Yo! Read the first post on this thread....
Ockham has said that one's computer might freeze for a bit while processing transfers. If it is something else, please explain the events up to what happened.

It depends on processor capacity and power: with my P4 3.2 a good 90% of the times the transfer freeze goes ahead after 30/40 sec. I suppose that with other types of processors the game has more possibilities to don't go ahead. Anyway, as I wrote many times, the technical motivation for this is given by the fact that the CPU is not able to manage such many new players and teams in transfermarket, so SOMETIMES it can crash during transfer. The solution (while other editors are trying to understand how to avoid this problem with some modifications to fifa exe) actually is:
1) lowering the possibility of transfers: this is what I did in career.ini, and I'm keeping testing searching for a definitive solution. Actually there is a 2% possibility of CPU transfers, this means that sometimes, when this 2% verifies, the game can freeze: but not always. I'll lower more this percentual in next version and the CEP will be focused on 4/5 years career. Why? Because after 3/4 years the possibility that the game freezes is higher: because players begin to retiring and the teams need players to partecipate in competitions: thus, the CPU is forced to do some transfers, and the game will crash. On this point I will: a) raise the age of retirement of the players b) lower the minimum number of players in a team necessary to partecipate to a competition c) lower the percentual of CPU approaching the transfer market.
2) Anyway when you encounter such a freeze, you can reload your savegame, quicksim or replay the match (I know, is a mess that you can't save the game exactly after the match and before market simulation) and there is a very good percentual that the game keeps working.
I hope we can be able to find an alternative solution soon: the CEP is the first patch for Fifa series that adds (instead of just replacing) so many teams and players, this is why we are encountering such problems, not known until now. Maybe there is a way to fasten CPU market management, and in the future we can completely remove this limitation. In the meanwhile I can just proposte the solutions I wrote above.
Be sure anyway to use fixed config.dat included in CEP homesite: that is the one that is used with CEP for testing its stability. If you are using another config.dat I can't help you avoiding this sort of problem.

Another important patch project joined the CEP: Mohammed Talaat project of African Cup of Nations joined the CEP that will feature this african competition in next version. I updated CEP homesite with many other news and some links to must-have downloads.
The most important new, I think, is that I decided to delay 0.11 release after january transfer market so we will have updated european teams rosters.

What does the "fix for low-power-processors"download do exactly & can it be installed AFTER CEP version 0.10 has been installed & you've started a career allready or do you have to UNRAR it BEFORE you start a career in version 0.10?
I assume my 1.8 processor is seen as a "lower"processor, not?

Hey OckHam! Question for ya...
How does the computer pick the referee colors for matches. Sometimes, I like to play with my favorite team (DC United from MLS) and their home colors (or primary kit color) is black. Sometimes, I get a referee and linesmen who wear the black referee uniforms and I was wondering if there is a way to choose what color a referee wears during a match. I know I could just turn the referee and linesmen off, but I like them out there just to complete the overall look of the game. Any ideas would be appreciated! Thanks again for yours and everyone else's hard work on the CEP project!

Ockham...
is it possible to add,
Serie C2-A, C2-B, C2-C?
and/or even Serie D?
Serie C2 Website = http://www.lega-calcio-serie-c.it/it/squadre.htm
Serie D Website = http://www.interregionale.com/
it would be awesome...
thank you..

I absolutely don't know, sorry
For serie C2: maybe, but only if I'll find a collaboration with a serious italian fifa community that is not unusefully jelous of his work and that has a sane open-source and fifa-community mentality.
For serie D: sorry, surely not.
An important new: next release will feature an exe-for-dummies installation (NO importing/replacing/ruiningbigfiles process: just a guided process for unraring some files...): I noticed as is not clear to everyone what means: unrar in main directory, execute fatbhbuilder and delete Fifa06 docs&settings dir.

You mentioned that due to the CPU having to do transfers when players retire, the game can freeze more frequently after 3/4 years.
My question is: Does this mean the chance of freezing even occurs when YOUR players retire (as the CPU probably "creates" a new player every time another one retires)? Or doesn't it matter as long as your squad is big enough?
I'd like to know, as if even your own retiring players influence the freezing, I'll have to sell some 30+ year old players from my squad before they retire.

Argh, I hope you will leave the old way installation also as my hair raises on my back when I see patches with .exe files!
As for the game choosing the referee colors it depends on the settings in the table_teamkits and the color codes there. The game will (try to) pick a referee kit that is different from the colors in there.
For example, when you change kits with kit raptor it just changes the kit graphic but not the color codes inside the database, so in Fifa2005, where I use this season's kits for some clubs I had a referee show up wearing a yellow shirt and black shorts on Barcelona away matches! (same colors as the ref), I changed the color codes inside the table_teamkits to match the new kit imported with kit raptor and since then the referee never showed up in yellow again...

thanks for your responses guys!
Billy1969, I read your tutorial on adding the third kits and I'll look into that with kitraptor. I was going to update all of MLS with the new jersey's that Daniel created over at fifa4fans. I think I saw a referee patch there too. But, right now, I started a career with Sheffield Wednesday and shouldn't have a problem with referee color clashing.. I tell ya, another thing I was curious about (and this is for EA) is the possibility of the computer ai to randomly generate stats and scores for other leagues. Here's what I am talking about. I started SWFC's season 2 nights ago and their season starts in late July. I know that MLS, Brasil, and some other leagues are into their seasons and I was just curious why the computer could just generate stats for players and teams when looking for transfers for your team. Say that there is a forward/striker that is playing here in the States and he has good stats (goals, assists..) but his morale is down from one instance to another (let's say that his team is in the bottom of the league). I could go to the statistics page and look at all the leagues from around the world and their players and see that this talent is being wasted on a bad team. I could try to offer him a contract and I know that I am getting a good player that would bring goals in (if that was what I was looking for). I hope that makes sense in what I am trying to explain. It's something that can't be addressed but hopefully added into FIFA 07. Also, Is there any way of setting MLS up into 2 conferences (East and West) and playoff system to match. Yeah, I know it's not the traditional soccer way, but that's how it is here in the States... Thanks for any input or feedback!

Well this dummie will gladly download it!
