CM99/00 General Thread

[Tomck]

Had an issue the last while with my saves corrupting for some reason and trying to get to the bottom of it with no success.
Game plays fine for 4 or 5 seasons I save it,turn it off then turn it on the next day the save loads up then chucks it and lots of TMP files appear in the game folder.
Had happened with another save file but I put that down to the file size being over 200000kb but this was nowhere near that.
Frustrating taking the time to build up a team for this to continually happen. Any techy help would be appreciated!

Could it be anti virus related?
Also happened when running CM3 aswell as 99/00.

[evesham]

could be something to do with the folder permissions on windows, read and write access.
Depends where you have them installed as windows can be picky.
Are you running the game as Administrator?
see if this helps?? if you're using Windows, my Win 10 the season updates were really slow (10mins) Go to Settings >> Windows Security >> Virus threat & protection settings >> Exclusions >> Add or Remove Exclusiions >> Add an exclusion process of cm9900.exe and an exclusion for your cm99/00 folder.

Thanks I'll give that a try mate. Yes running as administrator I've edited data via Tri wasono editor but I've ran for 12 seasons before it became an issue but this recent save was only 6 seasons in.

Trying to speed up the game. Using cm9900 mini from Nick. Please backup your exe before trying.

The exe:
https://www.mediafire.com/file/yz1h8q4j ... d.rar/file

00814DAD PUSH 2710
change 2710 to 32 for 200 speed

00414DAE: 10 32
00414DAF: 27 00

I'm sure I'm asking for something impossible, but I try anyway I can create and run B teams for CM0102 but I would like to do the same for CM9900 too (my favorite version) when I open the hex editor the values in the 0x140B00 line between the two game versions do not coincide (which is normal). Does anyone know what must be replaced in order to add the B teams also in the Italian championship? I have already created team B and disconnected two teams in the Portuguese league (now two teams are divided). Unfortunately I can't find the value to change in CM9900 (in CM0102 74 with EB).

I managed to find by myself the value to replace (the first 74 in the Hex editor at line 000F2D60 in the mini version of Nic), the problem I have now is that when I open a saved game I get the error "index..cpp 4325 ". Can anyone help me solve this problem?

Uninstall -> Re-install -> Install any patches -> DO NOT EDIT THE EXE -> Play

Hello , does anyone knew how to fix this? Just download 99/00 mini from this thread but facing this problem also. Already set the properties to Compatible with windows XP sp3 and set to Run as Administrator, also set the scaling to 100% in my Windows 10 but still doesn't work.

Help. Miss my mads jorgensen so much

Hi guys, has any managed to successfully download 99/00? I am trying unsuccessfully to get it to work as well. I've downloaded it using the link provided, set the resolution to 800x600 and changed it to 16-bit colour but I still get an error message of unable to open graphics. Any ideas?

[HaroldFinch]

In properties, disable any High DPI scaling, and ensure it is set to Application.

[helensar]

Appreciate for your help! but Still facing the same issue here, even all High DPI already disable https://sharex.kraftha.us/ShareX/2023/0 ... aH0HAu.png

Click the bottom checkbox labelled "High DPI scaling override" and leave it set to Application.

[helensar]

Thanks once again for helping me but the problem still same, already search and did all the suggestion to solve this problem but didn't work in my laptop. Probably need to install to another windows version

General question related to regens in cm 99/00.
If I created a few legends and had them retire after the first season would they reappear in the game?
I find in 01/02 it's easier to find regen players the only one I can find in 99/00 is Mark Hughes.

Is cm99/00 the same as cm01/02 in terms of intrinsic stats?

Yes I believe it is.

[Tomck]

Currently doing a French league in cm99/00 on my 10th season and I have never seen the likes of the numbers Wartan Ghazarian is getting for the Ai(Toulouse).
Something silly like a 9.36 overall rating after 26 games in a sweeper formation and he's the centre mid.
I'll get a screenshot next time I load it up.

Hello,

Can you post again these patches because links doesn't work anymore.
Many thanks

Hello,

Does anyone have a reliable CM99/00 game download link?

Getting a windows 10 laptop and would love to play this old classic but bit of a tech novice so unsure what I’m doing. I do have the old disc but I remember it used to get an error after x amount of time played and laptops don’t have disc drives anymore.

Any help or guidance would be great

Many thanks

In my 11th season in an Italian save with all leagues loaded and every single team has resorted to playing a basic 442 which seems to resort to lots of sendings off and goals chopped off for me and plenty injuries.
Never had this before but it's a challenge!

[HaroldFinch]

Yeah that's a well known bug unfortunately.

Weird. Seems to have sorted itself after it's updated for the next season. Spotted teams in the inter toto and UCL qualification were all playing various odd formations.
