Help - Erased Historical League past

Astros2000 · 01-07-2021, 10:56 PM

Hey guys

I accidentally "Erased League History" for my league, so now the entire history of MLB is gone until that point. I wanted to erase any Indy league, but it did the whole universe

Is there anyway to bring that real life stats and info back? Just a general history of the game. Theres nobody eligible for the HOF, stat records are non existent, etc.

Depending on when the last autosave is from, you might be able to restore from that and get the history back (though likely lose some progress).

1) Open the game and on the start screen, click on Settings.

2) Now click on the tab "Troubleshooting".

3) Click "Open folder containing saved games".

4) Now open up the league folder you're wanting to restore.

5) Then select all of the .dat files in the folder and back them up (just in case) by copying them to a temporary folder or creating a zipped file with them

6) Open the folder called "auto-save".

7) In there, select all of the ".dat" files and copy them to the league folder (the parent of the current folder) overwriting all of the ".dat" files in the league folder.

8) Now start the game and load your league.

I see. I am not looking to reload an old file, as I have advanced a year or so since the Erase History mistake.

I would like to simply re upload the real life history of MLB. Is there a way to import a file to do that?
