Error: could not unpack files from archive(C)

I'm getting this message after downloading the league file for my online league. We've been on 21 for a while and this is the first I've seen of it. The title of the box is "Load online league file."

When I exit and try to reopen the league, I get the "earlier version/OOTP 19" note (my term, not verbatim) and it stalls out at 3 percent with the config file loading.

I've tried deleting the league and downloading the starter file, then the latest league file. I've also deleted and imported from our 20 file.

Any help is much appreciated!

League: Pinnacle Baseball Association (File starts with PBA)

**Update: I'm on a Mac running Catalina 10.15.5. Two other Mac users in the league are experiencing the same thing**

I'd love to get some answers to this. Even though I don't specifically have this issue, I commish a couple of leagues and would be interested in knowing how to solve issues like this as they come up.

Sounds like maybe an issue with permissions on your system, like the game doesn't have proper permissions to unzip the save to the folder it's trying to. That's likely going to be really difficult to find a fix for on a Mac though, sadly

My initial suggestion would be to try downloading the league outside of the game, using an ftp utility like Cyber Duck and then manually unzipping it. Does it work then?

Hey Lukas, what would cause this issue to happen to the entirety of MAC users though? I'm the commissioner of the league these members are having issues with, and it's about a half dozen GMs who have the problem. No PC user has an issue, and no MAC user has an issue with another league they're in.

Note that it is possible to get the file downloaded from outside of the game, but it's a clunky process that diminishes the experience for GMs. As a short term fix it can be worked around, but if this is a problem going forward, GMs have threatened to drop my league

Good question. The thing is, it's not happening to all Mac users or we'd have a lot more complaints (I know, small comfort to you guys it is happening to. Not trying to dismiss the problem by saying that).

If it's all Mac users and all one specific league, there's got to be something about the league settings triggering this, I would think. Problem is, that's not really something we are equipped to do a lot of troubleshooting on, because it's likely league specific, not a game issue as such.

Do you have an older copy of the league from a few turns back when things were still working? If so, try comparing the settings there to the settings in the current league. Something may've inadvertently gotten changed or toggled.

Another possibility would be for the guys having trouble to switch their ftp mode to passive in their settings (or to active if it's already passive). That might help as well.

I understand. The isolated nature of the issue is tough to troubleshoot. I don't think we have an older file, but I can definitely work with the FTP settings as I've had that issue in the past. I think one of our GMs has been trying to sort through that in a ticket, but there's an issue with FTP tracing on MACs preventing examining that in depth.
