HOTFIX: OOTP 25 public beta patch (version 25.8.86) available!
We found a few issues in the public release from earlier this week that we wanted to correct. So we are releasing a Hotfix of the patch. For now, we are putting this as a Public Beta, to ensure that the issues are corrected and that nothing else goes wrong. If all goes well, this will be released as a full patch shortly.
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. The issues this hotfix addresses:
How to access the beta on Steam:
Download link for PC Beta (Fastspring Webstore Version): Main server: PC Installer Mirror: http://ootpdevfiles.com/ootp/25.8.86/ootp25setup.exe 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: PC Single Folder Installer Download link for Mac (FastSpring): Main Server: Mac OSX Installer Mirror: http://ootpdevfiles.com/ootp/25.8.86...5Installer.dmg Please post here if you have any issues or if you run into major bugs. Cheers, The OOTP Team |

You might want to be reviewing some of the TCR changes from the last patch too, effects on very young player may be too much. The net overall TCR changes definitely feel increased on default 100 settings, and young players, especially international prospects, are being massacred with their potentials. I simulated a dozen seasons in commissioner mode, 100% scouting, then shortlisted all the top international prospects. Best case scenario for any of them was a AAAA player, and most were dead in 1 or 2 seasons with a 2 star potential.

I just tested and this patch fixed the crash, but I still lost the game in the bottom of the 9th. So, mixed bag.
Can you say if this a fix for a specific data issue related to the bug, or was it a more generalized fix for exiting and re-entering games? |

It wasn't your game itself, but I think some of the minor league games running with ghost players that got suspended and resumed when you resumed yours.

It's always amazed me that they can figure out what happened simply from the dat files. I get it, there must be some error checking going on, but it still blows my mind.

I suspect they are running the game through a debugger when they load your *.dat files. You can literally step through every line of code and see where things go sideways. |

This was the crash that almost ruined my 1955 A's game, but they were able to find the bug in my files and fix it within 12 hours, so kudos to the team for being able to fix it ... I also learned my lesson: saving regularly is not all you should do ... Remember to back up your sims too!

I hope it was the same bug. Are you playing with minor leagues and allowing ghost players? |

Mine was a historical league, and it involved leaving the game mid-game and trying to get back in, so I think it's the same bug. Since I'd saved over my game with the half a game, and hadn't done a backup ever, I really thought it was done for ... now I will never make that mistake again lol

IAFA not developing
As reported elsewhere- new game generated IAFA are a near complete bust.
Simulated to opending day 2035* , only 3 such bats on MLB rosters. 2 were borderline MLB players only and the other was a 2027 2.5 start potential player who's ratings went nowhere but then took off from 2031 to be easily the best of the three. * the game annoyingly still schedules 2 NLW games march 20/21 , leaving all teams sitting for a week+ until opening day. |

We're taking a look at the international prospects falling off too quickly and will fix that up.

Do you have some specific examples here so we can tell what to look for?

I've looked over a bunch of sims since yesterday while working on the IAFA's and have not really seen this at all. Not to say it can't happen of course, but it doesn't seem to be a regular occurrence, at least. Are you using default settings?

The one that is more striking, however, is the younger players declining far too early. Lots of guys between ages 24-27, give or take a year on both ends, are losing velocity and contact and/or power at a frequency that seems too high to drum up to TCR (which I keep at the default 100). |

There are plenty of players that peak in the 25-27 range though and decline after (the Jake Lamb's of the world). The previous TCR settings may not really have reflected this properly.

That's certainly something we can keep an eye on going forward.
