

DirectX information you need to check regarding the Graphics card is as follows.

-To check the Driver of the Graphics Card, click on the Display Tab at the top of the screen, look in the Driver details section on the right hand side and check that the Main Driver: information does not read vga.dll.

-Look in the Device section on the left had side and check that you have information regarding your Graphics Card in the following fields.

1.Name: ( this should display the make and name of the Graphics card option you have installed )
2.Approx Total Memory: (This should display the amount of memory that you Graphics option has to utilize) this should read 64MB or higher.

If there is no information in the Name: or Approx Total Memory: fields and the driver name is vga.dll then you will need to obtain information about you Graphics Option ( from your PC specification or manufacturer ) and install the latest driver for that option from the PC manufacturers website or the Graphics Chipset Manufacturers website.

Strange that it ran the trial, but giving the could not get caps device for the full game. Let me know what your system specs are from the DXDIAG report. If you don't want to manually search for the driver (although it is easy once you've done the DXDIAG tool), you can use RadarSync, which is a free tool which will check your computer for out of date drivers and tell you what isn't up to date.

I've played two county seasons i full and had one player total retire hurt (from the opposition luckily). Might be bad luck, or I've had good luck I guess.

What were their fitness levels at? I tend to notice, that if a player's fitness level is less than half, his potential to get injured increases quite significantly.

Which makes sense, for both bowlers and batsman when you think about it.
The key is to keep your players as fit as possible, if you don't have enough physio sessions, maybe try resting a player from a game or a couple of OD's to gain fitness.

When a player scores a number of wickets without going for any runs, it does not show up in the bowling form as in this example.

the retired hurts were from the opposition,i've had at least 2 retired hurts in every test series lol,very annoying as i dont feel as if i actually won the game,i only have to take 9 wickets

It comes down to fitness levels of each team. If a player has very low or no fitness bars, his chances of getting injured are greatly increased. Perhaps your opposition were in this position.

I think it also has to do with the aggression of your bowlers. An aggressive fast bowler, I find, is more likely to injure a batsman,than a defensive one.

there has been a total of 5 retired hurt batsmen in the 5 test ashes,KP,Flintoff,Marcus North,Michael Clarke and Strauss,my bowling aggression was normal,i didnt bowl many short pitched bouncers and these injuries happened in the first 3 tests
