The rosters are still as of OD, this is intentional. Since the last patch only minor errors were fixed and some more minor leaguers ratings adjusted.

First, save your league(s) someplace. Then start the game (if you can) and temporarily unlicense it in Settings.

Next try to uninstall the game using the Control Panel - Programs and Features.* Look in your file explorer to see which instance of OOTPB that uninstall actually wiped out. If Control Panel does not mention OOTPB anymore, then you can probably just manually delete the other instance.

Reinstall the game, insert your license, and move your saved league(s) back into place in the Saved Games folder.

* As always, I'm talking about Windows. If you are on a Mac, you'll have to translate what I'm saying into your own Mac language.

But no link to the mirror server. I've tried twice to download this "patch" and each time it quit with a couple hundred megs to go.

Try using a Download Manager. There have been issues reported by others.

It is NOT compatible with the Steam or Mac OSX AppStore version! The Steam update will be available via the Steam client soon and the Mac AppStore version is pending review at Apple, which will take some more days.

Hey guys,

Since we're about to leave for some vacation time (Matt is already gone), we figured we'd release a maintenance patch which fixes some reported problems. It's the 4th update for OOTP 16, version number 16.4.17.

Update Info: To apply the update, simply download the setup file and install it over your current installation. There is no need to uninstall or unlicense your current copy! However, you should quit the game before installing it, of course. Patches always contain all the changes from previous patches / updates. Saved games are compatible between different versions.

Download link for PC:
Main server: PC Installer

Download link for Mac:
Main Server: Mac OS X Installer

Download link for Linux:
Main Server: Linux Installer

Here are the improvements / fixes compared to version 16.3.16:
- Updated roster set (need to start new game for changes to apply)
- Player counter offers should now be acceptable deals to them
- Fixed performances of the day for all-star games
- Adjusted reputation calculation for coaches
- Adjusted budget calculations double counting cash. Adjusted budget calculations to tie closer to revenue.
- Fixed online leagues duplicating player shortlists on upload
- Fixed HOF text for closers (need to delete news\html\images\hof\*.png files from saved game folder to regenerate cards)
- Added batting GS stats to historical import for years starting in 1975
- Fixed several minor bugs + text issues

Final thoughts
The development team is now in complete recovery mode and take some time off. The next update is scheduled for late May, and with it 3D stadiums will get a great overhaul, we'll add custom lineups / depth charts, and we'll also continue to fix reported problems and tweak areas of the game where we feel some fine work is needed.

Cheers!
Markus

Thanks. A Download Manager did the trick.

My Mac seems to be working overtime when playing the game since downloading the latest patch.

Activity monitor shows OOTP using 108% of CPU constantly, and my fan is running, even with no other applications running. This was not an issue before the patch.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Running on a 2015 Macbook Air. 2.2 Ghz Intel Core i7 with 8GB RAM.

Milestone watch needs to be taken care of as well. Some is missing but when you goto league page the missing segments show up. Was reported but no response possibly due to too many message on page

Anyone else still experiencing incredibly slow simulation speed on mac? The fix never took for me. I am updating through Steam and have the most recent version. Takes close to a minute to sim one day.

One little quirk that has always driven me batty. When running league or team reports with splits (for instance, team pitching stats with a split for March), how difficult would it be to have a totals line at the bottom? So, if I look at my pitching for March, I would be able to look at the total stat lines for the month instead of having to export the report and import it to Excel, or am I missing an existing way to pull that info for my inner geek?

I have the download running right now, and all I'm going to say is that you shouldn't have to use another utility to download the update.

The Blue Jays roster is nowhere near the actual game one roster. I thought this patch updated the rosters?

Of course, I post this and it downloads in like 40 minutes (record for this version) with no problems in the first try. Go figure.

The roster should reflect the opening day 40 man rosters and the minor leagues. What the AI does to it after you sim a day is the AI's and your controls.

I finally have a chance to check out the new rosters in the latest patch!

It looks like most of the Opening Day rosters are correct, or very close to correct. But I noticed that the 40-man rosters are still incomplete, although changed from the last patch. The team I'm running (Brewers) had 28/40 in the previous patch and now have 29.

Is this what other people are seeing, or do I have something wrong? The rosters appear current to Opening Day otherwise (Kimbrel is on the Padres), but I guess I was under the impression that each team would have its 40-man roster as of Opening Day as well.

is it during an active game only? my PC allocates about 15-20% to OOTP and then it allocates another 20% to "system"

but only during an active game. i assumed this was normal
