crashcing game in 30th game in Greece

Hi...i have swos 96/97. Download for this site. Play Career, choose Greece. In 30th day of season the game crashing.....Any fix??

edit: I played a game in Season . The Season its ok....without crash..but in Career still Crashing.....

From an older website:

You might have noticed that when playing Greek Premier Division in CAREER mode, SWOS crashes few rounds before end of season.
If you own CD-ROM version of SWOS 96/97 + you are using ENGLISH sws.exe file, your troubles are over! Just follow these instructions:

Open file SWS.EXE in a HEXeditor. Go to (HEX)offset 14D629. You should find there character having HEX-value 00 and following character should be 20. Change these two characters to values 40 and 28, save the file and launch SWOS. You should be able to complete whole season in Greece without any problems now!!!

Please note that this procedure does NOT change the size of the file SWS.EXE, so if it won t be exactly 2,135,087 bytes when you finish, you did something wrong.

If you still don t understand what I mean, this picture should help you:


And what do these two characters mean? They say when does Greek Cup start and finish. Do you wonder if it REALLY works? Yes, I have tried it myself!
you don t have to make a backup of sws.exe because it s on your CD. Just copy ENGLISH.EXE to your SWOS directory and rename it to SWS.EXE if needed.

his discovery was made by SWOSman. Thank You!

Tnx my frined. Workit

I m having a similar-ish problem, after I win the league and press continue career the game freezes. Any help? (sorry about all the dumb questions)

There s no 14D629 part on the listings....

There wasnt that line in the Hex editor I was using, downloaded a different one and changed it and the problem still occurs.

Any help on this?

I have the same problem. I m using SWOS European Championship Edition. Can somebody help me with this? Probably I have to edit some other line at the version.
