FHM10 Hotfix 10.3.43 Now Available

A new hotfix update for Franchise Hockey Manager 10, version 10.3.43, has just been released to fix some issues with the last game update (version 10.3.39.)

Your existing savegames will be compatible with the updated game. Some of the fixes will only work on new games, but we believe

This hotfix addresses a few issues with 10.3.39 that we didn't want to leave unfixed until the next full update in February, particularly the problem with some US leagues not being shown on the playable league setup screen, as well as some issues with foreign player limits for teams not native to the league's primary country.

Changes:

-fixed the unselectable US leagues during setup when making playable league choices
-foreign player limits for teams not from main nation is now set properly for all leagues; additionally, that setting is now used correctly by the lineup popup warnings for human GM's, e.g. teams like Dinamo Minsk won't get it while they have >3 foreign players, but rather only when they have the correct >20 amount
-clicking the history tab for the Div III Junior Championship no longer crashes the game
-fixed some issues with the manager notes system that could cause a crash when selecting some notes and make other notes undeletable through the normal delete function
-made a change to the Player data section of the boxscore that should hopefully fix the issue where some users could not see the player names - we're not sure this will be 100% effective for everyone, as there seems to be some variation between what our testers are seeing, but it does seem to work in most cases - if there are further issues, we'll follow up on this in the next update

Finally, a note: I just discovered tonight that the change we made in the update to enable custom tournament editing seems to have also enabled editing for real tournaments (the Memorial Cup, Champions League, Spengler Cup, etc.) This wasn't intended, and we're going to have to disable it in the next update, as any editing of those tournaments will likely break them. Until then, be aware that any editing of those tournaments is going to have very unpredictable consequences; basically, don't do it if you want them to keep working.
