Need to transfer a season

hootenany · 08-30-2018, 03:25 PM

I am currently playing OOTP 19 Replaying the 2016 Season.

I need to be able to transfer my season to another computer.

Is there a way.

You want to copy your league folder in the saved_games folder and transfer that. I have done it on USB drives I know others here have used Dropbox and other cloud file sharing services.
If you do not know how to find you leagues ****.lg folder post here and someone can give you instructions.

Just curious, which version of the game do you have? Direct install? Steam? Etc.

If it's direct install, and you're not going to be using the old machine any more, I recommend uninstalling your license (File menu >> Settings >> License >> Un-license).

You technically get two licenses, so you shouldn't have any problems installing the game on a second machine, but if you're not going to use it on both computers, best to free up that license for future needs.

This doesn't apply to Steam, and these steps should be done AFTER you migrate your saved game.

Also, zipping up your league first should speed up the process. But be forewarned - OOTP saved games can take a LONG time to zip up, because there are so many thousands of tiny files. It might be something you just start and let it run overnight.
