I was wondering if anyone could help me, or has heard of, this problem.
I'm using the PCM.daily Expansion pack and the Fictional Database.
I've edited riders, created sponsors etc. and all seems to work okay, except I created a new Doctor within the physician table (don't ask why, I was kind of experimenting).
When I created the Doctor, I edited them so that they would be straight into the team I would manage for my career game.
This did not work.
They did appear in the 'for hire' list, but not straight into the team.
Anyway, I hired them, which was fine.
However, whenever I load my career game the Doctor has disappeared from my staff list and appears back in the 'for hire' list.
I've had to hire the same doctor so many times and the Finances page shows I am paying for them every time.
Once hired they remain in the game fine, until I shutdown.
Then on loading the next day, they are back in the 'for hire' list and out of the team.
Even when I have assigned an injured rider, the Doctor has moved back into the 'for hire' list.
Weirdly, when I 're-hire' the Doctor again, the rider is automatically assigned to that Doctor, the game remembers.
I hope this isn't a confusing explanation and if anyone could help I would be much obliged.
You should be able to edit a doctor into your team. Assuming you did that correctly the first time, it means that you messed up something else, so check the line in DYN_physician again.
If you still cannot figure it out, just rename another doctor and edit him into your team.
The easiest solution would have been to edit the doctor which already was assigned to your team, when you started the career, just in case you want to start over.
