Confederations Cup stops happening

[Lucasjeha]

I've had a crazy issue in my save game. In the 2009 edition of the Confederations Cup, one of the matches clashed with a FIFA Club World Cup match and was rearranged, it caused the whole schedule of the competition to be rearranged as well, with that, the 3rd place playoff match wasn't played. After that the competition never refreshed again, I'm in August 2011 and the 2011 edition didn't happen and it's still stuck in the schedule of the 2009 one. How can I solve that issue?

Thanks in advance!

I'm already in late 2011 and it still keeps the 2009 schedule





This Germany vs Japan match never happened and it should have happened way back in 2009





Even with the final match Croatia 1 - 0 Yugoslavia played, the game never refreshed the rankings, setting it back to 2007!!!





I'd really appreciate some help, I can't figure out how to solve it, I'm quite amateur when it comes to understand the issues the game can present.


Thanks in advance!

Are you playing with any official patches v3.9.68 and / or Tapani / Saturn patches?

No, I'm playing the original database of the game, with just a few changes I've made using the editor, mainly to fix players nationalities that are incorrect and to change a few NT colors. Is there any editor I can use to update in-game data to have the Confederations Cup back happening?

[Dermotron]

No, it would involve using something like Olly to edit the save game.

This can happen to any competition with third place games; it usually happens to the Confederations Cup and the Asian continental competitions.

I don't think you can fix it once it happens in a save game. The best way to prevent it is to disable the third placed games altogether in the exe before starting a new game.

So there's a solution to that issue? Olly is an editor? How should I proceed to download and use it?

Thanks a lot!

How can I disable it? The CM Editor only allows to change the colors and the history of the competitions, but not the number of teams or the rules at all.

Thanks!

You need to open the cm0102.exe in Ollydbg and change at 0058B7A6 the line MOV WORD PTR DS:[EDX],3 --> MOV WORD PTR DS:[EDX],2. There are instructions on how to use Olly in the Patches forum.

Thank you very very much! This will disable 3rd place match for Confederations Cup only or it will disable for WC? The WC works perfectly here. Thanks again! You have amazing knowledge! By the way, are you the developer of the patch that many people talk about here?

It will disable just the Confederations Cup third place match. I noticed that you're playing with the .60 exe so the line of code will actually be at 00575556.

Hello Saturn! Could you tell me the line of code of all competitions that have the third place dispute in version 3.9.60? I would like to deactivate the third place dispute of all competitions and leave only the final. Only in the World Cup and the Olympic Games would remain with the dispute of third place. Other questions, is there any line of code to make it easier to jobs abroad in version 3.9.60 that can be applied by Flex Editor and any solution to reduce CPU usage in this version of the game?

Thanks!

I don't know about Idle Sensitivity, I think JohnLocke might have made versions previously for .60/.65 but I don't have them.
