P.s I am sure Steve or I could do a basic short schedule to test it has we both done schedules for the league before.


Leon has some spare time first week of November so could help walk someone through TOM then. Email in if you are interested.

Will we get the use of the CK back so we can trial our exports to find out who our best performers are?

And on that note I just tried the CK button in the chance that it was restored and the game just hangs with not even a message that it is not responding. Latest patch too - 1.043

If you still have patch 1.026 you can overwrite the latest patch and get the ck back.

i have not updated since 126 for this reason most of my enjoyment comes from seeing who the best is in CK
because you just cant work that out in game

I have updated and I dont want to play an outdated game just for the CK even though I am currently thinking about it. Mark, can you restore it? I don't believe scrapping a feature is what we, the community, want anyway.

I'd appreciate it greatly! :)

As we are reverting to the older method of exporting for competition it can probably go back in for now.

If anyone get's a crash entering the kit they should email in their hdb_?.dat file.

Yet another fault of mine. The CK button works fine now. Problem solved.

Mark, with this upcoming league reboot will we be able to use horses from the transfer pool like the previous league or is it still going to be what you said in the first post in this thread...

So the advice remains the same. Do not breed for the league right now. It could be that current horses can run but I can't confirm this yet.

One restriction that has been added is related to transferred horses. They will not be allowed in the export pool.

Mark I've just updated my game and now it's saying there's no exported horses and when I put my my hbd file in it still says there no horses in there.

And yet when I open this one up

They are there.

I have just checked my exported horses even the ones I exported yesterday are not in there so nearly two years of exported horses are gone.

Changes are being made to revert to a setup similar to before. On some machines it seems this causes a problem. A patch will soon be released. As always backup your files just in case. It is a good idea to backup the hdb file anyhow as the game does not create a backup of this file currently. Put the files back next patch and it should work. Hopefully the option of running kit races will be in next patch. It may appear the same but under the hood it needs to use new code.

Now you are making me curious. Any chance the outcome is going to be a little more predictable? Is there an actual change to the way CK operates? At the moment it feels like "in-game" results are way more consistent than CK results.

In any case. Thanks for restoring the option. :)

The changes have been mainly to a layer of code between the menus and the race processing so not much has changed in the race code. There may have been some minor tweaks but the races are generated using the same code as in the game.

It should now be possible to trial horses in the export database as of 1.044. Please report any problems. Backup your HDB file to be safe.
