<strong>I too have the same problem. I tried as you said to copy the DAT files from the create folder into a default folder to no avail. I'm assuming re-downloading the program would work if there is nothing else I can do to fix this problem.

Reinstalling the game seems to always work in cases where the user has accidently deleted required file(s), but in many cases game crashes come from a corrupt league, and these can't be saved by a reinstall.

OOTP/STB should give you an error message with the problem mentioned, otherwise it can be very difficult figuring out what went wrong just from "the game crashed" in this support forum. One example is is the "injury.txt" file in the OOTP4/STB2003 root folder. If that is deleted I believe the game will just crash with no warning - it should pop up an error stating "Can't find injury.txt file" or something like that. Hopefully more in depth error checking will be included in future versions so even if there are a few glitches, we can figure out the problem almost immediately.
