UPDATE: OOTP 25 Public Beta Patch (Version 25.3.58) Available!

[Matt Arnold]

Important: This patch is only for OOTP 25 versions which were purchased directly from us or resellers who use our version. It is also available via the Steam client with the public password below.

Hi everybody!

Thanks for the feedback on the previous public beta. We saw a few of the issues reported and wanted to get in fixes for them, so we will run a short public beta, version 25.3.58. We intend to release this patch fully later this week.

Use this at your own risk! Please back up important league files before loading them in this beta. This patch is compatible with the previous patch for online leagues - exports will work between versions, however both clients and the commish need to update to benefit from the online league fixes.

Changelists 25.3.58:
Added development lab email reminder
Fixed scouting page not handling changing widgets
Fixed some cases of animation/sounds being way off from 3d action
Fixed some historical exhibition mode ratings

Also a reminder of the changelist of the previous public beta version:

How to access the beta on Steam:

• Open Steam client -> Library
• Right click on Out of the Park Baseball 25
• Click on "Properties" at the bottom of the menu
• Click on the beta tab. Here, enter the following code / password: ootp25betapt
• Click on "Check code"
• Open the beta pull-down and select "publicbeta".
• Close the Steam client (Steam menu -> Exit)
• Open the client again. It should then download the beta build.

Update Info for our webstore customers: To apply the update, simply download the setup file and install it over your current installation. There is no need to uninstall or unlicense your current copy! However, you should quit the game before installing it, of course. Updates always contain all the changes from previous updates. Saved games are compatible between different versions.

Here's a PC installer (Fastspring) that installs into a single folder, which is useful for external HDs for example. Or for creating a second test install of the game, so you can try the patch out without the risk of messing up your main install of the game if something is wrong in the patch:

Cheers,
The OOTP Team

And I'm off to work on the scouting page. Thanks.

Edit:

I guess not. Seems Steam won't take me from .57 to .58. It did not auto update though I'm in the beta. So, I canceled beta and the game went back to .53. Opted back into beta and immediately
the game d'loaded and updated files, but.. it was still .57. Opted out again and went back to .53. Closed Steam, opened Steam and opted in. The game started to update without having to close Steam.
Closed Steam anyway, reopened and the game updated files, but again only to .57.

Either I'm missing something obvious or it's not working. Not a big deal I can certainly wait for the official release.
