Smith Bug

arentzofficial · 01-25-2022, 09:27 PM

I have a small issue. I saved my game most recently and I come back and most players/coaches/scouts have all been changed to the last name smith?? Has anyone else seen this bug before?

See attached screenshot for proof

It appears to have mass edited most players in the game

This is a corruption of the Names.dat file in your save. You can try and see if one of the ones in your Rolling Saves (Rs_One and Two in the save file) make it recoverable. You can also try creating a new game and copying that file but you may still have the odd error.

On the bright side, the Smith brothers are really setting the league on fire...

Unfortunately the RS one and two were both corrupted also, the Smith's have won this round....

Just start a new game (of the same type) and copy the names.dat file from it into your save, that should fix it.
