Help.. Can't play test matches anymore

[shahid6995]

Hi, I was trying to enhance Cricket 2004 with the various downloads here and I am running into a wierd problem, I dont know if anyone has come across it. I can't play test matches anymore! When I am selecting from the Play Now menu, I used to be able to select 10, 20, 50 over matches or a test match. Now only the ODIs are available, with no Test match option. Not even blurred out, its just GONE. When I try to play a test series by selecting it from the International menu, the game crashes! Any help?
The updates I have just installed are the Field Editor, and in that I had edited the Test Fast Aggressive 1 field and saved it.
The other updates I installed are the Channel 9 patch 2.0, and previously I also had installed the bats update, the new rosters and a couple other graphic things. I suspect the field editor is where the problem is, because that was the one where I had changed the field. But it still confuses me why I cant select the Test option in the Play Now menu.

Has anyone had the same problems? I am going to be doing a full re-install because I was smart enough to do the updates without backing up the .gob file, but thats not a big deal.

well i guess what i was trying to ask is that has anyone had this problem with that particular field editor patch?
i know i messed up with not backing up the gob file but thats ok, i can always reinstall.
And when my game crashes I dont get the blue screen and my computer does not crash at all, its just the game that crashes so i believe my graphics drivers are fine.
I guess Prakash might just have to look into whether theres something funny in the fielding patch. Its a great idea though, if it works.

i guess because i believed the problem was related to one of the patches i thought this might be a more appropriate forum to post, but sorry!

thats ok..

Is it something similar to this http://www.planetcricket.org/forums/showthread.php?t=7376 but with test matches instead of World Series?

Perhaps installing the new version of the Channel 9 patch from the http://www.cricket04.com might fix the problem.

I just read that thread.... thats exactly whats happening to me too!! Only with me its happening in the test matches. But actually I havent tried the World Series so who knows if thatss working or not... i guess that means it really is the fielding patch that has the problem.

Yes must be either the fielding patch or the channel 9 patch! Perhaps if you made a backup of the .gob file before you installed the patches you could try it with only one of the patches installed and see what happens, then you could find out which patch it is.

yeah shahid dont worry man it is not a big deal' it will be solved qiuckly' and wellcome as a new member fella' :cheer

Well ok, I guess I owe Prakash an apology... heres what happened. I updated to the channel 9 2.5 patch, and as we speak I am playing a test match WITH the changed field positions I made with the field editor. It didnt crash and so I guess it was the channel nine patch. But heres what happening now... the graphics are not right, like I see a big white box where previously the score used to come, and some of the screens like the initial screen when the fielders are coming out and you get the names of the teams, that names screen is almost completely white... i can still see the names but its like totally white...
btw these experiments with the new patches I am oing on my work computer... i have it on my home computer too, untouched and working fine lol... once i figure out on this computer which patches to go for then i will update my home compuuter...

thanks for the help guys.
