Yet another OOTP 19 HOTFIX available (Version 19.8.70)!

[Markus Heinsohn]

Important: This update is only for OOTP 19 versions which were purchased directly from us or resellers who use our version.
It is NOT compatible with the Steam, Origin or Mac OSX AppStore version! The Steam update is available via the Steam client, the Origin update will be available via the Origin client within 24 hours and the Mac AppStore version is pending review at Apple, which will take 1-2 days.

Hey folks!

Unfortunately, the last hotfix introduced another serious issue (crashing when advancing a day / simming), so we have just released another hotfix, version 19.8.70.

If this update still does not run properly for you, please first make sure you actually have it installed, the bottom of the entry screen after launching OOTP displays the version number. Then please contact lukas@ootpdevelopments.com and explain you problem in detail, he will most likely be able to help.

Thank you for your patience and support!

Please do note that this version (19.8.XX) is not compatible with the previous releases (19.7.XX or earlier) in online leagues, so all members of an online league need to be on the same major version in order to continue without issues.
