Game Not Loading

Hwilensky · 03-16-2026, 05:19 AM

When I hit "play now" on a tournament I am getting an error message stating that it could not load world file, error while loading database, error put in a file, and I should update the game(which i am have the current one). Entering the league itself there is no issue. Please help!

Edit: So it seems to be happening on tournaments that are currently running. Finished Tournaments seem to be ok. Hope this helps.

Getting "Could not load world file...you tried to load a saved game which was saved with a newer build of ootp and which is not compatible..."

Happens when trying to view any ongoing tourny by clicking "play now".

Not true! I have had the current build since satuday, and why would I be able to enter finished tournaments but not the ones currently running? I can enter the league screen as well.
