So......the software is proving to be a bit skittish...and there are some missing fighters in the database.
Gradovich is one....Tapia another.....I"ll attempt to refine the thread known as "fighters list" at some point....until then we will "learn as we go" and I'll update and adapt accordingly.
In the future I don't think the fighter inventory will be the problem it is this season....partly because of choices I made. But once I've committed to a "universe of fighters" I'm stuck with it until such a time as I create another "universe".
Also....IF troubles continue we may make this season a short one..... I am learning to solve problems as we go...but changing the data base could destabilize the program...so I'm running with the universe I constructed for this go round.
I'm forced to use an old Vista/AP windows environment, which does seem to make the software behave better. It doesn't like Windows 7,8 or 10 very much.
