face gens?

[tward13]

I had face gens when I first loaded the early release. Played awhile in season 1(MLB 2013 quickstart), mostly simming and setting line-ups. I had installed the all in one mod. I was/am seeing the logos, etc.

Then I stopped seeing the face gens. Still saw player pics for a few guys that must have come with the all in one?'


Installed the patch last night and started a new MLB 2013 league. No face gens from the start (I do see a few player pics) When I go to options it says face gen is not active.

Not sure what I did, what I broke. Any idea what I need to do?

Didn't break anything..just go to preferences and click the facegen tab and make sure it's set to enabled. (1st option). Make sure picture search mode (last option) is set to search for facegen. Then restart the game.
Load your game and click the game tab and select Setup options under Advanced. On that screen click the Player & Pictures Options and on that screen to the right set your pic options as you wish. All this should get you back in good shape.

Ive never had an issue with Facegen in the previous versions. In 14, i have all the facegens files from previous years but a lot aren't loading. I have to manually add them through the filter. Seems to be mostly minor league guys (on the yankees Melky Mesa, Thomas Neal, Chris Bootcheck) but like Bigrod mentioned, under player picture functions, which in older versions i always had access to, in 14 it is shaded out and i cant click on any of the options. Update or force update cant be clicked. I followed all the steps BigRod mentioned, they were all set the correct way already. Any other ideas why this the update facegen is unavailable to click? The same buttons for the coaches right under it are available to click. Any help is appreciated.

I am having this same thing happen to me. Facegen files won't load at all for the historical league I'm playing.

Make sure on the Game setup-player & picture options screen under Fictional picture options on the right is set to All Players. Then those other options that are greyed out will show.

Thanks for the answer, but I went into preferences and face gen is enabled and picture search is set to facegen.

I go into Game tab and setup options under advanced and it says "Fictional Picture Options Disabled - Facegen not Initiated"

Do you mean on the acutal Game tab dropdown it says that?
Check this...open Preferences and click the troubleshooting tab and set the very first option on the left to write ootp debug info to file. Restart your game. Just click ok when the trace enabled popup shows then Click preferences, click the troubleshooting tab, and select open log file ootp_trace.txt.
Read down through that and find where the facegen info starts. It should look like this unless you have a problem.

It won't fix the problem but it can tell you what might be happening..
