Exclamation OOTP 24 public beta patch (version 24.2.45) available! [Updated 3/30]

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

How to access the beta on Steam:
  • Quit OOTP 24 if it's running.
  • Open Steam client -> Library
  • Right click on Out of the Park Baseball 24
  • Click on "Properties" at the bottom of the menu
  • Click on the beta tab. Here, enter the following code / password: ootp24betapt
  • Click on "Check code"
  • Open the beta pull-down and select "publicbeta".
  • Close the Steam client (Steam menu -> Exit)
  • Open the client again. It should then download the beta build.
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.

Download link for PC Beta (Fastspring Webstore Version):
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:
PC Single Folder Installer

Download link for Mac (FastSpring):
Main Server: Mac OSX Installer

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

Cheers,
The OOTP Team

As someone who plans to do an inaugural draft to start a new save at some point, was curious what AI component was an issue pre-patch? I ran a quick inaugural draft sim and thought it looked ok but must have been some glaring issue I didn't notice, in order to have it patched?

Mostly a few things I noticed when I was on stream with TJ last week. The AI seemed to not draft bullpen arms until forever, and sometimes an AI got "stuck" into basically just only drafting prospect. Or occasionally drafted a sub-par player when there was still clearly better talent left on the board.

Another "Winner, Winner Chicken Dinner" for franchising fans. I'm so excited to get my White Sox franchise going once patching settles down and OOTP deems every cool to start

Ah, ok ty ty. Yeah I noticed prospects going much higher than they did in '23 inaugural drafts (McGwire went #1 in my inaugural 1984 draft) but figured that was by design since you should kind of be building a team around young, superstar pre-arb players, but I only simmed maybe 5 rounds so probably wasn't enough on my end to see deeper results.

I gotta tell ya... I am having a MISERABLE time downloading from Fastspring. Click on the link download starts, good bit rate, then it fails. Refresh, rinse, repeat... fails. I have to actually babysit the download over the course of an hour to get it to finish. I could deal with it if it was just slow, but the constant failing is a killer.

It shouldn't be this way.

Downloads quickly and works for me 100% of the time.

Yeah, I hear there are people out there having no problems with it... I dunno what's the problem on my end. I wonder if there is a mirror link...

Yeah it's the same here, I'm on extremely fast wifi but when I download OOTP it's a 1.5 hour download. Any other comparable file is around 30 seconds.

This sort of thing would typically be due to the CDN in your area being overloaded or having issues. Not really anything we can control.

One thing that can help is if you have a VPN, connecting to another area and downloading from there. This will put you on a different CDN and often gives you a good download.

I just tried this and it worked for me. I couldn't get a good download in Seattle. I switched my VPN to UK and it downloaded faster.

Yeah, I was a bit apprehensive about downloads, but so far mine have taken about 20-30 seconds on a 800GBs hookup. Must be something local guys. I can sympathize as I had to deal with it before myself.

How are we looking for release of this patch? My online league is currently stalled out on 24 and we cannot sim without required financial fixes. Sorry to ask again but they are asking me when patch is dropping. I had heard yesterday as a potential drop date so I'm really hoping it can be today.
