Is OOTP X backwards compatible?

BIG Irish · 10-28-2009, 09:59 AM

I was using OOTP 9 for an online league & my game crashed & somehow went bad. I tried to re-download version 9, but its nowhere to be found on the OOTP site. So I tried OOTP X, assuming it would be backwards compatible (isn't everything?). So now I can't import or export the league file for my OOTP 9 online league.

Is OOTP X backwards compatible & I'm missing something?
Is there something I need to do to make it work with OOTP 9?
Is OOTP 9 still available somewhere?

Any help that anyone can offer would be appreciated.

Here is the link to the download page: OOTP Developments Downloads

At the bottom there is a link to download previous versions. You have to navigate to the ootp9setup file for your platform (PC, Mac, etc..).

The OOTP league files are not directly backwards compatible. If you want to remain in an online league that uses OOTP 9, you will also have to use OOTP 9.

Yeah, you can upgrade league files to a newer version of the game but then it becomes a new league file based off of the information from the older file.
