Regarding the new patch and online leagues

Alan T · 08-03-2011, 09:34 AM

I just wanted to mention for folks in the online forum that it is definitely worth it to get the new patch mentioned here:

http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...-new-post.html

It fixes some pretty big bugs for online leagues which were showstoppers in my opinion in some cases.

For those in OOOL leagues, it also fixes quite a bit of issues as well as added in alot of the enhancements that we have been asking for. I personally don't think OOOL is perfect yet, but so far from my testing, it is definitely at least playable now

Also I believe several of the things people have been asking for help with in threads here such as the mac import issue for commishes, the scouting budget issues for online leagues, etc all were reported to be fixed in this patch.

Thank you for the update, I just asked Markus in the other thread about the scouting budget problem because I didnt see it listed.

Looking through the bug tracker, I may have been mistaken on that one. I currently am not where I can load ootp12 to test that particular bug. I'll take a look at it hopefully later today or first thing tomorrow to know for sure.

I downloaded the new patch and loaded up the league and the scouting still seems out of whack. It is possible it will fix itself after a simulation, but no sure.

This bug is really a deal-breaker for a lot of leagues.

The issue with the bug is what it does when you import teams in the league.

So if your scouting is already out of whack, you would have to fix it probably. If the bug is fixed though, when importing teams in the future it shouldn't make it go out of whack again though.

I'm looking through the list though of things that got fixed that I had been tracking and this one may not have gotten fixed yet though. This one was requiring Markus to come back to resolve unfortunately and wasn't able to be done prior to him getting back. I'll have to test when I get back to my computer later on to see if it is still there or not.

well, I recommended that my league owners uncheck all their foreign countries in order to get rid of all the negative figures. Then go back and recheck them. Mine looks normal now, but will not know until later tonight whether or not it worked.

Just to update the community. I imported the files today and the problem seems to still exist. Not the best news, but it is news. Our league's issue could be unique but we are still left out in the rain with the newest patch.

One work around for now until they fix it could be to turn off scouting. That should then keep your financials from getting all messed up until they fix it.

Except all 30 of the GM's came to the league because its a scouting league, including me.

Sorry, just trying to offer suggestions!

Hopefully they will be able to fix it soon then!

Marines990 · 08-04-2011, 11:02 AM

I know you are, its just frustrating trying to hold everything together.

Most of the GM's in my league are also in another league together which is a OOTP11 scouting league. The whole idea of my league was to do the same league as our other one just with OOTP12 and new rosters.

That is why we are waiting for the scouting issue to be fixed.

s0ni42 · 08-04-2011, 01:52 PM

Yeah, our league also has no interest in turning off scouting.

We are using FTPs, and I am curious if leagues using OOOL are experiencing the same problems. We will be restarting at some point, but if OOOL leagues are running smooth we may possibly jump on that wagon.

TIA

OOOL or not won't make a difference for the scouting issues. That bug is present in both forms of team uploads.

So basically any scouting league is fully broken and unplayable? I find it strange that this did not make it on the patch as you would imagine it is priority 1.

I think I will take a couple years off from buying new versions of the game. Put me down for OOTP 15.

Andreas fixed most of the online stuff while Markus was away. I was told that this issue needed Markus's attention though and he wasn't here. Based on what Markus has posted, he is going to be trying to fix a bunch of stuff (and I hope this included) for the next patch.

I just wanted to make sure it did not sound like I was saying they ignored this. It evidently was a complicated issue to fix and something Markus needed to do.

When Markus said the "Big update" wouldnt be until early Sept, does that mean the patch or are patches released as bugs are corrected.

I guess my question is this, will a patch be released before the "Big Update"?

I don't know the answer to that myself unfortunately.

s0ni42 · 08-05-2011, 01:02 AM

It's too bad that a problem as big and crippling as this one does not get some sort of acknowledgement in what is supposed to be a big patch.

Disheartening

FlexD · 08-05-2011, 07:20 PM

What I don't understand is, that version 12 gets released, let me think late April mid June, and it has so many bugs, now I'm hearing the bugs will still be getting worked out come Sept? Wow we could possibly still be patching 12, at the same time pre-orders for 13 are being taken. OUCH....

s0ni42 · 08-13-2011, 11:06 PM

Sounds like we are close to getting this issue resolved.

Our league is going to wait for a full patch that will fix Mac issues as well. I would recommend this from all leagues and get a fresh start.
