OOTP21 import issue

Franchise · 03-26-2021, 11:04 PM

Hi,

I searched other posts for "OOTP21 import" and mine seems to differ from their specific issue.

When I go to load the world.dat file, I get the message "An error occurred while loading the database! Could not load names." Then it goes on to say I have a database problem and I can't proceed.

Thanks in advance.

If you check the folder where the save you want to import is located, do you see a file called names.dat? There error message sounds like this may be missing or possibly corrupt.

Yes, I see it there. It loads in OOTP21 just fine if that helps. Is there any way to fix the issue? This is a save that I have been playing for the past 2-3 versions of OOTP.

You can close this out. I realized I was taking the world.dat file from a shortcut on my desktop and not from the file where all of the other data that supports the world.dat were in.
