It exits to windows when I click on a free slot. It worked OK when I first used it - I created one player bur since then not only I cannot add any more players but also the game exits randomly during matches! Everything was OK before. Or maybe the rason is this Russian kit importer I installed?

Did you import 2GK (= 768x768 or above) goalkeeper kits also?
If yes, you can bet it's the reason for crashing, It crashed Fifa2005 also and that same thing happens in Fifa06.

From experience I know that prior to install something, you need to take a full backup of your zdatas, fifa.db and language.db, if something goes wrong restore...

The Fifa games are really picky with memory and if you install too many adboards, kits, faces, boots, balls or whatever it will crash back to desktop giving an error in fifa.exe once you exceed the reserved memory, and using teams with 2GK keeper kits installed makes it crash no matter what... don't ask me why but it happens.

To avoid as many crashes as possible, always install 1GK keeper kits, 1GB Boots, 1GF faces and 1GA adboards. 2GK kits for referee and field players and 2GB Balls are ok to install unless you play two big teams against each other.

In Fifa 2005 I had to remove the 2GB Balls also when I played matches between these five teams (I had full squad faces, 2GK kits ect ect)

- Barcelona
- Real Madrid
- Arsenal
- AC Milan
- Bayern München

Good luck.

The only thing I installed was two kits (home and away). I didn't install GK kit nor anything else. Do you use "kit working deluxe"?

The player creation screen crash bug was also present in the first version of Kit Raptor for Fifa2005 also, Ariel Santarelli then released a fix for it, it should be the same error the game is crashing this year in that particular game window.

Another obvious reason for crashing could be that the .big and .fat files don't get properly rebuild after adding graphics in them (kits,...),

The first fatbhbuilders for Fifa06 are only direct modifications of the Fifa2005 ones and I suspect them to not do the job at 100%, as there are far more zdata files and to rebuild than there were last year and/or maybe the file structure slightly changed.

I guess we'll have to wait for new versions of kit raptor, chant raptor, big raptor and other tools to be able to get rid of the crashes as each year. (I remember I had to reinstall Fifa2005 32(!) times entirely before there were stable tools, that's why I always take full backups now before every modification)

Yeah, I reinstalled it about 89990230 times as well but I never really got the result I wanted, wasn't able to install any adboards and the game always crashed after subs had been made so I had to quit subbing my players, which sucked ass. The problem is there isn't really too much 1G stuff to choose from as all the editors concentrate on 2G. Thus you have to choose whether you'd like to play without subs but have updated graphics or have have a stable game but no updates.

You can use the editor's stuff and resize it to 1G yourself, at least I did, take for example an addboard fsh file made in 2GA, okay you extract the 3 bmp's with EA graph Tool, you resize them from 512 x 128 to 256 x 64 in whichever graphical program you prefer (psp, the gimp, photoshop), import the textures back into the fsh with fsh editor and install those in your zdata files, takes longer to write than to do.

I did that for faces, goalie kits, adboards and boots, not as pretty as 2G stuff but it's stable and it beats the default EA crap by miles...
