Update March 30: We have fixed a few issues and updated the version to 24.2.45:
- Fixed in-game freeze when lineup changes needed
- Fixed some crash/hang issue with 0-game leagues, and with low financial totals

Important: This patch is only for OOTP 24 versions which were purchased directly from us or resellers who use our version. It is also available via the Steam client with the public password below.
It is NOT compatible with the Mac OSX AppStore or Epic version!

Hi everybody!

We have fixed a few more things, so here is a new public beta, version 24.2.45. If there are no issues, it will be released officially tomorrow.

Use this at your own risk! Please back up important league files before loading them in this beta. This patch is compatible with the previous patch for online leagues - exports will work between versions, however both clients and the commish need to update to benefit from the online league fixes.

Changelist (24.2.45):
Updated Inaugural draft AI
Added copy-text-to-clipboard button for the news
Fixed new game crash changing IAFA amounts
Fixed imported game financials issue where owner cash not subtracted (need to reimport for change)
Fixed some financial issues between offseason start and contract rollover date
Fixed assigning fictional contracts all being league min or rarely being league min
Fixed display of playoff/PT Tournament results in widgets
Fixed coach sort out of order.
Fixed inconsistent times when text shortened in player lists
Fixed changing trading deadline setting the deadline as passed
Fixed problem with Unicode/non-ASCII characters in folder names
Fixed some issues of freezing 3D on-screen, 2D screens showing blank pages when re-entering game in progress
Several small bug fixes

• Open Steam client -> Library

Update Info for our webstore customers: 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.

Main server: PC Installer

Here's a PC installer (Fastspring) that installs into a single folder, which is useful for external HDs for example. Or for creating a second test install of the game, so you can try the patch out without the risk of messing up your main install of the game if something is wrong in the patch:

Please post here if you have any issues or if you run into major bugs. Thanks!
