How do you install the backup copy?

Eugene Church · 05-21-2015, 02:25 PM

The manual doesn't give any information on how the starters being used as relievers functions.

My current dynasty, the State Line League, is having problems... each starter is being taken out for a pinchhitter the first time they bat in the game... this happens in almost all games... sometimes only one is replaced for a pinchhitter.

I think the problem has something to do with me choosing to allow starters to be used in relief... on the team pitching screen you can make this choice... selecting "Yes" or "No".

Being computer-illiterate, I try to load the game backup to see if that will fix it.
I find "backups" in the FILE menu and select "Restore backup", but I cannot find the correct folder when I choose "Select".

How do I find the correct folder?

What do I do after I find and load the correct folder?
Will it load it up in the "target folder" or "league name" section on the screen, which is right above the "Restore" button?

Do I just then hit "Restore?

Thanks for any help you can offer.

The league does not show up as a choice to click on when you hit restore?

The selector should default to the backups folder which is usually located at .....\Documents\Out of the Park Developments\OOTP Baseball 16\backups

When you find the league backup just type in that box at the bottom labeled "Target folder or League name" any new league name and hit "Start Restore" and then you should be able to load the league by the name you entered as you would any league.

P.S. I use the "Allow Starters to pitch in relief" option all the time without this issue. Have you set that as a league-wide option or just for your team?

I'll give it a try.

Thanks for the help.
