Exclamation IMPORTANT: OOTP 11 released to preorder customers!

UPDATE: We have just sent out the emails! This does not mean that you receive it immediately though, please be patient as it can take up to a couple of hours for the email to show up in your inbox in extreme cases! Please occasionally check your spam folder too!

Here are some things I'd like you to read before you download OOTP 11:

1) You will get an email with the download links, make sure that ootpdevelopments.com is in the list for safe domains of your email client, otherwise the email may end up in your spam folder.

2) DO NOT share the links with anyone!

3) Once you start the game, it completes the installation the first time, this can take a few minutes.

4) The game will start up in demo mode first, click on the "Enter License" button in the main screen. Then paste the license key you got with your purchase confirmation email into the dialog! For Windows and Mac, it is a series of letters and numbers that looks like this: OOTP11-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx. For Linux, it will look something like this: 99X-9-XX-99-99. If you have lost this information, our licensing agents store this data for you. For Windows or Mac, go to eSellerate's After-Purchase Services. For Linux, please go to the PiSD web store.

If the game cannot activate the license, temporarily deactivate any firewalls you have running!


5) To take full advantage of user created mods, you will first have to create a dummy league, then download & install the add-ons you want via the add-on center (inside OOTP menu) and then start the desired league.

6) Creating a major league game can take a couple of minutes, the message "Copying player files" will take a while, the game is copying real player history text files for thousands of players, so please be patient.

7) Importing big OOTP 10 league files can take up to 30 minutes or even longer in extreme cases. Even when the game says "(not responding)" in the window header, ignore it and let the game continue, it has to copy a million files in some cases.

8) If you have problems, please visit our knowledge base here: OOTP Developments - Kayako eSupport Help Desk Software
PLEASE do not spam the general forums with "I got problem X with the game"! The answer to your problem is very likely listed in the knowledge base!


Those who order the game now will have to wait until April the 14th to get it, that is the official release date!

OK, that's it! We hope that you will enjoy the game. It is the best version of OOTP yet, I am sure about that

All the best,
Markus
