I am getting an error message that OOTP 22 cannot open my 1952 season due to player data files either missing or corrupted. I have not been able to restore through backup or troubleshooting. And for some reason, the F12 screenshots are not being saved in the folder.

The cause of this may have been deleting files in the course of a routine cleanup of my hard drive. I recall deleting some OOTP files that I thought were temporary, to load a patch. Oops. None of my other seasons (1884, 1914, 1930, 1960, 1994, 2021) seem to be affected, and gameplay seems okay too - thankfully! But can I restore that 1952 season?

The first error message says “An error occurred while loading the database! Could not load players files.”

Then; “DATABASE PROBLEM. A problem occurred while loading the league files. Click OK to save the current files in a folder named “incident” inside you league folder now and to let OOTP try to restore your game to the state of the lat previous successful save…..”. Did that.

Then: “INCIDENT FILES SAVED….” and “DATABASE RESTORED” but another error message next: “An error occurred while loading the database! Could not load players file.” And then “the loading of the database failed. It is either corrupt or a save-game from an old version.”

Is there a way I can restore files that I may have inadvertently deleted? Have I lost the Season data, despite faithfully backing it up? The Season won’t restore from the backup, same series of error messages. Hoping I did not ruin it for myself.
