This patch, 26.5.66, will go out now as a public beta. We hope this will correct many of the reported issues, balance a few items out, and also includes many other tweaks and improvements.

Use this at your own risk! Please back up important league files before loading them in this beta.

Important info for online leagues: This patch should be compatible in online leagues. Once the commissioner has updated to the patch version, all league members will need to update to continue.

How to access the beta on Steam:
  • Quit OOTP 26 if it's running.
  • Open Steam client -> Library
  • Right click on Out of the Park Baseball 26
  • Click on "Properties" at the bottom of the menu
  • Click on the beta tab. Here, enter the following code: ootp26betapt
  • 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 Windows PC (Fastspring Webstore Version):
Main server: PC Installer
Mirror Link: 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 MacOS (FastSpring):
Main Server: MacOS Installer
Mirror Link: MacOS Installer

Thanks,
Matt + The OOTP Team

You can load old games on it, but once you have updated to it, you cannot load them on the previous version, no.

I'm in the Manage Cards screen, right clicking on cards to add them to a boost, and they are not accepting that tag.
When I go to the actual boost page, they are not selected to be used in a boost attempt

just want to give huge props for the PT QOL update: these are huge, especially for variant levelers, and definitely took a lot of community feedback on these.

Question about this. If a league member exports using build 65 but the commish is on build 61, will it import correctly?

We use talent and potential somewhat inter-changeably. We will likely tweak some of the text on the new option added, to be more consistent.

I am opting into the beta on steam properties but when I load the game the build is not updating to 65. It still shows 61. This has never happened before, is anyone else having a similar problem?

Thanks for the update. And just to confirm, the asterisk next to a few of the development related updates denotes that it is required to begin a new save for those updates to go through, correct?

Pretty sure those are just sub-descriptions of the Development/Aging balance bullet.

Shouldn't need a new Save for those adjustments to be utilized going forward.
