Thanks, I pressed open in the apple store and it worked. Now I need to figure out how to get my Fictional League Fictional Players to be able to play. I can neither load the game or continue game.

We are ready to release the next patch for OOTP 26, 26.2.50. This patch has updated rosters (if you start a new game), along with plenty of other fixes for Korean users, live starts, .

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.

It should work for new games. If you started a game earlier while it did not work, you likely need to go the park page for it and use the option to re-import the Ballpark, and that should correct the path issues.

Have never had this issue before, but after downloading the proper files, replacing the old version with the new, and opening the game, I'm unable to access PerfectTeam. Keep getting hit with "The OOTP client is not up to date. Please install the latest version."

You need to make sure to fully install the new version over the old one. You may need to uninstall the old version first, or remember to delete the old installer in your downloads folder first

Perfect, thank you! Had a prior installer hiding.

I just tried a game using one of Silvam's parks and it worked fine.

It was Candlestick Park. I have since played in different parks and it was fine.

I change the angles, but when that was happening, I tried various other angles and it happened every time.

Unfortunately we have not been able to isolate exactly what is triggering that, so for the moment, we have reverted that model back to a much earlier version, before the updated LF wall and without the dynamic scoreboard. We will work obviously to get those changes back in as soon as we can.

If any users who did not have issues with the park wish, they can re-download the former version from here: https://cdnfiles.ootpdevelopments.co...mden_yards.zip
You can simply unzip that to your data/ballparks/models folder and replace the files that came in this update.

We have also uploaded that version to the Steam Workshop: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfil...51&searchtext=


Sorry for the inconvenience

This is still happening by the way. I can't progress past Aug 12, 2025 in my Mariners franchise.

Edit: Tried reverting the files to the linked ones and the game still crashes.

If you are having in-game crashes in Camden Yards, then you do not want the linked files there, you may need to re-verify the local files, to pull in the non-crashing park version.

If it's not an issue playing out games in the park, then it's likely something else is at play. You can send in your league files, and we can investigate what is happening.

After open a pack, I can never find the card full stats by clicking on the card. I have to try to remember the player and look him up in roster. Why make it so hard to view players after opening a pack, or is this a user error?

This is the irl 3B coach for the Mariners. I can't start a game still (unless I just choose someone else I guess).

can't you just go into commisioner mode and put him on the team for now? if not having him as the 3B coach is making you not want to start the save...

Just an update, I switched the Oriole Park pictures/coordinates to the default and it loaded up fine. Not perfect but it will allow me to play my Wildcard games and not have to sim them.

Edit: Ugh. Game 1 worked fine, game 2 crashes.

[C-Man73]

Camden Yards still crashes for me on a Mac desktop. I have downloaded every patch that has been released and it still does not work.

Frustrating. Disappointing.

[Boom Boom]

I am having an issue with a bug in this patch.

Mac OS M1 MacBook Pro latest OS.

- menus get stuck after editing a player.
- can't even save the game.
- any menus only get reset if I reset the window from maximize to minimize.
- but when I click save, nothing happens. The drop down just stays there. I can't click anywhere else on the screen

Not to be annoying but just found this response instead thread I started. I didn't know that my findings had indeed been found in need of adjustment. Is there any eta at all when this maybe fixed? Pretty game breaking for fictional players/leagues.
