Hot-fix patch

This is tiny patch that we wanted to release before the next big one.

Hot-fix patch

Fixes

  • Retired players stuck in squads — retired players are no longer left sitting on a team roster with every sell/contract/release action locked. Existing saves self-heal on load, so any player affected by this is repaired automatically.

  • Retired-player complaint spam — retired squad members no longer send wage-demand or playing-time complaints.

Gameplay

  • Career-start market freeze now works both ways — during the 1- or 6-month starting market freeze, AI clubs will no longer send offers for your players. You can still make outgoing offers at any time.

Transfers

  • Smarter transfer realism — significantly decreased the chance of world-class players leak into bottom-tier clubs. Stars who want out of a top team resist extreme prestige downgrades, weak clubs can't grab elite free agents far above their level, and much stronger contracted stars can't slip into a weak roster.

Localization

  • German (de-DE) — improved menu, labels and prompts: neutral CFO termination text, Globale ERS-Rangliste, clearer training-map limit message, plus Startseite, Nachrichten, Spitzname, Vertragsende, Betriebskosten and transfer-list / termination actions.

The defuser is chosen by who can actually reach the bomb in time — bare-handed defuses are allowe…
