Unable to import OOTP20

Rosco Peabody · 06-04-2020, 12:58 PM

Hi guys,

Mac question for you guys...

Longtime OOTP player and I've never had this issue before. For some reason, OOTP 21 wants to import the old file from a different location than it actually is in.

My actual file is under Users/Myname/Library/ApplicationSupport/Outoftheparkdevelopments/.....etc

But OOTP21 wants to import from
Users/Myname/Library/Containers/.comootpdevelopments..ootp21macqlm/Data/Library....etc.

I try to reroute to the other folder, but when I find it, nothing but OOTP21 is listed there, even though it's actually there when I go through Finder.

Any answers??

The best method I've found is to copy the league folder from OOTP 20 into the OOTP 21 saved games folder. Then, when you import the league, it will be easy to find. Just be sure to save the imported OOTP 21 version with a different name.

Okay thanks. That;s a good idea

I'm having the same problem. The copy folder option is a fine workaround, but the import function should work as intended.

The copy folder did work, but yes, it is a real issue. Maybe I should move this to bug reports

Just realized I forgot how to do that...

I'm not sure there is a way to move this thread to a different forum. I've always just created a new one. I can do that, if you want me to.

No need. It's a known problem due to changes Mac made to their OS and how programs work on it that are beyond our control. Unfortunately there is nothing we can do about it

Thanks, Lukas. I read that thread yesterday. Unfortunately it took about 3 hours for my saved games to copy over due to their size (and the age of my computer). But it did work in the end.
