The End Of OOTP 19
With the last update coming out a few days ago, it seems that its now on to looking at OOTP 20. I have been playing for 15 years now and have to say that I have never had as many problems with an OOTP game. The constant crashing really became a problem. Im not sure if its just windows 10 or what, but having played the game on 3 different high end computers and still have to save all the time because I knew a crash was right around the corner is very aggravating. Im hoping OOTP 20 doesn't have the same problem.

Been playing OOTP19 since it was released, have not had a single crash. Not one.
Hate to say it's not the game, it's you, but...

I've been playing since OOTP 6 or 7. I have had only a hand.full of crashes through 5 or 6 computers and 5 operating systems. Every one only required a reboot and the only thing I lost was the results of a few games. But I also do hope OOTP 20 continues to run just as well. Knock on wood.

Same here ... an occasional crash but since I regularly backup my files it's the same as for micropterus58 ...
You might lose a few games, but nothing serious.

Been playing since v4 (2002) buying each new version and importing my ongoing game. I had one crash in v4 that made me restart my first game. The game I play now was started with that game.
Since v4 I have had maybe two crashes between then and v18. In v19 I had 3 of the phantom crashes to desktop while playing out a game following the second patch after PT was added. Had to be an issue on my system as there were only 3 or 4 contributors to the bug thread I joined in on. Since then, between updating drivers on my system and subsequent patch releases, I have not had another crash, nor have there been anymore posts in that thread. So for me that's 5 crashes over 17 versions. Whatever the OP is experiencing in his\her game I am not seeing with mine and haven't in any of the 17 versions I have owned. |

I'm right in the middle.
I thought OOTP19 was excellent. The graphical upgrades, by themselves, were awesome. I'm really excited with the direction of the game. I really hope the developers continue to work the AI and graphics. More bells and whistles should wait until the AI is truly competitive. I can't wait for the day when I don't need house rules to even things out. However, I did have a ton of crashes, esp. early on. In the months after release, the "bugs report" forum was filled with Mac users having trouble. I still reboot my CPU before every game, because that's seemed to work for me. If I don't reboot, I still get an occasional crash (Mac Air, circa 2013, 11 inch). Anyways, overall, it was a very good game. I'm certainly a satisfied customer and can't wait for OOTP20 Last edited by highandoutside; 02-12-2019 at 02:25 PM. |

The reboot thing may be a good idea. I mostly play on laptops and I put them in sleep mode. Also I'm wondering if the fact that this league that I play, which is in it's 327th season could be a problem. Did not have this problem in 18 though.

Besides the crashing ( I save weekly so its not a huge deal) 19 is the best OOTP to date.

I found the reboot every few days other than putting into sleep was a huge help for me. Also making sure all drives were updated helped as well.

Another thing that I have had to do for the first time in 15 year is run the game as an administrator. If I dont its tells me my licence number is not valid.

I would have to agree with the OP. Literally ALL my saves have ended with the file corrupting. Albeit, I've just purchased the game and have only run 3 saves, but still. My current game, refuses to advance past April 13 2022 for some reason. Just freezes up when i try to finish the day. Love the game, but it is, most likely, the most bug filled game I've played in a while

Quite a few people have reported this exact issue in the tech support forum, looks like it's a bug that was introduced with the latest patch and they are looking into it. |

FWIW, I never had a crash and I played 125 seasons or more with 19.

I have never had the game crash on me this year. I think OOTP 15 did this to me quite a bit.

I agree with the OP. I can barely finish one game without a crash. WIN10. Worst stability of any software I own.
