Did you copy and paste this email direct? Smells odd.
I somehow doubt they would admit the problem, and would rather just release a patch and say that a 'known bug' is fixed.

It is directly copied from the mail I got. I'm not lying :)

So, this is great news! So just switch to 1024x768 and problem solved untill the patch is released. :)
 
Yes! It worked!!!

I was playing above 1280*720 and it always crashed. I tried everything, included the windowed mode with no result, and now I've gone to settings.exe and changed the resolution to 1024 and no crashes anymore.

Thanks a lot! :D

Thanks I could help, though KONAMI literally told me, so ... :D... Patch will be out end of week! Woohoo!
 
i think you can set the resolution to 1280x720 or lower in the game settings to avoid crashes and then force the resolution you want to play in (mine is 1280x1024) via kitserver with the custom resolution tool. i've played one season like this and got no crashes so far.

That's a good call, I would imagine that works as Kitserver probably uses a forced resolution setting while Konami stores theirs in the Option file.
I will try this in a bit when I'm back home and report back.
 
Im not taking any risk :D

Just 1024x768 and thats it :). I'll wait untill Sunday for the patch.

Good luck with it though! Im so glad its fixed! I love Become a legend.
 
even if you had good resolution in setting.exe,
if you force resolution higher than 1280x800 in Kitserver you'll eventually get crashed.. I experienced.
 
You can find a backup of your Become a Legend save in My Documents/KONAMI/Pro Evolution Soccer 2009/backup. :)
 
Could I hear others what camera angle, position and level you are playing with.
I find the standard "vertical" angle to be the best, but I just hate it, when it turns while dribbling !
And I play it on Professional, but I find it hard after 2 seasons to get scores above 6,5-7. Mostly I get 6 or 6,5..
I play attacking midfielder. But I always seem to be totally wasted after 70-80 minutes of play, is that usual, or do I run too much ?

Actually I think it's kind of boring not getting better faster, but I'm hooked :-)

How much stamina do you got? I have 88 so I can run for 90 mins or so :D ...

You should put Stamina to 6 in Strengten the first season.
 
I seriously don't think I will play every season. Is it worth just skipping a couple of seasons to get my skill level up ?

You will miss alot of extra stuff like championship. masters cup. national. when you skip a couple of seasons. and the team dont want you anymore and you are fucked up in a fucked up team that only play 20 matches so your skills go up less high
 
26 weeks in Wigan and Bolton, and nothing!! My reserve team sucks, so i can't play in first eleven. But I'am persistent...
 
My problem is that in any other resoultion i play lower than 1280x1024 game is too fast its totaly unreal frame skiping on or off AA Antistropic filtering all variations tried the game is too fast.So i can only play 1280 x 1024.Is pacth comin out on sundey?
 
fixed a crash problem by reducing resolution, but sometimes when the game starts it loads FOREVER! PES2009 is full of bugs damn
 
I began with very bad stats... all in between 60 and 65 except for speed (75) and attack (71).

I started at Dinamo Zagreb. Played 25 games in my first season, 8 times MIP/MOM, 6 goals and 2 assists.

I waited for the right team to contract me since Dinamo is on the bottom side of the table. I went to Boca Juniors after the first season but Riquelme plays on my spot. I'm in week 4 and I'm currently on the bench :)

You see? :D ... I got the same email (read above). Thank god its gettin' fixed. I got a 1440x900 resolution so I want to play with that not 1024x768 :D
 
mine seems to crash or freeze on some cut scenes and menu pages in legend mode, its been 100% fine in exhibition modes though. is this the same bug everyone else has? im running at 1920x 1200 and its very smooth and i really like the game but this is spoiling it big time. im using a gaming access patch but i don't think its that.
 
My game crashes when i was in season 2015-2016, i was hight stats and playing for my country every game :(
Any chance to recover my corrupted save file?
 
nobody reads the previous posts before asking silly questions, or others : " oh god guys look! look ! i've got an email from konami !!!" yes we know!! it was just posted three message before you......
 
What does the numbers 1-4 next to my name when in-game stand for ? They change while I play, but I can't figure out what they are there for ??

That's the tactic your team is playing with. When playing in any other mode then BAL you can set them yourself (you'll see a X, Y, A or B).
Check your team formation to see what number is what tactic (it will say something like "Auto 1: Pressing, Auto 2: Counter Attack" etc.
