Also remember that nobody shut the door on this fellow. He just chose not to come back because, I am afraid, this game is not for him. Who knows, he may prove me wrong. The longer it goes, the less likely we are going to see him again.

Oh, I know and I do understand.
I'm not a fan of that behavior either. I just know that I have said some pretty dumb things in my life and I'm just glad that people like you were willing to give me multiple opportunities to show that I'm not like the person that I appear to be when I "sound off" at my worst. I just want the OP to know that there's no reason to worry about was said here because I've said worse. As other have said it's actually worse to leave this hanging like this. OOTP is too good of a game, Marcus is too good of a businessman, and the community is too good of a group for a post like this one. We've all put a lot of work into this community one way or another and we all deserve better than this post. With all that said, I still think is was just frustration and not trolling.

So, that speaks to either your computer not being up to par or something you have done to corrupt your league files, if you are into tinkering. Try the usual: Check disk, defragmentation, create more drive space if necessary. Completely uninstall and reinstall the game. Sad to say, start a new league if necessary. It happens sometime; the files can get corrupt with a super large league over decades. Good luck.

There is a distinct possibility that what the OP is referring to is the post-crash popup that says there are text files with different dates that need replaced, or whatever it actually says. The processing of that deletion or update takes a long time, depending on the league and often causes one to 'think' it's locked up due to the fact it's Not Responding, but it is indeed still working and you just have to wait it out. That may be the pseudo-crash he's referring to, but I'm only speculating.

Hey bugs DO happen... even isolated ones. I have a game that I can't do back-ups on. When I try, it fails. Every time. I don't want to lost my game so I do manual backups.
That doesn't change the fact that it shouldn't happen and is frustrating. I get it.

Hi Dennis
We all sincerely want to help, it's just the others have seen countless rants like this. I usually avoid them to avoid becoming jaded and cynical (ha! I'm a Mets fan...) Anyway. Could you post the specs for the computer you're trying to run OOTP on? That might help us. Also - try running a bare bones MLB game with no other international leagues enabled. Lets us know if the game starts properly doing that. Go to "New Standard Game", checkmark JUST "Major League Baseball", and then report back. ~Tej

One last thing. I read this again in your OP: "Game keeps hanging up when I try to clean up disks which it prompts me to do." That's a clue that I missed. This game needs ample hard drive space and it needs to have it orderly (that is, defragmented). So, you should check that and clean up and clean out, but not while the game is running!

Bru, or anyone who has played this game for years now, how many teams, minor league teams, etc. qualify for/as "a super large league over decades" that would/could cause this game to crash? I play with all the real teams and their minor league affiliates, and don't save fielding stats from year to year to help decrease the file size, and delete players that don't make the show. I'm thinking/hoping that those 2 things help decrease the possibility of problems. |

I know this - OOTP alone should NEVER cause a need/want to reformat/reinstall Windows.
Can I suggest some programs? Spybot Search and Destroy Ad-Aware AVG Virusscan Install those on all your PCs/Windows based laptops. They do some great work in the background. Also - keep in mind, OOTP is MASSIVE. It runs anywhere from 900 MB to 1.6 GB of RAM on my machine. I have 12 GB so it doesn't kill other stuff, but on 4 GB, it may.
