NHL 2001
version 1.03
company: EA Sports (www.easports.com)
homesite: unknown
The following is a list of fixes for this patch, and the previous
patches, for NHL 2001.
Fixes in v 1.03
- Fixed the problem where if you were using a peer to peer
connection, one of the teams could not change any team options
like calling a timeout or pulling their goalie.
- Fixed the problem where the strategy names inside the pause menu
were not the same as the ones in the front end.
- Fixed the continous desync loop in online games that would occur
sometimes if you big hitoff the faceoff.
- Fixed the Windows 2000 crash when you tried to create a season.
- Fixed a problem with a created player in a Season, where assigning
him to a team, and then reassigning him to waivers would cause the
Today in EA Sports Trades screen to crash.
Fixes in v 1.02
- Fixed a desync that would occur in an online game when one user
with manual line changes buttoned past off-play sequences quickly
while the other player was using auto line changes.
- Fixed a desync that would occur during timeouts and goalie pulls
in an online game, where one player would button past the off-play
sequence quickly.
- Fixed the hang for Online Leagues where the commissioner machine
was slow and the remote user machine was checking in/out teams.
- Fixed a timing issue in online games where the host was a slower
computer, and the client was a faster one -- controller setup for
the teams would sometimes be incorrect.
- Fixed a crash with Online Leagues and accessing the Awards screen
- Fixed the issue where a player would disappear for the rest of the
game, if that player was getting a delayed penalty, and the other
team scored a goal before you gained possession of the puck.
- Fixed some ditty bugs where the incorrect ditty would play
- Addressed the issue of the imported ditties not playing randomly.
- Fixed a desync in online games where if one player had the shot
meter on, and the other didn't, a desync would occur everytime a
shot was taken.
- A couple of the goal horns were fixed.
- Fixed a bug with German Play by Play.
Fixes in v 1.01
- Fixed a desync in online games that would occur sometimes if you
were using manual line changes.
- The long distance floating goals were reduced by 90%.
- Fixed the problem where at times, the incorrect animation is
called when checking players. The patch eliminates this problem
and makes defence more responsive.
- The time limit for users to select their lines (when playing
manual line changes) was increased. Faster computers gave the user
less time to select their lines.
NOTE:
Previous saved GAMES are not compatible with this patch. Loading
previous saved games will result in the game crashing. If you have
a saved game in a season, loading that season will automatically
start loading the saved game, resulting in a crash. To rectify this
problem, perform the following steps:
1) Navigate to the \user folder in the NHL 2001 install directory
(eg. the default directory is C:\Program Files\EA SPORTS\NHL 2001)
2) Delete all files named NHL2Kxxx.GAM (where xxx is any number).
