Unable to Load saved game

Getting this message, but have been playing this import on OOTP 22 for months. Have submitted league file to Support

"OOTP cannot load the database because it has been created with an earlier database of OOTP."

This can happen if a save is corrupt.

You should hopefully be able to restore the game from the autosave function.

To restore from the automatic backup, do the following:

1) Open the game and on the start screen, click on Settings

2) Now click on the tab "Troubleshooting".

3) Click "Open folder containing saved games".

4) Now open up the league folder you're wanting to restore.

5) Then select all of the .dat files in the folder and back them up (just in case) by copying them to a temporary folder or creating a zipped file with them

6) Open the folder called "auto-save".

7) In there, select all of the ".dat" files and copy them to the league folder (the parent of the current folder) overwriting all of the ".dat" files in the league folder.

8) Now start the game and load your league
