Is there a limit in the number of careers that can be created?

[AmetKhan]

I created 6 careers in the Stalingrad map, as soon as I finished creating a career,  I went to the map and created a new one.

When I created the sixth one,  the pilot career is frozen and I can't click on anyone. I can play multilayer,  quick missions,  but not pilot careers.

Should I reinstall the game?

There's a technical limit for storing career data bases, but it's much more than 6 careers.

I'll check it on Monday, seems like a bug.

The last 6 were new ones, I had already approximately 40 started careers already.

I left the game on the whole night, and nothing happened, pilot careers is still frozen and there is the message of "please wait" on top, the "exit" botton, and the "create new career" are there but not clickable.

When I had more than 5 career modes I would get issues.

Is there a way to reinstall the game, saving the settings?

[jollyjack]

Before doing a major update (usually a fresh install works best and less messy i always backup a lot of stuff,

for re-impoting in a fresh installation.

 

With Campaigns its copying the usersaves folder in the swf folder.

Maybe for career it's the whole  Career folder?

I was able to fix the issue.

I change the name of the folder in the career folder.

I renamed "cp" as "cp old" and the game created a new "cp".

I have to create new careers, but that's fine for me.

Thanks guys for all the help.

You know after you create one you can continue it later?

I'd get 40 different pilots quite mixed up lol.

[AmetKhan]

Yep, I created dozen campaigns that I never started.

They were just hanging there, like the boxes of airplane models in my closet. ?

My campaigns are done in series of 6. I create 6 campaigns, 1 American, 1 British, 1 west front German, 1 east front German, 1 Russan, and one just whatever I want. I then fly each one until 1 of five events happen. 

1.) Pilot dies. (Always make them "Ironmen")

2.) 5 sorties are completed.

3.) Pilot is wounded.

4.) Pilot is promoted.

5.) Pilot achieves 5 A to A kills.

After one of these events happen, I move to the next pilot. When I get done with all 6 pilots, I replace any that can't continue their campaigns.

Interesting.

I have my own personal method which has gone something like: I created a singular Career back in 2018 and have overcommitted to it to such a point that it has now existed longer than the actual duration of WW2.

Any and all other careers exist as spinoffs of this main event.

Well, I guess that's just too many careers. Each career stores quite an amout of data, so the best solution is to delete unnecessary ones.

Please reproduce the bug, when the screen freezed push Ctrl+Shift+B, close the game through Alt+F4 and then send me _gui.log from /data/ folder. We'll see if something can be done there (but probably not).
