DSJ4 v1.12.0 bug reports

[Lechoo]

Competition date: 2026-03-22 - still on plastic (like Summer GP).

I think all competitions from 1st November till 31st March should be on snow (set mandatory). Even if "snowiness" is 1%.

The dates for forced snowy conditions are defined per hill. Which hill are was it? Could this be related to earlierly reported wrong season dates counting?

[Jussi Koskela]

If I choose dates:

Season start date: 2025-11-21
Season finish date: 2026-03-22

... half of the season is on plastic - like summer grand prix.

I checked it out and found the problem in dates calculation. The dates for 2nd-Nth competition are calculated terribly wrong.
Bug fix will be available in 1.12.1.

If you set the dates separately for each competition there won't be any problems. And if you don't specificy the season date range or single competition dates then the current real world date will be used correctly.

I just noticed that this bug currenly makes it impossible to view any replay files that originate from these competitions on strange dates. The calculated dates are off by 2 months and 1970 years and the replay loader assumes that year has 4 numbers. I'll fix this, too, for v1.12.1.

Don't worry, all those replay files will load normally after the bug fix.

How did you choose the date? What was your snowiness setting for the hill: value & checkbox?
Both of these hills should have snow covering until early April unless you set the snowiness yourself to 0%. Those hills define that there should be snow after 300th day of year and until 90th day of year.

Wasn't it 300th + - 15 days and 90th + - 15 days for the snow?

Right you are!

It happened randomly to me. Sometimes it's plastic, sometimes it's snow especially after 20th March in Vikersund and Planica.
I set the date myself. Snowiness - no checkbox.

[Jussi Koskela]

Ok, then it's not a actually a bug but works as designed. There is this +- 15 days randomness in start / end date of snowy season. The question is whether that randomness should be removed and the limits should be exact. I am not quite sure if the custom hill designers have already somehow tried to counter this randomness by adjusting the dates further away from winter.

[Lechoo]

Ok, I understand.

If you ask me - radomness should be removed. It's odd to finish "winter season" in Vikersund and/or Planica on plastic instead of snow. It doesn't happen in real life.

When i try to continue my world cup into a second competition, the game crashes. Can I provide more details so I can find a solution? PS. Nevermind, i fixed it by myself, the issue was that i achieved an online license yesterday and changed my player name so all my jumpers got bugged.

[Lechoo]

1. "Prequalification" doesn't work if you make a "season" consisting of a tournament not counting to "World Cup".

For example:

I made a "season" consisting of 5 competitions - counting to a tournament I called "RAW Air" - but I disabled "World Cup".
Result: no prequalified jumpers although I maked that I want "8" of them to be prequalified.

2. If you choose a ski flying hill you can't choose "World Cup" as the starting order.
Only "Ski flying world cup" and other custom cups are available.

3. Not a bug: but I would like to see the option - that you can start the final round from "zero points" for everyone who has qualified. Like it was in "High Five" format this summer.

4. Not a bug: but I would like to see the option - "World Cup Final" - for 30 best jumpers without qualification round.

1. Yes, I would also like to see an option to choose which ranking PQ is based on for each competition (not a bug though )

4. Already possible - choose no qualification and limit 1st round competitors to 30 ( but again, you can't choose which cup it is based on, would be nice to choose)

I have a problem with this new version. First of all, what exactly is this synchronization about? Second, maybe someone knows how to avoid this issue in the future.
I wanted to set up a World Cup. After two events I had to exit the competition mode. I saved the World Cup. But when I wanted to load the game as the next event, it showed me the first one instead of the third. The results of the two completed events were erased (this happened both in the “load game” tab and in “continue previous game”). When I tried to overwrite the World Cup save, an error popped up. After restarting the game, my entire created season and all the athletes I had created two hours earlier were deleted. The system simply reverted to the state from before launching the game.
What could have gone wrong here? How do you save the World Cup so that after leaving the mode you can continue the game right where you left off?

[Xinitiao]

I second the question about synchronization - it would be nice to have a description of each of the options there
