Important: This update is only for OOTP 17 versions which were purchased directly from us or resellers who use our version.
It is NOT compatible with the Steam or Mac OSX AppStore version! The Steam update is available via the Steam client and the Mac AppStore version is pending review at Apple, which will take some more days.

Hey folks,

Happy Opening Day! Right on time, we have just released the second update for OOTP 17, version 17.5.43. It improves several features, includes the latest MLB rosters (need to start a new game for changes to apply) and fixes several bugs and issues, for example some crashing issues while playing out games in 3D or an incompatibility with Mac OSX 10.7 and 10.8.

Update Info: To apply the update, simply download the setup file and install it over your current installation. There is no need to uninstall or unlicense your current copy! However, you should quit the game before installing it, of course. updates always contain all the changes from previous updates. Saved games are compatible between different versions.

Okay, we'll now take a little break. The past months have been very busy and stressful, but we are extremely happy with the result of this hard work. This is the best OOTP ever, I could not be prouder of the team who created it.

Thank you very much for your support!
