Roster set has issues - Update tomorrow

[Markus Heinsohn]

Hey guys,

unfortunately it looks like the real roster set got messed up somewhat when converting from our online editor tool into the game, which resulted in some messed up contracts as well as some strange player ratings.

I am sorry for this. Tomorrows release version will include a fixed version of the set. If you want to start a major league game, I suggest holding off until tomorrow.

Cheers,
Markus

Will we need to uninstall the current game and reload it or will there be a patch released?

The game looks GREAT by the way!

Marcus, do you think the patch will also include the Mac issue of an 11 league importing to 12?

Thanks

Cool deal, I'll consider my 8 games into my MLB season a Spring Training of sorts. Glad to hear it is being fixed tomorrow!

Hey Markus,

I am very curious about a couple of things. In OOTP12, are 3-way trades possible as well as outrighting a players' contract to the minors? If you wish you can send me your answer to me in a PM. Thanks.

Edit: Gambo has already answered my questions in another thread. Thanks anyway! And yes, this game does indeed look GREAT!

Hey Markus, the game looks awesome and i can't wait to start a real season! One question already posted above...

...will we need to uninstall the current game and reload it or will there be a patch released that gets automatically installed on the game? Also, will there be other "bugs" fixed in tomorrow's release?

Thanks a lot!

Interesting; will be anxious to see the fixed rosters. Good news.

I am not sure if we will have a 'patch' ready by tomorrow. If not, you will need to do a complete uninstall / reinstall of tomorrow's build.

Edit: Yes, we have fixed most bugs that were reported to us by now.

Would it be possible to list the changes/fixes in a changelog that is posted here? I want to know whether i should look for the bug I reported, and it will help me decide whether I should download and reinstall the game based on the release version.

No further email. Since tomorrow is the official release day we'll post the links on the forums and on the website

Man, I really want to have the fix for the roster issues when ready, but I've spent HOURS getting the All-in-one Mod downloaded and I really hate to uninstall everything and go through all that again (and that was on top of it taking me 2 hours to simply get OOTP12 to accept the license # and get the game installed) ...

So, my question is, do you have any idea how long it will be before you do a patch for this if we choose to wait and not do an uninstall/install?

Just save the All-in-one mod and copy it over once you reinstall the game.

I tried that with a suggestion from someone else last night, copying the mod file from OOTP 11 to 12 ... although it apparently worked for others, the mod file showed in the 12 addons download folder but would not install into the game ... so, on someone else's advice, I had to delete the file in the folder, delete the .DAT and xml files, reinstall the download server in the game and start all over with a download from the game again ...

I'm really tired of messing with it!

Save the folders that you added mods to. If you added logos..save the logo folder, etc.
All in one mod--logos,uniforms,caps,photos,facegen,ballparks.

When you install the new build just switch out the folders.

awesome, game looks great. It would have been impossible to catch all the bugs before release even with beta testing. Thanks for an awesome game that will provide me hours of entertainment..
