C09 FAQ: Ashes Cricket Issues, Fixes and Common Questions

[AbhishekS]

^ No need to post the same question in two threads friend.

 

[surendar]

The strange thing which I found,

1) Installed AC09 in OS - Win XP. ( It was defaulted in C:\ & I copied to separate drive - G:\ for the lack of space in C:\ ). Installed Beta patches too.
2) Few months ago, I installed Win 7 as a separate OS i.e. XP & Win 7 are two OS of my system now.
3) I uninstalled AC09 in Win XP & it was successfully uninstalled. I completely forgot the AC09 folder presence in my G:\
4) Yesterday, when I accidentally found it, I just clicked the exe. It asked me for the disc to be in the drive. I inserted my DVD & it asked for autorun ( i.e. for installation ) & I clicked cancel.

But when I clicked the exe ( Beta 2 ) with DVD in my drive, the game continued to run without any problems.

My wonder :- How can the game run without any installation? So, is it enough if you have those folders in your drive & installation does nothing except for copying the contents into the hard disk?

Modification in GamePlay

I found a critical bug :
Sometimes the CPU does not take a run (single) when it hits the ball hard at a player standing near the edge of the boundary rope, which is an easy single it does not run at all.
It happens some 20-30 times in a 50over inning where the CPU score reduces to minimum 20 runs in an innings, and also happens in tests and 20-20 also.
This makes the game unrealistic .

Can anyone solve this!!!

Did you simulate any part of the match? If so then its invalid

^ Can I just say I've had exactly the same issue as the person above for the Test (10/53) one? I got the ODI one by taking 9 wickets for fewer runs - the record is 8. But with the 10/53 one it is obviously impossible to take additional wickets. I'm slightly confused since I didn't simulate any of it. I obviously saved and reloaded a couple of times, but that hasn't mattered with any of the other unlockables...

Apologies for my other thread on this. I didn't notice this multi-purpose one. A response in either would be helpful

Edit: Also, while I'm here; is there a way, when adding created players to 20-Over and ODI squads, so select a squad/kit number for them?

Alas, I really should have mentioned that I'm on the X360. I always forget to mention that...

So obviously patches are out of the question. I just rather hoped it was a workaroundable kink; it looks like it isn't from what I'm reading.

Thanks though.

Ashes cricket crashes on windows 7 for me, as soon as the 1st ball is bowled, and when it pitches the game crashes, any idea how to fix this?

POSSIBLE SOLUTION

What I had to do was bowl the entire team out for 0 runs - so 10/0.

It takes a lot of patience and re-loading, but with a good team bowling out a rubbish team, it only took me around an hour. Of course I can't say for sure that it will work for everyone, but it worked for me.
