Hi,

as I had reported the NSL 2001 patch did not work on my German Windows / Fifa2001 system. I spent some time yesterday to try out more things and finally found a workaround to get it working. But first let's summarize what
kind of problems I found out about:

- Install patch + fix either via MRA or without on a new Fifa2001 installation (custom installation, chosen all) leads to Fifa crashing back to the desktop after the splash screen (just instead of the `EA Sports' Logo animation).

- I then exported the league to .LEA and .TEA files using Fed2001. However when importing the NSL league and try to replace the Danish league I can start the game, but as soon as I try to enter team management or pre match team selection Fifa crashes back to Windows.

- Even if I create a blank league to replace any league in Fifa using Fed2001 the game crashes as soon as I access the newly created league.

These things have all been verified using a fresh Fifa2001 installation (I had to reinstall it for about twenty times...).

I could finally get it working by removing all teams from Denmark 1 and 2 and import the NSL teams from the .TEA files I created into that league. I then renamed the league and imported the league logo I wanted - and now it works! It was a lot of work but it was certainly worth it, thanks blokes!

Now anyone (Chau? Schmeichel01?) can comment on this?

Cheers,

Herbert
