Folder Structure

[niu354]

Is the folder structure supposed to be different in 27? The game is trying to store everything (including jerseys, ballparks, facegen) in a data folder whereas version from 21-26 saved that stuff in a separate folder from the installation files.

It isn't going well... I create a game, save it, close OOTP 27, reopen it, and immediately get error messages. Then when trying to continue game I just saved, it said an error occurred while loading the database.

What's going on?

Folder structure all depends on how you install the game. Steam, user-defined and default store files differently. This confuses many people. I use "user-defined" so all files are in a single folder. Click on league settings then database to see where your files are being stored.

Sounds like its installed in a location where access is either being restricted by the OS, or an antivirus is interfering.

What OS?

I much prefer the single folder installation and having everything in one place.

I had an issue trying to customize some style related things.
- running OOTP as administrator helps
- additionally some of the data/ subfolders for some reason admin full control permissions were being ignored and run as admin didn't overcome so I had to adjust the permission for the "users" group for those subfolders to have full modify rights as well and then everything worked

Out of curiosity where did you install to?

I do all of my non-steam game installs into a c:\games directory to avoid any potential permissions issues. Also makes it easy to whitelist the entire folder for antivirus exclusion.

I do most installs, especially during beta in single folder,, which never have issues.

The one with issues was a default windows installer (which I really only do to recognize any issues others might have during beta)
c:\program files
I think in the future for full installer, I'll do it the way you have in c:\games or something.

is it forcing you to install data files in ONEDRIVE folder!? That is disaster
