Hi there.
I'm very sorry your issue has sat here for so long without a response.
Us volunteers are a little on the burnt-out side right now! That's not an excuse, though, but let's see if we can make some progress, if you're still around after all this time...
First, are you still having this problem?
If so, I'd try at least a few things:
1. Rename faces.dat to faces.old, and try loading the league again.
2. Let the league sit for a good long time at 100%. If you eventually get in, try to save and see if the file behaves well after that.
Thanks very much,
Steve
