I am also having the "Database Problem" issue.
- Using an AT&T iPhone 4 running 4.3.3
- Never jailbroken/unlocked the phone
- Installed/uninstalled multiple times, trying things like installing after a reboot and rebooting immediately afterwards.
- Phone has over 2.5GB of free space, so I doubt it's running out of storage
Whenever I see the dreaded "Database Problem" screen and click on the OK button, nothing appears to happen. In other words, the button doesn't "depress" or change colors or anything. Sometimes it sits there forever, but sometime the app quits after a few minutes. Reloading the app and trying again yields the same result. The "Load Game" screen shows zero saved games.
I've lost multiple leagues in different phases (Majors first month, Majors halfway through first season, Majors first offseason (in true Braves fashion, 101Ws and a postseason sweep-out), Fictional halfway through first season). I'm at a total loss here and the game is essentially worthless without reliable saving. I don't want to devote time and effort when I know it could go up in a cloud of smoke at any moment. I'm actually holding off on rating the game because I don't want to give it a single star - I'm a big OOTP fan and have longed for the game literally years before it was even announced (like so many others, I imagine).
I work in software engineering for a living so I appreciate the nature of developing and releasing software products. My goal with this post is not to get angry or try to rip into anyone, but to help get the issue resolved by trying to provide any pertinent information I have and stress just how important I feel the issue is. Heck, I've joined the forum today solely to post on this issue.
If you guys need any help with troubleshooting by having me try a few things with my phone (aside from mailing it in, of course
), PLEASE let me know. I've waited so long for this game and for it to have such a crucial issue really bums me out. Hopefully it can get resolved soon!
Thanks so very much for finally bringing OOTP to the pocketable platform! I really, truly do appreciate it and I look forward to leading the Braves to the Commissioner's Trophy soon.
