A Note on the Live Start

With the new season, the live start will open up and be available tomorrow. Before people go out, I just wanted to give one little tip that unfortunately we could a little late for the build that released today.

In your data/stats folder, there is a file called "draft_list.csv". Before running a live start, please delete that file. If not, then you may notice some weird issues with the first year MLB draft.

Other than that, enjoy the feature for another year. We'll obviously be monitoring things over the next little bit - obviously, until live data starts to roll in it can be very hard to know if errors will crop up. As usual, if you run into errors, we recommend running with the trace mode enabled, and then including that in any bug reports as that can help trace what part of the update failed.

If people don't like deleting, just make a separate folder on desktop then cut and paste the file there. If you then have problems just cut and paste the file back

Yes, the latest patch should not include the file (or should include an empty file which is fine). However, there's always a chance that it didn't get copied over the old copy, so it's something for people to consider.

The file used to contain old/stale data, so not needed at all

Thanks folks, I do not see a file via this click path and I believe I have downloaded the update so I'm concluding that I'm "good".

Sounds like it

This has been fixed, so it's safe to unsticky.
