All players names became "Jim Unkown" after loading existing save

Loaded up an existing save (which I was using fine a couple hours before) I had a couple season in as the Seattle Kraken, and every person's name has been changed to "Jim Unknown".

Note: I also posted this on reddit, wasn't sure the best place to get help resolving this issue.

Sounds like the names file is corrupt. In your save (in saved_games, it's the one with your save's name and a .lg extension), have a look in the rs_one and/or rs_two subfolders. Grab the names.dat file from one of them and copy it to the save's main folder, overwriting the one that's there, and then load the save again and see if that fixes it. If it doesn't, try the other rs_ folder's file; if that doesn't work as well, go to \Documents\Out of the Park Developments\Franchise Hockey Manager 9\quickstart_games\OpeningDay.quick and take the one from there, that'll fix it if the other two can't (but it's best to try them first)
