BZ 1893: Game crashes when using import/export function
I am running the latest patch, 9.1.6, although I had the same problem with the last version, 9.1.2 as well. I tried to export the roster file from the Game Setup, League Setup screen, which worked ok. But after I made a few changes and saved the text file, when I tried to import the text file back into the game, from the same screen, the game crashes after loading 60%. I did not move the location of the text file or do anything to it, other than edit some of the numbers in the file.
I am running an historical league on my PC, if that is relevant. |

In the rosters text file, I changed the endurance rating of three pitchers who had become hitters over the course of their career so they would not rate as pitchers anymore. I changed whatever the old rating was, and made it 0 for all 3 guys. I tried doing it this way since I can manually edit the endurance to 1, but not 0, in the player editor screen.

To add more information to my previous post, I did a little experiment and found out that even if I make no changes whatsoever to the roster text file after I export it, the game still crashes when I try to import the roster text file again.

Are you opening up the file and saving it? Maybe your editor is reformatting it?

I have tried both ways. Making changes and saving, produces the crash. So I tried doing nothing with the file, just exporting it then importing it right away, not even opening the file or touching it in anyway, and that crashed, too. And I've tried opening the file and then saving it in both notepad and wordpad. Was that what you meant by asking if my editor is reformatting it?

Just curious, having never had to use tech support before, is there an estimated wait time to get issues resolved? My problem isn't a critical one, I can still play while I wait without the league history being distorted too drastically, so I'm just wondering if I have a while to wait or should expect something within the next couple days.

This issue has been claimed fixed for the upcoming patch (post 9.1.6). If after installing it you still see this behavior, please post in Tech Support. Thanks.

Previous problem with crashing not solved
A while back, I started this thread
http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...-function.html because the game crashed whenever I tried to import a text file using the import/export function. As you can see at the end of that post, I was told the bug would be fixed in newer patches. It has not been. My game still crashes after loading 66% when I try to import a text file. This includes files that I have not modified at all, and not even opened. I just generated them with the export function, then tried to reimport immediately, but the game crashes at that point. I don't know if this matters at all, but I went straight from 9.1.6 patch to the 9.2.2 patch. |

I have reopened the report for you. However, since the last patch has been released for OOTP 9, you should not realistically expect a fix before the next full release of the game. Thanks for reporting the issue.

I was afraid of this. Just a little disappointed that the website info concerning the last patch said this was now fixed, but I'm still having the problem.
I guess this means you can close this thread down, as there isn't much more for me to do except deal with it. |
